east stand re build pics

[Disc O'Dave]

Cheers.

I was just curious as I'm keen to take mine along, however the last time I had my SLR at a game, the stewards took exception to it and took a fair bit of convincing to let me into the ground with it.

I wouldn't want to chance it again if they're going to be awkward about it. Really don't want to have to take the compact.

Normally I would agree - however I was determined to take mine on the last day of the old East Stand :boo hoo: and even took an extra lens. As I approached the gates and seen all the police and stewards searching everyone, I got nervous...

I fessed up about the camera, saying it was to capture photos of the stand, but the PC told me he didn't care about cameras, it was spanners he was looking for!

I think if you are not obviously taking pictures of the action as the game is on, you will be fine. It does make me chuckle however when they stop a guy with a wide angle lens SLR from taking pictures, but allow the compacts to fire away...who probably have far better zoom capability and can take great action shots.

Not just at the footy either - I seen that at the Christmas Market last year too.

As it happens, the last time I had it with me was the last day of the old Stand. I explained to them what I had it with me for, and yet they were still unwilling to relent. It was only when I told them I had come through on the train from central Fife and couldn't exactly pop home to put it back in the house that they let me in with it, and only on the condition that it was kept in it's bag under my seat. :rolleyes:

Had to laugh when they said they didn't want cameras with interchangeable lenses in the ground, yet I only had one lens with me, fixed to the camera, with a max focal length of 55mm. That coupled with where my ST seat is, makes decent action shots a practical impossibility.

Completely agree with you on part in bold :agree:

:top marks Great pic mate.

[down-the-slope]

Just passed on way home...The cladding at North of East is on and the wall that was allowing access into stand for vehicles was almost finished ....loads of workmen getting things sorted for tonight......looking great

[--------]

I think they were still laying the other side when I was in - there were also a few "long ties" hanging about, so I kept myself in that corner.

I must confess at first I thought that was strange, going right up to the edge, and thought maybe we had made the pitch even wider just for this game.....(short and wide...press the game a bit more) but then again, the touchline usually ends up bare right along the line from all the throw-ins, so it makes sense to have the astro-turf neat to the edges....

Either way, it looks and feels great - really takes the whole stadium up a notch or two in presentation....


That's a very nice photo, Dave. The ground's looking really good - a proper modern football stadium with all mod cons.

Thanks for all the good work, mate. :thumbsup:

[TamHibs]

According to my mate the East Stand will be covered with flags this is the text he sent:

Hibees bounce, green n White striped and guessing the other is the green and White Scotland flag wi badge, nipped over at lunch but couldn't see the one closest to north stand

Anyone confirm if it's the case or not?

Cracking shots sir.

Interesting that they have advertising along the front of the East facing the stand......there's not going to be anyone in there....I would imagine it'll be too close to the stand to show up on TV.......:hmmm:

It's also amazing how having the goals fully in position cranks it up another notch in "looking like a proper football stadium"

[col02]

I have really enoyed alll the photos I have seen on this thread.

Special thanks to Dave & Jamie for their considerable efforts.

Despite all the negativity on the go at the moment, looking at those pictures still makes you believe there are better days to come, hopefully starting tonight.

Wont it be good as well for Deek to be able to take corner kicks without having to climb the "step" to pitch level and kick the ball in the same movement

I would like to echo these sentiments! :agree:

Pitch was pretty damn good too. Pity we didn't really use it as well as we could. It was my brothers 1st visit to ER for a good few years and even though it wasn't the best (understatement ;-) or what ) he has well and truly got "the bug" again and wants to get back again. His work commitment prevents him from getting to ER most Saturdays but he has been hooked "big style". I was also there with a friend and his 5 year old kid and I think he has got the bug too. What would things be like if we actually played well and got a result. Ho hum. Cheer up folks....

:thumbsup::agree:

good stuff :) think ppl should remember that week in week out we will be playing far worse opponents than that! -Technically V good, fit and well structured.

Great to see the stand from the west upper, will be great to finally get in there!

[Westie1875]

The pictures although fantastic really don't do the new Easter Road justice, it looked absolutely first class tonight :thumbsup:

I can't wait until the East is full of fans, very intimidating for opposition players if we can manage to fill the stadium for the big games.

Fingers crossed it will be ready for the Rangers game.

I didn't know we were building a new stand. What a pleasant surprise it was to turn up and see it sitting there, fair made my night!!

[CentreLine]

I was shocked when I got in to the stadium last night. It looked to me as if the colour of the new east stand was the same as the other stands; the new east was the same height as the other stands; the pitch was magnificent and well proportioned with the goal posts in the cente of each end. That can't be right :grr:

outrage!!

PETRIE!!:grr:

[Jack]

One thing that got me about the flags in the stand last night.

When we were in the East these flags looked damned huge. Sitting there in the new East they look a tad tiny!

Jamie, did you wash it in the close season? :greengrin

[JoJo_07]

OK we got beat but how good does the stadium look (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOzWjMx_3Hk&feature=player_embedded#!)?

Wait until you realise you approach it from behind, and enter through the bottom.

For anyone that can bear it, the 'here's the highlights' thread is awesome quality and the stand looks immense- even tho it's empty.

[aussie_hibee]

Bump. more photo's and info please ;-)

[3pm]

Went round again today. Told it won't be ready for the Huns game by another worky. Have tickets been put on sale for the game on 22/08?

I'd be gutted if true - have got my bro's season ticket for the East for that game, for what will likely be my only trip north before Christmas, and was really looking forward to checking out the view! the west or the south won't be the same.

That would be a real blow. It's getting tight for this and Hibs need to be making a decision on this pretty.

[blairwallace]

they knocked it down and started again...

[hibs0666]

Looking at Jamie's latest pics the exterior of the stand is now finished so I guess most plant will be moving offsite this week, the site gradually cleared, and the safety inspectors moving in.

[Jack]

A modern up tp date stand using the latest safety features, materials, lighting blah blah.

I cant see getting all the certificates will be a problem when presumably its the same folk that pass the death trap across the city on an yearly basis.

I wonder when they'll start putting up this cladding in the corners. Be interesting to see what it's like.

Latest pics look great many thanks DD.

When you contrast rear east with the rear of the famous five it has nice clean lines due to the absence of the concerete pillars. I take it the famous five is a sturdier structure to take the function suites etc. I wonder if the new one will flex when full. I think I would find that a bit disconcerting .

The East is a single tier construction and therefore there is no upper floor to support.

It did look a lot flimsier than than the other stands but there is enough rigidity provided by the cladding and the end panels to stop it flexing too much.

I think that the Empire State Building flexes by around 2 metres at the top in high winds!

[Keith_M]

I have been reliably informed by a Yam that the stand is sh*t, cos it's miles from the pitch, built on the cheap and is not a patch on the Roseburn Stand. So there, I hope you all aren't too disappointed.



Of course, I did ask him if he'd actually seen the stand but he said he didn't have to, all his Yam mates know it's true :greengrin

Was talking to a guy who works in the catering for ER and he says there may be no or little catering available for the huns game , because power , ovens etc not going to be ready , so if you are going to the EAST don't expect pies etc.:a bite::yum yum::coffee:NOT

There was something about this when it was announced the stand would be open for the game, one of the articles mentioned temporary catering arrangements.

i think they are checking them out and if ok they will put them across the stand. The stand is on the limit in regards to steepness (its steeper than tynie i believe) and its along haul to the top. if someone falls there is nothing to grab on to, so this is why the railings are being put in

It could be an optical illusion but from that picture it looks like if you have a seat alongside the exits you would have to stand up to see over the wall next to you. And as we all know there is NO standing in the new East. :greengrin

I've told you what they are for, the stand is very steep and tall if someone falls there would be nothing to grab, it can also help the less fit get up the stairs

Those railings at the exit/entrance are going to cause a lot of problems with people seeing the game! Surely they should have thought about this and not had restricted view seats?

Does anyone have the link to the submitted blueprints to the Edinburgh City Council?

I'd like to have a look to see exactly where my seat will be :greengrin

went past today and the fence from the start of the east down to the road is bveing put up so people can't watch through the gap between the stands:wink:

[Speedway]

I've told you what they are for, the stand is very steep and tall if someone falls there would be nothing to grab, it can also help the less fit get up the stairs

Wouldn't an escalator be a better bet?

[blackpoolhibs]

Wouldn't an escalator be a better bet?

Or a stannah. :wink:

Has the stand been given the safety certificate yet?

[Moulin Yarns]

Little more than a year ago I stood in the West Stand and took this photo:

Today, it's fair to say the outlook looks somewhat different:

Quite simply outstanding.

Many thanks to Hibs for allowing me to take the latter of the two today.


Could they be made into a merged kind of thing to show the old merging into the new?

I would have imagined that would have had to be cleared before tickets were issued.

[PaulSmith]

I would have imagined that would have had to be cleared before tickets were issued.

Or maybe they haven't as this is on the tickets section.

*Tickets for this match cannot be purchased by supporters who have not bought tickets for any home fixture before or who are not on the Hibernian Ticket Office Database. Ticket validity conditional upon existence of full stadium safety certificate prior to event.

Think what would happen if a safety certificate wasn't granted? There would be bedlam.

Was down today and they were finishing off the fence where the old East turnstiles used to be. The gates are in place at both ends of the new stand and the perimeter fence looks like it's complete.

Anyone know why they have fitted giant paper clips?

[Dashing Bob S]

Anyone know why they have fitted giant paper clips?

It's to store the written transfer requests from Smith that slip through his fingers due to the swirling wind, and blow away into the stands.

[Kaiser_Sauzee]

Anyone know why they have fitted giant paper clips?

I think Hibs saw Hearts planning application - you know, all that paper in those boxes, and put a plan in place to keep it all need and tidy.

Turns out in the end, we actually just built the thing and didn't need boxes. Or paperclips.

[derekHFC]

Anyone know why they have fitted giant paper clips?

Is it not something to do with the design of the stand being one tier and with it being as steep as it is?

I'm sure that I heard something similar when I done a tour of the Ajax Stadium and it means that, should you fall, you should be stopped from falling within so many rows.

Or I may be talking bull.

Nope - that'll be what it's about. AND they'll be handy for auld codgers like me to hang on to while we're having our heart attacks climbing the stairs.

Looking at those photos, I have to say it's a very impressive finished article.

They actually ARE the paperclips used for the Yams panning application.

Hibs bought them and the proceeds of the sale now mean that the Yams have 60% of the total fund required to buy that new lightbulb that they're after.

[Gatecrasher]

Right!

Before this gets moved to the Vault (its worthy IMO :greengrin)

here is my view from row x

what photos did you get from the day? i would like to see a few from the other stands if possible just to see what it looked like :agree:

Might I just say what a pleasure it was to finally meet you today - well done for coming up and asking if it was me - I'm usually too reserved for that sort of brashness! I'm really looking forward to your shots OF the East, rather than mine FROM it.

(I've been a fan of Supermac's pictures on Flickr way before all this East Stand toomfoolery kicked off, by the way)

Before anyone asks us to get a room...to the business of pictures.....

Looking like a real stand with spectators milling about....

Hearts apparently have melted down the paperclips from their planning application to obtain the steel for their 'cut down' new stand.

When your top one was taken, I was probably still waiting to get out from the end of my row!

I got a shot of some dudes carrying a load of flags before the game - I'll get that one up later tonight....:wink:

Without having to go all the way back, dooes anyone have a pic from the North/south stand larger than 1024x768?

Shirley this should be vaulted?:confused:

[Spike Mandela]

Any chance of it being full along with the other stands for the Hearts game?

Noticed a large access platform on thursday - it was doing somthing underside of the roof at the front....Bigger speakers :tee hee:
CCTV to check on the East STANDERS :wink:

I'm glad this one's back

To my question...

....any sign yet that they could be putting Cladding along the front of the East Stand? I'd really appreciate this, for the sake of my afternoon's entertainment :greengrin

[SaulGoodman]

Does anyone else think the East is slightly bigger than the Famous Five?

When you say "bigger" what exactly do you mean:

length?

breadth?

Surely then new east is just a figment of our combined imaginations, as I was told by a yam "mate" that we are in financial doo doo and will be the next club to crumble, so we couldn't possibly afford a new stand.

This thread was great.






From way back when we never knew the new stand was gonna be sheite :devil:
