Pet Name For The New East

[Dashing Bob S]

It's been called everything in informal conversation amongst Hibsmen during its development over the years, from 'Shaw Heights' to 'The Scabby', with 'the cave' and 'cowshed' in between.

What new name can we have for the East? (I'm talking about a fans name, not some lame sponsor designation.)

It can't be anything which celebrates its tattiness, cause is isn't that tatty.

I'd like to see it being called 'the Leith' with the west dubbed 'the Edinburgh' or 'the city' stand.

Perhaps we could call the FF the 'harp' and get the symbols of each up in the front of each stand, give the place a splash of style, colour and symbolism.

[blairwallace]

The tier, as it is the only stand with a single tier?

[Jack]

Having seen the photos of the inside I think it will be called the cave again or the barn.

[Barney McGrew]

I'll always know it as the Terracing :cool2:

[Amsterdam]

The Cabbage Patch or Farmers Market:devil:

The Terrace

or

The Fort

[Dashing Bob S]

The Terrace

or

The Fort

Quite like The Fort, especially if the scheme in Leith with the same name is to be demolished.


I suggest The Huckle, as people standing up are likely to be 'huckled' by police or stewards.

Long buried memories of early eighties rockabilly band Coast to Coast doing the Hucklebuck have returned. Not nice.

The All Stand.

[heretoday]

The Matterhorn - in recognition of the long and unsteady climb we had to make on matchdays years ago, some of us encumbered with Pale Ale cans down jeans, socks etc.

Per ardua ad astra.......

Good one. As much as i like the look of the one-tired stand, I think it's going to get boring quickly, nipping up and down to toilets, catering etc.

[johnrebus]

Custers.

After all it is the 'last stand'.


Please yourselves.

Always be the terrace to me - the fort is kinnaird park, no a good view of the stand from there!!

Toilets? We had to make do with a brick wall - and we were grateful........

[Frazerbob]

I always thought the Cowshed was the old enclosure behind the goal at the Famous Five end.

[Sprouleflyer]

The Loch-End

As it's on that side.

[Phil MaGlass]

The Bam Stand :greengrin

Instead of Band Stand try Bam Stand, or The Big Green Monster

[GordonHFC]

The Link !!

[M11BMO]

The Loch-End

As it's on that side.

I like the idea of that. :flag:

[RCNG]

How about 'The Wall'.

Gives it a sense of presence and something teams will find it hard to get by?! :dunno:

[luxjock]

THE BEAST?


Or would that be more appropriate for the PBS?

[blackpoolhibs]

THE BEAST?

Or we could call it the Rix. Its very young, but even us Hibbys cant wait to get into it.

[Hibby70]

[Sprouleflyer]

No bad BH, no bad.

[Speedway]

In recognition of the legendary status of it's predecessor, it should be called the 'Mindyerbackslads' Stand.

Either that of the Great Tom Farmer stand/

[heretoday]

The Loch-End

As it's on that side.

I like that too. It has a bland, inoffensive, old world quality.

[Dashing Bob S]

The Loch-End

Not bad. See you all in 'the Lock'.

[Toaods]

Beside the goals

You were lucky! We used t'dream 'bout 'avin' a brick wall. We had a cardboard box.
Tell that to the kids today and they don't believe ye.

[jdships]

Farmers Den

(If only just to make the Merricks green wi' envy)

The Wee Stand

[Vini1875]

Think the OP is getting his nicknames mixed up . The cave and cow shed were names for the old stand where the FF stand is now. I don't think there was a universal name for the east stand other than the east stand. I used to call it the ned shed and I'd be happy enough if the new east stand retains a flavour of the ned shed.

A name will naturally grow out of peoples experience of the new stand I don't think it can be artifically manufactured before anyone has sat in.

Sometimes you wished your neighbour had used a cardboard box.

'The Roaring East' (opposite the 'Rustling West')

[iwasthere1972]

The Dodgy Pie Stand.

[(((Fergus)))]

See you in "The East" has a mystical ring to it. As if one is venturing in search of enlightenment. (Not likely, to be fair)

"The West" on the other hand is a place of material comfort and spiritual decay.

[Toaods]

the fully owned and paid for stand

[Chuckie]

I'm calling it The Tash Stand, and in homage to the great man Im rocking up tomorrow with a mouser....

[heretoday]

I'm sure there's an old Mae West joke in there somewhere.......... :wink:

Mae: Is that four cans of McEwans down yer keks or are ya just glad ta see me?

Answer: No - it's four cans of McEwans and I've got a half bottle of "Old Tawny" down the back. See you after the match, Mae........maybe.

[steviehfc]

I'll always know it as the Terracing :cool2::agree: That's what i still call it.

[Keith_M]

I like the idea of the Hawkhill Stand, after Hawkhill Avenue, the street we all used to enter the turnstyles from.

[Hibercelona]

"The stand that actually was" in honour of our neighbours.
