Do you think this would be an option for Easter Road?

Finally a use for the corners...

Finally a use for the corners...

I can see it now: a suspended infinity pool heated to 38ºC between the North and East Stands with a magnificent hanging garden at the back tended by scantily clad, bronzed model types who bring exotic cocktails to the pool throughout the 90 minutes of the match. It would have its own hawk perched majestically in a palm tree, its steely gaze terrifying even the most gallus of half-time gulls. Entrance to the Easter Road Infinitarium would, naturally, be restricted to uber-fans and, for the sake of modesty, regulated by an extraordinarily narrow turnstile.

All we need now is an overproduction of Chinese steel and the dream could be a reality.

Female I'm guessing? :greengrin

[snooky]

You'd have to win the Pools to get that.

I think in these modern times that the bronzed lovelies would be recruited on a fair and equal basis that wasn't skewed by any gender stereotypes.

What have you got against lobster red skin?

The lobsters drive the gulls wild. Best to avoid.

Would it only be for season ticket holders or would 10% be walk-ups?

[cabbageandribs1875]

looks like the gadgy at the front is doing something nawty in the pool :confused:

Über-fans only. Season ticket, .net PM, Hibs TV, HSL, private shareholder, 0-7 and 6-2 attendee and ITK with sources as absolute minimum qualifications.

The thought of someone old enough to have been at the 0-7 turning up there in budgie smugglers may well keep me awake tonight. 😲

Did they not have that at Falkirk one game last season :confused:

Jim Jeffries has as many qualifications as me!

[Carheenlea]

The Aussies are late to the party with this - It was central Scotland and Falkirk who trailblazed this kind of matchday experience.

Would a tick in the box for each of these give you extra Loyalty Points?

[monktonharp]

I think this stuff is probably more relative to the likes of the Red Lichties ground (Arbroath fc ) in Scotland. can picture it now, open at one end with a seapool, where the waves just slash over those hardy Lichties fans to cool them down, during disputed hand ball decisions etc

[Alan62]

No. Loyalty points have as much value as a Vladimir Romanov share certificate.

Can you imagine it though. Twenty people in a pool bevvying but not one single trip to the bogs.

It will be neat pish by the end of a cricket game.

I lost my budgie a long time ago :embarrass .......... but I was at the 0-7 game. :hyper

[Hibs1969]

I've been at the test match at the Gabba for the last 3 days and can categorically confirm that it is much hotter than ER will ever be. Positively scorching ☀️��. The pool is a decent gimmick but I'd rather be in it first thing in the morning than later in the afternoon for sure. My son was proudly wearing his Hibs shirt on the first day so be assured that the Hibees were represented at the Ashes.

Sounds like a great experience for you and your son. Not a fan of cricket, but I imagine it would be a great experience.

Yes - not many days when it's 27/28 degrees at Easter Road. Sounds like the Aussies were a bit too hot for the English also.
