I have a brilliant one that I got from either here or the Bounce....shows Alan shooting 'doon the slope' in 1972 Vs Leeds.
Very apt as it shows the old east banking behind which looks like it stretches into the sky packed to the gunnels with Hibees!
Its on my works PC tho'....will put it on tomorrow unless someone else has the same one in the meantime????

....and for those that are feeling all morose about the demise of the tip that is the East Stand, this shows the East that I miss.
I was one of those thousands on the East terrace that night.

Last season!

I was there aswell, on the top tier front row just in line with the 18 yard box where Alan Gordon [RIP] had his goal wrongly chopped of for offside after Arthur Duncan had cut the ball back on to his napper which Alan as he always did rose with aplomb and tucked it away.
We got there at 6 as soon as the gates opened so we could get next to the front barrier on the top tier

Me too. That's the East that I remember - not the East as is today.
Edit: Thanks for the photos, guys.Last edited by --------; 23-02-2010 at 08:38 PM.

What was the East built on, was there anything underneath it, was it sturdy? What was up the very back of it, a wall to stop you falling to the ground? So many questions. I'd love to have experienced the old terracing. Pity I was born about ten years too late

At half time it was the toilet with the best view in the country and at full time it was the quickest way down if you chose to avoid the steps!
PS: I was also on the East at that Leeds match!

call me pedantic too and sory to reduce any claim to fame, but if you are 27 you wouldn't have made it even as a loose one ...

That was a busy front tier that night as I was there...hibs pummelled leeds that night...if I remember leeds cleared the ball off the line loads of times...hammered them 0-0 (PS what a great photo)

Brings back memories of some great European nights that Easter Road saw and we were desperately unlucky to go out to Leeds that night.
Would be fantastic if those great nights returned soon.

Sorry to crap on everyone's chips, but I wasn't on the Terracing that night. I was in the Cowshed.
I had a brilliant view of Bremner playing keepie-uppie on his own line. Quite the most superb exhibition of the sweeper role I've ever seen in the flesh.

Indeed. I'd have happily killed him that night.

However, the current Stand is still basically built on the very lower slope of that hill, so the final link with the old stadium is going.
It does make me think that the new single tier stand is the most appropriate design, though - a nod to the past. Onwards and upwards.Last edited by jacomo; 24-02-2010 at 09:42 AM.
