The guy only asked a question, so no real need for the wideo reply.



As far as i'm aware early September is when we should be 'moving in'

More than half the decking is already up, AFAIK. If we get a good dry summer it should go quickly, and it might JUST be ready for the Europa qualifying tie if we're drawn away from home in the first leg.

They're really cracking on with it and I have been told that they're up to and ahead of schedule right now.


EDIT: according to the club, the contractors are hoping that at least part of the new stand will be open for the start of the season.

As long as its not the part facing the pitch then jobs a good un . . .

i'm more worried about the pitch not being ready for the Europa game but would love the east to be ready for the league kick off.

I've read that as well Doddie but I can't see it on the grounds of health and safety.

The stand will need a safety certificate from the council before it can be used, I don't see part certificates being issued.

Does anyone know if it's going to be the same size as the other stands?

That's what I thought, but I've seen it twice in the papers, and I'm sure there's something about it on the main board...

I really wouldn't be totally surprised if it WAS ready on time, the rate it's going up.

I know, Mikey.

I just can't sleep for worrying about it - I'm worn to a frazzle.

If there's one thing I just can't bear it's an altitudinal imbalance in my steel erections.

The stand is not due to be complete till late august.
A partial handover is due for half the stand before start of the season.
The club have requested the first fixture or 2 to be away from home.

Its true that the structure is ahead of schedule but although it looks almost complete there is **** loads still to finish.

The roof steel starts on Monday and it will probably look almost complete very soon but there is lots of internal works etc.

I cant see it being ready for Europa qualifiers but you never know.

There are not a lot of internal works. The stand is a shell with toilets and food outlets.

In any event the Third Qualifying round is hardly likely to attract a massive crowd. The key will be getting the stand open for the Play-off Round 19/26 August. That is assuming that Hibs make it through!

Flew in to Edin Airport today and got a great view of the hallowed ground. Noticed that Real Madrid have their name on their stand roof, and thought that it would be great if Hibs were to paint their name on the roof of the new and final stand that completes the stadium. It looks hugely impressive from the air and something we should be rightly proud of.

Most of the planes that land from the east fly over ER. I'm torn between Hibs FC and Hibernian though

Or maybe "EasterRoad4Ever" :) All rights reserved, of course

Better not let this guy anywhere near the place.

[Keith_M]

What I want to know is, will it be finished before the Sooperdooperfiftymillionpoundmainstand at Tynecastle?

I have to be honest, I'm worried they'll finish theirs first. They are the BigTeam after all!

what gives you that idea???

i can see us easily selling out ER no matter who we get!!

[jws1875]

The pitch should be ready because a one of my friends work for the council and he deals with all the lighting and that and hibs are borrowing the big lights to help the grass grow

Just as long as the paint job matches the other stands. And the blinds. And the soft furnishings and toilet rolls.

Right, I'm off to get my nails done before I embarrass myself.
