Was around easter road today, and did not see any sign of the cladding at the south end of the East. Does anyone know if it is still happening and if so, will it be in place for Sundays victory against the huns?

would make sense. Sure the atmosphere will be cracking on sunday anyway. Will be good to get it in though.

Anyone else got reservations about this cladding?
From what I read elsewhere it's only going to go half way up, not seen any pics of how it will look but it sounds a bit crappy to be honest. Can't think of anywhere else that has something similar.

Hibs did not want it, but the above firm made them an offer we could not refuse

This cladding thats supposed to only be going half way up seems strange. Why couldn't they make it all the way up, but have them on hinges that could be left open all the time to allow the air through, but closed during match days?

That would look really good, if it went the full length.
Would also be a potential money spinner, as companies could pay to put adverts on it.

Having the cladding the full height of the stand would probably cost a good amount more as the design of the cladding system would have to be significantly more robust to cope with wind loadings.
I am no engineer, but given the saftey factors worked in by these guys, it would surprising to me if they didn't go down the total overdesign route with both their specification and detailing for a system of that nature. If it was to have hinged fixings, this would only make it less economic.
I think the current design is a good compromise for the short term, as I think these two areas offer the most potential for future stadium works.

Maybe the cladding could be some sort of tarpolin which could be fixed to steel runners on each stand. then they could be hoisted up for games and dropped there after.
This would also allow different match day sponsors to tout for premium advertising space. PETRIE !!!!!!!!!!!!

if it keeps the sound in a wee bit then I think it will be a good thing and could improve match day atmospheres. As has been said, it could be worth a lot in advertising if the tash plays it right, so I reckon it could be could for us.

Despite all the 'Emperors new clothes' stuff going on I think it looks rubbish. Nice stand, hate the gaps.

I don't think this is a good move at all, at least until all 4 corners were done
The worst corner for the wind is south west and that's remaining open. I think it has to for deliveries etc. But closing the east corners in will create a swirling effect from the wind from south west corner.
Just my opinion
