    Old Easter Road Sign !

    Easter road is without doubt one of the best stadiums in the country but I really wish we had kept the old red brick entrance ! Bit of Hibs History gone !

    I've mentioned this in the past.

    The club could replace the green metal effort that's in place at the moment and have a replica of the old one rebuilt. It's only a wall and not over elaborate so wouldn't cost a fortune and would add a bit of the old character back into our brand new stadium.

    Whether it's a goer or not, something needs done about the lack of branding and identity for the stadiums exterior, it's been left for far too long and should have been done before now.

    I've got a print of a water colour painting of the ground showing that sign, no idea who the artist was. My Dad has one of the PBS, I think by the same artist.

    Looking at the link I don't remember South Korea ever playing at ER, then again I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

    Played against Ghana in WC warm up in 2006. Best atmosphere at ER in years.

    I've got the Players Lounge sign from the auld North Stand when it was pre demolished after the Dundee game before the dozers went in.
    North stand replaced by the west, could never understand that! :)

    North, South and Centre Stands along with North and South Enclosures replaced by the West will confuse you more! ;-)

    I've got Alan O'Brien tied to a swingball in the back garden, keeps the cats off and he is fast enough to catch the squirrels, when neither of them are there he just runs round and round. The dog approaches him with a ball occasionally but he is just not interested.

    That's a cracking idea.

    Have you seen any work done in your garage without seeing it being done?
