I've posted this in the PM forum thinking it was being posted in main, so...
As the club posts pictures of the new pitch getting ready for next season, I started thinking about what development I'd like to see the club spend money on.
Obviously we talk about filling in the corners, the naming of the stands, the long awaited helipad and we've also got a big piece of empty land we own between the FF and East.
Given all the HibsTV media facilities we have, I'd like to see a new scoreboard replace our current Atari version and be placed in the corner between East and South, where it could show player profiles, clips from past matches, replays of goals and of course, a great source of Ad revenue.
This would give us a stadium befitting one of 'Europe's best young strikers'.
What improvement would you like to see at the ground?

I would build a supporters hub on that empty site. A restaurant for those who want good grub - somewhere proper wi tablecloths n that (Still Game fans get fifty pence for placing that quote), then a bar/pub type place for everyday fans who want a beer and a burger before the game.
You could even have a museum on site too, as well as more hospitality suites that could have boxes and balconies facing the pitch from the corner.
I think that would be cool as ****.
Otherwise it's quite clear that the stadium needs tarted up, as evidenced by the club looking for staff.

We should have a fan zone in between the east and ff.
Giant screen to watch games, outside catering and a place for kids to play football.

Singing section behind the goal and sort the PA system out.

What is the space between the FF and East currently used for? See a a few cars being ushered in; is it an overspill of the west stand car park atm?

The concourse in the east is a bit dull. Maybe more green and white rather than Grey? Also is there really any need for the massive sponsor borders around the TV screens? Go down at half time and look up to check the results and you can barely make it out.

I'd like to see the steel work behind the famous Five replaced. It has the sillouhete of the old beer may badge on it.

Catering is abysmal.
Also, better music. Charts now are absolute ***** and sadly ER is the only place I get made to listen to anything like them

Decent PA system
Singing section in an area where they'll help with the atmosphere, maybe massage standing in one the corner between Famous 5 and East stand.
Decent priced food
Fan club somewhere in the ground, BTG is crap.

Toilets in the West Lower that don't involve those entering having to squeeze past those exiting, therefore taking away the log jam that happens every week.
Hibs are a well run club but do nothing at all to enhance the match day experience ever. I suppose they've measured that they don't need to, we'll just keep coming back.

Just out of interest, what do you suppose is the life span of the FF & South stands?
They are 25 years old this summer and although very functional and all that, are they starting to show their age?
Slightly tired looking now and things like lifts starting to falter, what can we do?
Remember when the East was built the pitch was enlarged in an easterly direction. This means that the two end stands no longer sit centered on the middle of the pitch, its just a minor thing but a wee bug bear of mine.
If money was no object, I would build two new end stands, both single tiered and with the FF end being totally safe standing. The gap between the FF and East could be used for much revamped function suites, shops, museum or fans hub or a combination of all of that as the space is very large indeed.
Thoughts?

Spend some money on extending and taking control of the food and drink outlets.
Get a centre forward who can head the ball.

Moving the singing section is an absolute must
Away fans in the upper tier or corner of the west (Hamilton etc)
Camera angle to back of lower tier in the west if possible
Green and white nets
Close the upper tier for games with low crowds (midweek cup games) to condense the crowd
Loads of improvements could be made
