Following the ongoing discussion about folk leaving early:

It's a fact the difficulty exiting the east at full time is the issue, so perhaps it's time Hibs seriously thought about developing the FF / East corner of the stadium. My guess ( and it is a guess ) is that we could fit 1,500 seats in that corner, which would allow us to put another floor on the east with new exits half way up it without losing capacity .... in fact giving us a net increase.

Two things:

A) .... It shouldn't be forgotten we lost a few hundred seats from the from of the FF, South and West as part of past redevelopments, so any FF / East development would also replace them.

B) .... In an era where clubs billions in debt like Real Madrid and Barcelona still seem able to find billions for massive stadium redevelopments .... not to mention billions in debt Man Utd talking about spending 2 billion on a hew gaff ... it surely isn't that outlandish to think Hibs could find 10 million quid or so to make this happen .... I doubt an absolutely basic construction project with no frills would cost much more than that, and surely our minted Anglo American overlords could chip in to help.

It would probably mean Hibs having to find a way to sling the big screens under the roof of the FF and south stands .... not a bad thing for folk in the east.

I'm excited already
