The Manna House patisserie has been the best addition to Easter Road in recent times (try their olive bread) although Cornelius (off license) is pretty decent too. Sorry no pics.

Yes, it was done by a teenager on photoshop. There are no plans to redevelop ER in the near future.

With season ticket sales where they are in my view Hibs should be redeveloping the east stand.

One thing to keep in mind, Hibs managed to apply and receive planning permission many years ago for the East Stand. This ran out after five years and was reapplied for and granted again almost two years ago.

To use the phrase we use for our friends along the road, the clock is ticking.

I understand it will be much more difficult to get planning permission in the future with the new flats behind us.

Put simply it is a case of redevelop or more than likely lose the potential to do so.

I believe Hibs will redevelop and not allow the planning permission to expire.

I would expect an announcement to this effect sometime in 2007.

If easter road was built like that it would be a waste of money..we struggle to get fans threw the gates at half the time and think how empty it would look if we got the attentions numbers we have atm..would look a little stupid

Hopefully Hibs will take in to account the noise generated by the current East Stand. The low roof has a lot to do with this IMO and it would be sad if it was re-developed the same as the West.

I'd be in favour of a new single tier East Stand being built but anything bigger than that I dont see much point in.

Hibs cannot attract walk up fans because the place is too busy and you can't sit with neutral mates. If there was more space to guarantee flexibility the punters are there to take them.

The south stand always looks pretty empty to me

On Hibs kids day it looks busier but still probably only half the stand being used.

The east stand "the terracing" is where the singing,chanting etc comes from and if it was made bigger it would lose it noise level wouldnt it?

Thats the away end. Hibs were talking about opening the top tier up for hibbies when wee teams like Falkirk, Hertz, St Midden etc come calling, dont know if they have done though.

Anyhow, a new East Stand would make the ground look better, allow more people in and stop that infernal racket that comes from there on match days. (Only kidding about the noise, I love it). New East stand is a good idea though.

**Swoosh** · 18-12-06, 14:05

We may lose a little bit of atmosphere if we redevelop the east stand.
To counter if tho, We would need to fill in the corners of the ground so the noise stays in the stadium. Does not have to be more seats in the corners.
Could always connect all the stands with plastic walls so the sound bounces and echos around.

18grigson75 · 18-12-06, 14:27

we've also got to take into account the fact that we have been doing really well in recent seasons ... what happens if things go tits up again and we're left with 5/6,000 S/T holders in a 22,000 seater stadium

it wasn't long ago that we were getting about 9,000 to an old-firm game ... the atmosphere would be absolutely dire in a larger stadium!!!!!!!

**ZemmamasBarnet** · 18-12-06, 14:33

No need to redevelop east stand, except to get the pillars moved and the roof suported via other means.

Saying that - it's all part of the experience, especially before / during & after pumping rangers and hertz....the "you're no unbeatable" derby ranking as my best derby atmosphere yet (missed 6-2 game, was laid up in plaster
