Easter Road Uni Project
As a Graphic Design student, I'm currently doing a 'mapping' project, where we are to design a map of a landscape that is special to us. Naturally I chose Easter Road!
My concept is based on the stubborn nature of football fans and their refusal to wear, or be associated with the colour of rival teams. I'm planning on creating a green print of the stadium rather than a blue print. It will be like a mock blueprint architectural drawing, except instead of marking out important structural aspects or whatever, it will mark out things that mean a lot to the fans and other funny (or serious) stuff. Eg. the pie stand, the exit frame that everyone taps on their way out of the East Stand, where the famous rugby ball landed vs Hearts, where the charity collectors are located so people can avoid them, the spot Chic Charnley scored from in the centre circle etc. Has anyone got rituals they do every Saturday at the ground or special parts of the stadium that means something to them? Any funny or well known characters in the stand? Any aspect that is unique to Easter Road, or famous incidents that have happened at the ground I should include? Any ideas are much appreciated. |

The spot where Franck Sauzee's teeth landed after he knocked four of them out scoring in our 3-1 win over the Yamfuds on 18 March 2000.

Very funny in as sick sort of way, also who threw it ie Celtc fans should be pointed out and where they threw it from which was the right corner of the Dunbar end (now the South Stand). The spot where Souness was sent off from (centre circle ish I think) for maiming 'Beastie' George McLuskey'. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. should be marked for posterity. I also used to like the Ricky Ragina old programme stand (being behind the east terracing on the left hand side nearest the FF stand I think). Hope this helps. Oh here's another one....... the mysterious old turnstyle that never had a number clicker on it. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater.

How about where past Hibs fans can have their ashes scattered behind the goal posts of the Famous Five Stand.

Re: Easter Road Uni Project
Two of the most violent acts at Easter Road happened on the west stand touchline.
About mid way from the halfway line to the away end was where Bobby Thomson knocked f**k out of a linesman. And about mid way from the halfway line to the home end was where Joe T crippled Strachan with one of the worst tackles I've ever seen and got himself a straight red in the opening minutes of Gordon Rae's testimonial against Man Utd. |
