Mac80 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 https://postimg.org/image/yon0z368n/ Received this from a friend, the first of many I am led to believe along with the usual shirts in concrete, been told there's far worse and picks be released once the stand is completed.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 You can see how much we wound them up by putting the shirt under the east stand. It was a bit of a laugh, but they are now determined to do it a hundred times more. They are broken. I was going to add "well Hibs apparently" so I'm glad you pointed it out. I imagine there will be hundreds of pounds worth of Hibs memorabilia buried underneath our new stand. Wait until we just laugh it off.

Random thing to do: listing all Hibs Scottish Cup wins of the past 114 years... Perhaps the person's pen ran out of ink after listing their most recent win... wait a minute! Just realised, the pen's ink wasn't the problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Order Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Same way they did the others some piling work I would have thought or do you mean the lifting of the concrete sections of seats ? I was told there's no piling for the front section, just trenches to be dug for the foundations. Apparently, only the bottom section of 10 rows will be concrete sections like the other stands. The upper section of 27 rows is going to be a new composite material from South Korea. Can't remember for the life of me what it's called, I'm sure Thomaso will know.

PhoenixHearts Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Since we cant get the corners filled in.. what about.. What about something like this inbetween the Gorgie and the Main stand> Seen my fair share of runs smacked into that pool. Not sure we've got the wheather for it in Edinburgh however, but I'd welcome the novelty regardless. Just as long as we don't copy any other elements of Chase Field. Bloody Aircraft hangar.

Hackney Hearts Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Those new home changing rooms don't look up to much. TBF, that photo only shows a part of them. Having changed in there myself, it's a vast improvement on what we had before. Although as has been pointed out, the facilities in the new stand will be even better.

The stand will not be finished for the first home game, the changing rooms, hospitality and offices will not be complete, it will however be complete enough for the fans to use, or that's the plan at least.
