I'd like to see the same size of sign , if not, a replica attached to the gorgie road stand ,it would look really something " 🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibby residents Something painted on the gates of the gorgie could be a nice touch, not sure how that would hold up to the weather but i'm sure there's means to protect it. Poster above already done the photoshopping! Something that includes the sign but not the main feature would be nice.

The Gorgie Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Were we not suppose to get a massive tynecastle park sign on the new main stand and ended up with it being rather small? Anyway having never got the chance to see that old sign in person, some kind of tribute to it would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueyview Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Does bring back memories.... The main stand with its sign, sits off the main thoroughfare, unlike many clubs. So a revitalised Gorgie road sign would be a positive move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorgieFifeLife Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Voted no. Think instead of harking back to the past we should instead do things to modernise the matchday experience. The younger football fans of today and tomorrow look for a lot more from matchday than just what is on the park. Spend money on this rather than a sign.

Neon Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 7 hours ago, Mr Sifter said: Fabricate new steel supports onto the existing fencing/gates already there. Attach sign to new supports. Job done 👍🏼 TY MR Sifter, exactly this. Earlier today I was thinking the gate into the Gorgie is a similar shape so could host it - but the elevation wouldn't be right and it would be prone to vandalism on a weekly basis. On the side of the stand would look tacky and out of place but just beyond the gate and raised it would look tremendous. Bring it back!
