# Talk:Easter Road

Anyone care to volunteer a picture of the stadium with the new stand for the main photo?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.238.152.235 (talk) 18:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC) 

This article needs a major rewrite. Any takers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ExcelExcel (talk • contribs) 

I've had a stab at making it meet the Manual of Style.  We need a PD or GFDL photo to go in the stadium template.  What do we think?  Budgiekiller 11:46, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I have never heard or read Easter Road referred to as this. Is this a proper nickname? 212.113.23.124 12:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Methinks this may be another little joke from our Jambo cousins. ExcelExcel

I don't think I've ever heard or read a Jambo use that phrase either. "Fester Road" is a phrase more commonly used by them. 212.113.23.124 13:21, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

17,500 is the figure most commonly used in association with the capacity of Easter Road. I note that the figure on the Hibernian page has been changed to 16,877. Many Hibs fans have questioned on message boards (eg [1]) why the attendance has rarely been above 16,500 in recent times when there have been several sellouts. What is the correct capacity? 82.41.202.199 23:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The attendance for the Hibs vs Rangers game at the end of the 2004-05 season (when Hibs qualified for Europe and Rangers won the title) was 17,450[2], so the capasity has to be at least that. Agflepsr10 22:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

File:Easter Road old.jpg nees a fair use rationale for this article. Also, what year is the image? If it is old enough, it may be in the public domain.
It needs a fair use rationale because it only dates from the 1950s. I have removed the image from the Hibs article and replaced the rationale with one for the Easter Road article. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 23:05, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I don't get the sentence "Both stands also have a cutaway section in the upper deck in order to keep within the boundaries of the site."
I have tried to rephrase this. What it basically means is that if you look a picture of either end stand (e.g. the picture in the infobox), neither of them are fully rectangular (which is quite unusual). This is because a fully rectangular stand at either end would have overhung land belonging to other parties, which would have caused planning problems. So instead the stands were designed with an upper deck that cuts in towards the centre. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 23:15, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
The bus map ref is dead.
Fixed. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 23:30, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I did a few copyedits, mostly MOS issues.
Pretty much a good article. Fix the minor issues above, and I'll pass the article. Arsenikk (talk) 22:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations with a good article Arsenikk (talk) 23:20, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I made a change on 27 October 2013 to include a more accurate time about the time taken to walk from Waverly to the stadium, and without any comments, the change was undid.
Anyone who's done the walk knows that it is definitely not approximately 20 minutes, and this was also backed up by a Google Maps citation including the time.
Any comments would be appreciated, cheers!

I'm not entirely happy with the prominence given to nicknames such as "the Holy Ground" or "Leith San Siro" in the article, both of which appear in the lead section and infobox. Although these are sourced, so clearly have been applied to Easter Road by someone at some point, these are poetic and jokey affectations respectively, rather than anything the ground would ever be referred to on an everyday basis (in the way Celtic Park is often referred to as Parkhead, for example). I'm not proposing to remove them from the article, but I think they belong further down the page and much less prominently. Jellyman (talk) 11:33, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
