[edit] Important

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)

[edit] "Easter Egg"

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)

[edit] Capacity of Easter Road?

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)
