Hibernian Football Club is a Scottish professional football club based in Leith, in the north of Edinburgh. This article describes the park in Edinburgh For the place in Florida see The Meadows Florida. Old Town (aka Olde Towne is the typical designation of a historic or original core of a City or Town. Hibs first moved to the Easter Road area in 1880, which was on the outskirts of Edinburgh at the time, to a ground known as Hibernian Park. Easter Road is a main road in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Edinburgh ( ˈɛdɪnb(ərə Dùn Èideann) is the Capital of Scotland and is its second largest city after Glasgow. Hibs first leased the present site in 1892, played their first match there in 1893 and have played their home games there ever since[5].
After Sir Tom Farmer took control of Hibernian in 1991[6], the stadium underwent major redevelopment in order to comply with the Taylor Report. Sir is an Honorific used as a title (see Knight) and in several other modern contexts Sir Thomas Farmer, KB, KCSG (b 10 July 1940, Leith, Edinburgh) is a British Entrepreneur The Taylor Report is a document whose development was overseen by Lord Taylor of Gosforth, concerning the aftermath and causes of the Hillsborough disaster in Stands behind each goal (the Famous Five Stand and the South Stand) were built in 1995, replacing covered terracing at the north end (known as the Cowshed[7]) and open terracing at the south end (known as the Dunbar End). Dunbar is a town in East Lothian on the southeast coast of Scotland, approximately 30 miles east of Edinburgh and 28 miles from the English Border
The West Stand was rebuilt in 2001[8] to replace the ageing main stand. The West Stand has a capacity of 6,500 and is similar in design to the North and South Stands. The stadium has dining and conferencing facilities within the West and Famous Five Stands[9]. The Behind the Goals bar in the Famous Five Stand is one of the largest match-day bars in the United Kingdom[10].

A scoreboard is a large board for publicly displaying the score in a game or match
Future
The East Stand was a large terrace which has been greatly reduced, roofed and made all seated. Views of the pitch from this stand are somewhat restricted by the supporting pillars. The club does have planning permission to replace this stand with a modern facility similar to the other three stands, but weak finances and low attendances meant that the planning permission has not been acted upon until recently. See Development Control for an overall explanation of how control under the Town and Country Planning legislation is operated in the United Kingdom The club's finances and attendances have improved in the last four seasons, however, which has led to speculation that the planning permission to develop the east side of the ground would be used.
