Page "Easter Road" Paragraph 12

Later in 1994, however, the Straiton proposals were abandoned and Easter Road underwent major redevelopment in 1995.

Stands behind each goal were built at a cost of £ 8 million, increasing the capacity to 16, 531.

The ground was made all seated by the installation of bucket seats in the East Terrace during 1995.

Views of the pitch from this stand were somewhat restricted by supporting pillars.

The Easter Road slope, which meant that the north end of the pitch was 1. 8 metres lower than the south, was removed at the end of the 1999 – 2000 season.

The West Stand was built in 2001 to replace the ageing main stand, increasing capacity to 17, 500.
