Despite this development work, a move to a shared stadium in Straiton was again proposed in 2003.
Hibs hoped that selling the Easter Road site would allow them to clear their debts and reduce costs.
Club director Rod Petrie commented that any decision would be based on financial grounds and after consultation with the fanbase, as the club were not being forced to move.
Farmer expressed support for further redeveloping Easter Road, if it could be part of a viable business plan.
During the consultation, Farmer said that his main priority was ensuring the club's survival and denied that any deal had been concluded.
The consultation found that the fans were largely opposed to the Straiton proposal, which the club eventually abandoned.
To remove part of the debt, the club sold some land to the east of the stadium that had previously been used for car parking.
Selling players, including Steven Whittaker, Scott Brown, Kevin Thomson and Steven Fletcher, also funded these debts and further work.
