Crowd for Hibs?

Looking at the empty seats on the plan we need to start selling in the home stands quickly. A figure of 2000 has been mentioned on the Hibs site.
 
knowing Hibs affiliation with the green half of Glasgow I hope they've not been reading recent reports about us and try winding some people up.

I can see Hibs travelling down in good numbers. Scotland are well into their Summer holidays so I'd say there will be plenty of them who are ready for a night away on the Gold Coast away from their screaming brats.

Hibs have zero affiliation with the ‘green half of Glasgow’, in fact they pretty much hate them (maybe not as much as the other ugly twin)

Yes they share a common history but having lived in Scotland and been to Celtic v Hibs games I can assure there is no love in whatsoever, particularly from Hibs towards Celtic.
Hibs are a fair bit older than Celtic and were formed by the Irish community living in Edinburgh for the Irish community and then some time later the Irish community in Glasgow followed suit and formed Celtic FC ( as did the Irish in Dundee forming Dundee Hibs now Dundee United), however, relations between the two clubs were never cordial from the outset. Over time the Hibs support diversified and came to draw its support not just from the Irish but from the dockers in Leith and drew its support from Leith and the East of the city on a more geographical basis rather than sectarain.
I think the big difference between the supporters are that Hibs fans seem to regard themselves as a Scottish club with a history of being founded by Irish immigrants, which is acknowledged in their name & colours, whereas a lot of Celtic fans regard the club as an Irish club playing in the Scottish league but represent Ireland, Celtic have a massive fan base all over Ireland.
Ask the Hibs fans when they come down, I’m sure they will be happy to explain their history and their relationship with the Old Firm clubs.
 
Just because Morecambe charged 16/12 doesn't make it right. Especially when at the last min it was a Blackpool 11 rather than full team.

I'm not going, got a family do, but was probably going to leave it anyway - it should be a tenner plus quid a kid.

I'm paying £15 tomorrow on the train to pick my season ticket up. No trains on Saturday, so, due to the club not posting cards out, it will have cost me £35 extra to get my senior discount card.

My Hibs supporting relative has been spat at at Parkhead and called a "Snobby Fenian".

He is not a catholic but don't let that get in the way of the AVFTT Scottish sectarian myth.

90 minute bigots that's all, in the same way that I don't any Blackpool supporters who shoot nobbers in their spare time.

Catcher

Remember that according to AVFTT if you support Hibs, you also support Celtics and Hibs put 110% in against Rangers and don't try against Celtic and if you support Hearts, you also support Rangers and they put 110% against Celtic and lie down to Rangers.

I might not be quite as dismissive of a link between Hibs and the Catholic church - to be fair, you probably never said anything about that - but you clearly no more about what actually happens in Scottish football than the rest of this board put together.

There will be no mention of religion at the HIbs game unless the likes of the BST spokesman keeps issuing warnings.

Apologies to the BST spokesman but that's right.

Not posting cards out, why? Could you not just pick it up at the first home game you attend Wilf?

I can imagine the ticket office before the first game being crammed and would rather have the peace of mind that I have it in my wallet.

Plus it takes you 2 hours to get past all the Security to open your wallet so you couldn't possibly do it on a match day. plus too many people around you in danger of getting rust shrapnel. 😂

You could have arrived at 23:30 and taken advantage of the £3:50 Cruz Campo offer....this saving yourself £16....

I’d have picked it up for you and either posted it or pasted it on to you in person
