We're at home to Inverness on the 28th. Presume the clubs decided they'd rather have the bigger gap between games rather than playing the 26th and 28th.

Excellent! An unusual opportunity to make 2 games back to back for the first time in about 4 seasons

In fairness to the clubs they are probably thinking most fans want to be home and organised as early as possible on Christmas eve. If it was a 3pm kick off a few partners might be a bit unhappy about folk at the game not being home until half 7ish

In my experience, if we were to be losing 10 minutes into the second half then half of the Hibs support would be home long before that.

Do they think we're an NFL team? I've never before heard of a Scottish game on Christmas Eve. Will most likely try and attend though.

I realise that age will work against you but Hibs played Ayr United at ER on Xmas Eve around about 1976 /77......and the Huns on Xmas Day 70/71....

Excellent! I'm coming home on the 26th, hopefully be able to squeeze in this game.....if I can get a ticket. ;)

Reading about the KO change Dundee Utd V Hibs game this forthcoming Christmas Eve brought back memories of the match V Ayr Utd 24th Dec 1976.

It was a Friday evening with a 7.30pm ko. It was freezing cold and the crowd was around 1200 (IIR) Hibs won 1-0 due to an OG. The Coo Shed had been made all seated by then and we were allowed in there at terracing prices.

Looked out the match programme which cost 10p (should have been free as it had a picture of Ally Scott on the front cover). Some interesting reading includes.

The New Year Day game with Hearts at Tynie had been made all ticket after the Police insisted that the crowd should not exceed 30,000. Admission prices were Stand - £2.00 & £1.50, Enclosure - £1.00, Ground - 70p

In a ten team league Hibs were third bottom with only Ayr Utd and Kilmarnock below them.

Season Stats: P-14, W-1, D-9, L-4, F-13, A-17, Pts-11

A replica Jersey from the Club Shop cost £2.80. Scarves ranged from 80p - £2.00. 1977 Calendar 40p. Hibs comb 20p.

Those were the days.

It's crazy that the prices for the terracing were less than half of those for the stand.

That is just so 70s

I am looking forward to it, but if you are going to move it forward, why not 12pm, we are all used to those crap kick off times anyway. Seems a bit pointless moving it forward by an hour and a half.

For anyone interested the travelodge sale is due to close on Mon.

Seems a strange decision from the clubs - I'd have thought the crowds would be bigger on the 26th than they'd get on the 24th.
