I have been following the new regime with great interest and have decided to buy a season ticket to show my support.
As Brooster stated, no pressure mate.

The Tranent coach who attended the meeting with George Craig commented that it's the most open he's seen hibs in 30 years. He previously got declined to spend time at EM and was welcomed in by Hearts which stuck in his throat so was delighted to see the progress with his own club as he put it.

Great to see Hibs engaging with local clubs and supporting the great work they do. Also as a Pencaitlander great to see Smally getting the backing, Junior football on the up again in East Lothain

I was told about another wild game against Bathgate/Broxburn or some other West Lothian team who brought an Orange Band with them and tried to parade around the ground before kick off....
..." Then came the cry that stopped it all "The Big T Boys are out!"" :-)

East Lothian Courier had court cases reported for months afterwards, a lot of it was great reading. A lot of people done for Police assault as well.
Regarding the Auchinleck Talbot games they were incredible, no doubt your Dad or Uncle Dougie or Uncle Twin would have been the ones who told you.
First game there was a few bus loads through and they made the fatal mistake of going to the Crosskeys before the game. Tranent won a great game of football 4-3 but it emerged afterwards that Tranent had played a protest. Unbelievably the SJFA made the teams replay the game the following Saturday again at Forresters, this time there was even more visiting fans but Tranent won 4-1.
Really big crowds at both games.

Tranent were worth winners with a 2-0 scoreline (Johnston & Ritchie, IIRC). Cracking 1st goal, BTW.
Don't think there was any crowd trouble just disappointed CR fans.
The Broxburn game was a cracker. I've never seen so much crowd trouble.
Tranent's just not that kind of place you know.

Did Tranent not play Auchinleck in the scottish during the 90s as well? IIRC I think there was at least 1,500 at Forresters that day. I was pretty young but still remember it being mobbed.
Would be good to see crowds like that back.

Have you guys ever thought about applying for a job at the Tranent Tourism Bureau? It may be worth adding that these incidents happened at least 30 years ago and that anyone wishing to go to the game next month will be made more than welcome haha.
