That's my Sunday sorted.
A wee trip down for the open day and a round of golf afterwards.
Perfect

Just a wee reminder that this is on this afternoon. This a good opportunity to see behind the scenes and some of the treasures that the Historical Trust look after.

If memory serves me right I'm sure in previous years there has been volunteers from the historical trust about to help direct, explain things etc at each of the points on the tour. Originally Posted by HibbyAndy

I think the idea of it being self guided is so it isn't too regimented and folk can enjoy the bits that interest them at their own pace.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

There was no one really to approach to thank at the culmination of the tour, so I'll pass on my thanks on here to all who made this happen, and my family enjoyed the open day very much indeed. The Hands off Hibs memorabilia was of interest to myself, and Jordon Forster was on hand at the dugouts and pitch side to meet the fans.
Only criticism would be of Jordon's hipsteresque rolled up trousers and boating shoe ensemble.

Just back. Very enjoyable and informative to see behind the scenes. In-laws who aren't really football fans found the whole thing fascinating. Very laid-back and I liked that there was no attempt to fleece the fans at every turn. Recommended if you've not done it yet.

My thanks to the Hibernian Historical folk and club for a great day. I would happily have paid money for this tour. It was well done and on a par with other stadium tours I have done in Europe. Made me wonder if there is a market for tourist type tours? Extra revenue and way to build up supporter base?

I had a fantastic day with my family at Easter Road today. Well played Hibs.
The kids met Sunshine and surprising Jordan Forster who was fantastic in signing items and posing for photos.
More importantly, I signed up to HSL today and bought the new top. Doors open for free and I'm £100 lighter!

Has Jordan Forster had a hair transplant?!

Really enjoyed the tour.
The hands off hibs stuff was enough to put a wee lump in my throat. A terrible time but the hibee family rallied together and saved the club. For that we will all forever be in their debts.
I love this club

They had a Frank Graham Group top without a sponsor on it in the league cup final section, but had the actual top we wore in the 91 cup final in a different section but it had Frank Graham Group printed on it. Originally Posted by Tom Hart RIP

I loved going down to the stadium today. Got myself the new top and a few other bits and pieces from the shop. For me there seems to be a feeling of excitement around atm. Despite not getting promoted last season, their seems to be a general feeling of optimism and belief that the club is finally going in the right direction.
The Hands of Hibs campaign is something I am too young to remember but listening to my old mans stories from that time just make me so proud to be a hibee. Despite many heartaches over the years we have a fan base that adore this club and will rally around to protect it.
What a difference a year can make, this time last year was one of the lowest i've ever felt in my whole time watching hibs. Now i'm really looking forward to the new season.

I had a really good day and thought it was great you could just wonder around on a self guided tour. Was good to see people sitting in dugout or in the boardroom talking about stories from the past.
The only thing I did notice was that there are areas within the stadium which need a wee spruce up. The home changing room being the main one I thought was a bit grubby looking.
Overall an excellent day tho and something I hope hibs continue and if anything get more involved in
