absolutely devastated I'm not able to go, that day in 2007 is up there with the best days of my life. 2am kick off in the pub with the Melbourne Supporters Club it is, come on the HIBEES!

Your situation is spookily smiilar to my own - that day in 1991 was up there with the best days of my life; aged 23 I found myself with the Melbourne Supporters Club watching a 3am one-hour-time-delayed showing, generously sponsored by Sir Tom, of the Hibees in the League Cup Final after having been to see South Melbourne v Marconi earlier in the evening.

That was in 2004 though - let's not go there

Haha, I think Ross Co, have got to also be thinking that the final isn't as hard as it could have been, they already put out Celtc and we are on a horrible run of form, they will fancy their chances probably more than we do.

I shouldn't look at recent results as they were pumped 3-0 at home by hertz and the Arabs. It's who plays on the day. We have the squad to win it and hopefully the break between the caley game and the final will have the likes of McGinn,Henderson and Cummings back to their best.

Aye right enough ..... slaughtered Falkirk 7 ( seven ) 0 ...... won their own derby away from home 2 - 1 .... and beat Celtic 3 - 1 in their semi final.

All we need to do is turn up

Aw come on, I'm trying to find reasons to be positive, don't spoil it for me

Pathetic, and we're the Championship team.

(Only saying what everyone else is thinking, I'm aware our team was honking, but the structure of football in Scotland needs to sort itself out. How the **** is Ross County even sustainable?)

And this one relegation/promotion is completely self preservation, that needs to be addressed, as does league sizes.

Anyway back to the thread, great effort by all the Hibees.

RC are sustainable because they have an owner with long arms and short pockets, but who also runs his club professionally .... they draw support from all over the north and the fact that their crowds stand up well to the admittedly pathetic turn outs in far bigger towns like Kilmarnock, Perth and Inverness is to be applauded.

Its a great place for an away trip too with the ground being so close to the town centre, which has no shortage of boozers for such a wee place

The RC support on the 13th will probably be bigger than the whole population of Dingwall ..... we are in a 2 club city of 500,000 people, so the day we take 250,000 fans to a game will be the day we can look down our noses at the likes of Ross County.

I agree totally about the leagues though .... way past time for a revamp.

This is County's first everl league cup final against a lower league team. They will draw support from all over the Highlands and Inverness. Hibs compete with the Old Firm, Hearts and rugby for support. Is it not a fair comparison to divide the size of a town or city by the number of clubs. If County get 8000-10000 well done to them but Hibs are looking 30000, so to me that a great effort too.

An international is a different story. I know many Hibs fans who are big rugby fans as well and they get tickets for the annual six nations fixtures ages in advance.

For football to schedule a showpiece final clashing with these fixtures is just sheer stupidity and cutting off a revenue stream unnecessarily imo.

Personally if the International rugby was playing in my garden I wouldn't open the blinds but I know many who think differently.

For Rugby to schedule an International match which clashes with a showpiece final is madness. It's probably Oxley's fault.

My post was slightly tongue in cheek mate, I'm well aware that circumstances for clubs in the central belt are entirely different from the highlands. But to suggest that a club bringing a support with them larger than the population of the town they come from is anything other than a great effort is laughable.

To go further and suggest they shouldn't be breathing the same air as us is beneath us as a club or a support ..... it stinks of Yam type 'wee team' arrogance and isnt something I want to hear from any Hibs fan.

Strange analysis considering there has never been, or ever will be 250,000 people at a match.
