Leith Links Party (Hibs Style)

[hfc rd]

Simply amazing! Everything from the parade to the chanting & bouncing on the hill followed by a conga and more singing & bouncing, the busker singing various Hibs & proclaimers songs with his guitar beside the old leith academy high, seeing everyone dancing around with happiness. It has just been the best moment in my lifetime supporting this club. Winning the cup yesterday was the best day ever and today's parade and party at the links has put the icing on the cake on a pure magical weekend!

Leith links was a riot, hibees as far as the eye could see. The hill was hilarious I'm sure videos will surface later.

The malonga conga was truly awesome

Petrie and co have some questions to answer. We were in Duncan place opposite the families, bus got stopped down from us and stayed there players then went from open top bus to team coach leaving thousands disappointed and so angry. Petrie had the bloody cheek to wave as he went past on the coach.
How something never kicked off I don't know. Told by police Scotland this was Hibs idea, the club seriously have to answer to the fans left seeing nothing.

Heard that it was on orders of the police that it stopped there.

Youve managed to post a negative comment about the club on a thread about an open top bus parade to celebrate hibs winning the scottish cup. Incredible.

Police reckon there was around 10k there, when the players and families went away the mound was bouncing, brilliant to see with the wee drummer giving it laldy, the wife filmed it, I'll post it when she uploads to FB.

Spoke to the police they say it was the club, the guy in charge of Hibs security went passed but wouldn't answer any questions. So disappointed on what should've been a fantastic day.

[Hibby Bairn]

I actually thought it was pretty poor.

Loads of overly bevvied folk in amongst young families. Sound "system" was useless and could only be heard if you were within 20m or so of the bus.

Should have been a carnival atmosphere but I left feeling a bit let down.

The streets before Leith Links were fine. The gathering at the Links was not.

Oh and a wee thing for me. I HATE seeing sporting "role models" for young kids bevvying publicly. Cummings singing and dancing half pissed with a can of lager whilst young children watch just shouldn't be happening imo.

Given the length of time the bus was at the Links, which must have been half an hour..... and given that there were coaches parked there...... didn't anyone think that that was the final stop?

It's real and it did happen, the open top bus stopped right beside the coaches to take the players away and if you were on the Leith Primary side you couldn't see the players on top, all they had to do was drive 10 more yards and it would've be no problem.

I know. Kids seeing people happy, dancing and singing is nothing other than an absolute disgrace. Cummings should be utterly ashamed of himself.

well I thought it was fantastic, kids having fun in the park, adults having a bevie, the sun was shining, had a singsong and Hibs won the Scottish cup!

The players are allowed a drink as well, they are off duty for a few weeks. They've bloody earned it!

Get real there was plenty of chances to see the parade.Not taken long for Petrie to be blamed.

Yes it's a real post, stood down there for 3 hours getting told by g4s the bus was coming right along, family opposite us, what would you think!

[Northernhibee]

This has to be Oxley's fault in one way or another

I think on this occasion we'll allow him to enjoy the day like everyone else, he's earned it

Sometimes I think some Hibs supporters could start an argument in an empty room with a gag on.

Sorry you find it negative but imagine how my family felt after being there all that time thinking we're going to see something that not a lot of people supporting this club have ever seen and you don't see it

I know, I was there. And I didn't have a perfect view of everything either. Can't believe the whole Hibs team didn't get off the bus and come and seek me out personally to shake my hand and thank me for coming. Petrie really needs to hang his head in shame over this one.

If Oxley came off his line this wouldn't have happened.

I asked a steward when I got there and he told me where the bus would be stopping which is exactly where it did stop. Think whoever you asked got it wrong.
