Hibees in the away end?

***givescotlandfreedom*** · 06-01-2017 10:51 PM

So did anybody brave it and go in the away end to see the game? Plenty of examples where Hibees have had to sit in the home end at Tynecastle, Parkhead or wherever but there can't be many where you'd have to sit among the others at home to get in.

Two Dundee Utd fans a couple of rows behind me in West Lower.

But why?

**Nakedmanoncrack** · 06-01-2017 11:58 PM

Who knows??? Utterly bizarre, one had Dundee Utd hat and scarf on, because we won so easily they were merely humoured, very strange though.

plenty room at their own end. maybe someone offered them two free season tickets (same gender, wrong team)

How full did the away end seem ? We're there are any hibs fans in the away end celebrating the goals??

I saw them approach turnstiles & assumed they were half daft and had joined the wrong queue- was amazed to see they got in.

Yes! I haven't even thought of that.

Really poor, you'd think the stewards are more bothered about the right name matching a ticket and less bothered about possible argy bargy and possible physical violence

... and presumably they aren't the usual occupiers of those seats, so how come they weren't checked to make sure they were the ticket holders, especially with Utd colours?!

FFS were not the ORCS -surely fans can come in our end without fear of getting their heads kicked in.

I was at Wembley in the England end and I wasn't quiet -not for one minute did i even think about safety .

We live in peculiar times

I wouldn't have thought about assaulting them either, but given we had drunken Hibs fans threatening other Hibs fans just a few weeks ago, is it that far a stretch to see a potential situation developing, especially if they'd scored first and celebrated?

I have not lived in Scotland for 20 years -if that is where we are at -god help us.

As I said mate, I wouldn't have had a pop at them (maybe a bit of good natured verbals

), but given that the Dunbar end couldn't be used for home fans due to segregation issues, it does seem odd that Utd fans wearing colours got in among the home fans. And as pointed out, when Hibs fans are being turned away because they aren't the ticket holder (which I presume these weren't either), it's strange they got through the turnstile and past stewards.

I suppose the upshot is, Hibs got an excellent win, these 2 fans (hopefully) didn't get anything other than some banter, got home safe along with every other fan, no harm done.

A certain hibs legend who has both managed and played for us had his family sitting in the DU end whilst he was in hospitality.

The west is for your more refined fan. We get opposing fans in there every week.

Or John Collins. I saw him in the BTG prior to kick off.

***H18 SFR*** · 07-01-2017 08:35 AM

Six of my mates were meant to be heading to the United end. One got a Hibs ticket and two stayed in the pub. The other three made it in remained unnoticed.
