    Hibees what's your feeling of season.

    In the cold light of Day we are now back in the Premier league and can look forward to a positive season. Yes we had a disappointing result yesterday and in my opinion felt we were unlucky to lose after a shaky first half hour. We more than matched the Dons and I felt we were the better team.
    I felt Neil Lennon was right to highlight individual errors and the point that some players were hiding.
    Especially that first 30 minutes we were not in the game. On a positive note once he made the changes and Grant Holt scored I could only see us winning. We certainly did not deserve the bad luck of a deflected goal to lose the game. Spoke to a couple of Aberdeen fans who felt we were the better team and they were lucky to win. The positives are we are back in the Premier League we put up a good defence of the trophy and we will definitely attract better players. Lennon is a winner and so can Hibs be. We have the Best Fans in the world in my opinion. We are Hibernian.

    Glad we've won the league and been promoted, job done, so I'm happy enough with this season. Not been enjoyable to watch other than a handful of games and only winning around 50% of our games in this league is very poor.

    A lot of work to be done if we want to finish in the top 4 next season, as lets not kid ourselves on, if we look like a team capable of having a good season we'll have the same problem as this season where the whole bottom six come to Easter Road and shut up shop from kick off. If we don't learn how to break them down, which we haven't this season, then we'll be mid table.

    Job done, objective met, rebuild a bit again and trusting Lennon to do it. Retained a good interest in the cup, nice earner from it and we continued to be unbeaten by Edinburghs second, less well off team.

    The future's green and white.

    Job done. It's not been pretty but promotion was the aim and it has been achieved.

    Pumping the Hearts in the cup was an excellent bonus too.

    A league title , pumping of the jambos and another trip to hampden goes down as a success in my book , unbeaten against houstons hammer throwers with 3 wins was pleasing . Some of the games have been brutal to watch im just relieved to be out of this **** league .

    Satisfied rather than delighted.

    We got promoted, had a creditable defence of our cup and beat Hearts. Against that we've struggled against defensive teams and played uninspired football.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Just happy that we finally got over the line !!
    Good defence of our cup, thought we where very unlucky yesterday and I honestly think that next season we won't have team's parking the bus which should suit us fine.

    Thank God the HIBS are back 😀 GGTTH

    A fantastic result in Europe, took the cup back to Hampden, and won the league.

    Plus the bonus of the best Hibs song in years being born. Ram yer 1902 :)

    Absolutely delighted. Last year I said I'd rather have the cup over promotion if it was a straight choice this year the league and though we could have done both we did very well with a not too shabby defense of the cup and a nice pay cheque to come for the pooled semis.

    Job done and very happy indeed with an exciting pre-season of new signings to come and giving the jambottlers more misery next season.

    I feel positive for the coming season back in the top flight. I think we can hold our own and am pretty sure we'll strengthen the squad. The past couple of seasons we've held our own against top flight opposition in the cups so all in all am upbeat.

    Pride has been well and truly restored.

    Ironically it's been the most successful period in our history since relegation - as posted before, the fans and club deserve enormous credit considering where we were post Hamilton play-off game.

    I've certainly fallen back in love with Hibs again

    Even if we`d won every league match this season it wouldn`t have been as exciting a season as last year when we were close to a cup double and promotion . So in the end relief that we`ve got promotion and hoping to see a few signings in the summer to let us go for top 4 and compete in cups .

    The same could have happened last year. We could have gone up and lost the cup.
    This is how we'd have felt.

    Winning the league, another trip to hampden beating hearts on the way and a good performance against a decent European side at the start of the season. It's been good, bring on next year.

    I think we have our club back. However disappointing yesterday was it shows a real connection between club/team and fans. Glad to be out of this league and we put up a strong defence of the cup. Onwards and upwards

    Nobody is going to deny it was a trudge rather than anything else, but who cares ...... all that mattered was going back up, not to have done so would have been nothing short of disastrous, I don't think it can be stressed enough what a negative effect failure would have had on the whole future of the club ...... we did what we simply HAD to do.

    We made a proud defence of the cup taking it all the way back to Hampden and 'yet again' pumping the Yams in the process ... shocking 30 minutes aside we showed a great spirit yesterday and took the clearly 2nd best team in the country all the way. On that note, the BBC commentator yesterday described our 'Persevered' tour around schools etc as 'milking it' ........ what would have been wrong with perhaps pointing out that Hibs have done what other clubs didn't have the foresight to do, perhaps if ICT had tried that they would have 5,000 fans in the ground on a Saturday instead of under 4,000.

    This has been a great season .... painful to watch at times for sure as we struggled to break down packed defences making for games that were hardly high on entertainment and certainly one that many folk would have had a problem looking to repeat as a viewing experience next season .... but we went up ..... so its been a great season.

    Ultimately a feeling of relief but followed closely by a lot of optimism. Relieved to finally be out of this league. Optimistic about the rise in season tickets and attendances and overall potential of our club going forward.

    A few highs and good performances, towards the end of the league campaign a bit of a trudge, decent cup defence and plenty of room for improvement. Based on what I have seen I am optimistic about next season and feel that the rebuilding job of my club is on course now.

    this season has been uninspiring, but ultimately a success. there have been enough high points - the cup run, trip to hampden, pumping hearts at ER, beating united under the floodlights - for me to have felt i very much got my moneys worth from my season ticket. at times we have obviously been sick of playing against teams that park the bus and kick us off the park, and i think there has been a degree of malaise because of this, which is undesirable, but we got the job done.

    most importantly, i believe the building blocks are in place for a very, very good season next year. the squad we have is good enough to compete with any team in scotland bar celtic, though on our day i think we could easily match them, especially when hanlon is fit. they will thrive in a league where they can actually play football and really prove themselves. a few astute additions to the squad and the premier league is, potentially, our oyster, IMO.

    anything less than 5th would be an absolute failure, but i could see us coming second, and giving celtic more of a scare than aberdeen, rangers and hearts have managed. it's a great time to be a hibee

    Job done on the pitch, the club continues to move in the right direction both on and off the pitch. There's an upwards and onwards feeling, a good vibe about the club. Positive Hibs fans, whatever next?

    I would suggest that beating Sevco to the Championship title and losing to Dundee Utd in the semi finals of the Scottish Cup last season would feel a bit different to winning the league this season and losing to Aberdeen the way that we did in the semis on Saturday.
