Just wanted to talk about this one. Pretty sure I won't be the only one who's been thinking about this, but a short while after THAT glorious day I began thinking about what it will be like when we next faced Rangers.
Well, we now know when that'll be. The way the media painted us Hibs fans after May 2016 was nothing short of a disgrace and very much fueled Rangers hatred toward us. 'attacked the staff' 'attacked the players' 'goaded Rangers fans' the headlines some days were absolutely incredible! I know for a fact (because I know a few Rangers fans who are 'friends' that have been thinking this way) that they have had revenge set in their hearts right from 4.50pm on 21/5/16. On the pitch and sadly off it too.
The media have then turned their hurt up a good few notches by painting the majority of our fans as wild thugs.
This game won't be for the faint heart. As a father, there is no way in hell I'd even be contemplating taking my daughter to this game. I'd urge caution to anyone who is attending this particular one to be safe and smart. For those of us that have been through at Ibrox we know what those animals are like and how the police love to turn a blind eye to it.
It has the added ingredient of being their 1st home game and our 1st away game, which generally adds an edge to fans for these occasions anyway.
What's everyone's thoughts here? Surely I'm no alone in thinking this way?
........I can only imagine as well what they'll be like after we do our usual 0-3 over them!

I'll try and get a ticket but under no circumstances will I be wearing colours (as fine as they are ;)
Flak jacket and face mask maybe

Away tickets issued only as part of an official transfer is my guess. Already happens in England and they will be wanting an excuse to do so here.

Some folk need to get a grip .. yes the atmosphere will be hostile , but im sure if 8k Celtic fans can be policed for old firm games , then it wont be too difficult policing 900 Hibs fans..

That being said, it leaves no excuses for the authorities not to have a proper presence in this game and make sure everything is under control. It's no doubt going to draw out a few of the nutters in our support...which sadly might not be a bad thing in this particular game? Not advocating violence there..

Getting to the game and after would have me more concerned than the game itself.
But **** it bring them on

The media will hype it up in the same way they do with OF games and then act outraged when there is bother. Neil Lennon being in the dug out just adds fuel to the fire.
My girlfriend is due a baby 9 days after the game so I think I'll be giving it a miss rather than risk getting on the wrong end of some brain dead bigots fist or huckled by an over zealous policeman on edge.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

A section of our support will be buzzing for this no doubt.
A ground where we get spat on, piss thrown over us, coins thrown or anything they can get there hands on for that matter.
And now we've got the added element of NL as our gaffer and the aftermath of 21/05/2016.
A boycott would be fun but it'll never happen. I won't be there though. No thank you

I can't wait for this one.
A nice wee chant to sing to the Orks fans
"When the Hibs went up to lift the Scottish Cup you were there"

I'm back from Wellington NZ, and I'll be able to catch this game, what's the chances of getting a ticket..? Usually only a 1000 or so?
Kicking it in Wellington .

This will be a highly charged game and the atmosphere will be pure poison. If we were to win this I think they'd crack and actually try kill us.

It doesn't even matter if we win this one although i want to.... what does matter is that we rub their noses in 21-5-16 for the entire match

Bring on the exuberance!!PERSEVERE

Haven't been anywhere near the place since the 70's and won't be starting now.
The thought of giving them money gives me the dry boak.

I'll happily take a little more of this after Ambrose bullets in a header and commences the back-flips...
