    Scottish Youth Cup Finals Involving Hibs

    I looked them up on wiki and it turns out I've been to all the finals we've appeared in. Have to say, I don't remember much of the 0-0 v Dundee Utd apart from the penalty shoot out. The 2-0 defeat at Tannadice saw more Hibs fans in the ground than Utd. Good 2000 there with many getting in late due to the lack of turnstiles open. The 2-0 victory v Ayr Utd was a record final crowd if I recall correctly. Around 7000? Thoroughly enjoyed beating The Rangers at Hampden although it's scary that it was 9 years ago. Here's hoping for the double a week on Thursday

    I was at the Ayr semi, doon there in Ayr! my mate's nephew played in a great young side for Ayr. (cant remember who they beat) but the final was against us at ER. My Hibs supporting mate somehow wanted Ayr to win, in support of his nephew but soon changed ideas when we took centre stage and won. we also had a supporter's bus through to Hampden to see oor laddies beating that govan mob. superb.

    I think I was at the Ayr one as well, was it Colin McDonald and Kevin Harper that scored for us?

    I was at the two legged affair with Celtic, early 80’s. Seem to recall a few scuffles in the Celtic main stand.

    What was the crowd at Hampden in 2009, admittedly there would be a quite a few Rangers fans
    Any idea how many Hibees went?

    Thanks. Wonder how many we’ll take next week, 2,000 or so on a Thursday night would be great
