yep. I would even be on the hun side when they come up against an RB team in Europe.

You're taking that too far!

I can't believe this gets asked every single month.

No. I would rather support Hearts than Red Bull Edinburgh.

Ban please.

your right, in reality that wouldnt happen. my principles on the matter would go out the window first sight of any of their fans, or Andy Halliday's face.

That sounds a much healthier attitude

I’d happily take their money if it meant some success at the club. They can call us whatever they want for all I care.

I suppose everyone’s entitled to an opinion but to my mind this is an utterly ludicrous position to take.

He seems to be the only one, so we're quite safe for now.

Can see it’s an unpopular opinion but there’s boys saying they’d rather support Hearts or Rangers than Hibs if we sold the naming rights to Red Bull and we’re forced to change colors. To me, that’s ludicrous.

But the point is it wouldn’t be Hibs anymore!

Would you be happy if Red Bull bought Hibs and pumped money into the club.

Hypothetical question, of course.

Aye

If your honest about a big company coming to Scotland to finance a team, I think they would only look at the Old Firm!
Biggest crowds and near guaranteed Europian football every year, total TV coverage on SKY and BT!
For their advertising it would be a no brainer, picking any other team in the league would not create the same results as quickly.
Not only do I not like the idea, but I think it is totally impractical!!!

That would cost far too much I think. Probably Edinburgh city would be the likeliest target. Maybe a Patrick thistle for the Glasgow market, particularly if they go down again.

All in, I can't imagine RB coming to Scotland anyway and I certainly wouldn't welcome anything more than a regular sponsorship deal. RB Edinburgh playing in red and blue at the Leith Bull arena wouldn't be for me, even if they filled in the corners.

Rangers would be abit more likely as they may see it as the chance to finally topple Celtic but I still don't think the majority of their fans would stand for it.


If the bull looked like a hand...

I'm 100% sure that The Rangers fans would be fully against RB coming in ant renaming them and their stadium and change their colours. It's the tradition that keeps them loyal. Also, not convinced that a brand such as RB would ever want to be associated with the loyal fans from the west.

Red Bull is from Austria, which is a largely Roman Catholic country.

I seriously doubt they'd want anything to do with Scotland's Shame

Abredeen would be the obvious choice for a Red Bull franchise in Scotland.

It's a one team city, it's a club with a European history, they already play in red, the name change to RB Aberdeen would be minor and they don't have any of the sectarian nonsense that the Ugly Sisters use as part of their marketing.

The Aberdeen fans would probably go for it as their only chance of a return to their glory days of the early 80s.

The nightmare scenario would be Red Bull Midlothian. That franchise would buy enough trophies that we'd never hear the end of it from the maroon supremacists.

They have the added bonus that their Mascot is already a Bull... Aberdeen Angus, to be precise.


Red Bull Aberdeen; playing at the all new Red Bull Arena, just off the Aberdeen bypass. Definitely could happen.

With all due respect tell Red Bull to GTF.

True. I was just trying to be a smart***e. Failed as usual.😁

With all due respect, they haven't approached Hibs anyway...and have possibly never even heard of us.

It would be the end of me going to games. Throwing away your identity and succuming to everything that's wrong with the modern game.

Steady on now!

Reading through the thread, I got around to wondering if Hearts would go for it. Something tells me they might....

I hope you're saying that in jest, but if not...

Hearts are a club who happen to be our rivals, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with their existence. Red Bull clubs on the other hand are a cancer on our sport. Following in their footsteps would be spitting in the face of everything that the wonderful people behind Hands Off Hibs fought against.

I think Red Bull have abandoned the buying established league sides approach, at least in Europe. Leipzig where some tiny 5th division team when they bought them, so, if for some unknown reason, Red Bull wanted into Scotland, they’d probably buy some random little team.

Edinburgh City, maybe?

Whatever it’s worth, I don’t think it’s any different to random billionaires buying clubs for alterior purposes. Hell at least RB’s cash is legit.
