Confirmed on Hibernian Historical Trust website as at that time HIBS were only renting their ground
There was Dundee HIBS and look what happened to them
We also have our impersonators in the WestLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 18-01-2019 at 06:48 AM.

I'm sure that I read this in one of the Hibs books. It was rumoured that Hibs were planning to move to Aberdeen and 2 or 3 smaller teams in Aberdeen merged to create Aberdeen FC and prevent this happening.

There was also a Glasgow Hibernian and a Kilmarnock Hibernian (don't know if this is the same Killie of today or a different club altogether)

Hibs inspired hundreds of clubs in Scotland to take up the game. Some with Hibs in the title (eg Maryhill Hibs) and others not. Lots of clubs with the last name Emerald or Emmet were formed. Some were feeder clubs to Hibs, again others were not. However the emergence of seltic (sic) chamged all that.

Hibs actively encouraged other emergent clubs in various areas with immigrant* Irish populations.
Celtc, on the other hand, actively set about closing down any competition for a supporter base, including subsidising buses to Glasgow for supporters from those areas, and also opposed Hibs' promotion to the First Division.
Never mind, though, because they're a 'club unlike any other, with charitable roots'
* If you want to argue about the word immigrant, start your own thread :)
