Why would anyone (other than those with a severe drink problem) want to be on the bevy at 9 a.m.? The thought of it gives me the boak.

It's for the "older generation" of Hibs fans according to the article.

Yeah! No rabble. Especially at those prices

“We are not talking about football casuals here – this is an older generation of Hibs fans who will be having breakfast and a drink, if they wish."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the folks still identifying themselves as 'football casuals' be among that older generation of Hibs fans? The younger fans are all about the ultras these days...

Speak for yourself. Everyone is different. You may have people finishing Night shift who want to go for a drink - which is akin to someone finishing a 9 - 5 shift.
Doesn't mean people have a severe drink problem.

I used to quite enjoy a pint at 7.30 when I had been on night shift.

Still enjoy the odd pint in the morning now if I have a couple of days off to myself. Not so many really early openers these days and even the 9am openers are fewer and further between than they used to be. The Scotsman's Lounge was my haunt in the night shift days but that changed from 6am to 9am and is now an 11am opener.

What is it with inadequates and alcohol that they cannot watch our team sober...

Colin Calderwood, Terry Butcher, Pat Fenlon - need I go on.

Cannae beat an early pint, get in before the riff-raff are out, quick read of the paper, few jars then have the rest of the day with a wee glow about you

Bar in the Airport available for the early risers. I've seen it going great guns at 7 in the morning.

I used to quite often have a dram when i got home after the nightshift. Quite enjoyed it while watching folk queue at the bus stop in the freezing cold. Only nightshift workers will understand haha.

Penny Black is long gone Billy, along with Hilda the manageress, who you may recall?

Aye!

It was an oasis in a veritable desert of closed boozers and strict licensing hours in my younger days and walking distance from my flat in Brunswick Street ( London Road end )

You knew her then?

Lovely person she was too, her daughter sometimes worked there also.

**HFC93** · 25-03-2019 04:43 PM

9am pint before an early kick off at Tynie. Nothing wrong with that.

Hilarious having to leave for 1/2 an hour (7'ish?) because you couldn't have a 24 hour licence.
On topic, I drank in the Windsor for years, pretty sure this won't be an offer for the young un's.

Thank God or I would never be able to go on a plane.

True enough. I couldn't attempt a pint early morning. A coffee and large sparkling mineral water for me

***Bishop Hibee*** · 25-03-2019 06:43 PM

I’ve never liked The Windsor since me and a few mates were watching Sportscene there one Saturday evening back in the day. Highlights of the Dons pumping Hertz 1-4 at Tiny came on and we got threatened with being kicked out for laughing, fairly uproariously to be fair, at a close up of a maroon scarf on the pitch. I’ve never been back since.

Totally agree. I guess there's a market for it though.

Of course there is! as already stated above. Nightshift workers etc. Why do people feel they need to belittle/slag/run down others because they dont fit their sanitised version of living?

Central Bar was always,a good starting point for an early when branch buses to Aberdeen inexplicably left at 9am. Smashed by Forfar though. Or Laurencekirk. Or Stonehaven. Never seemed to go in a straight line!

**macca70** · 25-03-2019 10:22 PM

Seems very specific that they want a 9am license for Hibs away games.

Assuming they have had interest for this, wouldn’t imagine there will be much take up unless they run a bus from there?

Correct, I’m permanent nights and sometimes have a drink in he morning when I finish. The amount of comments I’ve had from people saying imagine drinking at this time of the morning... Well it’s no different to you finishing at 5pm and going for a pint is it?

***Stuart93*** · 25-03-2019 10:30 PM

I wonder what or who they’ll deem “rabble” or “football casuals”? Anyone who looks quite young?
