Who are they?

They’ve even got strips like what we do!

Are they related, in some way, to the Hibernian family?

I asked pretty much the same thing a few weeks back: http://www.hibs.net/message/showpost.php?p=2231663&postcount=1 .

It's our way into the English league. When you consider how the spl is holding us back it is worth thinking about.

How the hell did I miss that :rolleyes:

It’s a heck of a coincidence that we should come across the same thing within a few days of each other. :dizzy:

Has anyone ever seen us in the same room at the same time? :cool2:

Did we find out/Contact them to see if they do have anything to do with us?

They were surely started by an exciled Hibby. They play in pretty much the same strips and are called the same thing.

We should offer them a pre-season game next year !

Rod Petrie should be made aware of them if he isn't already. If they run 30 teams and are the biggest club in that part of the Midlands we should be looking to a tie up arrangement. A sort of feeder club!

The keeper, the right back and the target man obviously.

Ignore us, Suzie, an in-joke (not at your expense, regarding our rivals) which would take too long to explain.

Glory to the (Leamington) Hibees.

Email from the club:


Hi Paul
Thanks for the email, not been with the club long enough to know the ins and outs but know a man that undoubtedly does who I can ask. Like Hibernian FC, the 'Hibernian' connection is an Irish one, the founder family originating from Cork with connections to Cork Hibernian FC, 1971 League of Ireland Champions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_Hibernians_F.C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_Hibernians_F.C).
Leamington Hibernian started up around the time Cork Hibernian folded.
Our Club is currently the biggest in the area, significantly larger in depth than surrounding clubs with grounds and facilities. Generation thing I guess but no kid is gonna play for Leamington FC or racing Club Warwick when their dads and grandads played for Hibs. Anyway will continue to ply our trade amongst the multi scented doggy drops on our council pitches until the council takes notice of who we are.
Kit colours are more a reflection of what the kit manufacturers have in their current season ranges, main directive being green and white tops, white shorts and gold socks. Historically the teams have played in green shorts/socks and green hoops in the early days. Original badge attached.
Love the thread, would appreciate a call if Easter Road ever goes on the market :-) . I suppose a charity match against a Hibs vets or supporters XI would be out of the question?
regards
Stuart
