Motherwell Away Announcement

[Hibs12thMan]

With it being a 12:00 kick off and all that there are no arrangements for the Hibs 12th Man Singing Section to meet up before hand.

So all the singers who are going are asked to meet at the right of the stadium as you enter, nearest to Motherwell’s shed.


For future away games, particularly those played at a reasonable time on a reasonable day, the Hibs 12th Man Singing Section hopes to nominate a pub or club [where the Police don’t nominate one for us] where the Singing Section can meet and greet each other for a lemonade or two before the match. If Jack has anything to do with it you’ll be complimenting each other on a great vocal extravaganza at the previous match!

Your thoughts on which pub / club at each of the SPL grounds would be appreciated and also suggest an area the Singing Section should occupy at each ground.

In our regular announcements we would also like to include details of supporters buses that are running. If you run a bus, or know someone who does, please [ask them to] get in touch. The Hibs 12th Man will then advertise these buses and hopefully get them filled with new away supporters.

Timothy was finding it hard to convince his Mum that The 12th Man initiative was nothing to do with bovver boots or football casuals.

The Hibs12thMan initiative has been infiltrated by a mini-Yam? :greengrin

Great stuff mate i was wondering how this singing section was getting on. :thumbsup:

wee question though, I have not purchased a season ticket this year and cant make the first 2 games due to work commitments, is there pay at the gate space in the singing section at easter road or have season ticket holders took available space? cheers for the info if you have it

:notworthy:

[Hibs12thMan]

We believe the area around the Singing Section has a number of unallocated seats set aside for this very thing. There will be a gate, or a couple of gates, set aside for walk ups wanting to join the Singing Section.

We are also led to believe they will be clearly signposted.

Of course, for Rangers and other big matches, all this could present a problem in that Singing Section ‘walk ups’ who pre-order their tickets from the ticket office, i.e. all the Singing Section non season ticket holder wannabes, who get tickets could fill up the ‘reserved’ area before the match.


… and FR please be assured the Hibs 12th Man will be doing all it can to distance itself from bovver boots or football casuals.

It is dedicated to promoting a welcoming atmosphere at Easter Road for all Hibs supporters. After reading some of the posts on these forums this week we appreciate we may have our work cut out but we will make every effort to make this happen.

If you, or anyone else, would like to become part of the team of supporters who are working at how this can be achieved you will be made more than welcome.

Finally, should have said it earlier, have a great season everyone – its FANtastic to be a Hibee.

Glory! Glory!

Curses, it'll take more than a green tie for undercover Yams to fool the 12th Man.:grr:

I know, I'm just wistful for a different age that's all. Enjoy yourselves and I expect to hear lots of noise!

I hope there is a big turnout of LOUD singers for this on Sunday. (Tuneful singers may be to much to hope for.:greengrin)

Maybe if you meet them there HD then follow them in.


FWIW, sitting nearer the back of any stand increases the noise generated, so I'd go for the upper tier. Simple acoustics an all that.

That's great news!

The Griffin at Carlisle was going great guns for an hour before the match until a couple of "silly wee boys" started wi their "Edinburgh is Wonderful" racist pash. None had colours on so we can't even be sure they were Hibbies. My mate Al is a hardcore Jambo and says their away games are also infiltrated by this BNP muck.

Thing is - they think no-one will pull them up. Maybe this needs to change?

Really? I'd always thought that if you were to go lower down then with it being closer to the pitch etc then it would be louder for the players? Whererever the 12th Man go, let's give it laldy!!!!

The sounds don't travel as well across the stand if they're started down near the front, as those further back can't hear them.

I'd be surprised if the upper tier is opened on Sunday anyway?

shouldnt be tolerated IMO problem is no-one wants the confrontation caused by pulling these people up, just hope the rest of the 12th man supporters crank the volume to drown it out.

[Antifa Hibs]

Remember, variety is the name of the game. Got all the songs sung and not just Hail Hail about 8 times, in 10 mins :wink:

[RIP]

Gutted that I couldn't make it today

What was the singing like?

Did we manage to stand up or were we asked to sit down?
Did we sing when we went one down or did we lose our bottle?
How many different songs did we sing?
Any negatives such as dodgy songs or player abuse from the drama queens?


How is it looking for next week?

Didn`t sound any different from any other game - nothing during a disappointing first half, better atmosphere 2nd half when the team performed better.

12th man group or n 12th man group, it`s how the game pans out on the park which determines how good or bad the atmosphere is and whether or not the fans are in the mood for a chant or 2.

Atmosphere was pretty flat all round really, even the goal celebrations. A lot to do with a noon KO to be fair though.

I tried standing as long as possible, but the guy behind me insisted I sat down - Even after we had just scored the third.

Did we sing when we went one down or did we lose our bottle?
Bottle was most definately lost. Hibs fans very rarely sing when we're behind. They seem to get on the backs of the players instead.

How many different songs did we sing?
About the only three songs we ever seem to sing.

Any negatives such as dodgy songs or player abuse from the drama queens?
Fair bit of abuse dished out to the usual scapegoats. Stokes misplaces a pass and it's 'hard lines, Stokesy'. Nish misplaces a pass and it's 'get that useless **** tae **** Yogi, he's *****'.

How is it looking for next week?
Hope that clears it up!


Next week should be a cracker. Huns at hame and first game in the new East... I wouldnae expect anything less than a good atmosphere :agree:

[RIP]

Thanks Sean

We need a group of singers with more balls - that sing when we are losing, drawing or winning

Folk that know 20 songs off by heart

A few lead singers

Supporters - not spectators

Get the screaming jessies tae **** - they spoil our enjoyment

We have a top training centre, a top team - time we had a top support. The team will have it's ups and downs but at least we supporters will be there willing them on :thumbsup:

[Ed De Gramo]

In defence of the singers at Fir Park the other day (me being one)...

We stuck to the 3 or 4 we knew because there was nobody else joining in....(even when we were 3-1 up) :boo hoo::grr:

Think we've all been in a position where you go to start a song, and you find your the only one singing....thats why different songs weren't belted out (although Huckleberry tried his best :greengrin)

as Delia Smith once said: 'lets be 'aving you!' :thumbsup:

[LancashireHibby]

Keep plugging away and eventually more and more people will realise where to head for some atmosphere and it'll start spreading elsewhere.
