Who owns a Hibs flag then?

[RIP]

It may be gathering dust on top of a wardrobe
.......Or fu' o mothballs stuffed away in a rucksack
.......Never seen the light of day in yonks
.......Or been up the back of the East in recent weeks

So who - out there in Hibbieland - either individual or branch - is the proud owner of a Hibs or Hibs-related flag?

Oh and I know size isn't everything - but how long and wide is it?

[Jack]

5 by 3 foot Nigerian Sodjee flag!

[California-Hibs]

3 flags that are sown together ... Ireland-Hibs-Scotland

Ive got 9 flags sewn together. The typical sized flags (6' x 3'??)

Erin go Bragh
Tricolour
4 Hibs flags

when unfurled its pretty huge!

I had the same. Unfortunately my stitching isn't the best and it fell apart after a particularly rough outing at Tynecastle. Never got round to repairing it. It's currently ripped into 3 parts and gathering dust in a cupboard.

I've got this one (http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/4563/pic4yh.jpg) that I painted myself. Measures 10.5ft x 3.5ft.

Would love to see it in the East every game but its the transportation to and from the ground that is a pain in the erse (Very rarely go home after games and don't want to be lumping a banner around town with me every 2nd Saturday night). Be good if Hibs could allow flags/banners to be put up at the start of the season and collected at the end. I know thats what Man U do with the Stretford End...

could the club not help by providing somewhere to store these flags ??? that way people who find them difficult to transport could take them once and just leave them at the club after every game..... bound to be a spare cupboard somewhere in the stadium

Hibs12thMan has been in dialogue with the club and with the new East just being seats, loos and catering at the moment, the answer is there are no cupboards. However the club are still considering this request - there are other stands although this is less convenient than the East

But it's a catch 22. They don't see many flags so don't see the requirement. If we could prove there's dozens of flags out there and give them a mass airing before the end of the season, this would make the directors sit up and notice

The business case for flag storage would increase considerably

[Green_one]

I have a smallish one (life is cruel:greengrin) which I bought for the Scottish Cup Final 10 years ago. Obviously not had an airing since. I might adapt it by covering the SC bit.

Would generally like to see all sorts and sizes of flags out each week. They add colour and fun. (Did I just say fun at Easter Road? - Nurse!!!!!)

We are in the process of having a union flag made with lancashire hibs across it. It will look fantastic. :top marks

What size Gary, just out of interest? The sections at the back of the East can accomodate a 15 foot x 6 fairly easily. Anything longer or higher would have to hang above the TV stanchions

[Reaper]

Myself and hibsforeurope have a large Sauzee 'Le God' Flag. Green, with his face on the front. I forget the size. 10x5 I think. Due for an airing soon.

[RIP]

Anybody ken who owns the branch or district flags? I've seen a Liverppol One, A Clerrie One,etc

I'm sure there's others even if they're just used on supporters buses?

[WarringtonHibee]

There's BoltonHibee's flag too, which I'm currently in possession of, probably been seen around and it's been hung at the back of the new east this season.

http://www.lancashirehibs.co.uk/img/gallery/4919921.jpg

I'm looking into the idea of making some flags homemade, or printed in Poland as it seems cost effective, tall and thin flags to go on poles (if possible...:rolleyes:), much like you see in The Kop. :thumbsup:

[aberhibsfc]

I've an old one which has travelled on a parcel shelf or two on the way to Hampden.

It's in amongst all my old sports gear. I'll need to dig it out and have a look. Should be atop my graham group? adidas, mcbean, calor gas, carlsburg etc Hibs tops. I gave one or two away in my time. But I managed to hold onto quite a few time and I am so glad I did.

Anyone else got some golden oldies Hibs tops in their wardrobes?

Yeah my question was daft :greengrin Would be really smart with loads of flags. Even if laid on the seats at either side of the East/West?FF where the empty seats are.

i used to have a massive green white and purple banner around the time of the purple bukta t.v. strip.....it stank of supporters buses and it got lost/stolen during/after one of the scottish cup final games in the 79/80 season...i remember not being too bothered that it never made it back to the bus after the game as the purple kept being mistaken for maroon...admitedly it wasn't the most authentic purple in the world but its all john lewis had in stock at the time..

[WarringtonHibee]

Mark - Gary wis saying you might also have the Lancashire Hibs one as well?

I do, it's the one pictured on the floor, I've got just the LH flag.

I'm sure it's around 20x15ft, we've had it at the back of the new East, requires some climbing. :greengrin

Pretty common for clubs in the continent to allow the fans to have huge storage containers in the vacinity of the stadium, be good for Hibs to give the fans a cupboard or to have a few lockers installed.

Is that picture taken outside one of the boozers in Preston at the pre season friendly a couple of seasons ago ??

[pogo]

I still have one from the late 80's which I painted myself, had the old crest with the ball and crown, with hibernian written in the script text style used on the old programme.
I also did one which I lost track of for Edinburgh University Hibs Supporters Club. Had the Guinness harp, with EUHSC and Pure Genius, completely robbed from the ads!
Love to know what happened to it.
Also did a sign for the bus for the East Coast Supporters bus which left from Portobello. (Pub/club opposite the St. Andrews chipper, can't remember the name?)

Maybe you could ask about a container. If the club are worried about access to the stadium building, could they position a green container at the back of the East and we could keep the keys?

With the lancashirehibs flag being so big, karting it up and down is probably the one reason it does not get many appearances?

If there was a container we could leave it in at the east stand, we'd show it most weeks. I think there would be a lot more flags if there was somewhere to store them?

It surely would be low cost for the fans or club to supply a few lockers -similar to this

http://www.storage-solutions.com/images/C/lockers.jpg

If they want to make it a family home and encourage atmosphere and colour then this would be great for the East and add to the 12 Man / match experience.

I've always thought they should allow the flags should be allowed to stay in the East like the Stretford End at Man U

Guys - thanks very much for your contributions

We now have a list of 21 flag owners and a total of 24 LARGE flags - ten foot up to 20 foot long (not including the Hibs.Net and HibeesBounce monsters)

There are 18 sections at the back of the East Stand. If 3/4 of the flag holders brought their flag/banner to the same game and were allocated a section each - we would cover the entire 100 yards of the back of the East.

How awesome would that look?

[green&left]

If I could take it to one game and leave it up all season, i'd be delighted to knock something like this (http://img413.imageshack.us/i/bannermy.gif/) up for one of the sections.

Is there no chance they can be tied up at the very back of the stand and be kept there? I see absolutely no reason why not - I can't see any problems it would pose. Doing this would save the club buying lockers and save the flag owners unfurling their flag, tying it up and taking it down every time there is a home match.

It's nae problem hanging your flag Paul - there's usually 2 or 2 hung every game behind the Singing Section. The best place for a really big flag is on one of the concrete block sections but we will need to make sure Hibs are aware we will be using those sections as well. Can't see it being a problem.

What we do is throw our top corner ropes over the green pipe at the top of each section. Then it's a skoosh to tie back to the columns. Your top ropes have to be a minimum of 3 metres.

Are you a defo to bring it on the 26th?

We are still talking to our Club about this type of thing. Anyone want to sell a football card! :greengrin

Spoke with WarringtonHibs, he is now coming to the game on Saturday and will bring the flag up with him.

Cheers

Thanks Moray for the lend of the Lancashire Hibs flag :flag:

So far we have 15 large flags 10 feet up to 20 feet, a banner, the Hibs.Net flag and hopefully the Bounce flag as well.

We have a growing group of Hibs12thMan volunteers in the flag crew for Saturday but need assistance from the club with early entry. Waiting to hear back by mid-week

Watch this space :greengrin

To be fair, German clubs have been at this for 10-15 years now, whereas, we have just started. The German Ultras usually have 1 representative on the Board of the club. Can you imagine at this stage asking hibs to allow us pitchside, and to be able to put all the flags out pre-match? It will not Happen unless Hibs send a board member to places like Germany to see for themselves what can be achieved with a bit of co - operation with supporters groups. I know we get some support at this time from the club, However we need someone at Board level to be able to say yes to Basic ideas. The Balloon idea was the very basic idea we could possibly do under 40 quid, and the club were horrified. C'mon, It's at times like this that we should be giving the board guarantees that 1000 balloons won't be on the pitch with stewards and Hibs 12th Man members it can be avoided. Especially if we advertised it enough and everyone was asked to burst their balloon as the referee blows his whistle for Kick off. I still think that A meeting with Fife to give guarantees and it will look great. A good taster for things to come next season

It was a normal league game but I notice that Nuernberg seem to do this more regularly than most.

Ultras Frankfurt collect money at every home game to raise funds for the cost of these things and seem to be well received by other fans.

Ultras and official fan representatives - who liase with the club - are two different things as the relationship between the Ultras and the club can be seriously strained at times which is no surprise with Eintracht being fined regularly due to Ultras misbehaviour.

12th man have got the right idea though and are moving in the right direction.

I like the idea that, as supporters, we behave like our club. Hibernian FC build carefully, ensuring they lay down secure foundations. E.g. Clear Debt then Build Training then Build Stand

Recent supporter activity has also been a careful build:-

March 2010 - Paul McBeath (HFC_1875) and John Pryde (MisterP) start Singing Section Campaign
April 2010 - Club designate Singing Section (Sections 42-45)
June 2010 - Fans Forum, Hibs Club, Meeting at HFC - Hibs12thMan created
First 2 months - Awareness campaign and flyers, engagement and support from Hibs.Net and HibeesBounce (Thanks Mikey and Jamie :thumbsup:)
Aug 2010 - Hibs12thMan focus on Section 43 and encourage seat moves
Winter 2010 - expansion of singing, Facebook page, own website, forum activity, membership and liason with HSA/Hibs Club
Dec 2010 - Banner in East Stand
Jan 2010 - Surfing flags display
Feb 2010 - Green Day, Improved flag display at ICT


It took some other groups years to get to where they are but our representatives are working quietly and effectively, building relationships with club management, earning trust and gaining more commitment. These other ideas will come - it's not a sprint - it's a mid-distance race.

It's the Hibs way :agree:

He travels with Gary most of the time. They attend lodge meetings together and if Hibs are away they can both be seen waving their flags with the Blue Order at Ibrox:greengrin
