Does anyone remember the night before the CIS cup final on easter road? The pubs were full of excited Hibs fans from all over the globe, meeting up for a huge pre match piss up. It was a fantastic night, singing and dancing into the wee small hours, i'd expect the same thing to happen again?

Who's coming? :flag:

We done a mini pub crawl that night (Albion Bar, Four In Hand then Tamsons) and I'd imagine we'll be doing exactly the same routine this time round. Was good to get out the house the night before and settle the nerves with a few beers and some hibby chat.

Sounds like a plan, although I wouldn't want to be too rough the next day - want to watch us pump the ****bos on a clear head!:aok:

Great night that was... but unfortunately I and some others will be in Hampden on the friday setting up another display. But will be back to E.R. if we win.

I wont be drinking (much) the night before. Want to be on top form... Save that for the day itself.

You can do both, go on you know it makes sense. :wink: I do have to say, the night before the last cup final was one of the best nights iv'e had as a Hibby. :top marks

It was a great night. :aok:

I didn't roll back to our hotel until 10 minutes before we were due to leave for Hampden! I was bloody knackered for the celebrations but they were worth it!

Helping the in-laws (yams) move house that day. There might be a few "accidental" henry smiths with some crockery.

Billy from the bounce arranged a few tours of the stadium that day, which i took part in, then to the albion with a few from the group for a beer or 6.

Would be an opportunity again for Hibs to show the out of towners and their families the ground and history of Hibs.

If I remember rightly (and that cannot be guaranteed!) it was just down from the Bank Hotel/Radisson on the Royal Mile.

I seem to remember losing you's on the way out and ended up in some bird's flat.

Thank God you or Moray brought along a hip flask to ER for the celebrations otherwise I'd have collapsed!

I'm not sure if i imagined this, but it was like a dungeon inside, with many rooms some with live acoustic stuff going on? Then again, not sure if i dreamt this but i think i got a rickshaw back to whatever hotel i was staying that night? :confused:

Great night. :greengrin Seem to remember that bird you went home with, strange she had a huge adams apple, didnt seem to bother you though. :wink:

:shocked::lips seal

I was wondering why the Hampden seats were unusually uncomfortable the next day!

You didn't imagine the club being dungeon-like though, that's how I remember it.

Another laugh I remember was getting back to the hotel the next day and the young English lad that I'd given a lift up the road and was supposed to be sharing a room with, was fretting about where I'd been. I'd only just got divorced at the time and didn't need another load of grief!

It is a bit of a blur, but dungeon like is the best i can describe it, and bloody hot too. Good night though down easter road first, then a club a rickshaw :confused: and home. If carlsberg did nights out, that would be up there with the best nights. :top marks

Sounds like it may have been either the Hive or Banshee Labyrinth as they are total dives. Banshee if there was loads of rooms and went over a few floors, the Hive if it smelled almost as bad as *********** and went over one level.

If you're all going out again this time Gary, give me a shout. It'd be good to see the Lancashire Hibs lads again.

Jeezo, I've got about as much recollection of it as BH. I just seem to remember queuing for a taxi afterwards on the Royal Mile and I hadn't walked very far so assume it must've been close to there. I think I spent about £100 that night which will give you an insight into my state of mind! :drunk:

No idea mate, never been before or since? :greengrin Dont remember a bad smell, but i was with MG. :wink:

MG we are talking about everyone coming up on the friday, i think its fair to say it will happen. :wink: We will finalise details nearer the time. :thumbsup:

Hibs and Hearts fans going out the night before as the game will probably end our friendships for a couple of weeks.

Didn't we drag Moray around with us at the time. He's not known for his staying power so bad smells were probably his fault! :ill:

This.

I will be in Swannys with various members of my family (all Hibbys). Jambos will not be spoken to. Will need a bellyfull to sleep that night.

The Four in Hand are holding a pre-game ex-pats party on the Friday night. This is not only a party for anyone who has changed their name from Pat, but for any Hibees who have returned from anywhere around the world for the game, locals will also be welcomed. There may also be a few Hibs legends there, they will be playing in a charity match that evening.

According to the other thread, kick-off is at 7pm so the party won't be much before 9 I would think....but I don't know where the game is being held (relative to the pub).

No I don't :grr:

Because some great soft romantic gave his wife a surprise long weekend trip in Madrid for her Christmas....only realising his error the day before he was going to organise final tickets.....

So while you lot were partying the Friday night away...I was having a romatic dinner....and on the Saturday when you were sheltering from snow...I was sweltering outside the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu...trying to get tickets for the evening game...which I didn't manage either....then I got a pub with 3 sat feeds and settled down to wait for game...only for the eejit who had promised it would be no problem to then insist on the Liverpool irrelevent match (dislike Liverpool even more after that)....so I was reduced to a bus tour with Jambo mate giving me text updates of the score.....(anyone else I would never have beleived.....)



In fact I am now remembering that some people offered to book and pay for another weekend away for Me and Mrs DTS if we ever got to another cup final if that was the effect....:rolleyes:

I have been quite calm, sleeping very well since we got through against the Dons. Yet last night i hardly slept a wink, all night i tried and tried to get off to sleep, but nothing.

Setting off at 11.30, so should be in Leith by half 2. Will probably sleep tonight, helped by numerous bottles of Magners and Crabbies, topped up with a few Brandies. See you all later. :thumbsup:
