Fantastic collection including Gordon Smiths medals and tops and piccies to mention but a few.

Well worth a visit as a great number Of other Hibees thought.
The support still out there absorbing all things Hibernian despite the recent event.

Thanks to all at the trust for organising and briniging the tour to life!

One comment (I know it wasn't the main thing as it was free and part of the Leith festival) but maybe just a few more opportunities to make a donation esp on the way out. I'll check out the website to see if I can make a donation online for a great cause

Enjoyed the tour very much and it was incredibly popular amongst fellow Hibees of all ages - the place was packed with various tour parties.

The guides were first class dealing with such large numbers and were enthusiastic, informing and entertaining.

Highlights for me were the Gordon Smith and Harry Swan collections - fantastic.

Went along and really enjoyed the tour. Good turnout too it looked like.

Some excellent items on show that the historical trust has obtained. Well done all involved.

Had a great afternoon on the tour, lots of people taking advantage of the chance to see behind the scenes of our club, very interesting and well run by the historical trust. Good work done by everyone involved.

the things we learnt today that we didn't know before...i'll go first cos its my game..



hibs turn up the temperature in the visiting changing room to make our opponents tired

tony mowbray used to leave jelly babies lying around in bowls on match days to give the players a sugar rush

yogi had a ghetto blaster playing crap music before matches

clubs bring their own water in case we poison them

lawrie reilly's boots had wooden studs

gordon hunter has tiny feet....

Just posted on about this on the PM board - went along today and enjoyed it - some of the guys were really knowledgeable - not exactly well organised but still enjoyed it.

As I said on the PM board - cannot believe the Hibs club shop wasn't open today. Missed opportunity and revenue.
