Cup Parade Monday 27th May (If we actually do it this time)

[BS44]

As the title says it is Monday for the parade, hope to see you all there!

Sorry if this is old news, can't see it anywhere on the forum.

[Purehibee_MYB]

Ah gutted.. I'll miss it if we win, Off to Canada the morning after the final! Fingers crossed I'm getting no sleep before I go!!

[Mikey]

I know it's a holiday, but it's not a holiday that a lot of people will get. I thought they might have made it nearer 5pm tbh.

[CorrieHibs]

I was hoping it would be the Sunday night or even the following Saturday. I start a new job on the 27th May. Least I have a ticket for the final but defo not drinking. Will be very hard if we do the unthinkable though!!

[adhibs]

We can expect a poor turn out then with it being early

[hibs4thecup1988]

That's ridiculous.

Kids are at school so will miss it. And a lot of people will be working as well if they didn't request it off.

Should have been 6pm leave, get to ER about 7:00 and party from there.

I don't want to moan I really really don't, but its a shame kids will miss out

[edinburghhibee]

Got week off so wasn't an issue for me, like others have said bit **** that folk could miss this due to work commitments

[BS44]

I know it's a holiday, but it's not a holiday that a lot of people will get. I thought they might have made it nearer 5pm tbh.

Now you mention it that time may well be the driver's sign on time, can you remove the start time until I get more details tomorrow? I got the info from a colleague.

I suspect it's a council and police decision. And you know what that means...............

[Mikey]

Will do.

[Spike Mandela]

Why not have it the following Saturday? A week to party then a brilliant day oot at the weekend. This smacks of Edinburgh Polis to be honest.

[hibs4thecup1988]

So...after my moan it may not be merited...I with hold it until further information becomes available. :greengrin:

Players will have holidays and I'm sure that's the weekend Scotland play

[whiskyhibby]

That's a pity, I fly off to Milan at 07:00 on the Monday morning.......

[Westie1875]

Hopefully start time will be later so that those at work or school have a chance of seeing it..... If we do it of course!

[ruthven_raiders]

I was hoping it would be the Sunday night or even the following Saturday. I start a new job on the 27th May. Least I have a ticket for the final but defo not drinking. Will be very hard if we do the unthinkable though!!

It's not a school holiday, it is a week earlier. So will have to take my son out of school and he will get an unauthorised absence, so a lot of kids will be missing school ;o)

[S4uzee]

Is this official, if so where about?

[offshorehibby]

If they have it on the Monday then i would imagine it would be early evening say about sixish. Down side about that is i'll have been in Tamsons all day celebrating still.

[zlatan]

I'm back on the backshift on Monday so the earlier the better says I.

[HibeeMG]

If we win it I'll be lying pished in a gutter somewhere in Leith. I hope they have the sense to put the temporary railings around me. :drunk:

[Pedantic_Hibee]

If we win I'm not even sure where I'll be in all fairness, i just know I'll lose my mind.

8/11 odds I'll be shacked up in a casino in Basildon offering sexual favours to midgets in return for digestive biscuits whilst wearing a thong, a leather jacket and a daffodil up each nostril and singing Michael Bolton songs.

[GreenCastle]

IF.....MASSIVE IF...we ever win this stupid thing...I can imagine fans partying Sunday after the game in Leith and through till Monday...basically an unofficial street party :agree: If it does happen Edinburgh will have never seen anything like it :greengrin

[Hibby70]

If we win I'm not even sure where I'll be in all fairness, i just know I'll lose my mind.

8/11 odds I'll be shacked up in a casino in Basildon offering sexual favours to midgets in return for digestive biscuits whilst wearing a thong, a leather jacket and a daffodil up each nostril and singing Michael Bolton songs.
But what you going to do if we win?

[DH1875]

I'm very confused. Where does it say the time of the parade? If it's 5/6 o'clock why will the kids have to stay off school? Did Man U not have a parade yesterday? Seemed to work well to me and it wasn't even a holiday :confused:.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

But what you going to do if we win?

:greengrin

I don't even want to contemplate that.....the only certainty is that my wage slip, underneath "basic pay", will contain the words "unauthorised unpaid leave". NAP.

Tom, Dick and Harry....Barry!!

It was mistakenly announced as a 12 o'clock parade time is still to be announced

[Sas_The_Hibby]

I'll just pencil it in for now, rather than use ink...... :wink:

[CraigHibee]

I know it's a holiday, but it's not a holiday that a lot of people will get. I thought they might have made it nearer 5pm tbh.

i took the monday off work as a precaution :wink: either way, i'll be getting a tad reekin after the game :agree:

[Hibby70]

Well that's one of my paternity days used up!

[21.05.2016]

i took the monday off work as a precaution :wink: either way, i'll be getting a tad reekin after the game :agree:

I've taken monday off work aswell, win or loose I don't think ill be fit to go into work monday morning lol!

[lyonhibs]

Flight back to Zurich on the Tuesday.

Deeeeelighted. Though, god knows we have to turn up on the day and win the bloody thing.

[Up The Bracket]

Exam leave and no exams the week after the final so I'll be there whenever it is.


If we win

[frazeHFC]

Need to leave Edinburgh at 5.30am on the Monday morning. :rolleyes:

[chrisski33]

Bringing the potential cup parade up has just jinxed us!

[Robinho08]

That's a joke!!!! Should be the following Saturday IMO!

[hibs0666]

If we win I'm not even sure where I'll be in all fairness, i just know I'll lose my mind.

8/11 odds I'll be shacked up in a casino in Basildon offering sexual favours to midgets in return for digestive biscuits whilst wearing a thong, a leather jacket and a daffodil up each nostril and singing Michael Bolton songs.

You've been planning this a while I see.

[duffers]

That's a joke!!!! Should be the following Saturday IMO!

Hibs have been put in quite a naff situ I would say.
There isn't a way they can do it that will make everyone happy.
Scottish cup final should be played on a Saturday at 3!
However, It doesn't bother me to much when it is. I'm off all week!!

[Onion]

I know it's a holiday, but it's not a holiday that a lot of people will get. I thought they might have made it nearer 5pm tbh.

It would be a one-in-a-hundred-year event so the EDC should declare an Edinburgh holiday, but they'll all be hiding in their council chambers wanting the ground to open up and working on their master plan to save the Yams.

[hfcpaul]

Are the schools not closed on the Monday , my work is closed for bank holiday . Not sure if its an Edinburgh holiday or not

[hibee_girl]

Are the schools not closed on the Monday , my work is closed for bank holiday . Not sure if its an Edinburgh holiday or not

No, the schools aren't closed. They get the 20th off as that's an Edinburgh holiday.

[lyonhibs]

That's a joke!!!! Should be the following Saturday IMO!

We have waited 111 years to win the Scottish Cup, and you think it's a belting idea to - if we do finally break the hoodoo on May 26th - have people wait a full week before the parade??

With the game being on the Sunday, I don't see what else Hibs could have done. Thousands of fans will be travelling from all over the shop for the game, and don't have a spare week after the final to twiddle their thumbs before the parade.

[Onion]

Need to leave Edinburgh at 5.30am on the Monday morning. :rolleyes:

Coach and horses could not drag me away from a Hibs Scottish Cup parade. It will be just as emotional (maybe more so) as seeing them lift the Cup. Can you imagine the bus winding its way through the streets of Leith to the Holy Ground ???

[.Sean.]

I'm not working atm but there's a strong possibility i'll be offered a job due to start that day.


If they can't let me start on the Tuesday they can ram it :greengrin

[Col2]

Where is the confirmation of this? If its not 5pm do we know when? Thanks

[ruthven_raiders]

Bringing the potential cup parade up has just jinxed us!

Just jinxed us we've been jinxed in this competition for 111yrs, I'm gonna step on every crack and go under every ladder as I'm sick of superstitious crap I've tried all that and it had never worked lmao

[Lang Toun Hibs]

Just jinxed us we've been jinxed in this competition for 111yrs, I'm gonna step on every crack and go under every ladder as I'm sick of superstitious crap I've tried all that and it had never worked lmao

Agreed! We can do it no matter what colour pants I wear!

[Hibee Ryan]

I've got an exam on the Monday

[Manxhibs]

Ah gutted.. I'll miss it if we win, Off to Canada the morning after the final! Fingers crossed I'm getting no sleep before I go!!

Weird, I'm doing exactly the same! Where are you flying from/to?

[spike220]

Bringing the potential cup parade up has just jinxed us!

Shortly to be followed by pictures of the tour bus - Realtiy check people I will be really really suprised if we win it and I think any talk of a parade is pie in the sky!!

I think if we were to win win the official parade would be the last thing on my mind, I think most people will just be so overwhelmed they will party wherever they are.

[NOLA]

is there a reason why they cant do it sunday night? 8pm

[Danderhall Hibs]

Where is the confirmation of this? If its not 5pm do we know when? Thanks

Final confirmation on Sunday 26/5 at approx 450pm (or maybe even 530).

[hibs4thecup1988]

is there a reason why they cant do it sunday night? 8pm

Erm the players and fans won't have left hampden till about then after all collapsing? Lol
I agree to an extent. But then with school and work by the time it was to finish you would be looking about 10:30 onwards.

I'd imagine the OP workrs for a bus company and saw the person who is drivng the bus starting at 12 and putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. I think it will be 6pm start from city chambers going onto ER for c. 7:00 for the biggest party EVER

Point taken, I suppose the fact is it should have been played on the Sat

Just want as many fans there as possible.

[hibs4thecup1988]

As for work...mines has been told if we win that they won't see me for god knows how long...:greengrin

[Col2]

Final confirmation on Sunday 26/5 at approx 450pm (or maybe even 530).

Very good! You know what I meant. If we win what time does it start?

[weecounty hibby]

I am off work on the monday as a precaution. IF we win none of the kids will be at school on monday, we will all be in Edinburgh for the parade

[Alfred E Newman]

I know it's a holiday, but it's not a holiday that a lot of people will get. I thought they might have made it nearer 5pm tbh.

What holiday would that be?

[The Harp]

Coach and horses could not drag me away from a Hibs Scottish Cup parade. It will be just as emotional (maybe more so) as seeing them lift the Cup. Can you imagine the bus winding its way through the streets of Leith to the Holy Ground ???

A coach and horses were involved the last time we won it.:wink:

[andy1875]

I get the Friday/Monday of as public holidays. Couldn't have been on a better weekend.

No idea what the holiday is for but I couldn't care less!

My 6 year old might have a sudden bout of the flu that Monday lunchtime. If we did win the cup, I'd want her to witness a bit of history. After all she has been at the Hibs kids games this season. Only fair I'd say, sure the schools could give special leave :greengrin

[johnrebus]

Jesus ****ing Christ.

We have not won the thing since since 19 oh ****ing two. Last year we endured the worst result in our whole ****ing history, and yet now we are talking about minute details of ****ing victory parades!

Are you lot for real?

For ****s sake, just shut up and wait and see what happens!

[NOLA]

As for work...mines has been told if we win that they won't see me for god knows how long...:greengrin

When France won the world cup I dropped off the radar for 10 days :)

[Hermit Crab]

Need to leave Edinburgh at 5.30am on the Monday morning. :rolleyes:

Ha. No chance.

[hibs4thecup1988]

I don't know if 10 days will be long enough...:greengrin

[JOD]

A coach and horses were involved the last time we won it.:wink:

4 in hand if I remember right:not worth

[TrickyNicky]

Damn it , too soon for me - I would require one of these to make it on time from Oz!

Hiyah Rod, hiyah pal

[HibbySpurs]

I am off work on the monday as a precaution. IF we win none of the kids will be at school on monday, we will all be in Edinburgh for the parade

This:agree:.... No dangwer will my two be at school on the monday if we win...... I'll be calling an offical family Hibs holiday.....
:flag:

[Northern Hibby]

Any guess as to what time, got to book travel back on Monday?

[CallumLaidlaw]

7pm on the Monday

http://m.local.stv.tv/edinburgh/magazine/225826-scottish-cup-victory-parade-route-map-if-hibs-can-beat-celtic-on-may-26/

[Sir David Gray]

As things stand I'm scheduled to be working on the 26th and 27th May.

Tried getting a holiday for the 26th for the past few months and still heard nothing and I've also tried getting a shift swap for the 27th, again to no avail.

I might miss the game and, if things go to plan, the parade as well.


















:faf:

If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

[Curly1875]

Got an exam on Monday :grr: will be gutted to miss the parade if it's Monday afternoon

[Onion]

Glad it's at night, but it sounds like they are waaayyy underestimating the size of the crowd. IMHO you could get 200-250000 lining the streets, many of whom will have been drinking all day and probably from the previous night. This is much bigger than anything the Yams have done and is historic.

How do I get a ticket for the ground :greengrin

[Onion]

Starts 7pm :thumbsup: Anyone who misses that parade is completely MAD and would regret it for the rest of their days. It will be the street parade to cap them all. :partyhibb

I could see it being even bigger than that to be honest.

This wouldn't just be a cup parade, it would be an historic event. I could actually see hundreds of journalists from abroad coming over to cover this, should we do the unthinkable on the 26th. :pray:

[Spender]

cant get over his statement saying "the hibs fans wont be fussed if the parade does not go down Leith waik" I just hate the way he speaks as if he is our appointed spokesperson, rather than just his personal opinion.

I have more to say given the issues of the route, safety etc , but must get off to the match

[Hibercelona]

If safety is an issue, then we'll just have to take the Gorgie route.

[HibeeN]

Wasn't it scheduled to go down Leith Walk if we'd won it last year, and fans wanted it to go down Easter Road instead? Seems it's scheduled to go down Easter Road this year, so why would anyone be bothered?

[Hero76]

The reason its not going down Leith and along Duke street is safety as everyone would be running along the adjoining streets on the walk to Easter road causing a potential bottle neck.

[Frazerbob]

The reason its not going down Leith and along Duke street is safety as everyone would be running along the adjoining streets on the walk to Easter road causing a potential bottle neck.

It wasn't a problem in 1991. The Foot of the Walk was brilliant that night. Thousands gathered at the Kirkgate.

[lyonhibs]

Eh? More than 250,000 people lining the streets?? I think not.

Scottish football is a tiny fish in a big pond. The parade would be massive and incredible, were it to happen, but we'd be doing well to get north of 150,000, much less 250,000 out on the streets.

[Westie1875]

Was there problems in 2007 with this, I don't recall any and I'm sure it went that route then?

[I'm_cabbaged]

Was there problems in 2007 with this, I don't recall any and I'm sure it went that route then?

Was the problem not that the bus struggled to turn left onto Albion Road?

[Hero76]

Was the problem not that the bus struggled to turn left onto Albion Road?

Correct

I also remember getting squashed up against the metal railings at Albion road just outside the corner shop the barrier could not contain us and it turned into a free for all. I also remember people kicking in doors to get inside the stadium.

We're talking here about one of the biggest losing streaks in world sport.

I don't think there are many sports teams in the universe who will have spent the majority of their history at the top level of their national structure and yet who have failed to win one of the main national trophies for over 100 years.

If we win next Sunday, we'll have people who don't even like football coming out to see this parade.

I couldn't really care less how many turn up if I'm being quite honest but I wouldn't be surprised if that many were there to see it.

[Mister P]

Hopefully not tempting fate here!!

What's the official arrangements for Sunday night and Monday evening?

[.Sean.]

Started a new job the other week and really not liking it. They've also said there's no danger i'm allowed Monday off, i've to be in up in Dundee for 7am. Under no circumstaces am I to turn up drunk or hungover on Monday morning.


They've been telt to shove it! :agree:

Jack it. Lifes too short.

[Waxy]

The weathergirl says it's meant to be peeing down all day monday with gale force winds.
If we win it i hope we could have a mini parade and be able to welcome the players back on the Sunday night.
Emotions will be sky high.
