Hibs fan mentality v Hearts fan mentality

[Hedlund12]

I was talking to one of the dads at my sons footie this morning.

The nice big Englishman is a good friend of Steve Marsella.

He was telling me that when SM was looking for somewhere to live he found a nice place to rent in Stockbridge. He decided he was going to take it. The owners asked him what he did for a living and when he told them they refused to rent the place to him stating "sorry but we are Hearts fans!"

A couple of weeks later SM found a house he liked in a town on the coast in East Lothian. He agreed to take it. The owners asked him what he did for a living and when he told them they were delighted Hibees who rented it to him at significantly less than they were looking for!!

Sounds doubtful tbh.

Each to there own but I have no reason to doubt the story. The dad and SM are friends from Huddersfield... I didn't know SM was from Huddersfield until I spoke to the dad today.

A lot of Hibs players stay in stockbridge

Shirley your tale suggests that the Hibs fans and Hearts fans have exactly the same mentality - namely, that fitba affiliation overrides economic considerations.

Tbh that's more of a The Rangers mentality, with their "irrespective of how much we can afford, we ra peepul have come to expect to pay a certain standard of wages to our players, stay in five star hotels, blablabla"

Oh come on, there are far worse that get 5 or 6 pages of replies/discussion. Respect your opinion ofc, but the chap has a nice story that involves SM, and a lot of peeps still wan't gossip on the new management team :wink:

I can assure you that East Lothian folks, especially Hibernian supporters belonging to the professional classes, are absolutely the salt of the earth.

East Lothian folks ken what's what, like. :not worth
