I lived in chch for over a year 9 years ago. Played a season of football for ferrymead bays and met a load of English guys through that but no fans of hibs or even any other scottish teams.
I did however work with a maouri guy who when I told him I was a hibby from edinburgh started laughing and told me that for years him and his mates all played for a 5 aside team named the Hibees. When it started there was a guy from Edinburgh who insisted on naming the side and made sure that they wore green tops. Made me chuckle thinking of these massive guys wearing hibs tops. That's right bro, we're the hibees :greengrin

Sorry I know thats of absolutely no use to you whatsoever but have a great time there I loved it though I suspect it's quite different now since the quake.

I know a Jambo who's been there a number of years now. Sorry that doesn't really answer your question though.

Been there many times with work, a fantastic place and lovely people , reminds me of the UK in the 1950s

My girlfriend's uncle is a Hibee and lives in Christchurch.

His brother is a Hearts fan but apparently had nothing to do with him emigrating!

My cousin and her husband are Hibbies and are Christchurch born and bred. My uncle was originally from Leith.
