Semi-final display

[21.05.2016]

Ok so we are back at hampden once again and no doubt will take a big support through to Glasgow. I know 2 years ago when we were at hampden and the year before that as well we had sect 43 and they organised fantastic crowd displays. Any chance of getting something organised again? The one at the celtic cup final in particular was fantastic.

[Scouse Hibee]

No need for silly displays just turn up in numbers sing and support the team.

[lyonhibs]

No need for silly displays just turn up in numbers sing and supoort the team.

This. Choreographed card displays have had their day. 25,000 singing Hibbies is as magnificent a sight as there is in football

[GreenArmyyy!]

I am all for the displays, they look fantastic and definitely add to the occasion.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Agreed! Happy to chip in again.

[hibee_nation]

Save it for the final.

[GreenCastle]

Let's get 25,000 to this semi final - this team deserves it !

[Mikey]

The last time we had a display was at the final against Celtic and the TV cameras were only interested in showing what was going on in the Celtic end. Ours went almost unnoticed.

[21.05.2016]

As long as we take a big support, make plenty noise and get 100% behind the team from the off :flag:

We always create a brilliant atmostphere at hampden

[cabbageandribs1875]

well i think we should do something totally different for the Semi final display, let's all go bare-chested(inc the wummin) :everythin

[Centre Hawf]

Lets get 25 thousand Hibs Fans at Hampden. As many as we can get and produce a fantastic display to go with it. This team really is worth the price of admission and worth giving your support to.

That would be my intention but there are a few on here that only want the diehards at the game, No 'daytrippers' i'm sure they call us.

The Wimmin too ?? Might be a good idea!

If it's cold it will keep their knees warm 😳

Spot On.

Supported the displays when they happened but not sure I get them. Who are they for? The fans by obscuring thousands of them from seeing their team from taking the field in a semi or final? The atmospehere? How? In what way does it improve atmosphere? Or the TV? Again, why? We're not performing seals at their call when they fancy.

Juat get the fans at the game and create an atmosphere. Hopefully it will encourage a few to get along to ER for the crucial league games in the run in as well.

They are a visible show of unity & strength from the fans to the xi most important people in the club's history - the players! The players who could become immortalised by winning you know what...

The visual show of unity and strength didn't do much good in the last 2 finals.....

Ultimately if the players and manager are good enough we'll win regardless of what the fans do, if they're not we wont again regardless of the fans.

Just need to get a couple of tickets now.

Why not both? It's about 60 to 90 seconds out of the day to hold up a card or wave a flag. But for those 60-90 seconds it looks amazing and like folk say it shows unity and support to the players when they first come out. Some of our players have never come out to something like that and may never again.

[Cameron1875]

The last time we had a display was at the final against Celtic and the TV cameras were only interested in showing what was going on in the Celtic end. Ours went almost unnoticed.

We started that final very well and the players seemed really fired up. Not saying that was just cause of the display but it may have made a slight positive difference.

Then Celtic scored a spawny goal and that was it.

[Keith_M]

I prefer seeing as many people waving Flags as possible. I always think that looks good.

[FranckSuzy]

Whether you are for or against the ideas of organised displays, to call them "silly" is a wee bit OTT, in my opinion. I do actually like them but feel they've had their day, so to speak. I'd rather see the team running out and generate an atmosphere that way, rather than have my view obscured by a piece of card, etc.

Also, displays are only enjoyable for those watching at home... When you're actually there, supporting the team you don't see the impact.

Anyway, :top marks to everyone involved for their past efforts, which I have contributed to :agree:

[cabbageandribs1875]

flags over cards each and every time....cards are soooooo last years fashion

[The_Exile]

Maybe we should all twirl our scarfs instead? :greengrin

I'm not too fussy about the displays, although they did look fantastic on the tellybox when I watched the games back. If there's a bit of card on my seat I'll happily hold it up :agree:

[Glorious St Pat]

For those that have not been to see the revolution this season.,,.get your arse along!!!!

Are foam hands and green and white curly wigs allowed? Surely jesters hats are a given

[Glorious St Pat]

It my opinion, it's not going to happen....just get your arse along. Sing your heart out.

[Saturday Boy]

There must be some way we can combine loyalty points with the display? At the very least, it would help us 155+ fans see where the day trippers were sitting:wink:

[CapitalGreen]

Just get your arse along....forever and ever we'll flow the bhoys....

[Pete]

They only really work when the stands are totally full and they certainly won't be.

Been there, done that and we should just get along en masse and have a good old fashioned bounce. With a drum.

[Sweep]

How about green/white streamers for everyone. Like these Portland Timbers ones.

I'm more than aware Hibs were once referred to as the bhoys amongst other things.

Unsure when it was last in common usage though. Living in the past is what you enjoy though so bash on.

And I'm out for the night because we've been here several times before.

And I'm out for the night because we've been here several times before.awe fur the love o . several suggestions from Hibs fans, to try and illuminate our semi-final cup tie, and in some way assist our favourite team ,and encourage them to victory against their rivals is frowned apon as so last year, so silly, or downright nonsense. Anything that can give us a boost, (or the team) is fine by me. we all want to see Hibernian fans taking up every seat that is available to us, that's a given. lets hope we can get that side of things done, bring yer Ma, yer dug etc but don't take the piss out of people that want to brighten things up if they happen to wear a silly wig:rolleyes:

If we want colour on the terracing let's go old school!

A sea of green where everone wears club colours out of respect for the team performances this season. If you are not into replica shirts you can wear a green jacket, T-shirt, sweater or leisure top. Sunshine on Leith with scarves aloft will give us a huge wall of green and white.

Definitely! 2012 Scottish Cup final and TBGAWA Hibs scarves are a must too!

[Chuck Rhoades]

Nothing is being arranged for this one. Keeping anything for the final, should we get there.

Just up to everyone to dig out any old flags/scarves they have and bring them along with their vocal support.

[Andy74]

This for me too. I just cant understand why folk go to cup semis or finals and don't wear at least something in the clubs colours, even if its a T shirt or a scarf.

[southern hibby]

Some of our players have never come out to something like that and may never again.

Exactly why we should do this. Imagine the players getting told from Stubbs. Look at what the Hibs fans have done for you the players and it's only the Semi, imagine what they would do if you get to the final. I believe as fans we should be doing everything we can to help get our team to the final.
Or ( God forbid ) we don't get to the final Stubb's saying to the players let's win this play off for the fan's who turned up in their thousands to see you's play., at the Semi's.

So I'll start it off by pledging £50 if whoevers going to organise it, will PM me with payment details.

[Jack]

If half of us bought a Nigeria National Flag, 5ft x 3ft, for 2 or 3 quid a pop off Amazon and a stick we could wave them at the start, each time we scored and to celebrate the win.

If the other half want to get them that's fine too!

[weonlywon6-2]

Why don't we just try and get as much green as possible, flags, tops, etc etc......... oh and make a lot of noise

[Northernhibee]

This time I want our spectacular display to be on the pitch.

and ours was the better of the 2!

Have to agree with the other poster. Card displays and all that ***** have been done. Let's just turn up make as much noise as possible and for once win the damn thing.

[PerfectlyFranck]

and ours was the better of the 2!

I wouldn't say that. We had more cards, but they copied our semi-final display and improved the quality.
Ours just didn't come off, like our performance on the pitch. I didn't like the black either, it looked like 20,000 'ultras' rather than Hibs fans.
I was originally for the displays, but they didn't seem to work out entirely well. Also, the designs weren't the best.

I think the 2004 League Cup final was a great example of people simply dressing in as much green & white as possible.
That didn't work for the players either, so perhaps we should just concentrate on displaying Hibs songs! :wink:

[Nakedmanoncrack]

How about a flares/pyro display?:offski:

[Andy74]

I like seeing the teams come out, especailly in the big games, and that is when they get a cracking welcome out. Standing with a bit of card trying to see past other people standing with cards, no, not football for me.

Exactly. When you are holding a bit of card you cant clap. I would rather clap my team onto the pitch.

I agree with you, the last 2 big games at Hampden where we had displays, I saw nothing of the teams coming out, all I saw was the back of a card of the person in front of me!
Not for me either.

Who's is the display actually aimed at? Folk watching on TV?

[hfc rd]

Prefer flags than cards. The 2012 cup final display was awesome!

[jgl07]

Exactly. When you are holding a bit of card you cant clap. I would rather clap my team onto the pitch.
Easy. Hold the card with one hand and clap with the other.
