Are you talking about with a view to seeing if enough interest to run a bus to games ,or just gauging interest in who is out there .iether way me and my son could be interested There was an active branch years ago but am sure someone else can provide an update if it still exists and if still meet in Sloans the pub That's last meeting place I can remember

[Waxy]

Before The afterbirth of Celtic, there where thousands of Hibbys in Glasgow.

[Hannah_hfc]

I stay in the Southside of Glasgow so would certainly be interested in being part of a supporters branch :)

There has been a Glasgow branch on the go for some time in some format, back in the early 90's when it was affiliated with the supporters club it was only me and the old man that used the club as being a kid I could get in :greengrin We merged with the East Kilbride supporters in 2006(ish) to form the west of Scotland hibs supporters, due to us pretty much doing our own thing - especially for home games - and some of the folk whom had been going for decades going less now or not at all it has died away slightly, we did use to run some buses for long distance away games or arrange meet-ups for more "local" away games, seems to be a few smaller groups now whom make it up - heres the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/313055762076/ - the more the merrier :agree:

[Vini1875]

There are still some funds etc from the West of Scotland Branch. Certainly the last few years have seen a drop off in branch activity, but there are still a few boys who go to games. I'm in.

Gauging interest. If there was enough, I'd be happy to organise a bus. If not enough we could meet up travel through, car share, beers etc/..

I remember there was a branch - quite a few members. I can remember playing football for them too ( Sunday League) . Good times :agree:

The few times I've been in its full of Celtic fans - think they have a supports bus running from it!

Wouldnt surprise me about rangers fans tho, there's a few in the area

Wow

So there's at least two of us in the town :agree:

[ALF TUPPER]

Seems there are a few of us.
Maybe the original guys might like to organise a wee meet ( if you're up for it) and we can get things up n running for the new season. :greengrin

Most certainly! I remember walking down to the green, in Irvine. Some lad blasting penny arcade from his car. I was tempted to start singing "the cry was no promotion!!!!' But I'm not sure the locals would have liked this

When I first came here found it shocking that there are not many killie or Ayr United fans.

Was thinking of going to a few ayr games but to be honest I'm from Edinburgh my team is hibs, if that means traveling through every sat so be it

I've done my time in Ayrshire I'm free!!!!

[Coults1875]

I'm from Hamilton :flag: rarely see any fellow hibees around my way! Good to know there's others near by!

[Stantons Angel]

There used to be a branch of the association from Glasgow who used to travel to a lot of the games home and away.

Im sure if you check the Hibs club facebook page there is a page of branches and contact numbers on that that may assist you.

Im sure there is also information on supporters groups on the main Hibs site too.

I hope you find this helpful.

[DirtyDeeds]

Moving to Mt Florida in a months time, would be interested in any goings on surrounding this. Have mate in Partick area who would no doubt get involved too.

[The Harp]

Can remember meeting up with several members of the Glasgow branch at home and away games in the mid to late 60's. Among their number was Jim Hossack who at the time was a cameraman with STV (IIRC). Good bunch of guys they were.
Some time after that there was also the 'Hibees Glasgow Gossip' fanzine which was a pretty good read back in the day.

[Partick Hibee]

There's a few of us around that arrange meeting up pre-match etc on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/313055762076/?fref=ts Be good to getsome more stuff on the go, seems like some folk are keen.

Last 2 cup finals I've tried to organise a meet. Last one I had between 20-30 guys confirm they were all gonna turn up. Everyone of them were given either my mobile number or another poster on here's mobile number. Despite all the effort I put in only 3 of us turned up and only one guy was good enough to text and say soz they couldn't make it. Was still a good night though.
Now that I've got that out the way, I'd be up for it. Bit of a glory hunter now as work most saturdays and had to give up the season ticket. Only managed 7 games last season but went to all of them bar one on my own :(

[liamh2202]

Me and my son travel from helensburgh. Not got Facebook though so will keep an eye out for any progress on here. Or if someone could pm me if anything gets organized that would be ideal

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Don't forget me! I'm a rare breed, that is I'm indigenous to the west. Grew up in Ayr and now live in Renfrew (clue's in the name) Just a handful of miles from castle greyskull.
Had a season ticket from my teens until quite recently but family life and work restrict me at the moment however I will try for 6 or 7 home games this coming season + away days at St.Mirren (in-laws team)

[HibsEK]

I'm in East Kilbride and would be interested. I've sent a request to the Facebook group 👍

[Keith_M]

If you start a new Club, I'd be interested in joining, as we're hoping to move back to Glasgow next year (Mount Florida, probably)

[GreenOnions]

I'm in Clarkston in south Glasgow and would be interested too. I wouldn't do facebook though I'm afraid so hopefully some other options

[ALF TUPPER]

Seems there are lots of us. Rather than start a new Branch it may be best to join the WoScotland and get the membership up.
Wouldn't want to tread on toes either.
Existing W of S Branchers .... any thoughts? Meetings planned etc/.... we can come along to ?

IIRC, the WoS Branch guys used to mostly use the Hibees Bounce web-site.

Have you posted on there?

[Ronniekirk]

Looks like we are up to over 20 already ,a few like me not on Facebook ,so if something being arranged could someone take responsibility for posting on here or pm everyone The proof of continued interest is always who turns up for meetings or when travelling to game and it takes a lot of time for one person to organise so messages on this thread to start with probably as good as anything for us non face book folk

I used to live in Ayr, near Wellington square. Would say Ayr is the one of the classy parts in Ayrshire.

You're spot on, in the 70's I always had a drink or 3 with the Glasgow boys after the game. I remember Ally was the organiser in chief & although Jim Hossack, best known for " The Team That Wouldn't Die " was with STV I think he was a producer & Jimmy Stewart IIRC was the cameraman. Looks like things may take off for you again & I wish you all well.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

I used to live in Ayr, near Wellington square. Would say Ayr is the one of the classy parts in Ayrshire.

Don't know if you're taking the pee or not as there are loads of ****my parts in Ayr. Having said that there are loads of very well heeled areas too like Alloway where it's all millionaires.
I grew up just down from Belmont Academy in the St.Leonards Road area. Quite middle class there (we weren't though!) so much so that Lord pishey breeks himself lived just round the corner when he was MP for Carrick & Cummnock and his wife Liz was Provist for South Ayrshire.

I'm glad I'm away though as overall Ayr is a pretty soulless and tired, drab place just like many UK seaside towns.

[Bad Martini]

I feel pangs of awful guilt.

Never again will I hurl indiscriminate pelters at EVERY wedgie...for my past sins, I am sorry :not worth:aok:

I will now look out for the believers, scattered aroond the west (all youse) and except youse when I hurl pelters, now far more disriminately, at non-Hibbyish wedgie bassas.

And for your support to the cause, born here or not (which is even better) an even bigger salute to ye aw.

...just think, you could've been huns or tic fans...(shudders, as per Homer when Marge's sisters come roond).

(in yer best Mrs Doyle accent from Father Ted) Ahhh ye weeeel, ye weeeeel, ye weeeel, ye weeeel, ye weeeel.

OK, fair dues, here is the disclaimer:

* If you are not a weedgie, but live in the weej and follow the Hibs, all the above respect applies.
* If you are a a weedgie and live in the weej and follow the Hibs, all the above respect still applies.
* In fact, not to give a **** where you live, if you follow the hibs, all the above respect still applies, with no geographic bias against anyone, anwyhere at any time (at least not on the grounds of where ye live :greengrin)

In addition, I should add the obvious from Wikipedia, Magnacarta and Doomsday book:

* Everything west of Ingilston is "weedgie land"
* Everyone north of the Forth are Fifers or Highlanders (lovingly known as sheep)
* Everyone south of Edinburgh are English :na na::greengrin

I fear, I shant be giving any more compliments agian. It only leads to trouble.

Ya bunch of non-Edinburgh, weedgie/sheep/english *******s :greengrin:thumbsup:

That'll bring the Hamilton posse up to at least four of us. There is another Hibee over here too called Ian, and I've seen a few kids wearing Hibs tops that caught me by surprise so there are others.

I've been a lapsed Hibee over last two seasons but plan to make it to a few games this season and as I have just cancelled SKY Sports so any Live games I am forced to go out and have a beer.
Tap Room was where I'd go but they pissed me off last season by not putting on the second half of a Hibs Huns Game. had to watch it with 20 Huns across in Bar West.
Any suggestions welcome for meeting in the area if Hibs are on TV and we aren't going

[DH1875]

Poor show.
Fancy trying it again?

Like I said, I'm a bit of a part timer these days but would defo join if something gts up and running. Don't have facebook though.

I think the logistics of everyone makes it a bit difficult to run a bus every week and don't think its cost effective for a lot of us. A bus would need to leave say glasgow city centre every week, are folk from EK, hamilton, Ayr etc...gonna travel into Glasgow when they can jump the train or drive from where they live? I'm not so sure.

I've only been to Hamilton once for a beer and football with the bro in law can't even mind the boozers name somewhere near the high school, oh and my bus went to the palace for 'that' final so il never be there again, I'd be up for meeting up a few times for the games tho either going or pubbing it not much use round my way especially if Celtic are playing I went into a pub once think it was Spurs v arsenal I was after, first pub had 4 TVs..all on Celtic v Dundee! I can barely find a boozer for soccer Saturday because they all have some kind of feeds to the games on Saturday's, angels in uddingston has a small old school TV tucked away in the corner with the scores on I learned about 2 weeks from the end of the season...it's gonna be great fun....

Just a thought, since a fair few of you don't have Pusbook, why not set up a group? if you go to Community ^, click on the drop-down menu, you'll see 'groups'. Then there is an option to 'create a group' where you could set-up a WoS Hibs one and chat away all you want :aok:

Alternatively, just ignore me and as you were :greengrin

Think you need to take over from Alf Tupper to get us organised ,as it stands there is plenty expression of interest but apart from a couple who have responded to the original branch on Facebook the rest of us are waiting on something being organised .

Not for me. I work most saturdays so don't get to as many games as I used to, would like to. Think "the leader" should be someone who will be at most of our games so I'll leave that to you & Alf. There are other weegie based fans who haven't posted on this thread so would be good to get them on board as well.

Baby steps mate. Think it'll take a bit of time to get everything up and running and you won't see the benefits until we're well into the season. Think maybe the first thing would be to get the sub forum on the go and that way others can help and band some ideas about to help you out so that your not left doing it all on your own.

[hibs0666]

We had a cracking poty in Glasgow the night of Ivans hat trick (i think). A good target for the season would be to get a planned and supported by the club.

Hi All. I'm going to be in London next week. So, If anyone fancies a pub meet in Glasgow City Centre on Friday of this week for a beer and some good old Hibs chat can you let me know and I'll organise a venue. (Apologies for short notice)
Maybe we can discuss travel to games, joining an existing supporters Club ...... or creating a new one?

If you can't manage, I'll make sure you are all kept in the loop . :aok:

Thanks everyone one for all your encouragement and suggestions.

Can't make it this weekend. Travel the country for work and need at least 2 weeks notice so that I can switch dates and stuff. Anyone who can't make it but is still keen should post their thoughts and ideas on here. I'll post/share mine when I get back home.

[DH1875]

Quick question, did we establish if the west of scotland club were still active or not.

Quick question, did we establish if the west of scotland club were still active or not.

Got my son to go onto their face book page and he said looks like they aren't but if that's not the case would be good if someone involved with it currently can let us know
Checked Hibees Bounce and you were last to post on west of Scotland site back in 2014 unless as I am not a member it isn't giving r access to up to date posts
Think Hannahj and someone else said they had joined the W of S Facebook page so would be good to hear from them what outcome was
So think there is work to be done to get intest going again

[ALF TUPPER]

Thanks DH & Ronnie for the update.
Totally agree, a bit of work required but I'm confident we'll get there tho'

Mon the Hibees ! 😊

Was hoping not to have to start a new one Billy as there is already one in our area.

Hadn't given thought to it but once we all get together , and if we do start up a new Branch, I'm sure we'll think of a suitable name. 😉 👍

Hi All. I'm going to be in London next week. So, If anyone fancies a pub meet in Glasgow City Centre on Friday of this week for a beer and some good old Hibs chat can you let me know and I'll organise a venue. (Apologies for short notice)
Maybe we can discuss travel to games, joining an existing supporters Club ...... or creating a new one?

If you can't manage, I'll make sure you are all kept in the loop . :aok:

Thanks everyone one for all your encouragement and suggestions.

GGTTH

Did you get out last night. How many bodies turned up?

[ALF TUPPER]

Hi DH. Yes we met up for the inaugural meeting. 😊

There were 2 of us. Myself and Ronnie. Had a good laugh comparing Hibs' disasters and glorious victories we had witnessed over the years. Judging by the response to the thread I'm sure we can get more folk on board.

I'll organise more meets (social nights). Thinking of aiming towards travelling to ER together for the Petrofac SevcoZombie game on the supporter's tandem.

I'll update this thread and PM everyone who has shown interest so far with details. ( Probably a convoy of cars )

I guys/gals took my new g/f to her first ever Hibs game last season (in fact, her first ever game !) and she totally loved it. I still live in Edinburgh but travel to Glasgow every weekend as she lives in Bishopbriggs. Keen to meet up with fellow Hibbies when games are through the west. Pub in city centre ? The Iron Horse ?

Madhibby and his 3 lads (all 18+) live in Bishopbriggs so should be able to point you in the right direction. Season ticket holders though so probably be at the games lol. Iron horse aint the best place (IMO of course) to be running a Hibs supporters out off.

Just heading back home from work. Been a long week so will post my thoughts on things on here later tonight or tomorrow.

MacConnells is pretty much near the motorway as well. Not sure about parking though. Did someone have a tie in with the owner/manager or was it just a turn up on the day and hope for the best type thing?

On a side note, what happened to the flag Vini?

I have replied to your e mail as a previous/current West of Scotland Branch member. It is a long time since I paid any subscription. I’m sure we would all support the reviving of the Branch - plenty still attend Hibs games but nothing is organised via the Branch.

Wee update folks. I've been trying to book the function room at McConnells for a wee Hibby night in the West. Despite several calls they won't confirm the booking.
It's officially a Celtc pub now and they have supporters coaches leaving from there. ( they've even nicked our pub !! )

Looks like Hibbies aren't welcome or wanted. McConnells don't seem to want our money. So, .... any thoughts of an alternative pub in the Weege City Centre. I'll contact them on my return from London.

Pencil in Friday 31 July in your diaries everyone. I'll confirm the venue soon. Please spread the word!

Here's the thing, McConnells is to far out the way if your expecting folk to travel from places like Ayr,Killie,Irvine etc.....your looking at somewhere close enough to Glasgow Central as it is to Glasgow Queen Street (problem with that is the ICF drink in 2 bars near queen st station on match days). I'm not sure about numbers for a bus so think to start with train could be an option which is another reason to meet near/between the stations. Rem that kids travel free with an adult on the trains and you can get the group saver if 4 or more people are travelling together. If we did end up with enough bodies to be running a bus every week then could always get it to pick up, drop off at george square.
You should look to get as many folk on board as possible. Even the guys who cant/wont be travelling with you every week. Get them all clubed together on the database network and that way if someone isn't using their ST then another branch member can use it. Also helps with away tickets in that if a member isn't taking up their option of a ticket for say Ibrox, then a branch member could take it. Also, set aside 3 dates, say the 2 Livi away games and the last home game against the Hun. Call them branch days out and insist that as many branch members travel to these 3 games as possible together as a branch. We can all travel in our smaller groups for most of the season but these 3 games will defo have a bus running type of thing and your starting to take names and numbers now. You've also got to have the christmas party and end of season party where again you try and get as many people as possible involved, even the guys who don't go every week. Like I've said before in other posts, baby steps but you will get there.

I'm not gonna make the 31st and won't be at a lot of matches because I work saturdays but I'll defo sign up and travel with you guys to the games I can make. If you take up the 3 game idea I'd try and make them as well if I've got enough notice :)

[ALF TUPPER]

Sounds good. I picked McConnells as that's where the WoS have met in the past it seems. Open to all suggestions and support :)

I've booked Sammy Dows (next to Queen Street Station) for next Friday.:cheers:

The pub may be quite busy so I booked the function room for the evening. I'm going along to pay a £50.00 deposit to them this week. So, please come along, meet fellow Hibbies, have a laugh and a beer and hopefully we can get fired up for the season starting.

You know, I was gonna suggest Dows but I always thought it was a Celtc Pub, as well as always being too busy.

My Missus used to work in Queen St Stn and would meet up there with her mates (almost all Celtc minded).


p.s. If you get chatted up by a girl called Mary Jane, from Coatbrig' .... I recommend an emergency exit via the toilet windows! :wink:

I'm in East Kilbride and have been for 22 years now. Seems there are a lot of Lanarkshire Hibees out there too, and I've seen plenty of Hibs strips around EK in the last few years.

[ALF TUPPER]

I have had a phone call from staff at Sammy Dows. They don't want us. They don't want our £dosh.
Reason when I asked ..... They don't do football clubs. Which I know is nonsense.

So with McConnells and Sammy Dows both officially boycotted by the Tupper family, I have another venue. Its booked under a pseudonym (Phil Smith - Daft name but i think I got away with it) :greengrin
It was probably unwise to say there was a football connection in the first place - especially in the Weege. (shoolboy error)

Anyhoo, fellow Hibbies .................................. A table booked for 15- 20 (might be amibtious) now at :

Waxy O'Connors
44 West George Street
Glasgow

Friday 31 July, from 7:30 - Midnight !

I'm also a West Coast based Hibby. Grew up in Haddington but been through here since 2004 and currently live in Robroyston.

Tbh I normally meet up with mates from East Lothian before matches but good to see something getting organised in Glasgow and would be good to have company travelling to games. I would have attended tonight but unfortunately having to sit in with the wife and our newborn son (who WILL be following in his old man's and forefather's footsteps' in supporting the famous Edinburgh green and white).

Hopefully tonight goes well and I'll definitely keep an eye out for future events. 👍

Miserable weather but hopefully a good turn out .The main objective was to test whether there were numbers of hibees in the west out there that would be willing to start meeting up,and then take things from there .
Initial signs are there is support and folk are willing to get involved and see where this takes us :wink:

Really sorry we could not make it last night. Looking forward to the next time. GGTTH.

Big thank you to everyone who managed along last night.
There were 16 of us in Waxys last night. From.... the Weege, Bishopbriggs, Wishaw and Ayrshire (was particularly well represented) . Brilliant effort guys! Thanks
I think it's fair to say we all had a good time. :greengrin

We'll defo be organising more events, in particular, of course, trips to see the Hibees.

With the "Westies" growing in numbers again .... we're definitely back !! :thumbsup:

So I've recently moved to Glasgow and I'd quite like to meet up with some hibbys/arrange to go to games/grab a few beers in the pub to watch any televised games.

October is looking like a pretty busy month for me but none-the-less, I'd be happy to swap mobile numbers via pm if anyone is interested.

I'm in easterhouse and will be at the dumbarton game if you fancy a beer or two

Could we not maybe arrange a bus or something for the rangers game? Plenty of notice and while everyone wont make it I'm sure that most could given its already gonna be a massive game. Even if we cant get a bus, arrange for those travelling through on the train to travel together and maybe have a branch meet after it.

Would take a lot of organising but if someone has the time?

Train/lifts to home games would probably be easier way to start, get people going on the same trains

I plan to stay in Glasgow on the Saturday night. My misses and I plan to get the 10am train from Queen St to Edinburgh on the Sunday morning. I expect the train will be full of crème buns so any other Hibs fans are welcome.

What about meeting up/ bus for the Raith game in Kirkcaldy? Away games make easier meet ups/buses. There was a load of westies down at Dumfries, good wee day out. Kirkcaldy is another decent wee trip.
