Hate talking about parades, celebrations etc. as don't want to tempt fate or sound like i'm being cocky but was just reading on twitter that IF we win on Sunday there will be no parade on Sunday night.

Any truth in this? If so then why not and will there be something else arranged?

Admins, could you please delete all threads that mention victory parades please?

Thanks.

Why? Folk should know what's happening after the game so that they can make plans should we win on Sunday. All this "tempting fate" is a load of nonsense, a post on a message board is not going to make a difference to the match on Sunday.

Why? I'm in absolutely no way being cocky or thinking its a dead cert that we will win. Was just surprised to hear that SHOULD we win there would be no sunday night celebrations.

Any parade means a party at this time of the season with so much at stake having an almighty bender for the players is the last thing they need too much still to play for

This is true, there are no plans to do anything on Sunday due to the amount of issues there were in 2007. "If" we win the club will speak to the city and arrange something over the following week or so.

Because it gives me a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach and is forever used by obsessed rivals as definitive proof of our over-confidence, which I genuinely think we don't have.

Cancelled as Stokes has a night out in London planned.

I get that but like I say, i'm absolutely not over confident. It was simply to know what would happen IF we did it. Very different from giving it "oh WHEN we win whats going to happen".

I've prepared more in my head for what i'll do if we lose tbh. I've supported hibs long enough to know not to get cocky lol!

No parade. Show us the cup at the next home game. Proper fans will see it at Hampden anyway. Back to the stadium at night and it's full of part timers sitting in your seat you have at home games. Just the wee matter of winning it.

yep, Caley away 3 days later in a QTR final, with a very good chance to making another final !

I was thinking win or lose on Sun and the replay spells defeat.
1/ Win - pished for 1-2 days, not fit n ready for Wed
2/ Lose - pisehd 1 day and no confidence for Wed

If Stubbs has the team lift the trophy on Sunday and raring for Wed as well (and gets through), then hats off to him for making the club as professional as it damn should be!

The fans can have a party regardless, I don't really need to see a bus and trophy, not at the detriment of another big game in 3 days!

1972, 1991 & 2007 we had parades as soon as the team got back to Edinburgh, I see no reason why we can't do the same this time IF we win it.
Leaving it a day or a week will take away from the occasion for me, let the celebrations commenced right after the final whistle and deep into the night please.

ER in 1991 remains as one of my favourite ever Hibs experiences. My eldest was six and he can still remember the night. These moments don't come around often so let's enjoy it to the max, should we win of course!

I'll not be going to the parade that's not been arranged and will not be rained on.

I'm all for spontaneity but looks like the muppets that repeatedly interrupted the last celebration P'd on all subsequent ones in the process.

Given this new reality There should be an agreed approach to an event so everyone is clear what the schedule is.

If we win a cup there should be a bus through town. Job done that night when fans out anyway.

It's not like these moments happen regularly as a Hibs fan! 2007 was superb following the bus from princess street to Easter Road, definitely added majorly to the whole occasion. Hopefully we hear something offical from Hibs. Does someone have the email address where we can maybe find something out about this?

You'd think we win a cup every couple of years! IF we win the cup there should be a parade, at the very least, on the Sunday night. Why? (a) we don't win a cup every couple of years (b) the players/management/back room staff would deserve to be congratulated in such a way (c) i completely trust the management team to lay down the line in regard to the players over doing celebrations! and (d) it'll really annoy the puddle drinkers!😉

If we win we can have a parade another time/parade the cup after a league game. We have a massive match three days after Sunday and I'd rather the players were focussed on that, a chance to play the worst team in the PL for a place in the final.

That was a crap proposal.

Not only did it go nowhere near Leith Walk, it didn't even go down London Rd, the most logical alternative. It seemed more like a proposal for the least objectionable route for the council bigwigs.

Surely there will be a parading of the Cup on return to Edinburgh should we win. Not too fussed about a party in the ground at night, but an open top bus would have to be a given at least.
I live 25 miles from ER but would be heading back to Edinburgh in light of victory. A parade/party at a later date is all well and good, but would never come close to the raw emotion of seeing silverware paraded through the streets a few hours after victory.
Open Top bus along Princes Street and down Leith Walk and up Easter Road. That's all we would need to do. I can live without the opening up ER.

Seeing as I've been dragged into this, against my better judgement... and because I'm such an opinionated barsteward ;-)


Team get on open topped bus at Haymarket*, then travel along Princes St, down Leith St, to the foot of Leith Walk, Duke St, then back up Easter Rd to the stadium.




* Actually my second choice, as I don't think the Polis would be happy with my first idea, of boarding the bus outside Tynecastle and travelling along Gorgie and Dalry.

Agreed - crap route and should go down part of Leith Walk at least and London Road.

If nothing official is announced there should just be a party organised for Leith Walk on the Sunday night.

I'd be very disappointed if there's no parade. The players don't have to drink but the celebrations in 1991 were amazing, 2007 less so due to the speed of the bus through the town. But winning and celebrating go hand in hand.

We have the cup replay now against ICT on the Wednesday so i don't think Stubbs will want any distractions and the mental exertions of a cup final cant be overlooked as stephen Thompson said on sports scene
The players will need to get as much rest as possible and as folk are saying if we do win the fans can party anyway
Its a pity but think the Cup reply has put paid to anything big being organised but let s wait and see what is announced

You need to celebrate a cup otherwise what's the point?

They need to sit or stand on a bus through town for a bit. I doubt it will impact their ability to play a game on Wednesday night.

I'd imagine the players will engage in some form of celebration anyway and it's not as if we win tophies so often that we can be blasé about it.

This is getting rediculous!!! We're taking about an event that will happen literally just 3 hours after the game!! Something that will run from around 8pm-10pm. Do people really think there won't be a 'mental focus' if the cup finial isn't blocked out of minds come 10pm instead of 5pm?! Ridiculous!

Get the bus and parade done good and proper, it's history and tradition and doesn't come around all too often! This better happen.

I did say at the end lets wait and see whats announced Some posters had said they had heard anything that was going to be done was happening on the Monday Don't know if any truth in that
but that was before we knew we had the replay on the Wed
The reference to the Final taking a lot out the players physically and mentally was said by another player of another club who had been through this and he was highlighting in his opinion this would make the replay more difficult for us to negotiate

This is true, there are no plans to do anything on Sunday due to the amount of issues there were in 2007. "If" we win the club will speak to the city and arrange something over the following week or so.

Well, all I can say is, that's typical Edinburgh Council/police crap. The parade is often the best bit of the day when the whole community (and neutrals) come out into the street to receive the players. Folk come back from the game in their colours with flags and banners and the whole occasion is spontaneous, colourful and fun. Having some over-organised, formal parade a few days or weeks later is like celebrating a goal 10 minutes after it's scored.

Yes, there were some juvenile idiots who invaded the pitch at ER and probably a few incidents in the run up/after, but the police need to man up and deal with these so the 99% who just want to celebrate can do so.

None of this Monday nonsense. I'd rather we just stuck it away and got on with thinking about ICT than have a forced parade a day after the event that so many people won't be able to go to.

Why can't they just have the open top bus on Sunday like last time and not bother with the stadium if it's too much trouble?

There are probably bitter Saviles at the council at work here.

Where are you getting this info?

I fully understand the problems in the stadium in 2007, but this can easily be resolved.

Either season tickets get you in and you can rush back to purchase a ticket to get in, even say a token 1 pound entry fee or just close the stadium entirly.

There is no closures on Leith walk this time so even a bus down LW and up E.R would be better than nothing.

Anything planned at a later date would just be crazy and a lot less people would turn out for it imo.

No, still wouldn't understand it. They will have just won a cup - a couple of hours out their evening to sit on a bus won't alter anything.

In fact, it should blooming well encourage them to want to relive the scenes over and over again in their careers.

That's my recollection as well - the polis were an absolute disgrace that night. If I recall the stadium was half empty as most folk were being stopped from going any further at Easter Road - we barely even saw the bus for the roadblock. Utter ********s they really are.

There better be a parade after the final if we win.

The stadium being half empty was not the fault of the police. It was well signalled that the stadium would shut whilst the bus was still coming down Leith Walk. That was to stop people watching the parade them all trying to get in to the stadium at the same time. It was a perfectly valid safety concern, it was up to individuals to choose between seeing the open top bus or greeting the team at ER. The police aren't perfect but they weren't at fault there.

Hardly think that Ross County will need motivation of a Hibs fans site for a cup final. Some people need a reality check. It's only Hibs fans wanting to celebrate winning a national cup. If County win I'm sure the whole of Dingwall will be out to greet them.

I disagree - by the time we got down near the stadium after getting the train back they'd already blocked access. It was causing more bother than anything that night as did their intransigence and over the top reaction to anyone asking what was going on. A bit of common sense seemed totally beyond them.

Should Hibs win on Sunday, surely all parties concerned will have learned the lessons of 2007, and made appropriate plans to try to make sure those problems are avoided this time. Is that too much to expect?

Not to have a parade with the cup on Sunday evening, IF Hibs were to win the trophy, would be ridiculous.

HibbiesandtheBaddies
07-03-2016, 07:18 PM
Of course there should be a parade, if we were to win. Stubbsy would just need to have a word with the players to remind them about the replay on Weds and suggest they have a couple of beers and leave it at that. He's made it clear that he trusts his players.

Winning a cup for a team in a big city and having the opportunity to parade it through the streets to the stadium must be a fantastic experience, just ask Budgie, Gareth Evans or Ivan, and it would be unfair to deny them that.

Just my personal opinion.

Hopefully we hear something offical from Hibs. Does someone have the email address where we can maybe find something out about this?
has to be the same night surely(if we win that is)players dont need to drink < show the cup to the fans on the day, i for 1 wont see any parades next day or next home match?? they will be a lot of folk in same boat as me,, im not a season ticket holder but i see hibs once or twice a year ill not get much change(if any)out of £1500 for two trips to see hibs(money well spent in my eyes)ive nver missed a final from 91 onwards but (IF)we win and no parade after me and my son will be gutted(but still happy weve won the cup):flag:anyway hope to see some of you next wkend...

If Hibs don't want to be seen to "assume" anything, they can always make plans with the consent of the police, and release the details on the Hibs website 10 mins after the final whistle goes (if we win of course). That's the magic of social media and the internet - instant communication. All they'd need to say before the match is that any post-match arrangement will be posted on the Hibs FC website.

If we get beat, they just don't publish anything.

Cup final should be on the bloody Saturday, avoid clashing with the Scottish rugby, Ross Co fans could travel in greater no's as likely to not be working on Sunday and whichever teamwins the ****ing cup could have their parade on the Sunday.

Everbody's known when the Scottish League Cup final was going to be played for a long time.

As I've said above, nothing is being done after the game on Sunday due to the problems in 2007. There are no "plans" yet for anything on Monday but that could change.

Wish they would just do it on Sunday, it's all part of the bloody day!

This is what I've heard as well. Council and police have objected because of what happened in 2007, incidentally it would be the same for Hearts before any 'Council bias' arguement spews forth. I don't agree with the decision but the Council have said that there won't be any parades on the day of a cup win anymore. There were initial discussions about having something the following weekend, though I don't know if anything came of them. Hibs might try to organise something (at the ground perhaps) but as for road closures etc for a parade - not on Sunday. Source - Someone in the Council that organises these type of things.

Exactly!! There better be something happening, and stuff this 'for the following weekend' crap. Everyone who has spent a fortune traveling from all likes of places will be firmly back home at that point! I'll be seriously gutted if we don't do anything at all.

Don't you believe it ! If the council's beloved Hearts pushed to have a parade on the day of the game, they would find a way to make it happen.

Having a formal parade a week after the event is madness. This is not the Holy Grail, and we have a midweek game that might see us knocked out of the Scottish Cup taking the wind right out our sails. Many of the folk who are travelling from all over the world will have gone home. There could be more on the bus than standing in the street !

One thing I do have sympathy for is, if the stadium is to open then it means a lot of Hibs staff will not be able to go to Glasgow to watch the match. With the club's new ethos of everybody working together at the club, I think it's only right that everyone who works at the club is there to share in the moment at Hampden.

We need an official statement with a logical explanation for any deviation from all the previous cup wins. If it has anything to do with 2007, then the police and Council are singling Hibs fans out as trouble-makers who cannot be trusted to behave, but Hearts fans are fine. That needs to be challenged.

If we win, and the council & police force's determination that Hibs fans enjoying a traditional victory parade won't be welcomed, then just open up the skylights of team bus - get Stubbsy & David Gray to poke themselves through it and show off the cup as the bus heads through the capital back to ER.

There definitely needs to be a proper explanation if this is indeed the case. If they are saying that the stadium wouldnt be open due to safety I think I could live with it as long as there was a parade beforehand. To have no parade with a reason given that after 2007 it was decided no same day parades then they need to explain why Hearts were able to have one in 2013 even though it wasnt needed. Given the council is perceived to have made decisions in the past which appear to have favoured that team e.g the less than rigorous pursuit of non-payment being one then there needs to be clear communication from the council why. Getting gubbed in the last round of the Scottish cup doesnt cover it.

I guess so, I dont remember any official announcement back then, but Marinello has said a few times it was clearly advertised either watch the bus or go to the ground, i know a few fannies were on the pitch but thats it.

its not hard to organise and say were not opening the stadium but will do a parade.

The alternative is if there is no plans made that xxx thousand hibs fan congregate at the west waiting on the team coming back which would then result in even more carnage than if it is planned and advertised properly

Have to disagree. Part of the fun is trying to get back from Hampden in time to see the trophy paraded. It is ourageous if the authorities are standing in the way if this. And an organised event weeks later is just a damp squib IMO.

The only positive I can see if no parade is that the club want to remain focused for the replay on Wednesday and the chance of a money making trip to hampden again.

Though as others have said these moments don't come around often and the buzz would be lost if it was done in any other way except on the night of the game.

Sadly I can't make it over this time but they really do need to organise something. Was at east end of Princes St in 2007 and was one of many highlights that day. They are asking for trouble if they don't, thousands hanging around up toon with no parade, bad idea.

It's a bad idea not to have a parade because it would be a big disappointment to Hibs fans and reeks of nanny state-ism but they are not "asking for trouble" in the sense that I suspect you mean it.

If there's no parade, anyone doing any sort of damage to council buildings/pavement dancing or anything similar will have no justification for doing so.

If there is no parade if we win it is a disgrace IMO.

One of my earliest and most vivid memories is seeing the players parade the Trophies in Easter Road after the SKOL cup win in 1991. Even got to touch the cup :thumbsup:

I've got a few younger cousins coming on Sunday and for them not to have the chance to see that would be very dissapointing. :agree:

Everyone should calm doon.

Nobody has ruled out a parade, it just might not happen on the night. Which suits me too, I'd rather we organised it well rather than the nonsense of last time. Particularly those supporters who didn't attend the match strolling to the stadium before the folks who did bother their ***** to go could get back from glasgow.

Meh! Victory parades are for right after the win. It's for on the day, then move on. No chance I will be attending some contrived event a week or two later. Just a personal thing. Anyone who has been at the first home game after we have won trophies will know what I mean. It's just a damp squib trailing the trophy round the park at half time or after the game. With the exception of 8-1 v Ayr Utd all those years ago, I don't think that showing off a trophy has coincided with a win.
Mind you, it was some win the following week too. :flag:

The logistics of time for RC is understandable though, they wouldnt realistically be home to do it till around 11pm so I can understand that.

If its HIbs, a drive down E.R and Leith walk at 9 pm involving no drink for the players and then home after is really not goign to impact anything for wednesday surly.

Like I said earlier, IF we win and nothing is done/announced then many thousands of fans will just camp outside the west stand and wait on the bus any way, resulting in even more chaos.

Either way I would have thought something official would have been said by now.

It's not just about partying, you write as if it's simply a bus ride - have you any idea of the emotional impact of such a parade on these guys? do you think they can switch off as soon as they get off the bus? They will hardly be able to sleep for about the next 24 hours - it would have a huge emotional drain on them - definitely not the way to prepare for a football game in the Wednesday.

It's a shame, but if we are lucky enough to win and they want to have the best chance on Wednesday there should be no parade

I asked that question the other night as knew they had a midweek game .Surely they must be arranging something for the following weekend if they win their first major Trophy .
But agree Stubbs is likely to adopt that same approach I would think

Maybe Rod will suggest he and L D parade the Cup round Easter Road Oh wait a minute folk would boycott it because Rod was there

I have enjoyed parades in the past and do have some sympathy for younger supporters that haven't witnessed that ,but it's down to the Club to decide what's best and when they decide they will tell us their decision and rationale behind it , and I have no problem with that

Rubbish. They will have just won a cup. The extra heading through town for a couple of hours 3 days before the next game would make no difference to their mental state. If anything it should encourage them to want to do it again.

Emotional Impact? surly being a fan your emotions run at the same, if not higher than the players at times. Winning a cup, and if its done the Hibs way we can expect an emotional rollercoaster, the party in leith after etc.......none of this is going to make me phone my boss and say BTW on wednesday I wont be at your desiresed level.

No one want/expects them to go on the lash, but a parade for an hour is hardly going to kill them, and as another poster just said, it will only serve to enourage them to want to do it again. But next time it will be bigger! (we can pray haha)

I wouldn't be too disappointed. The abiding memory of any cup win for me is seeing the trophy raised at Hampden. If we do win it, and we have a huge task ahead of us on Sunday to do so, then that would do me. Everything else would just be a bonus.

Yep, and if they went straight home - Surely their head would be buzzing anyway from their achievement - Can't imagine either way, they'll sleep perfectly that night (win or lose).
A bus parade to see what it means to the fans, surely can have a positive impact. They can still be home in bed at a decent hour.

The Glasgow Twins have dominated Scottish football for decades. The National Stadium and SFA Offices are in Glasgow. The OF Loving Media is Glasgow minded.

Watching your club hold the trophy aloft in Hampden is joyful, but is not the same as parading a trophy around your local streets among the local residents who support the club. That's symbolic :thumbsup:.

This is what I've heard as well. Council and police have objected because of what happened in 2007, incidentally it would be the same for Hearts before any 'Council bias' arguement spews forth. I don't agree with the decision but the Council have said that there won't be any parades on the day of a cup win anymore. There were initial discussions about having something the following weekend, though I don't know if anything came of them. Hibs might try to organise something (at the ground perhaps) but as for road closures etc for a parade - not on Sunday. Source - Someone in the Council that organises these type of things.

If true, definitely need to blame someone, especially given the 2013 Hearts plans. LD talks about re-engaging the fans, and there are few better opportunities than parading a trophy around the streets of Edinburgh following a cup win. Hibs need to comment.

Personally, I would not travel 10 miles to watch some contrived, half-baked, stage-managed effort days after the event. Waste of time. Can you imagine "The Team That Wouldn't Die" without the incredible parade scenes in 1991 ?

Tend to agree. Having a parade a week after for example IMO would be pointless as many of the fans who went to the game wont be there as many will have travelled from far and wide. Dont actually think there is a justifiable reason why this cant take place on the Sunday, fair enough if the ground isnt opened up but surely a parade of down Leith Walk and up Easter Road should take place.

If its the Police, its an admission of incompetence .... especially from a force used to dealing with 100,000 pissed up folk on auld years night.

If its the council, it just reaffirms what many of us already think .... that they have no regard for Hibernian football club or the people who support it.

Just about any town or city in the UK would be made up to see one of its sports teams win a national trophy and bust a gut to accommodate its wish to share that achievement with its supporters and the city in general ................

Scottis football is a joke

Having a parade (if Hibs were to win the trophy) over a week after the final is just not the same.

Many supporters who will have made the journey to Hampden on Sunday, some from as far away as Australia & USA, will not still be in Edinburgh more than a week later.

Very disappointing.


I would think it's more to do with the Rugby being in Edinburgh this weekend and the police would struggle to look out for both things....

I'm gutted as I'll be backshift that week..but guess what......If we win I'll happily miss it knowing we have a trophy

You might have a point but your petulant dig at Scottish football over a bus journey ruins it a tad.

Absolute joke!! Raging at this. Fans like myself who have travel from far and wide and will be long home and miss this special occasion! It should of been night of (tradition) or the next day - Monday. A full week after is a joke and will have a far lower attendance.

Flippin gutted at this news!!

Been following this thread from the start, I'd love to see a parade but i'd prefer to see a well rested Hibs team hump ICT on the Wednesday.

IF we win, I'm sure there will be a parade on Monday afternoon. That will be buzzing. The players can get a round of applause of the shoppers in Princess St. If my mum is going to Jenners for her tea and scone I will get her to wave her walking stick in the air when the open top bus goes passed

Feel sorry for those fans who have came from afar and will be home without seeing a victory parade should hibs be triumphant

What would you like to hear out of interest. As much as we'd love it to be otherwise, there's no parade without police and council permission and participation. They can't just tell them to go swivel.

Think us fans should concentrate on enjoying Sunday now. Wait to see how the day goes, if it goes well then we should kick up a stink and make sure it's a week on Sunday, kids are at school on Monday and everyone at work, will be impossible for a lot of folk to get into town!

Ridiculous idea for Monday night, they organised Hearts parade for a Sunday.

I'll just be happy if we do have this to moan about come Sunday night though!

Not fussed. Just care about what happens at Hampden. That's what matters.
We'll have a cracking party regardless of a parade should we win.
We can even have a shandy or gin with the rugby fans that missed the match and share our views of the game ;)

A week on Monday? That is surely a piss take. The council are laughing up their sleeves with this - Hibs shouldn't even give them the courtesy of a reply to their invite and just show off the cup from the team bus on a route down Leith to Easter Road on return should we win.

What.

Something along the lines of we'd rather get the players rested up before another big game 3 days later

or

What the hell we'l keep the players out till the wee small hours get them knackered and when we play pish and fall asleep during the SC QF on Wednesday and worry about the flack on this site then.

If it's Monday night I very much doubt I would be there and reckon the overall turnout would be poor and the whole thing pretty flat.

If we win, I'll be heading down to Easter Road after the game regardless of whether there is a parade or not. Hopefully the team bus would be heading back to ER and could see that turning in to an unofficial parade.

Seems OK to me, will wait till after Sunday and depending on result send emails to the council and dempster

Exactly. Would be a damp squib and probably worse than not having one at all.

Something from them apposed to the 'Lord Provost'. So that it 100% puts everything at ease. Maybe it already has and I'm just holding out for that last glimmer of hope that it's otherwise, it just completely stinks. A big part of the celebrations are contained in the street parade, it topped off the day in 2007, and to think that will not be offered now to out of town fans like myself - hurts!

What a load o *****. How long would it take for them to parade the trophy on Sunday night. Do you think the players are just going to switch off and go home to bed after the game so they are fighting fit for the Wednesday night?

Having the players standing on an open top bus (if they win on Sunday) for a wee while, taking the applause of their supporters, is not going to make any difference to how they play the following Wednesday. None of the players will be, or should be, "out to the wee small hours" getting hammered or anything else. That's for the fans.

The guy you replied to is coming all the way from California for this match and I fully understand why he is very disappointed.
