I love Hibs
Have just booked my airfare home - horrendous trip from the bottom of the earth - to surprise my wonderful (Hibby) dad, with a ticket for the final, for his 80th birthday. He will be gobsmacked I am home again. He, like me, have supported Hibs through thick and thin. We will do this. Glad it is Rangers we beat. I am confident ...we watched us beat Dunfermline in the league cup back in the day, I came home for the Livi cup final we both went to. I fully expect us to do the business against Rangers!
Whatever happens, a very proud Hibby here in Dunedin , New Zealand. I will be wearing our proud shirt all the way, both to and from NZ.

I will also be making the journey home, but not quite as far as you!

Top effort guys. I doff my cap to you and all the hibees making the trip home.
Great effort bud, Dunedin is probably the furthest airport in the world away from Edinburgh I'd guess.
Think I mind briefly speaking with you on here when I was down there, shame we never grabbed a beer.
I hope you live on the cross section of Arthur and Duncan streets!
Gutted that I won't be going unless I come into some sort of miraculous windfall in the next few weeks.
EDIT - What way are you going!?

Ironic, considering Dunedin's name is based on the Gaelic version of Edinburgh. :tee hee:

Yup, and they have a bit of Edinburgh Castle's rock up on a hill.

Are you flying through Aus .
Might get a couple of the Aus Hibbies on your flight to make stop/ stops a bit more interesting .
2 so far and probably more on flight from Sydney - Doha on 18 May

That is a really long journey so I hope you bring luck with you from Dunedin and see us lift the cup.
