How far are you coming for the Cup Final?

[PatHead]

I was asked if I had any spare tickets for someone from Australia and managed to get one from a friend of a friend. Made me wonder how far folk are travelling?

[The Green Goblin]

Prague in 2001, Sao Paulo in 2012 and now Lisbon in 2016.

Lots of others coming from much further away than me. Huge respect to the lads coming over from the US, Asia and Australia. :aok: I think there's a boy coming from Alaska! Amazing!

[Green Reaper]

Me Southside, mate I am going with Hong Kong

[PatHead]

Well done to those travelling a long way.

We have a bus going from the village will only take us an hour and a half.

Always admire the folk who come most weeks from Lancashire, Aberdeen and the likes.

I should say I do have a friend flying from Saudi for the game.

[Callum7]

I'm coming from a place called Edinburgh you might of heard of it:greengrin

[Hiber-nation]

Mussy via Leith and Bathgate.

[Hermit Crab]

Anyone who is travelling from abroad should start a spare ticket thread.

[Virginia Hibs]

Virginia, fly out of Richmond on Wednesday to Newark, flight to Edinburgh that night arrive Thurs morning.

People coming from a lot further than me though! [emoji1319]

Hibs are not just for Christmas! Glory, Glory!

Falkirk so I have a shorter journey to Hampden than most people.

True.
But you do have to return to Falkirk afterwards so respect.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Forfar. So that is for far.

If all goes to plan, my return to Falkirk might not be for a few days afterwards. :greengrin

Two from Leigh and one Warrington in our car (bloody trains knackered again).

[Bishop Hibee]

Back from the brink after Friday.

[Sergey]

I'm contented in the fact that I've facilitated tickets for some folks travelling from the USA, Canada and the Middle East that had no access to tickets. One poster even offered to buy two debenture packages, not use them, so he could simply meet with us after the match.

It is incredible the lengths folks go to (and I declined the cash and have offered our company FOC).

[Virginia Hibs]

My actual Hampden journey on the day will be from Kirrie so not too far far Forfar!

[Lancs Harp]

Travelling to Glasgow via the Harp and Castle bus, I'm arriving in Leith on Friday from Lytham St Annes.

Might never return home if we win.

I think we're all hoping for some kind of Promised Land on Saturday...

Up until this final, the club used to look after overseas people like that by guaranteeing them one ticket. Not any more, but I'm not sure why. Glad u could help some of them. :aok:

Probably because after the seven years or so there have been so many disappointed Hibbies emigrating to flee the pain and suffering, and there's thousands seeking tickets!:greengrin

Aside of Hibs List and the various incantations that became Hibs.net I got my first real appreciation of how Global and dedicated Hibs fans are when I was down in London around 97. There were guys that came to the meetings for as far afield as Dover and (probably more) two fanatical legends in my eyes - Pat and Alex heads up to every game home and away.

But the passion of the folks organising - Kev, Brian, Mike, Stuart and the other core members just showed me we that with the fans we have its a crying shame the football gods don't smile down on us more often.

not that far but I do have to cross a bridge.

Renfrew to Hampdump. Short journey and home quick when it all ends horribly

[Sproule Three]

I know there are 11 Hibees from Sydney - 5 on my flight !
I think there's at least 20 that I know of from Aus/NZ .
Spare a though for Ian from Dunedin who's already been on go for 9 hours before he makes the 25 hour trek from Sydney . Makes my trip seem like a commute -;)
Must be the furthest travelled Hibee at Hampden

[21.05.2016]

Fair play to those coming from Australia, America, New Zealand etc. Thats some effort :thumbsup::top marks


Wishing you all a safe journey over and hopefully you return home happy!

[DaveSo]

My brother is flying in from Kuala Lumpa on Thursday.
He couldn't bear to not be there if we win.

[Killiehibbie]

I think i'll be going in a taxi, couldn't put up with huns on bus or train.

[MoscowHibs]

Forfar. So that is for far.

Me tae. Always hae spare seats in the motor anytime ye want a lift doon. I travel to Moscow on the Sunday, then on to a place called Mineralnye Vody, 10 hour treck, so if we win the champers will hae to be put on ice, no flying with a sore nut, tho might indulge in British Airways and S7's finest malts.

[ALF TUPPER]

I'm coming from the depths of dispair ! :panic:

[StokePogesHibs]

Bringing my daughter from Arkansas. In 13 years she has never seen Hibs lose a match and probably been to 20 games in that time on trips home. This will be my 13th Final in Glasgow since 79 when I went to all 3 games. We can't be superstitious and looking forward to a fabulous 40 hours in Scotland before heading back home on Sunday.:flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag:

Spain . Incidentally longest ( in terms of time and maybe money ) will probably be Hibby who travels from southern Spain by train ( almost 2 days each way ) . I`ve been to every SC final since 1972 so couldn`t miss this one . Hopefully see us win this time but if not then this time next year .

[Diclonius]

Falkirk High-Queen Street, Central-King's Park. Easy.

[OsloHibs]

I'll be there, got a ticket! Cannot wait.

[Jamesie]

Managua, Nicaragua, after a few weeks of travelling. Booked up in January before the Hertz game and ensured I would land back into Edinburgh on match day morning just in case - glad I did now!

[flash]

Great thread to lift the spirits especially when there are posts on this forum from folk in Edinburgh saying they can't face it. They need to grow a set.

[haagsehibby]

From the Netherlands. In Thursday, back on Sunday (hopefully with a post win hangover) !

Got a mate coming over from Thunder Bay in Canada on Wednesday - he's here for 3 weeks. Got treated to a hospitality ticket for Saturday by the lush! Top man!

My mate is coming from Australia and he got an email from Dempster the other day guaranteeing him a ticket. He didn't have to take her up on it, but it shows the club are looking to guarantee overseas folk a ticket to the game.

Driving up from Suffolk on Friday after work. 7 hour drive back, Cup Final on Saturday, 7 hour back down the road at some point on Sunday!

[Bostonhibby]

Driving up from Lincolnshire again. One day I will see us win and not have the usual journey back. We make that many semi-final and final appearances it might be cheaper to move home to Edinburgh.

[WHAM]

The old boy is flying over from Chicago this afternoon.

He was already booked to come over in July and initially decided it was too much to come over for the final. A week of sleepless nights later and the realisation that he would regret it forever if we win, he knew he couldn't miss it.

That's only part of the story Gary. 5 hour bus trip from Dunedin to Christchurch to catch early morning flight to Sydney, then huge stop-over, hoping to catch up with fellow Hibs fan there for a beer or 3 at airport. Then on to Singapore, London and finally Glasgow, then hire car to my folks place. It will be all worth it when we lift the Cup.

Thanks to Ged on here for sorting tickets for me. Awesome guy and proves we are indeed a Hibs family, that look after each other.

Dunedin ( New Edinburgh) is at the bottom of New Zealand. Great place to live. Very Scottish, with places like Princess Street, suburbs called Corstorphine etc (which is pronounced differently). It is where the Scottish settled first in NZ, so has lots of Scottish roots.

We may travel far for one glory game (and unfortunately not now a play off final - which I had penciled in), but I always admire the Hibs fan that turns up week in and week out, travels away from home to support the team. We are all supporters, but you put the hard yards and money into the Club, even though most overseas supporters have international subscription to Hibs TV.

Whatever, we stand proudly together on Saturday to cheer on the 'only team worth supporting' as we battle for the Scottish Cup. We have a good chance if we keep our heads and play the football we know we are capable of. Let's start strong, finish strong and bang a few goals in between. Stubbsy will choose the best team he can, we need to back them all the way, even if we lose an early goal. We can beat Rangers and this is the day to prove that point again.

Yes thanks. Booked 10 minutes after the whistle of the semi-final. Take no chances when you are light on loyalty points;-)

Two hours west of the weege with my daughter. Was in the queue last Saturday morning at 0725 with the mother of all hangovers to get my ticket which I eventually did at 1150. Hello to any on here who also froze their balls off.

Because of what's happened every other time I've been to Hampden in May I can't get overly excited, although I probably will on Saturday morning when the Hibs cd gets blasted out. I was also going to book digs in Edinburgh but haven't done so, which probably means we'll win!

Looking like I wont get a ticket now tho. Whats the chances of picking a couple up outside?

Speaking as an American who grew up in a state just north of Virginia, nobody thinks Norfolk is the promise land.

Not only did you help me out with a ticket, you helped me out with TWO so I was able to persuade my old man to come with me. That's worth more than the cost of the tickets and travel.

I'm psyched for Saturday even though I'll be half asleep.

You might want to send me your address unless you want to be carrying a jar of BBQ sauce around all day. ;)

[HibsMax]

I know people are traveling from all over but if I'm honest, traveling back from Boston is a piece of cake compared to those of you going from Australia / New Zealand (and places near there). That's a massive ordeal, especially if you're doing JUST for the weekend.

Only travelling from Gilmerton, BUT............travelling to Glasgow airport early on Saturday morning to pick up my mate who is currently on Holiday in Florida but cutting it short to come back for the game, back to Edinburgh for about 9.00am, quick snack then to train station and hopefully get a train back to Glasgow about 10.45.

so approx 200 miles on the day
