Display On Saturday

[Since1875Hibs]

We have organised a display in the North Stand for Saturday. After listening carefully to feedback, we've ensured the materials being used keep a restricted view to an absolute minimum, whilst it should still create a great spectacle - but only with your help.


The majority of supporters in the North Stand will have materials and instructions on their seat and our plea is for you and others around you to participate.


This display is entirely funded by supporters and it wouldn't have been possible without your ongoing donations. Details are noted at the footer of this message should you wish to make a small donation.


We'd like to take this opportunity to thank those who supported us in the East Stand over the weekend to prepare for this. After Friday's result, a lack of support in preparing would not have been a surprise, yet approximately 40 supporters made their services available over the weekend and put in a fantastic shift.


It's felt like an everlasting, rollercoaster of a season. Lets end it with a fantastic performance on and off the park on Saturday.

Well done and I look forward to taking part.

Great stuff, personally love the displays and think they look great. What is the display for Saturday?

Well done everyone involved.

Fair play to those involved. Feel these things have had their moment in the sun personally but each to their own.

Well done all the fans trying to build up a bit of enthusiasm for this :not worth

[RoYO!]

Flags? Cards? Secret? :)

[Swedish hibee]

I'm in the north! Look forward to taking part. Well done- I love displays in grounds :aok:

Entitled to your own choice, but making one without knowing what it is seems premature.

[StevieT]

Not really. I would rather clap and cheer the team on to the park rather than hold a bit of card up. I've nothing against those who want to do something like this but what I do object to is it being forced on those who don't want or like them.

[Callum7]

The cameras are going to zoom right in to you're non-participating face, but then again you're choice not mine.

Yep and pretty sure majority of feedback I've seen recently was that people didn't want another of these things.

[tamig]

Yep and pretty sure majority of feedback I've seen recently was that people didn't want another of these things.

I know. There was a thread a few weeks back and I'm sure the majority were happy to see the back of these. Not sure where the OP sourced his feedback from. Don't think it was from here.

[StevieT]

Yep and pretty sure majority of feedback I've seen recently was that people didn't want another of these things.

Not according to the OP who says 'after listening to feedback'. So, on Saturday when the teams come out the Sevco fans will be cheering, clapping and singing and half our support will be holding up bits of card to make up a picture / slogan which they won't see nor know what it is / says. I agree Andy74, most people don't want these.

[HTD1875]

All for this, look forward to taking part.

[Billy Whizz]

I'm in the North thanks but no thanks I won't bother.

It's great for the people on the TV, but if you've stick behind it, you can't see anything

[Hermit Crab]

I don't. Lot of nonsense.


You're at it. Why wouldn't you want to be a part of it?

The Sevco fans will have a display probably covering there whole support.

Glad im no in the north now. The display at the Celtic final was awesomeness.

[Billy Whizz]

It's not in your stand, can't see a bloody thing behind a card

[Hermit Crab]

It's not in your stand, can't see a bloody thing behind a card

Whats to see? the teams shaking hands before the game?

[Scouse Hibee]

You're at it. Why wouldn't you want to be a part of it?

You're at it, some folk just want to clap the team and enjoy the day as they choose,nothing wrong with that.

[EH54]

You're at it, some folk just want to clap the team and enjoy the day as they choose,nothing wrong with that.

Course your right I just think holding a peace of card up or waving a flag for 5 seconds while team comes out isn't much to ask and hope majority do take part as it will look awful if they don't

[Carheenlea]

I don't recall anyone really saying that they didn't want a display - more just a lack of real enthusiasm for having one. I include myself as one who feels that way, but I'm happy that a group of fans have took it on themselves to organise something. Now that one is planned, I'll have a good view from South Upper, and look forward to seeing it revealed.

[h1bee123]

Would rather not - don't think it'll motivate anyone and the cameras sometimes don't even show these things.

Flags in 2012 were the best I thought.

[gando]

It's great for the people on the TV, but if you've stick behind it, you can't see anything

Can garantee that will be able to both take part and see :)

[Forever_Green93]

can't see a bloody thing behind a card

Im pretty sure its waver flags this time, not card

[Since1875Hibs]

There will be no card.

[Andy74]

You're at it. Why wouldn't you want to be a part of it?

Why would I? These things are crap. Had their day and ruin the enjoyment of actually being at the game.

Why should people be part of something they don't want or like?

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Hahaha, a display debate - I've heard it all now.

I think some people should lighten up and just enjoy themselves ffs.

Sounds like the guys have put in some effort to back the team, well done I say.

:top marks

I think some folk are trying to enjoy themselves but other folk are asking them not to and hold a bit of paper up instead.

No ones asking anyone to hold up a bit of paper

[Danderhall Hibs]

Good news.

[SunshineOnLeith]

No ones asking anyone to hold up a bit of paper

Any chance you can tell us what we are being asked to hold up?

[Eaststandee]

Well done for organising this guys, look forward to seeing it. People ****ting on it because they have to be involved for 10 seconds, give it a rest.

Good grief if you've got nothing good to say...

:hmmm:

[Santa Cruz]

Good to hear this is happening - looking forward to Saturday.

[smack]

Hope this isn't being done for the tv cameras as they will be focussed solely on the The Rangers fans

[gegs70]

personally thought it looked pretty good on TV...with the display.

[OsloHibs]

Thank goodness that Ajax, Munich etc etc don't have some of the grumps we have! It's a spectacular game- just go with the flow & enjoy.

[wearethehibs]

People go on about wanting to clap & sing when the players come out. You think they would hear it?

There's always pyro & fireworks (the organised type) going off as the players come out in SC final.

looking forward to the display, even if it did obstruct my view of seeing some men run onto some grass.

[GreenLake]

I will try to participate but as I will be front loaded I'm not sure if I can follow the instructions. The idea of going to watch a game of football, and a cup final at that, without being able to have a few drinks is silly. No wonder people get hammered before the game. Prohibition never works.

[Pretty Boy]

Any chance we can keep this on topic rather than having a pop at another poster? A few of the usual suspects involved again as well I see and one of the most ridiculous 'yam' accusations yet.

[Biggie]

Thank goodness that Ajax, Munich etc etc don't have some of the grumps we have! It's a spectacular game- just go with the flow & enjoy.

Bet their wives love it when they go out to the football....deary me

[Callum7]

May I ask why some people aren't going to participate?

[bigwheel]

May I ask why some people aren't going to participate?

.....they can't pick up their flag due to their petted lip getting in the way [emoji6]

[flash]

A lot of people don't like the regimented aspect of these displays and prefer to enjoy watching the teams emerge on to the park.
Personally I don't like them and hate the blaring music and explosions too.
Let the fans be heard!

[Dinkydoo]

May I ask why some people aren't going to participate?
I had no idea that participating in a 30 second display could literally ruin someone's entire day....but, here we are.

I'm in the display section and I'm not all that excited about having one, but come the day I will be absolutely doing my part to help make sure it looks great.

[Albanian Hibs]

I wonder if its tshirts??

[Santa Cruz]

I heard that everyone's got to put a skirt on and wave pom poms about

[jws1875]

It's flags

[Nicho87]

I refuse to wave my flag. Seriously haha.

[ronaldo7]

Well done to the guys for organising this. I'll be in the South enjoying the view. The guys not wishing to participate could maybe identify their seats so a sour ploom could be placed on it prior to kick off.

Back the team. #weargreen

:flag:

[RIP]

Maybe we should have had smiley faces and torn-faced ones. People could have then made a personal choice- no?

[GreenCastle]

I'm in the North thanks but no thanks I won't bother.

Fun police.

Looking forward to seeing this and I hope all fans help for a few minutes - look up at the screens if players shaking hands is your thing.

Well done those who organised.

[Gatecrasher]

Look forward to seeing it, good luck.

[Carheenlea]

I propose a minutes applause straight from KO from the East and South in tribute to all those in the North who participate.

[Andy74]

Good grief if you've got nothing good to say...

:hmmm:
Doesn't really apply when we are being asked to do something and it may impact on the enjoyment of people who don't like these things.

A small number of people decided to try and impose this so we have a choice in being able to respond.

Can only assume this guy is fishing

[Andy74]

If you mean giving my view then yes.

The internet really has blunted some people's ability to take part in a conversation without reverting to strange terms to describe the views of others.

[EH54]

@Andy74

Don't think anyone is trying to impose anything on anyone so perhaps you should also try stop using strange terms to describe others views and suggestions

It's going ahead so it has been imposed. There was a thread not long ago about displays and most weren't in favour of doing them again as it took away from the atmosphere of actually being there. Might be nice to look at I'm sure.

It's not imposed if the thing asks you to take part, you have the free will to refuse and not take part.

Have a word with yourself.

[Since90+2]

Well done to everyone for taking the time to organise it.

You really have to laugh at the people complaining about it. Seriously get a grip.

[FranckSuzy]

If whether or not you should participate in a display on Saturday is the only thing that's worrying you then you're lucky! I can only assume there are some diversion tactics at play here as I wish it was the only thing I was thinking about with regards to the game....

FWIW, I enjoy seeing the displays and have supported them both financially and physically in the past but, if I'm honest, I'd rather 'just' clap my team on to the park. Also, as I'm in South, it doesn't affect me but good on those who are trying to inject a sense of occasion into the day :top marks

[Andy74]

I don't need to get a grip or have any word with myself but thanks to some for your suggestions on that front.

From recent discussions on this the majority of people didn't like them so I think you can expect there to be some comment from those that don't.

The 'if you don't like it just shut up' argument is the one that isn't helpful. It appears that those who want to continue these have taken that attitude and gone ahead anyway so I'm sure you will all enjoy it all the same whether you have one or two opposing views or not.

[Scouse Hibee]

It's not imposed if the thing asks you to take part, you have the free will to refuse and not take part.

But exercising that free will means you are fair game to be ridiculed and chastised on here?

[Ozyhibby]

These things last 30 secs FFS. Like singing Sunshine on Leith, it's a participation event. If you don't like the participation aspect of being in big crowds at big events, you should probably stay at home on watch on TV. You won't have to do a thing there that you don't want to.

Tend to agree personally thought the display for the Hearts final was brilliant.

[Alex Trager]

Jesus wept.

Imagine the audacity in THIS day and age of someone asking you to wave a flag whilst the team comes out!

How dare they!

Some folk have become so sensitive about the prettiest of things.

It's literally waving a flag. If that's going to ruin your day then I hate to see what you'll be like if we lose.

Or indeed if we win and people are waving flags in leith.

Stop taking yourselves so serious and participate, or don't, in what will make a good spectacle.

Deary me, never read so much patronising ****** in my life,just accept some people have different opinions and leave it at that.

[HappyHibby93]

Given that people have put time and money into making what will probably be a cool display, i don't understand why people would be so precious about lifting a card in the air for 30 seconds.

[HappyHanlon]

Wow.

We actually have some boring killjoys in our support

[DaveF]

3 more days to fret and make my mind up whether to wave or not. The tension will be unbearable when Saturday arrives.....

[cabbageandribs1875]

hope it looks good from my :sofa:

[Andy74]

Wow.

Actually what some are saying is that it's the displays that kill part of the pre game atmosphere. Not that everyone should sit on their hands.

So, nothing to do with killing any joy!

[Jonny1875]

Anyone have any Hibs stickers i can get off them on Saturday and plaster around Belfast? :greengrin:greengrin

[Alex Trager]

The tone is fitting with the bleating going on in this thread.

Totally agree people have different opinions.

[flash]

Some people get awfy precious about this.
I would rather leave the synchronization to opening ceremonies at Olympics and such like.
The teams coming out is a magic moment and should be seen and reacted to accordingly.

Andy, if you review my opening post you'll see we've taking feedback on board, which was mainly due to card. Nothing is being imposed on anyone, you all have a choice. We've politely asked for your support to which you've refused. Again, we respect your own personal choice.

I'd also call out that half a dozen posts on .net is not viewed as a majority. We've also discussed this with our group, section, the Hibeesbounce forum and a couple of branches where the overwhelming majority supported, and helped fund this display.

A very sensible and fair post, given some of the short, negative (and clearly intended to get a reaction) posts that have gone before it. The bit in bold is something I have been thinking throughout reading this thread. Such arrogance to claim that this should not have been done because a couple of posts on Hibs.net weren't all for it.

All the best for Saturday - I am sure it will look great from across the East :aok:

For anyone that is allergic to flags - I'll be happy to take yours home with me, should we win the game :aok:

[Andy74]

Not really. I'm generally okay at parties due to my ability not to make personal comments to our about people I don't know in the course of an ordinary conversation.

[scoopyboy]

I like the displays, they look good but am happy not to be part of it.

For me one of the most important bits of the cup final is seeing and applauding Hibs onto the park, this isn't possible when holding a card in front of one's face.

Still look forward to seeing it from South Upper though.:flag::flag::flag:

Thankfully, it sounds like it's not a card display.

I'm in the North Stand and, frankly, would prefer this wasn't happening at all but I'm not going to get precious over a wee flag which can pretty easily just be ignored.

[SpaceBob]

The cameras are going to zoom right in to you're non-participating face, but then again you're choice not mine.

Maybe he has a face fit for telly.

Seriously hoping that people have realised that those in the North want to stand and if they have bought tickets there will not be tapping people on the shoulder asking them to sit down. Safe standing areas are needed to end all the debate.

I thought you were being very brave until it dawned on me that that's my seat.

By the way, on Saturday, I'll be in the mood for handing out wads of cash, kissing strange men and telling hard men to shut their purty little faces. Just come to my seat (see above) if any of those take your fancy.

[CapitalGreen]

Well done to all those who have volunteered their time, effort and cash to this. Looking forward to taking part on Saturday. Still proud to #WearGreen

Just give the flag to the person next to you,boom done sorted :)

I wonder if these flags have green white and gold on them, then we can have a proper flag debate on the Monday after. :wink:

Hibs.net is not necessarily indicative of Hibs fans opinions. More don't post on here than do. Sorry if that's a shock to some.

[Pretty Boy]

Wasn't really fussed about a display but I'm in the North and if there's one happening I'll join in.

Still hope to see as many supporters groups etc as possible push the #weargreen campiagn as well. Hopefully Hibs will put something on the official site. Think after the display is done a whole end of Hampden all in green will look brilliant.

Yip thats true.
This is my first post (I think), always just read.
If you are watching on tv and see a wee space where there should be a card, that could well be me trying to watch the teams come out, line up etc
If I want a show or a spectacle I'll go to the theatre.
Sorry my first post is so negative, but there you go.

:agree: Not usually one for colours but have ordered a nice Hibby green jersey and dug out an old Hibs scarf from the 60s!

Hibs.net is not necessarily indicative of Hibs fans opinions. More don't post on here than do. Sorry if that's a shock to some.

It's not indicative of ALL fans' opinions of course but it's a pretty useful cross section. Still, this is where this is being discussed just now.

Unless you are going to ask every fan then whatever groups you speak to will equally be not indicative of what everyone thinks.

Yip thats true.
This is my first post (I think), always just read.
If you are watching on tv and see a wee space where there should be a card, that could well be me trying to watch the teams come out, line up etc
If I want a show or a spectacle I'll go to the theatre.
Sorry my first post is so negative, but there you go.
Cheers A

Poke some eye holes in the card:aok:

Think it's flags so you'll be fine

[blackpoolhibs]

If theres a piece of cardboard or a flag on my seat, i will hold it up or wave it.

Iv'e seen Hibs come out the tunnel at Hamden before.

and if anyone misses it the first time they will come out the tunnel again around 4pm.

north stand
section D2
row AA
seat 46


I thought you were being very brave until it dawned on me that that's my seat.

By the way, on Saturday, I'll be in the mood for handing out wads of cash, kissing strange men and telling hard men to shut their purty little faces. Just come to my seat (see above) if any of those take your fancy.

maybe its section C2 then :flag:

I'm just going to glare at it in disdain. Not planning on sitting down so it can remain undisturbed. I don't know if the Rangers fans Im taking with my spare tickets will join in or not.

[Waxy]

Not really. I'm generally okay at parties due to my ability not to make personal comments to our about people I don't know in the course of an ordinary conversation.

You dont know Alan Stubbs but you want him to lose his job. That's quite personal?

Yes that's just the same.

[DaveF]

A very sensible and fair post, given some of the short, negative (and clearly intended to get a reaction) posts that have gone before it. The bit in bold is something I have been thinking throughout reading this thread. Such arrogance to claim that this should not have been done because a couple of posts on Hibs.net weren't all for it.

All the best for Saturday - I am sure it will look great from across the East :aok:

For anyone that is allergic to flags - I'll be happy to take yours home with me, should we win the game :aok:

Can I just point out that hibs.net as a site isn't banning fun, just before it becomes FACT :greengrin

[Johnny Clash]

I always remember when Scotland played at Wembley in the 70s and all you could see was a sea of Scotland flags all over the terraces. Players get a lift from that sort of thing as do most supporters I would reckon. It helps generate atmosphere. So to see the same effect with Hibs flags on Saturday would be great. If someone prefers not to wave a flag then simply pass it on to someone who does. No big deal.

I appreciate the effort put in to organising this by volunteer supporters ... so a big thanks from me!!

[tamig]

Seriously hoping that people have realised that those in the North want to stand and if they have bought tickets there will not be tapping people on the shoulder asking them to sit down. Safe standing areas are needed to end all the debate.
I prefer standing myself. However, is this an official stance that the North will be standing only on Saturday and everybody who's in there doesn't want to sit? I think your comments are maybe a bit wide of the mark.

[GreenLake]

I would like to see something like this (https://vimeo.com/141447156) but substitute green for red and English for Spanish.

I will be taking a video of our display on Saturday while waving a green flag.

hows his english?:wink::greengrin

[HappyHanlon]

Actually what some are saying is that it's the displays that kill part of the pre game atmosphere. Not that everyone should sit on their hands.

So, nothing to do with killing any joy!

Jeezo. Grow up.

[Andy74]

Jeezo. Grow up.

Grow up. Wow, you got me there. I'll get on with that.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Is there honestly 154 posts debating this [emoji85][emoji23] You'd think we all had nothing else to worry about as Hibs fans haha

[Since1875Hibs]

Thanks for all the donations made so far, genuinely appreciated.

Not much chance of standing on your own on Saturday unless you get in to the ground really early or stay after about 4.15pm

[SouthMoroccoStu]

We have organised a display in the North Stand for Saturday.

They're going to be worth ££££ after we win it. along with jars of air, drops of rain and chunks of turf. Prepare for an epic day :thumbsup:

[GreenArmyyy!]

Not according to the OP who says 'after listening to feedback'. So, on Saturday when the teams come out the Sevco fans will be cheering, clapping and singing and half our support will be holding up bits of card to make up a picture / slogan which they won't see nor know what it is / says. I agree Andy74, most people don't want these.

That's not true though is it..... The Rangers have a huge display planned for the West stand on Saturday.

[Onion]

Maybe a list of the creditors they defaulted in 12 point ?

[GreenCastle]

Yup..taken from the Union Bears Facebook..

The Union Bears have a large display planned for Saturday's Scottish cup final.
All supporters in sections A4-B4 in the West Stand will find an item under their seat. If this effects you then we'd ask that you hold this item up as the first Rangers player emerges from the tunnel.
If this display receives full participation then we truly believe that it will be one of our best displays to date.
If you would like to make a donation towards future displays then you can do so by going through the following link:

Thank you for your continued support.

Do the guys behind this have a name they go by? Or is it a few mates clubbing together to put something in place?
The reason I ask is for nothing more than curiosity! I`ll be in Upper South so will have a grandstand view of the display.

[Swedish hibee]

Well done everyone involved. I'm looking forward to it, whatever it is!
