Sick of the the glory euro threads, what about 1980 home match against East Stirlingshire in the old first division, 2 - 2, a Willie Jamieson double I wis there along wi 3500 others!

Remember the day we won 3-0 against Partick at firhill in 2002.

Remember being up in Arbroath in the old first division...... Probably about 1975ish....... Behind the goals first half....... Moved to behind the other goals for the second half by waking across the pitch..,,,, remember schoolboy humour and pissing myself laughing because it was called Gayfield.....

Any highlights? :cb

[HoboHarry]

I remember Hibs playing Elgin City in a pre-season friendly donkeys years ago. Pat Carroll had a great game then didn't get a sniff at the first team again. My then next door neighbour - an old lady called Peggy - worked at the hotel they stayed at and was tasked (for financial reward of course) of discreetly getting rid of the empty beer bottles every morning..... :agree:

Me too!


One of the things that sticks out in my mind about that season was that the home crowds were absolutely rotten, but the away attendances were incredible, usually about 3 times the normal home gate for whatever team we were playing.

For instance, we got 3.5k for that home game then played in front of over 5k at Hamilton the following week, with at least 1.5k Hibbies in attendance

[Jack]

Pah!

I can remember turning up at Easter Road in the 70s when I didn't realise we were playing away!

I was a wee bit late so wasn't surprised by the lack of fellow fans to start with. I even knocked on a few turnstile doors!

I was some crowd :-(

[Hibs1969]

November 1974. As a youngster I bussed it from Wester Hailes to ER in torrential rain for the game v Morton. I left at halftime after a goalless first half during which i got absolutely soaked. By the time I got home Hibs had won 5-0. Them were the days. ☔️💦

[PeeJay]

Good thread: - Liverpool, Leeds, Naples, Juventus, Sporting LIssabon, Porto - it was oK for a while, but East Stirlinghwhatsit would have been something special .... missed that :greengrin

Remember a Brechin pre season friendly 1984ish. 0-0

[HibbyDave]

Deveronvale away for Des Bremner. Met Alan Gordon in Gateside Inn on the way.

[ACLeith]

April 1969. St Johnstone at Muirton Park. Went with my dad got in 5 minutes after KO. no real excitement in crowd so didn't bother asking the score. We scored the "only" goal do bought a Pink News to read about our win. Read that Saints had scored 2 in first 3 minutes!

Think it was Gordon Marshall (Senior) first game for us

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Preseason at Raith rovers under Yogi. Farcical Epic Monsoon conditions with a failed floodlight thrown in.
Allowed time to get majority of the pies sold and called it off.

Remember the pitch invasion in the Isle of Man in 1987 when Kano put us seven nil up against their select X1?

[Brunswickbill]

January 85 IIRC, virtually all games were cancelled but Easter Road had under soil heating and Hibs hastliy arranged a friendly with celtic. Hibs won6-3 and Ally Brazil scored a hat trick.

But we're you at thee away game at Firs Park that finished 1-1, seem to remember ground was packed and the linesman got hit by a bottle !

1968 Scottish Cup away to East Stirlingshire. I was behind one of the goals and was so close to the pitch that I think I may have saved a shot from the East Stirlingshire centre forward.

[jgl07]

I was at that match for some of the time. I had been working in London and flew back from Stansted. The plane was delayed and despite getting a taxi to Easter Road it was getting on for half time when I arrived. I heard a roar and assumed that Hibs had scored.

I then found that all the turnstiles were shut. I had arranged for my son aged around 11 to make his own way there and said I would meet him in the old family section in front of the main stand. I eventually found a gate open and gained admission but in the North Stand. I found a route down to the paddock and found my son.

The half I watched was as bad a match as I have ever seen.

Away to Cowdenbeath in the cup in the early 90s. A 0-0 blockbuster :greengrin

I remember Cowdenbeath had what looked a great shout for a penalty turned down in the closing minutes too. That's about all I remember on what was a rather drunken day. Somehow got on the wrong train afterwards and ended up in Stirling.

Anyone remember Hugh Hamill? I recall being at a sparsely attended League Cup group game v Alloa (I think) around 1979/80 and he scored our goal in a 1-1 draw. Broke his leg in his next game and never played for Hibs again as far as I can recall.

I remember Hugh Hamill, think it was 80/81 first division season where we also had Terry Wilson who I remember scoring in 2-2 draw at Somerset Park in League Cup

Missed that game but was at the away fixture, just remember it was my third away game in a row after Ayr and Stirling and Firs Park put me off going along to any more for a bit 😁

he's the manager of vale of leven.

[BH Hibs]

I remember a home match v St Mirren around 1990 missed the train in, got soaked running down to ER, got in missing the first 5 mins to get told we were one down Torfasson I think. It must've been the only shot in the game which was dire. I also remember that the fans could've had a game in the east that day it was that quiet. The good old Miller must go days.

I was there. IIRC, we were 0-2 at half time but came back to win 3-2. Little did I realise that would be quite typical of Hibs.

(Before I get banned for noising everyone up , I have an ER ST a have been attending ER for over 30 years!)

[heretoday]

Summer of 1967 and I was on holiday with a pal and his parents at Dirleton caravan site. We travelled into Edinburgh for a pre season friendly against Newcastle in bright sunshine. McNamee was playing for Utd and it finished goalless.
Back at the caravan I fell ill with the flu but no one believed me. They thought it was "growing pains". Typical ignorant 60s diagnosis.

I remember it well. Cowdenbeath were denied a stonewall penalty late in the game. We murdered them 1-0 in the replay though.

I was there too. It was quite an exciting game as I recall. Just looked up the wiki for that season as I would have sworn blind it was 3-3. Shocked to see the average home attendance was only around 3500! Highest crowd at ER in the league was 8,071.

I was probably there went to almost all the games that season home and away. Falkirk at Brockville just before Christmas santa got abused and the Falkirk fans got chased onto the pitch.Away to Berwick was our new year derby but I cant remember if it was that game or the one in the cup shortly after when the wall collapsed and about 40 hibbys got injured?

Home to Cowdenbeath in the League Cup 1985. Crowd 3000 and only one side of the stadium was open. We won 6-0 though!

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Were you one of the 180 midweek fanatics attending the match as Inverness.

December 1980, Scottish Cup home tie against The Pars, we drew 0-0 in front of 6,500

Played them in the reply on the following Wednesday in front of 8,500, about half of which were Hibbies!


The away leg was our third highest attendance that season. The highest was away to Rangers and second highest away to Raith.

The wall collapse was the previous season, 79/80, when we played them in the Cup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979%E2%80%9380_Hibernian_F.C._season#Scottish_Cup ) (drew 0-0)

November 1972. A 3-2 away win at Arbroath. Freezing and the waves from the sea coming over the dilapidated stand that we were housed in.

Depressing or what. Good job we won.

[pennyhibee]

Remember a League Cup game on a Wednesday night .One of the wettest nights I can remember .Me and my uncle were about the only ones on the East .The ball went out of play and I scrambled halfway up the terrace to retrieve it .When I came back down ,there was our full back Chris Shevlane soaked to the skin ,happily sitting on the white wall chatting to my uncle They were great nights ....when you were back at the house Beat EAST fIFE 2-1

[eastterrace]

August to December and March until the end of the season looked like a right giggle that year I must say.

[jodjam]

What about the not so famous trip to Bury, two days before Oldham away. 22 of us in the away end. We nearly got thrown out of our B&B for being a bit loud. We were reminded there wasn't many other places to stay if we were booted out. Happy days.
