How many times have you had your hands on the Scottish Cup since May?

[Carheenlea]

The Persevered Cup tour has quite simply been an extraordinary initiative by the club, taking the cup round supporters clubs, sports clubs and schools, giving thousands of fans the opportunity to admire what was our Holy Grail close up, and for many I'm sure, numerous different opportunities to gaze longingly at it again!
I've had the hands on it four times - official club photo, Time for Heroes film launch, Hibs.net Persevered Tour and on a Persevered Tour at a local school when arrangements were made to take a 95 year old lifelong Hibs fanatic along to see it. With the cup being taken to the Hibs Kids Panto next week, I'll be up to five, so I think I'm doing pretty well!
How's everyone else faring? :greengrin

[NAE NOOKIE]

Just the once, when Hibs brought it along to Gala Fairydean Rovers .... its heavier than it looks :greengrin

[DaveF]

Twice for me :-)

[Pretty Boy]

Twice.

Once at the .net night and once down at East Mains where I was like a starstruck teenager because I got to get my picture taken with the cup and David Gray.

[hibs0666]

Kissed it on two separate occasions now.

I'm in love :thumbsup:

[Just Jimmy]

None. Not a single date worked for my work for the photo shoot and I've not been able to find out where to see it on the tour. I thought Fife was supposed to be included? Have I just missed it?

Lucky enough to have had my grubby mitts on it four times. If I could manage another 8 somehow it'd make a great calendar.

[lyonhibs]

Once. The photoshoot after the Dundee Utd game miraculously coincided with a trip home for a stag.

Well chuffed so I was. It's a thing of beauty

[hibee_girl]

Twice, the official photo and at the .net night at east mains.

[Hermit Crab]

Just once and thats enough. Don't get the folk that have to touch it, kiss it, hold it at every opportunity.

[JohnMcM]

Purely out of interest.

Who can tell us this. Who was the first hibs supporter to have their photo taken with the cup after 21/5/16?

I'd have been more than happy to just have experienced the once, but to pass up the opportunity to do so again would have required a stronger will than mine!

Anybody can touch the Scottish Cup. I can lay claim to having touched, worn and kissed 5 Hibernian Scottish Cup WINNERS medals. Na na na na na :-)

[Alex Trager]

Five times for me :)

[Alex Trager]

He could argue that he is busy riding and all of those with five touches of the trophy - me - need a ride.



Just a thought ;)

[blackpoolhibs]

None. :boo hoo:They don't appear to have any opportunities to have your picture taken on a Saturday.

[GreenArmyyy!]

Five times, one medal around my neck and lifted it once! What a feeling!

[Silver Fox]

I paid to get my photo taken with it and enjoyed the experience but I was off work on holiday last week and made a concerted effort to try and catch up with it on the persevered tour, I had seen on the website it listed as being at Livingston village on the Tuesday and Four in hand on the Thursday.

I emailed the contact us page and asked for more clarification where and when it could be seen on either of these two stops on the tour but still haven't had a reply.

I phoned the number on the website which turned out to be Hibs reception desk, the lady on the phone was nice, she said she had no idea but would try and find out and call me back, she did call me back but was to say she was unable to find out anything for me.

I tweeted Hibs official and separately to the supporter on the board and never had a reply from either of them but watched on twitter with interest nice photo's as it continued on it's tour but resigned myself to not getting the pleasure of seeing it at close hand again unfortunately and fully admit to being slightly envious of the posters who have had multiple encounters with the famous trophy.

None, but I'm ok with that. Just glad I was there on the day!

[Mr White]

Just the once at easter road with my boy on the glorious 12th of July. There was no way I was staying in NI for that day anyway but what better alternative than standing in the famous five concourse with our paws on the Scottish Cup

:flag:

[jgl07]

Twice.

Once at Easter Road for the photo session and once at the Jewel Miners Welfare Club.

[Scouse Hibee]

Never,have touched every major trophy in English and European football and been photographed with them but touching the Scottish Cup wouldn't bring any added value to me. I was there on the day we won it, that experience was priceless nothing else matters

2 times I've actually touched it. 4 times I've had photos with it. At hospitality and one of the Scottish cup parties it wasn't allowed out of the Perspex box. Going to see it again on Monday tho. I wonder who the guy is that's trying to have 114 different pictures with it is.

[fat freddy]

Been too busy, still haven't had the pleasure, hopefully do the deed over the Xmas holidays if possible. Are any dates / venues in the pipeline?

[Albanian Hibs]

Twice at different photo sessions at ER
Once at the .net night at the Jewel Miners
Once at Inch park community centre with Darren McGregor (and I got to kiss both of them!)

So 4 times!!

[JeMeSouviens]

You're all really at zero. The real thing is safely tucked up at Hampden. :wink:

[Andy74]

Have had no desire to go near it since seeing it during the parade. I didn't win it so don't really need my photo taken with it.

[Itsnoteasy]

None, but I'm ok with that. Just glad I was there on the day!

[hibby6270]

Twice.

Official photo session and also on a stadium tour.

[Jones28]

Once at the viewing of Time For Heroes, and that will do me 💚

Quote of the week Brian, subtle as a brick as ever.

I daresay I dived in with two feet on that one. Apologies, HC. But you really are a miserable sod.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

For the purpose of the thread, I've never touched it. I didn't even see us lift it as I was crying like a bairn.

I don't need to touch, knowing that we won it is more than enough for me.

[lyonhibs]

None, but I'm ok with that. Just glad I was there on the day!

I'm one up on you in terms of touching the thing, but what I wouldn't have given to have been there on 21.05..................

[southsider]

4 times. ER shoot with my brothers and nephew. Lewis Stevenson dinner with my family. Pic with Lewis at same dinner. Pic with my mrs in games room at Hibs Club. Got pictures of the all.

How's everyone else faring? :greengrin

Just to emphasise how terrific this Cup tour has been, the elderly lifelong Hibernian fanatic we took along has sadly now passed away. She was not fit enough to travel to Easter Road to see the trophy, but this tour enabled her to embrace the trophy in our home town. Her family said she never talked about anything else in the days before and after her visit, and it was her to be her last outing in a long life.

4. I'll wait for the next one.

[Juice-Terry]

Sorry, didn't read the whole thing, but Amit told me at the St Pat's do at the Hibs Club tonight that some dude has made it his mission to attend all 114 Persevere events. So if he completes his mission his answer to the OP will be 114.

They're now aiming for 228 events on the tour before it stops next month. They've already surpassed the 114 originally intended. The story I think you're referring to is the fan who is trying get 114 photos with the cup.

[jodjam]

Carrick Knowe bowling club on Tuesday. As it's close by to the house I will pop along for another fumble

[Sir David Gray]

Just the once during the photoshoot back in June.

That was enough for me, couldn't actually believe it was happening at the time.

Yes, that's probably it - at 114 different locations.

[Gingertosser]

Never had a photo with the cup....yet.

Getting it today...in 1.5 hours.

Excited doesn't cover it :flag:

Not that it needed any justification, but had it done so, this one outcome alone would have justified it.

What Hibs have done in undertaking this tour is amazing and has helped bring people and communities together.

The goodwill of all involved in organising the individual events in ensuring that everyone who wanted to see and touch the cup got to and especially from the club, its employees and directors gladdens your heart.

I have never been prouder to be a Hibs supporter.

None. None of the photo dates coincided with the dates I was back over since the final. Just bad luck, that's all. I e-mailed to ask about the possibility of getting one on a couple of different weekends I was back home and going to ER - it wasn't an official photo day, but I said I would use my own camera and explained I lived overseas...I offered to pay normal price etc. but nothing came of it. I am okay about it though. For me, after so many heartbreaks, and like everyone else after a lifetime of supporting Hibs, for me, it was 100% about being there at the game when it happened. As long as I could experience it, I could die happy. The fact that I was there, and that I lived to see it was what mattered to me. It has been great to see so many people looking so happy with the cup, and the Persevered tour is a wonderful idea.
