Scottish Youth Cup Finals Involving Hibs

[Bishop Hibee]

I looked them up on wiki and it turns out I've been to all the finals we've appeared in. Have to say, I don't remember much of the 0-0 v Dundee Utd apart from the penalty shoot out. The 2-0 defeat at Tannadice saw more Hibs fans in the ground than Utd. Good 2000 there with many getting in late due to the lack of turnstiles open. The 2-0 victory v Ayr Utd was a record final crowd if I recall correctly. Around 7000? Thoroughly enjoyed beating The Rangers at Hampden although it's scary that it was 9 years ago. Here's hoping for the double a week on Thursday :flag:

I was at the Ayr semi, doon there in Ayr! my mate's nephew played in a great young side for Ayr. (cant remember who they beat) but the final was against us at ER. My Hibs supporting mate somehow wanted Ayr to win, in support of his nephew but soon changed ideas when we took centre stage and won. we also had a supporter's bus through to Hampden to see oor laddies beating that govan mob. superb.

I think I was at the Ayr one as well, was it Colin McDonald and Kevin Harper that scored for us?

I was at the two legged affair with Celtic, early 80’s. Seem to recall a few scuffles in the Celtic main stand.

I think that was a reserve league cup final

I was at the rangers one. Kurtis byrne scored off his shoulder with last kick of extra time iirc. Mini huns were ragin

What was the crowd at Hampden in 2009, admittedly there would be a quite a few Rangers fans
Any idea how many Hibees went?

[Bishop Hibee]

I’d have said 1500-2000 Billy.

My recollection is over 4,000 and more Hibees than huns in autendance. GGTTH

Thanks. Wonder how many we’ll take next week, 2,000 or so on a Thursday night would be great
