Hottest Hibs game...

[Wembley67]

So with the weather being a bit tasty, what's the hottest hibs game you've been to? European matches are allowed!

For me it was a game in the terracing at east end park, it might have been back in the season we were relegated, 98 maybe? The majority of the pub were burnt to buggery with quite a few folk passing out or nearly passing out with the temperature....great times!

On a side note a non hibs fan brought his wife into the pub who had just got married and in full wedding attire, you cab imagine the songs! I'm sure it was in Thirsty Kirstys which was a **** hole so don't really know what was going on there 😀

Dundee Utd away, 1st game of the season 2003-04 springs to mind right away. We were in the front row. http://www.ihibs.co.uk/hibs/game.php?gameid=9075

I'm sure for a period the first game of the season was always roasting as well...

[OxoHibby]

There was a lot of sunburn in Copenhagen for the brondby game

[skipster7]

The Souness game. Scorchio:agree:

[calumhibee1]

Berwick Rangers away pre season was pretty roasting about 6 or 7 years ago.

Cowdenbeath in the Championship away a few seasons ago :duck:

[Bishop Hibee]

The Souness game. Scorchio:agree:

That's the one that sprang to mind for me. Scorchio. I remember the game when Goram scored against Morton at the end of the season being pretty warm too.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Dunfermline 1st game of the season @ EEP - 3-3 wasnae too chilly. Daugavpils away too.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Last game of last season against St Mirren was pretty toastie!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Morton away the week after the Pars 3-3 game wasnae too chilly either!

I was thinking Berwick pre season too. If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was Stubbs first or second game in charge. Sir David scored as I recall

[Nameless]

The first derby of the Romanov era. The game was at Tynecastle, we lost 4-0. Hearts were genuinely unplayable that day. I was obscenely drunk, and the only things I remember from that day were a flare being thrown onto the pitch and the fact that it was hotter than the Sun sitting in the Roseburn.

Friendly in Gibraltar was pretty hot!

[we are hibs]

The cup final was boiling all game where I was sat. Was in the north stand and 2nd row and the heat in the second half was ridiculous

[Baldy Foghorn]

Dinaburg away

[Brooster]

Dinipro Away. Had to keep drinking ice cold pints of Stella at 12p each to keep my fluids up.

[BoomtownHibees]

Glentoran in Belfast #scorchio

[Bristolhibby]

Cup Final v Celtic in 2001. Such a hot day. Was in the stand with the Perspex roof and felt like an ant under a magnifying glass.

[MartinfaePorty]

Not the warmest, but for the time of year remarkable. A midweek game v St Johnstone in very late October where I sat very comfortably with a t shirt on for the whole 90 minutes. Think there was a freak weather front that meant people on the south coast of England were still sunbathing on 1st November. If I remember correctly it started pishing down when I was in Robbies after the game and that was the start of winter in Scotland!

Was it not dark ha ha

[Stuart93]

The 3-2 game at Easter road v the rangers when gunnarson scored the winner was very decent weather...as was the cup final actually.

[Topographic Hibby]

Last game of last season against St Mirren was pretty toastie!Eh no!!! My mate won us some comps and we were in amongst the squad and injured players (Hanlon & McGeouch etc).

High up in the West, it was freezing!!! Was glad during the celebration bit when they fired off they pyro-things....got me warmed up bit!! :greengrin

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I almost remember drinking copious amounts of cheap bevvy, overly warm at the game not so much.

[Mr White]

Glenafton in Belfast #scorchio

Glentoran? Glenafton play in Ayrshire.

[BS44]

Aston Villa at Villa Park sometime in the 80s and also Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park 1988.

[BoomtownHibees]

Glentoran? Glenafton play in Ayrshire.

Aye

[overdrive]

There was a home game a few years ago that was fairly hot... probably not the hottest but it was in November! I remember folk going to the match in shorts and t-shirts. It was probably around the same temperature as today maybe even a wee bit warmer.

[IDHibs]

Morton away the week after the Pars 3-3 game wasnae too chilly either!

King Pat as i recall erstwhile HH my bovver boy braces snapped ..the Dunfie game is my reference:confused:

[IberianHibernian]

One of the Derbies at Tynecastle where we got a very late equaliser in 70s ( ? ) was very hot . Not the one where King Paddy scored but one about 2 years later . Think it was Gerry O`Brien ( before he was sent off ) who scored . 2001 cup final was hot . Hottest I remember was away to Morton in late 80s - was first Hibs match my Spanish girlfriend ( now wife ) went to and she was amazed to see so many topless fans ( Hibs fans were behind goal which at that time was uncovered ) . Every other time I`ve been to Cappielaw it`s been wet and miserable . Likewise in Paisley - hot day at Love Street for 3 v 3 draw in pre season Anglo Scottish Cup tie at about same time . Pre season friendly v Inverness Caledonian before merger with IT was also hot .
Of games mentioned so far I agree with all ( 2001 final , Morton when Goram scored , Sounness / McCluskey game , Sevilla friendly at home - return match was almost delayed by a day cause of near monsoon ,..) but there don`t seem to be any recent matches presumably because there`s more shade in all - seater stadium .
Future threads about wettest and coldest will be longer I suppose . Windiest ?

[frazeHFC]

Falkirk semi final (1-0 defeat) was roasting. Hadn't been to bed yet from the night out the night before and was unbelievably dehydrated standing in the sun at front near the half way line. Worse thing is they charged a couple of quid for tap water before the head steward found this out and told the staff they had to give it out for free.

[SteveHFC]

Dnipro away and Glentoran away.

[Barnton Hibs]

So with the weather being a bit tasty, what's the hottest hibs game you've been to? European matches are allowed!

For me it was a game in the terracing at east end park, it might have been back in the season we were relegated, 98 maybe? The majority of the pub were burnt to buggery with quite a few folk passing out or nearly passing out with the temperature....great times!

On a side note a non hibs fan brought his wife into the pub who had just got married and in full wedding attire, you cab imagine the songs! I'm sure it was in Thirsty Kirstys which was a **** hole so don't really know what was going on there 😀

You've got a good memory lol

Was that in 2011 when we won 3-2? I think it was a Wednesday in late September. Freakishly hot; remember getting back to my car after the game (so around 10pm) and the outside temperature garage said it 23C.

Can't remember the beers name we were drinking, it was braw though, had to try numerous cases of the stuff just to be sure, best Hibs trip for me even if we did get pumped

It's about the only thing I do remember Willie!

Nah, it was in the 80's just before Mickey went to Luton.

[Jones28]

Last season against Falkirk when keatings scored the winner. I was down at the front of the east in a jumper with nothing else underneath and I was roasting. It was around early April I'm sure and we still had a bit of cold weather but I was sweltering.

[Rocky]

I'm hopeless at remembering games so I'll probably have most of this wrong but I remember a game at the end of a season when we got moved out of East terracing (think it must have been when they were installing the seats in East?). Think it might have been against Kilmarnock and I remember sprawling on the bench in North in glorious sunshine.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Vetra Vilnius away was a bit on the hot side.

[bigwheel]

Vetra Vilnius away was a bit on the hot side.


Lovely day, beautiful city and a depressing performance that...start of the Mowbray era - I left thinking "this could be a miserable season" - how wrong I was!

[SChibs]

Falkirk last year when keatings scored in the last minute

[WeeRussell]

I got sunburnt at the cup final.

Or were they grass burns :hmmm:

[BullsCloseHibs]

Newcastle utd at ER (1984?) testimonial game was a hot affair

[Iggy Pope]

Thought I was going to melt in Vilnius. Just ended up melted. Same at the Dinaburg game. The ****ing stench in those bogs!!!!!!!

I tried to have a few pints after that game at East End Park but very quickly realised I was suffering from sunstroke. That was the worst I have seen it.

[lord bunberry]

I remember the season after we were relegated in 98. We played a game at Firhill in the league cup before the league season had started. Me and my mate both had sunburn on our faces after the game. I think it might have been against Hamilton who were playing there at the time as we were in the big stand that the home fans are usually in.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Dnipro away and Glentoran away.

Remember Dnipro being a glorious afternoon in the square & down by the river, sure it was a bit chilly by the time of the game at night though?

Seem to recall the Nrn Irn pr season tour in 1995 was during a heatwave - I was working over there and stayed in the 3 chimneys hotel in Glengormley as norm - team and officials there too - great time was had !
