Fans in Greece

[fife hfc]

Might be worth knowing the ground is maybe half an hour walk from town centre. I drove there this morning in about 10 there is a big car park at the back of it. Watch out for sheep on the road! Taxi rank opposite the Star Store.

Walked to it tonight and took twenty minutes if I wasn’t following google maps. No sheep but is almost the back of beyond.

Opened a couple of videos of Hibs fans in a bar last night singing a catchy new tune (well new to me) 'All i know is Hibs are on their way'

That's me buzzing already and still 12 hours to go.

[southern hibby]

Was in the James Joyce last night and heard two rumours first Kamberi May be out injured as he didn’t train yesterday.

Second there seems to be a big rumour going around that Maclaren is with the team in Greece. Obviously if true and I can’t know one way or another if it is, but he’ll not be able to play. So does anyone know anything about this or is it just bull manure?

Yep its true re Kamberi.Has knee injury.Did not train yesterday

We're still on Zante. Catching the 12.00pm ferry to the main land then meeting the others and driving to Tripoli.

I'm guessing we'll be there about 4.30.

For pre match food remember the souvlaki that they sell outside most Greek grounds, normally 1 euro a go and better than the crap pies we get offered here.

[WHAM]

Was told by a mate across there that some young local bams turned up in Tripolis last night trying to steal Hibs flags but were swiftly sent on their way. 😂

Enjoy the day everyone out there and let’s hope we get the result.

I have sons who walk faster and want to get there, while I wanted a leisurely stroll. My walking would have been 30 minuted and less sweaty😂

Good news for the team as it’s clouding over here in tripoli and got a bit cooler. Got told the weather has not been as hot this summer and they have had more rain than usual.Been roasting this morning. Anything that helps Hibs tonight.

I've saw the video, and it was filmed by Hibs fans, but I was told it wasn't towards Hibs fans, they just happened to be there, it was supposedly Greeks and Turks towards each other?

Think this is a European ultras tradition. Friend who was away with Rangers had the same issue the other week. Folk came in to the pub with balaclavas and bat's but were just after the flags.

[Pretty Boy]

Well done to all who travelled.

I think they had the mic turned down as the sound from both sets of fans was quiet but you could hear the Hibs fans for the full 90+ minutes and the backing sounded fantastic.

I’m going to do some begging, borrowing and maybe even stealing to get to Norway.

[Lancs Harp]

I would have loved to have been out there. Top effort to those who made it out there. How many Hibs fans made the trip do we know? Heard varying numbers.

[Andy Bee]

Just home myself, what a trip, my lad absolutely loved it and talking to another nice chap in Athens airport this afternoon his young lad was the same, as was another who I'd met earlier in the week in our hotel. Every one of them had grins from ear to ear when I asked about the game, I suppose that's what it's all about.

I've been deaf in one ear for four days now with no idea how it happened, I've also got a rather tender lump in my head from skelping it everytime I left the bus although I finally mastered the manoeuvre by the end of the night. There's also a good chance I'll be nursing a bout of double pneumonia after the drenching received waiting in the ticket que.

Special thanks to Deano and all the boys in his company along with the lads in The Stanley hotel they were all absolutely brilliant, it could've been quite intimidating when you're in these types of places on your own but we were welcomed in to their company, it really made the week so cheers folks.

Also another special mention to the singing section at the back of bus 2, if ever there's a non pc version of X Factor these boys are walking or skiing :greengrin it hands down, I don't know what was more funny, the songs or the apologies for going too far but that was some laugh. The highlight was an updated version of the Mercer song, absolutely brilliant but seriously tasteless :greengrin

Finally another top top special mention to Scott for arranging the buses, that was some shift you put in, top bloke and I'd guess you'll rarely have to put your hand in your pocket for another drink when on future trips, thanks a lot. :thumbsup:

So so many funny memories, the march up to the stadium when some bloke took over a passer byes car horn who unfortunately had his window down and then he jumps in the back of anothers pickup and proceeds to do the Hibee bounce, about ninety hibbys serenading two old ladies Tom Cruise style when they'd only came out to see what the commotion was :rotflmao: absolutely brilliant, well natured banter and the locals seemed to love it.

[Jamesie]

Had planned on meeting some of the guys in the Athens Sports Bar but in arrival to my hotel had a late lunch, put the head down for 30 mins and woke up this morning, 12 hours later! Must have needed it. Wee wander about Athens today and our to the airport super early. Flight delayed by 18 minutes so far, hopefully it doesn't lengthen.

Athens airport was absolutely heaving yesterday, it took and absolute age to get through passport control and I had two loud mouth Aussie birds behind who obviously felt they were too good to queue up and tried to skip it only to be swiftly collared by the border agent and put back in line with everyone else. It was quite funny and they weren't so loud mouthed after that. :greengrin

Would say there's somewhere between a dozen to two dozen obvious Hibbys on the Edinburgh flight leaving Athens in about 30 minutes. We must surely be the last hingers oan! A quieter group than 48 hours ago that's for sure!
