Aberdeen Away

[DavidDavidGray]

Was wondering what pubs are best for Hibs fans to go to before the game this Saturday? Heading down to Aberdeen for the first time.

Any of the pubs on or just off union street are ok. Old School house is decent, so is the The Prince of Wales pub which I'm sure has one of the longest bars in Scotland.


Bare in mind we only take 1000 or so to Aberdeen so bumping into large groups of Hibbys before and after the game isn't a common thing.

[Pretty Boy]

North East Hibs have organised something in the Butchers Arms on George Street the last few times, not sure if they have anything planned this time.

If not the Saltoun Arms is 10-15 minutes walk from Pittodrie and ok for away fans.

City centre is only 20 minutes or so walk from Pittodrie though so you have your pick. As said above the Prince of Wales could be a shout, really good pub and the food is quality.

[Ringothedog]

We usually go the old Blackfriars over the road from the weathespoons. Usually a few Hibs fans in there

[1van Sprou7e]

Butcher's arms is usually full of hibees

[Brooster]

Butchers Arms is the base for North East HSC and is normally bouncing before the game. That's where I'm heading.

[Carheenlea]

One place to avoid would be The Snuggery.

Not because it’s an Aberdeen pub or a potential trouble spot or anything, but simply because it’s one of the worst pubs, and most bizarre I’ve ever been in. A clientele who do not appear of this world. In saying that, if the evening crowd is anything to go by I might actually be tempted to look in to compare that with their lunchtime patrons for research purposes.

Lived in Aberdeen for six years in the 90’s - The Prince of Wales is a quality pub indeed

[Pretty Boy]

Lived in Aberdeen for six years in the 90’s - The Prince of Wales is a quality pub indeed

I lived there 2004-2010.

Worked part time in the stock room in Next when it was in the St Nicholas Centre. Prince of Wales every working day for a pint and lunch with the other guys. Steak pie, chips and beans was always a highlight.

Just a decent no nonsense boozer.

Tickets seem to be selling well, only 300 or so left

I see from website that we only got allocated 1100. Just selling the two covered sections I assume?

We will get section P (uncovered section) to sell if we sell out the current allocation. Section P is always a reduced price as well due to having no roof.

Yeah, section P is always sold last if we sell out the initial sections Q and R.

Not much chat about this game with the focus obviously having been on the cup, but this is absolutely massive

Win it and we resign Aberdeen to the bottom 6 (and potential relegation!), lose and we'll be struggling to make top 6 ourselves

[emoji817]. Biggest game of the season now ….critical we don’t lose it

[1van Sprou7e]

Looking for 2 tickets for Saturday if anyone has spare for sale 👍

They're still on sale I believe

[Stokesy's on fire]

Looking for one adult ticket but I live in Aberdeen area so I can't pop to the ticket office to collect one so if anyone has a spare they want rid of. i would happily meet them before the game and buy.

[Jones28]

This is a big big game for our season.

Would be so good to win and consign them to the bottom 6.

[Unseen work]

We really need to win this.

Two goalless draws against Dundee and St Johnstone left everyone a bit deflated.

Melkersen and Jasper have everyone a huge boost and excitement against Motherwell aswell as Newell returning, we need to build on that.

Aberdeen aren’t in a good place but they’re never an easy team.

Get Melkersen right on the shoulder of Bates and Gallagher and look for that ball, if we play to feet it will suit them.

We also need to be careful playing out from the back as they’ll be very aggressive in trying to catch us out with guys like Ferguson nipping our heels, he will be right on top of our midfield so guys like Campbell if starting need to be switched on all game.

[kaimendhibs]

I cant go now 🤬 Adult ticket going. Will sell for 16 quid. İn Edinburgh Friday aftie if anyone interested

If you can find a way for the ticket to get to Aberdeen I'd take it 😅

[Hermit Crab]

What train is everyone getting?

[Ringothedog]

What train is everyone getting?

8.25 bus as the train was far too expensive.

[Daniel 1875]

What train is everyone getting?

09:29 from Waverley for us then to the Butchers Arms

[Diclonius]

We definitely have a chance. Suspect it'll be another 0-0 though.

[kaimendhibs]

Leaving for Edinburgh in half hour. Will take ticket if anyone wants it

[Hermit Crab]

09:29 from Waverley for us then to the Butchers Arms


Wanted to get that one but I'm nightshift and probably too early for me, plus it doesn't stop at my local station. :rolleyes:

Think its the next one I'll be on.

[DavidDavidGray]

Everyone going Butchers Arms before the game on Friday again?

[King Cosell]

PPV available, £13.99. That'll do me.

[cam75]

Looking for 2 tickets for tomorrow anyone help?

[Daniel 1875]

Looking for 2 tickets for tomorrow anyone help?

There are still tickets available on the club website but will need to be collected from the TO.

[Brooster]

Everyone going Butchers Arms before the game on Friday again?

I would imagine so. It will be rocking as per usual.

Cheers mate see you tomorrow at the butchers arms GGTTH

[Saint Hibee]

Does anybody know if the Red TV PPV thing gives an option for away commentary? I'm not sure I can bear 90 minutes of sheep commentary ...

[Carheenlea]

Over 1400 tickets sold which isn’t too bad for a Friday night, but Saturday would probably have seen a better turnout for the trip for what is a big game in the chase for 3rd.

[1van Sprou7e]

Odds seem to be inching closer to favouring Hibs, Aberdeen still slight favourites but not by as much as I expected considerint their home form

I'll be undercover in the richard donald stand, hopefully get a decent view of the away support

1400 is a great effort 👏👏

PPV has always had away commentary options before so I would expect tomorrow to be no different.

Ryan Porteous is a villain of the ‘piece’

That’s pretty much a sell out these days. I think the away end only holds 1600 maybe slightly less now.

Think you’re right - three sections at 500 odd fans each.

[DH1875]

Would be even more if they had trains running back after the game.

I’m guessing Sportsound will be lining up an Aberdeen dream team of Richard Gordon, Willie Miller and Liam McLeod for tonight’s game, so Red TV might be less partisan.

Last time it was Rob McLean and Craig Brown who spent virtually the whole second half complaining about Hibs penalty.

Emm, what do you think the mistake is there??

Yeah ok it’s been pointed out. I was confusing piece and peace but I reckon you know that already.

Was it really worth you posting about this?

Still dunno what Jesus would be greeting’ about mind.

No mention of McKirdy

[Billy Whizz]

No mention of McKirdy

He said earlier in the week, he’s out until after the world cup

[bigwheel]

No mention of McKirdy

Think it’s been stated his injury will keep him out for all games before World Cup

[Sioux]

No mention of McKirdy

The question was related to the players who have been out injured for long spells, no?

[Saint Hibee]

Emm, what do you think the mistake is there??

Jim Goodwin is just as much of "a wind-up merchant extraordinaire" as Porteous is, if not more so. No matter what your opinion is on whether or not the penalty awarded for us against Aberdeen was a penalty or not, Porteous didn't do any "winding up" of anybody, just a friendly photo of him and Goodwin at the end of the match!

[Alan62]

Cough. Head Nord and watch Hibs TV from the comfort of your New York/Paris/Munich/Barcelona/Wherever apartment. 😎

That's fair but the original poster seemed to be implying there was some sort of spelling mistake

[Not In The Know]

Is he injured?

We're now at 13/8 along with aberdeen, interesting the bookies must fancy us somewhat

[OldEast]

Yes possibly, maybe I didn't pick up on that, I thought he was being asked about everyone who was currently out.

[Billy Whizz]

Is he injured?

Yes, was it a thigh injury Johnson mentioned

What's wrong with that?

Game of the weekend St Johnstone v Rangers is where I stopped reading.

To be fair they are both going to be slugging it out for te league title AND entry to the top 6. Two massive accolades up for grabs. :rolleyes:


The BBC have become more sycophantic about the Huns since they kissed and made than Sky Sports, and they pay Kris Boyd to speak.

[Hibbyradge]

Punters might fancy us. The bookies react to bets placed.

[WhileTheChief..]

I’m thinking it will be an open game up there which should suit us.

It’ll be a tough, and our record there is pretty shabby, but I think we might sneak it.

[Eyrie]

It's ridiculous that they can't do a brief bit about every game in their preview but only look at three games.
