Morning Hibees,

My lovely dad passed away in Oct 2022 - Robert Griffin (username: iwasthere1972)

I have purchased a commemorative stone, but wanted to ask the community, what would you want written on a stone to be remembered?
Max 14 characters per line. Max 4 lines.

So far I was thinking...

Thank you for your help.

I would use his username. I wasn’t there in ‘72 but it was my 13th birthday and listened to the game on the radio at my grandparents who had a cake with Hibs for the cup on it.

I've got one and can't remember what is says. It is right at the South End of the West Stand, too far away to go check. If I had known that they would start from that end and work back, I would have waited a year!

Thank you for your help.

That's really sad to hear, such a good and witty contributor on here.

Looks good to me.

Covers everything, and the user name means it will be recognised by many.

I’ve got one in the East stand. I’d rather not say exactly what it says but the 2016 cup final was mentioned and GGTH.
It’s something that’ll hopefully be there for a very long time.

FWIW sorry to hear about your Dad and I think what you already have is just perfect 👍🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬Your Dad would be proud.

Sorry for your loss.

On these occasions I think it’s often best to trust instinct… and what you already have sounds perfect.

Your stone should read ‘Petrie GTF’ obviously.

Only joking, your dedication is absolutely spot on.

Is there any update about the stones fit date?
