It's fun these days in Section 43.

Many of us are now in our 15th season of standing for two hours at every single home game. Are you one of those supporters? 😆

The 50-somethings like me are now drawing their pension. Some of the 40-somethings now have a bus pass.

My 13 and 11-year olds have now attended over 400 games, two thirds in the singing section.

Some of the young lads from Hibs12thMan and Sect43 are now back from the Famous Five with beards, thinning hair and talking about wives, kids and mortgages. More lassies too.

A great atmosphere made better when we break into song. GGTTH

My East Stand days stretch back to 1987.

What a change since my first visit.

Don't think you'll ever get the pure radgeness of the old East again, but it's still the best part of the ground.

I moved there when it opened, and I've remained in the same seat from day 1.

Crazy to think it's been 15 seasons since it opened, doesn't feel that long.

I can remember Stewards coming along every so often asking everyone to sit down in the first few seasons before they eventually realised they weren't going to win that battle and just gave up.

I get the feeling it may be on the way back, given I have no idea what Block 7 are singing most of the time.

In my seat Row R we seem to be the last or second last row towards the front, who do stand up in the bigger games usually.

Have been an East Terrace/stand S43 regular since taking my kids to the old seated area before the FF was built.

Before that was part of the "Mental Hibees" in the shed/away days travelling on the Carlton bus with great pals.

Now have son and daughter taking their sons but in S44 as is Bronze area.

Great family days, it is what it is about.
