There is a thread over on Pie&Bovril which has conjured up memories of when my old man surprised me by pulling me out of school one morning to see a game against Motherwell at Easter Road.
This would have been circa 95-97, would this have been due to not having floodlights via one of the stands being rebuilt?
IIRC It was 94/95 Hibs won 2-0 and Keith Keith Keith got both goals?...It was indeed an early KO but no idea why bud.
The floodlights were down for the construction of the North and South Stands.Quote:

Can remember going to an afternoon game with my folks against Motherwell after that.
It was just before he died. They announced on the tannoy that he had been rushed to hospital. At which point, one of my mates made an anti-Hun non-pc remark I won't repeat. :wink:Quote:

Remember the game well.
My Dad pulled me out of school early because i has a 'doctors appointment' and took me to the game. My regular teacher was off sick that day. As we took our seat in the main.stand who should be sitting a couple of rows behind us. A quick 'I'll say nothing if you dont' and we all enjoyed a Hibs win.
It was a 'dentist appointment' for me :greengrinQuote:

It was the 23rd of March as it was my birthday and I sulked all day because I had to go to school whilst the old man went to the football.
Arsepiece.
Had a wee spy at the results history, and the only two home games I can see around that date in March that involve Motherwell are:Quote:

I remember finishing work early to go to the game but cannot remember a thing about the game.
Did we not play against falkirk at a similar time during the week?
Yes and we got beat 0-2 by fat Jim knew and co. Minute silence for Kenny McLean pre game too.Quote:

How could they afford that?
We were paying about the same for players then I think.Quote:

Was it not 0-1? John Clark free kick?Quote:

Yep, I had a ST for the cowshed and we were relocated to the North stand. Remember playing Falkirk midweek, old boy having to pick me up from school because I'd been given detention and wouldn't have made it for KO on foot!Quote:
