Anyone else got tickets for the testimonial dinner?
Not a lot of detail of who will be in attendance but with interviews, entertainment and special guests mentioned i think it's safe to say it will be a good night.

Yes a bit pricey but a one off
I'll be in Australia so can't go.
Is there a date for the testimonial game?

Pricey, but got mine in order to show SDG how much he means for his service to the club. :flag:
The most deserving testimonial, the celebrations and memories he gave us with family and friends is the most important of all our lifetimes.
Sir David, if you read this, THANK YOU, but please no testimonial gigs, leave the guitar at home! :)
Should be a good night but i think i’ll do hospitality in the united game instead..
My mates have a table. Jammy gits 🙄🙂Quote:

Tin hat firmly on.
But are we now a bit OTT when it comes to testimonials and the definition of them?
Surprisingly David Gray only played 37 Premiership matches for Hibs. That's very surprising to me.
I know he has given the club a number of years service but it has been a long time since he regularly played for us.
I totally see where you are coming from but if there's a player worth breaking the traditional testimonial rules for its David Gray. I like to see them as a way of celebrating an outstanding contribution to the football club, be it having 10 years loyal service or scoring one of the biggest goals in the clubs historyQuote:

I think it's just to encourage people to make a wee bit effort.
Do only Premiership matches count? The three seasons in the Championship & Stubbs first signing. Apart from the Hampden game his opener against Der Hun in the 4-0 was very special. He'd a wee habit of scoring against them.Quote:

Aye you need a tin hat. You seem very negative about all our cup winners. Regularly slate stevenson/hanlon and say hibs are overly sentimental etc. SDG gave most of us our greatest day supporting hibs ( with the help of a few others), he's been at the club 10 years and steps in to help without complaint when called upon. Dam right he deserves a testimonial.Quote:

Deserves everything.
Who we playing in October? Thought we would have heard something by now.
We must fill ER for SDG
I hope we do everything to promote it.
If I was a millionaire I would fund his salary at Hibs the rest of his life
Pushed the boat out and got a top table
Probably a thank you for the best feeling I had at the SDG goal
I doubt it will be ever repeated

You reckon it will be ok with a normal suit?Quote:

Even a blazer/smart trousers will be be fine, but there's a ban on anyone even thinking of turning up in jeans to our table.Quote:

He's absolutely immortalised himself in the history of our club.
What’s the situation with the game next month, do we have a date, venue and who’s likely to be playing
It said a man utd select in on the website.Quote:
