If anything it’s smaller than what it once was.Quote:

K Miller

An easy victory for HIBS on a wind swept Easter Road
Young Kenny Miller was alert and rushed into the box to head home the opener after only two minutes
Matty Jack gave Dunfermline a lifeline after 30 minutes when he was uncharacteristically short with a pass-back and could only watch in horror as David Graham waltzed around Colgan to fire home the equaliser
Grant Brebner eased the hibee nerves just before half-time when he restored HIBS’ lead
Second half and HIBS gave a debut to young Ian Murray who scored with his first touch firing home from close range after a Kenny Miller effort had been blocked on the line
HIBS now stepped up the pressure as the wind increased and it was obvious that poor Dunfermline were being outclassed
Derek Collins scored his first goal for the club to complete an easy victory when he lobbed Pars keeper Mampaey with only minutes to go

I'd given up my season ticket a number of years earlier and hadn't been back due to real life priorities. Then Hibs announced a share issue but only to those fans on the database, and this was the game I picked to buy a ticket so that I was eligible. Despite the ending, I attended a few more games for a couple of seasons when time permitted, before finally cracking and getting another season ticket.Quote:

Reference the disastrous Stirling Albion cup tie.Here’s a question for you history boys that follow this thread.What was the common factor between David McCallum and Chris Jackson who scored for the Binos that night.Please note Billy as the curator of this thread you are not allowed to answer this question.
Re the cup tie in 1957 when we lost 3-4 to Aberdeen, on that same day Hearts lost to Rangers in the cup at Tynecastle & Scotland played France i think at Murrayfield! About 120k attended the 3 games. Nowadays, with all the modern equipment & technology they can't cope with 20k at ER & Tiny on the same day!
Attendance was 27294 but looks more in this excellent clip ( hope it plays)Quote:

It was some game against Aberdeen. Jackie Wren showed he was an even worse goalie than most of had thought. Willie Ormond hit the post twice in the last couple of minutes with ferocious shots,one from 25 yards.This might have been the game after which Lawrie Reilly was diagnosed with pleurisy.
