The 1984 game against Dundee reminded of the strange situation that we used to get better attendances against some of the other mid sized clubs away from home in those days.
We'd quite often have pretty crappy home crowds like 5,000 or so, then get a massive away support against the same club.
TBF, I often preferred away matches as well, as the atmosphere was often a lot better.
The match report I read said HIBS brought up a huge travelling supportQuote:

I agree with you about Bobby Thomson. Remember a Willie Miller tackle on him which was a career ending one fortunately his foot was not planted on the ground. Referee only booked Miller as he was surrounded by the whole Aberdeen team.Quote:

51 years ago today I made my first visit to the Holyground to see Hibs vs Rangers in the League Cup quarter final first leg. Came up on the bus from Hawick, telling my mother I was at the Youth centre. A crowd of 34,000 packed into ER. I stood on the upper section of the old East terrace. Despite losing 3-1 my love affair with Hibs was cemented as we played with cavalier style down the slope
in our famous green tops with white sleeves.
Hibs’ cause that night not helped by conceding a goal in the first minuteQuote:

Hibs would lose the second leg 1-3 with Johnny Graham scoring
Prior to this game HIBS had been flying and would beat Celtic 2-0 at Easter Road 10 days later with Joe McBride scoring a double one of which a swivel and shot on the turn still described as one the best goals ever seen at Easter Road

Thanks for brining back the memories. I think I was overcome by the excitement of my first game at ER. I can remember other matches after this one much more clearly. And not 34,000 but 37k+, I was stunned by the size of the crowd as a 14 year old.Quote:

I would wait for HIBS to decide which way they were kicking and then proceed to make my way behind the respective away goal
One particular memory is John Blackley’s ball juggling prematch routine truly a joy to behold

I think the 2-0 Celtic game was Tom Hart’s first as owner. McBride was great that day.Quote:
