I'v not seen this since we won the CIS cup final. Does it ever get taken out at Easter road? How much did it cost to produce?

Thats a bummer Lee, im quite sure Scottish clubs are a bit more flexible, i cant quite remember but im sure hibs.net & the bounce used to contact clubs beforehand to seek permissionto bring the flags ...the last place i recall seeing the hibs.net flag was at hampden v Killie in the cup final ...

Ah ok, I can understand why police wouldn't allow it to be brought out as it would make it impossible to see what is happening beneath it.

Its big mate but nowhere near as big as some ..esp the Liverpool one i saw on tv yest ...just the Police being jobsworths imo....a friendly football game = football flag = refused...

I agree the steward down there was fantastic. I had a seat in the wheelchair bay with my carer on the trackside and 5 back row tickets for the grandkids, the two youngest aged 6. The steward said it was no problem and moved the fans directly behind us after explaining the problem to them. At the end of the game he took us all trackside away from the fighting.

Would any steward at a SPL ground go out of his way to help?

It was very very windy that day & bloody difficult tae hold that flag doon !!!

...the unique thing about that flag that sets it apart from others is the names in the back ground ...names of hibbies past & present & from all over the globe ...thats why it should be out there at games, it should never be forgotten ...

Yeah I'v been to Anfield and there flags drape from top tier to the bottom there massive I guess its all down to what officers are at the game.

**GreenCastle** · 28-12-2009 03:42 PM

You should contact Hibs and try get it stored at ER ?

Maybe have it at every home game in the South Upper if not being used ?

Likewise with the large Famous Five flag

Obviously it would be good to pass around at half time etc and to have at away trips though.

The away fans wont see it in the south upper
