A scary though occurred to me, that tomorrow will mark the start of my 3rd decade (90's, 00's and 2010's - or whatever we are to call this upcoming decade) watching Hibs!! I am but a young whippersnapper though, so let's see who has the most impressive "Decade count" watching Hibs!!
GGTTH, and please thrash the Jambos tomorrow!!

5 decades on and off and only 3 league cups to show for it, but if I have to wait another 5 decades to see the boys in green and white lift the Scottish cup then so be it.
Happy new year tae one and A'

6 decades - if you actually mean historical decades, as in 60s, 70s etc.
Hadn't realised my name was Jonnyboy, however!
47 years in total but dropped out of it a bit in the late 80s / early 90s (probably the most carefree days of my life!
) until my own children got interested and I came back to ER on a regular basis (I've still never really forgiven them ).

I could look out the thread about our first game with the exact date. I think it was a 3pm KO so could get it down to the minute if you like. Originally Posted by sleeping giant

The coming decade might be my eighth.
I was 3 when my dad took me to my first game, so that would have been 1949 or 1950, but definitely 50's,60's,70's,80's,90's,noughties and now 10's.

41 year old seen them in 70s 80s 90s 00s and now my fifth decade. What a depressing post (for making me feel old, not watching Hibs)! My dad since 50s and his mate since 40s possibly even 30s. Its for folk like that I wish we'd win that damn cup!

Moved to Edinburgh in May '93 and went to my first match in August - bought an ST the following week and have done so every season since.

My Dad's 64 so the next game we go to he will have been watching hibs over seven decades!
I'll just need to shut up and listen to him...because that's frightening!

My 1st season was 1967-68 so that makes it 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's & 10's (If the game goes ahead tomorrow) so I guess it will be my 6th decade.

Feeling like an auld bar steward now, but first game was 68, so guess thats 6th decade. A win today will make it all worth while.

5 decades for me!
70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and now 2010 onward! Hopefully I'll see a lot more.
