Great stuff.
At a glance though looking at aways , you’ve missed Bury away 18/02/56, Hull 20/10/58, Sheff Utd 27/10/57 and 27/10/58, Swansea Town 10/10/60. Blackpool 08/08/68, Crystal Palace 18/02/78, Jersey Select 22/02/93, Hull 13/07/89, Watford 15/08/90, Port Vale 15/07/98, Preston 19/07/03,
and non league friendlies at South Shields 07/03/98, Telford United 18/7/98, Whitley Bay 24/7/99 and Horden Colliery 13/02/99.

Think there were pre-war games too but I don’t have the details to hand.

Keen to hear from anyone who has programmes available for Bury in ‘56, Man United ‘53, or Horden ‘99.

Impressive . Were 2 games v Leicester not both in 79 - 80 ? Away game was definitely in 79 - 80 as it was our only away win all season in relegation season after reaching the cup final in 1979 . I remember the home game was on a Monday after a weekend with no league games cause of international matches ( we `d lost 0 - 4 at Kilmarnock in a friendly on the Saturday with a Yugoslavian goalie in both matches ) .

1986 4-1 Hibs. The game was part of the Durie transfer deal. Remember singing: "You should have stayed with Hibees".

Great thanks for that. I wasn’t imagining it after all!

Away game was on 15 Jan 1979 so from 1978-79 season.

Home tie was in Dec 1979, same year but different season.

As an impressionable teenager I found numerous events surrounding the game at Oldham particularly eye opening. 😲

[EHZERO7]

We beat Newcastle 3-0 at Easter Road in 1977/78 (sept I think)
No programme as I think it was arranged last minute.

First one I ever saw was Manchester United.

It was a horrendous winter in 81/82 and Hibs were one of the few clubs in the UK to have undersoil heating, so United visited ER to get some game time and we managed to get a draw (I think it was 2-2)

[ancient hibee]

Also in the mid 1950s two home games-

Arsenal 2-2

Leeds. 4-4

Don’t think they’ve been mentioned.

None of you will better Ryan Porteous sending Lee Cattermole in to orbit a few years ago.

Boxing Day. Showed up for work at The Artisan and only found out there was a game around opening time. A few United fans were in the pub. When did you know you had a game? We didn't. Just showed up at the bus at 8:00 as always... Also notable for Franny Jablonski going up to Sinclairs and getting hammered up there instead of managing the pub which shut at 6 to the consternation of two regulars that arrived at 5 past desperate for a beer and time away from the family...

Oh the old Artisan Supporters Club! Brings back memories of days out with the other misbehaving teenagers on away days.

Being thrown out of a football ground for the first time at Fir Park and then 'serenaded' back onto the bus after the match after a wee warning from the Polis.

Happy Days!

I remember that bus taking Old George from under the clock to Dens Park as it had been one of his favourite away days waaaaay back. Got him paralytic on the bus. He was well over 80....
