Attention of Australian Hibees - semi final plans and final plans (fingers crossed)

[Graham Law]

What is everyone planning on doing for the Semi Finals against the sheep on either 14th or 15th April and then fingers crossed the final.

I live in Newcastle (NSW) which is approx 2 hours north of Sydney for anyone that does not know. All Hibees and I guess even sheep fans are welcome round the house as I am planning on turning the place green and white for the weekend and I guess the odd Aberdeen fan will create a bit more atmosphere.

Message me if interested or reply to this thread.

As for the final (fingers crossed), I am planning on flying back from Sydney direct to Glasgow on the 14th May if anyone interested in turning the flight into one big Hibs party :pfgwa

[frazeHFC]

A plane of partying Hibees from Australia to Scotland would be interesting.

[Graham Law]

Thanks for the sticky admin ... Much appreciated

Graham, I'll definitely be watching it, but until we know what day its on and what the kick off time is, I won't know where. If there any other Sydney based Hibees up for finding a pub to watch it, I'd be up for that - although a wee jaunt to Newcastle could be possiblity too!

As for the final - that's a whole new level of planning - but let's not get ahead of ourselves; one game at a time!

I'm keen on watching it in a boozer. That is providing Setanta show it live. The English FA cup semis finals are on that weekend too and Setanta have prioriitised those games . If kick off times coincide our game will not be live(Guaranteed).

If it's on however the option of a 915pm kick off Sydney time is too good an opportunity to pass up a night on the piss in the city.
Used to do it regularly but since we have been able to get Setanta at home the thought of a 1 hour trek from the burbs into town has been less than appealing especially with the dross we have seen recently.
Scruffy Murphy's used to often get a reasonable crowd of us but recently the young uns have been going to Star City Casino Sports Bar.

Might be a good chance for Graham to come down to the Smoke to watch the game if nobody is going up to Newcastle Had a few down from Newcy and Central Coast for LC final a few years ago.

So, a 1215 BST kick off time on Sat 14th makes it a 0115 AEDT kick off on Sunday 15th for us down here. It's live on BBC Scotland so not sure exactly what that means for TV coverage here. I'll probably be over in Perth by then so won't be able to make it up to Sydney or indeed Newcastle. Any Perth based Hibees that would be up for watching the game somewhere?

The time difference after daylight saving ends here and UK goes to BST Iis only 9 hours . Hence 915pm in eastern states and 715pm in WA ( presuming clocks DO go forward in UK before then ??)
Loads of Hibbies in Perth . They will let you know where to watch game in this thread I'm sure !

[WellingtonHibby]

If its a go-er for a pub in Sydney, my brother and I might come up from Melbourne for it, we have been talking about a wee Trip up that way anyway. Falling that, if any Melbourne hibees fancy making a night of it. The dickens will have it on, as will my house.

[Hibs 7]

British summer time will have started by then so it'll be 7 hours in WA and 9 out east.

Watching the game in Perth CBD somewhere with a sheep humping mate but would be good to meet up with some fellow hibees as well

:pfgwa

Send me a pm closer to the semi and I'll let you know when and where. It will most likely be at the Irish club in Subiaco.

As for the final, fingers crossed I'll be at hampden. Like someone else said, a lot of planning and a lot more to happen first.

Nice one, cheers for the info. I've just moved out here so I didn't know that setanta had the rights to the FA cup as well. How far in advance do they usually announce what games they're showing live? As if the pub isn't showing the game that could put a bit of a dampener on proceedings! But if they are, I'll be there whether its Scruffy murphys or the casino.

Ach, I hate it when the time differences keep changing. I always seem to get it wrong! 1915 KO in WA will be perfect for an afternoon session hopefully continuing into the evening after the game.

[Slicer]

Will be in Melbourne for the Semi but doubt it will get shown live.

[WellingtonHibby]

[Steve-O]

Never mind you Aussies, where are us Kiwis going to watch?!

Planning on getting it online I suppose. Can anyone tell me if its possible to get fullscreen on Hibs TV these days? Was a bugbear of mine in the past having to watch it on the tiny screen.

Literally round the corner. I'm just on Carlisle St. Setanta have confirmed they will be showing. Probably get a few boys round, pack the missus of for the evening and make a night of it. You're more than welcome.

[WellingtonHibby]

So who is the hibee strolling round Melbourne, specifically, balaclava station, in the mint green top?

[Slicer]

Remains a mystery mate, I wear mine going down Inkerman Street to the PCYC gym! We'll need to start up a new supporter's branch soon!

I think all the Aussie hibees will be meeting up for the final. Sydney seems the best bet
