Sitting with Them...could you do it?

[hibsbollah]

I have a good yam acquaintance who has posted desperately on Facebook looking for cup final tickets 'and yes, tickets for the hibs end would be considered'.

I pointed out to him the stupidity of even considering this, both from the point of view of getting outed and ejected/kicked to ****, and from the point of view of having to restrain your natural shouting/radging out. Personally, i just wouldnt enjoy sitting in there in the fifth pit of Hell, even if it was the only way i could get a ticket.

Anyone else?

I'd struggle to watch it on the tele with my best mate who's 'one of them' so not a chance I could stand with thousands of Jambos on Cup Final day, no way!

[The_Todd]

No. Not a chance.

[Billie Jo]

Nah, it would give me the boak! or my heed kicked in

[Kris1875]

No way it's bad enough having to share a stadium with THEM never mind sitting with them I'd end up in the jail !!

[Sylar]

For an ordinary league game, I could probably just about manage it. I've sat in the home end at Ibrox (hospitality) and Pittodrie (friend who had a spare free ST) and didn't find it utterly unbearable.

Cup final against our biggest rivals with so much on the line? Absolutely no chance.

At the last derby I bought a ticket for the Gorgie Road end and it was the worst experience of my life. I had done it to weasel my way out of paying an extra £20 and my goodness how that extra £20 spent would have been heaven. I spent the whole time listening to the old guy I was sitting next to calling Leigh Griffiths a dolphin, Lewis Stevenson a hamster and Graham Stack a beast while the rest of the fans said things like 'why are they singing about paedos when Thomson isn't contracted to us anymore.' I just sat there like a total prat listening to it, and so badly wanting to belt out a Hibs chant but I obviously couldn't. The amount of rubbish they speak during a game is unparalleled and I would strongly discourage anyone from doing it. I have learned the lesson and will not begrudge the extra £20. The area I was in also started chanting 'since 1902' at me when they scored a second and I slammed my seat in disgust and had to walk past a whole row of people. NEVER DO IT, IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

A bunch of us (all Hibs fans) were sitting in the Celtic end at the last Scottish Cup final. It wasn't a good experience, and had we been winning we might have provoked serious bother.

The prospect of doing the same with Hearts supporters is quite frankly, unbearable, particularly on this occasion. I've noticed the tendency amongst certain fans to start scouring around when the game is not going their way, looking for someone to blame it on, who evidently doesn't share their level of misery. Fans can SMELL an infiltrator. Additionally, people will be highly strung, and some of them loaded with alcohol. They do not act rationally in such situations.

The journey to the stadium, then back home to Edinburgh, already has the potential to be marred by serious trouble, possibly to an extent unprecedented in previous derbies.

Without wishing to sound like the police or other authorities, I would strongly advise both sets of fans to keep to their own ends or to stay at home.

[truehibernian]

I lived with one for around 4 years......spending 90 minutes with them is a cakewalk in comparison :-)

To be honest, most Hearts fans I know are thoroughly decent, but that's the circles I am in. I would say (generally) they are far more arrogant and as a fanbase, are quite unpopular amongst other clubs' fans.

When I grew up, it was Hibs lads who had the style, panache and better grooming. Still had a sh*t team back then, but there was no danger any scarf twirler would grace our presence....Hearts fans were mocked to be honest. Nowt to do with the football.....bizarre, but true.

I find the big team, big cup, Tynecastle twirlygig stuff amusing. Banter is always good amongst my Yam chums. And they are purchasing Pampers Pull-Ups by the boxload, keeking it for the final. 'Cos we're winning it ;-)

[Sean1875]

No chance id be able to put up with the odour, or be able to restrain myself from celebrating. Would rather sit in a darkened room with no idea what the score was than experience the game surrounded by mutants.

[Scouse Hibee]

Was in the Everton end at Wembley in 89, but go in with the Hertz.......................no chance!!!

[TheEastTerrace]

Not a chance. The biggest derby in history. Either Hibs end or stay at home.

I lasted the first half at that game against Celtic in the South Upper. I managed to get into our end for the second half and felt much better.
If it came to it I would take a ticket but would not enjoy being in there at all and would probably regret it.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Ive not read the thread, no.

[KingFranck]

No way imagine Garry O scoring at their end and giving them it tight and u trying to keep quiet! Also being amongst them while the Hibees are celebrating a cup win! Obviously not guaranteed but possible
Watch it in the house if u can't get a ticket for your own end simples.

[seanshow]

I wouldn't recommend it I did it Ibrox when it was the only way I was getting to see the game, sat in the middle of the govan stand with my Hibs scarf tied round my waist it wasn't enjoyable.
Even worse we were up 2v1 at one point and went on to lose 4 or 5v2 I remember Tortolano scored but I'm not sure at what end.

[iwasthere1972]

From someone who at the tender age of 11 mistakenly went into the Huns end at Ibrox in the late 60's and celebrated Hibs scoring (3 times) that wouldn't be a problem.

[hibsbollah]

I'm not sure if this mate of mine is representative of other Hertz fans...but I wouldnt be surprised if theres s bit of a 'this is what big teams' fans do at finals' fantasism at work. They would LOVE it if they could pretend that our end was full of infiltrators because we couldnt sell our tickets.

[greenlex]

Naw. I would end up in jail with a banning order.

This.

[Saorsa]

I'd rather stick rusty nails in my eyes and bleed tae death than sit with that ****

[Bostonhibby]

Nope, can barely manage putting up with my Yammish Brother in Law at Xmas and funerals, no chance of sitting with him or his type at a game. Mind you he only ever watches them in the golf club bar.

[SaulGoodman]

You'd end up getting rumbled when you're sitting in the stand by yourself, surrounded by nothing but smashed up seats because you're waiting for Hibs to lift the cup and all the Yams have left

Remember it well, I think it was to do with the nylon track suit based clothing - it is definitely popular amongst the Yokels as there's quite a bit in evidence even now and it seems to descend generations.

The trendy effort of a shop they had briefly in the town was full of it. A bit too eastern European for me and there must be quite a bit of static as their trainers are usually plastic - but each to their own

Oh, and we tended to have our own teeth as well.

[basehibby]

I have a number of Yamish mates who I would have no problem watching a derby with on an individual level. But the prospect of being imersed amongst 20-odd thousand of them while watching the single most important derby in my lifetime just gives me the boak. Win or lose I wouldn't feel clean for weeks and would stand a high probability of being either physicaly and/or mentally scared by the experience - so it's a massive NOOOOOOOOOOO from me.

Me and the missus used to go to games with my mate and his missus, we'd alternate which end we went to and it was fine, even when outed the banter was pretty good from both sets of supporters.

We stopped going because of the bile from opposition supporters got ridiculous and it came from the Hibs fans as much as the Hearts.

I've been to Hearts games against different opposition with him and he's been to Hibs games against different opposition with me.

It's fitba ffs

Spoke with two Hibs supporters today who are going to the Hearts end. One will keep quiet but the other one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've just reminded me of the RR maroon satin (reversible) bomber jacket they disgraced themselves with a few years back. Anyone got a picture of that bad boy?

[Glory Lurker]

Sat in the yams end at their place when we beat them 3-0 in the cup in '92 and couldn't keep it to myself when the third went in. Got no bother though..... the Youth Cup, that is. The thought of going in with them for anything more serious than that.... no I can't even form the thought (and I wouldn't repeat it even at a youth game.

[lyonhibs]

Iv not read this whole thread, but I suspect the overwhemling message is constant.

Could you sit with The Filth? Could I f***. Under any circumstances.
