Cant think of support such as Aberdeen on Sunday.To bring just under half their average gate to a 5th Round match to a ground they have been to dozens of times 130 miles away live on TV !!
Credit where its due,brilliant supporters.

Aberdeen Support

Fair play, great away support but they would help their club a lot more by turning up to home matches every week.

The away end on Sunday would have been largely filled by central belt ewe's and ram's.
No great achievement IMO.
I think it's embarrassing for them as a support to have an away support that is almost as large as their pitiful home support.

One of the biggest myths in Scottish Football.
Aberdeens massive away support......
As Tricla said, they have a large fan base now living in the central belt.

Harsh to knock them. They turned up, they made a racket and they stamped their mark on the game. Some amount of balloons, I thought the ultras had packed it in?

I used too work and live in Aberdeen. Half the population of Edinburgh but only one main team. It's not bad for entertainment but any a trip to the capital (or Glasgow) is like a weekend break. It's no coincidences that a high number of travelling Tartan Army fans are from that neck of the woods.

I have lived and worked in Edinburgh my entire life and have only ever met one Aberdeen fan and he was from Aberdeen. Really cant see this claim of a large fan base in the central belt being correct.

I will give them no extra kudos for going to watch their team in a cup match. Despite what some may say on here we do follow Hibs in large numbers in the cup.
But i do think the central belt thing is a myth. The A90 was packed all the way to Aberdeen on Sunday night and I know loads of Aberdeen resident Dons fans who had not been to an Away match since last years semi-final who made the trip.Every gimmick hungry yob,

We have travelled up to aberdeen in big numbers before and I bet hibs will have more fans at killie than the sheep had at ER. I dont get this love in when a team brings a big support. Their balloons were a nuisance more than anything and there big support were very quiet for large parts of the match. It was a day out in the capital for most ofthem.

They all left looking very sheepish.

Flip side of the coin dare I suggest that we would have amassed far less than 1k at Pittordrie last sunday.

The great Aberdeen support was almost as big as "the Medda" support a few years ago in the Cup.

Very noisy and also pretty funny support. Putting the ballons in Tesco bags was a nice touch and had Sparky pissing himself laughing. The game overall had a great atmosphere.

Why not?!?!?! Should there never be a Hibs supporters club outside Edinburgh?

Judging from one of the flags on Sunday they still do have an EDinburgh Uni SC.
The glory hunting thing, not buying that. There's been a hell of a lot of disappointed sheep since the 80's. What I do think is that there are far more Aberdonians residing in the central belt than folk from Edinburgh up there. Good support but I reckon we will take more down to Killie.

A benefit of having Hearts and Aberdeen play an extra game at ER is any loss financially from the Huns not filling the stand twice a season has been cushioned quite a bit.
