A bit gutted that this was my 8 year olds first Hibs match.
At 2-0 he turned to me with hope and asked "Is there another game on after this one dad"?
Still,he did seem to really enjoy the whole experience and was kicking imaginary balls along Albion road.

My eldest sons first game was 5-1 v Kilmarnock CIS Cup final
My youngest sons first game was 5-1 v Yams Scottish Cup final
Still, I buy them both season tickets and force them along every other week

Don't worry. When my dad started taking me along in 1963 we were bottom of a 20 team league. I was hooked despite it all.

My 8 year old asked for and got a season ticket under Calderwood. She attended 17 games. We won one.
Larkin springs to mind

The saddest bit for me at last nights Saints match was watching a youngish couple take their seats early with their daughter of around 10, high in the Famous 5. They were eager and excited as a wee family for the match to begin. Watching them troop away down the stairs dejected after the Saints third goal (with 32 minutes left) was pitiful. Not long after, a similar situation happened when yet another couple took their son (of approx 7) away. The look on the kids' faces told its own story. How many of these potential future supporters will our club lose before this current malaise of the last 3 to 4 years ends?

"When I was 5 my daddy..."
Stop that ! Will admit I left at the 3rd goal yesterday. And I did so almost subconsciously. Stood up and before I knew it I was on Albion Rd.
I feel for the younger ones that have have had to come into the Hibernian family in the last few years but I hope they get it.

Well we watched it all.Couldn't teach him to leave early at his first match.
He looked bamboozled as to why people were leaving while the football was still on.

My older son's first game was a pre season against East Stirling, may have been league cup.... Anyway we won1-0.
Younger son saw us score 5 against Dunfermline.
Both hooked...
My first five games were 0-0.Alcohol IS the answer, but I forget the question...

Last night I took a friends kid along and she was so dejected at all the empty seats, and then at 3-0 laughed when everyone was leaving.
My first game was a 0-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday(I think!!) in a friendly must have been c.1990(anyone got anything on it?) and I stood up cheering when the full time whistle went and firmly got told by my auld man...that was pish now shut up

I took my wee girl along to her first game a few years back for the now notorious Hibs vs Falkirk/Alan Freedland debacle - a Hibs kids' game between two teams with no bad blood who liked playing football turned into a scrappy battle with one of the most poisonous atmospheres I've ever experienced (all directed against the ridiculous excuse for a ref).
Hibs lost that one and she's been to half a dozen Hibs kids' games since, and in perfect demonstration of Hibs' amazing tendency to **** up against teams they should in theory be beating, one day she asked me "Daddy - why do Hibs never win?"
I'll keep on trying and maybe one day she'll experience the joy of a Hibees victory

My lad is 4... soon to be 5... and the wife urges me to take him along to the football. I have not done so to-date... and the reason why is I simply do not wish to subject him to years of misery. Our football is eye bleeding at the moment... how is that going to capture my son's attention?

Thats a belter
I took my laddie to his first game on his 4th Birthday against Aibirdeen at ER in the main stand 9 years ago.
Sure Hibs won 2-1 (Riordan screamer i thnk).
He hated it. He hated the noise , he hated the fact someone was smoking beside him (you could smoke back then).
Went down for a pie at halftime and he refused to go back to his seat. Started crying. I've never felt so guilty in my life.
He just wanted to go home and plays with his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Cue us leaving . I remember walking away from Easter rd and hearing the roar as Pat Stanton was paraded for a presentation.
It was an earie feeling.
One year later he asked for a season ticket and he's now on his 8th year in a row
