Oasis and Blur?

Simple story cut short, few lads fell out then after a cool off period a couple wanted to keep it going which was openly posted on the forum, 4 people fully said they won't take part in anything such as display making, at games ect.

Few agreed to start at grass routes, displays and gradually build a good group of lads while continuing something at Easter road as stated in the OP it wouldn't be under a banner with a name, just a group of lads, singsong, displays and so on. Try and get 43 back on track as most will agree its a waste to just chuck all the work done away. Simple as that, now a few 43 lads seem to be saying its not 43, sorry but there is more people in 43 wanting the group to continue, we were all apart in some way. I started the group way back, and its sprouted to something good, and its something that won't die away now, name or no name banner or no banner, we are all hibs, we want to create this display for the team. Now that a few of us want to keep going doing displays it seems ex 43 lads want to have a go.

So basically due to the sheer size of what we want to create, we cannot do it without the help and donations from the Hibernian family, I assure this will be the most impressive thing within the stands ever to be done at our home ground.

Stating the obvious here, but have you approached William hills? Their support created an awesome cup final display.

Sounds like there are still disagreements. I can't say I know what's going on so I'm not going to involve myself but I'd just like to say that it's good to hear that people are still keen to make a bit of noise and get behind the team regardless of names etc, that's what it's about after all.

Have you thought about calling yourselves "The Sect43"?

The tone of your post and lack of smileys suggests you're not on the wind-up. Like I've said, it's not my place to comment but I think it's safe to say that Hill's is something of a no go atm.

As an admirer of Sect43, and someone who joins in with the singing in a large part because of you, I would urge you to be more concentrated on keeping the 'singing section' going than with displays. I love them at the big games but i'm sure most would say the best thing to come out of your fledgling existence has been 'Allez, Allez....' as an example of your support.
The one game that sticks in my mind was the 1-4 defeat to Celtic in the SCP, we took a very early lead and my abiding memory was the constant support the away fans gave their team (easy I know when they win so often) for a while Celtic were struggling yet the support never wavered and they gradually wore us down and beat us convincingly, if their fans turned on them would it have been so straightforward?
My point is that I've been at games where Sect43 have not given up on the team and it has definitely reduced the negativity in the ground, to the point of being positive even when losing, the longer this goes on the more old codgers like me get involved and stop the moaning. C'mon you know it makes sense, shut us old buggers up!!!!

[HibeeMG]

Like most replies on here, I'm a big fan of the work done by Sect 43 last season.

I don't understand why these guys can't arrange the display under the name Sect 43 though. It's not as if anyone else is using it.

Having a group and banners/displays at ER is great. I'm so happy there will be a continuation in some form.

You should learn from Sect43 though. They took on some tough challenges and gave some awesome displays.

However, quality is better than quantity sometimes...and it's a lot easier to handle.

[Lucius Apuleius]

Ae they still going to be in Sect 43? If so I guess they are still Sect 43.

[Chuck Rhoades]

Everyone in the group will still be there in the same place next year. Just nothing official or going by any name.

Some people had their differences, but a lot can't put the hours in anymore as they have other commitments, work/uni/moving out of town/kids etc.

There were only 15-20 who really got stuck in when it came to organising buses/tickets/displays etc and the reality was that with half moving on it would never work.

We'll plod along with no pressure on us and come up with the odd display from time to time.

[Waxy]

Sect 42?

[blackpoolhibs]

I don't understand why we cant call it section 43 anymore? If those who have left and dont want anything to do with it anymore want to do that then fine, but its not for them to take the name.

The name stays with the part of the ground that most of the singing starts, and those who are there should in my opinion still use it when organising flag displays and money collections.

I agree with what everyone else has said, the folk in section 43 have started something at Easter road, and they have been like a breath of fresh air that needs to continue and grow imo.

Now you all know my opinion on where it should be, but while its in the east and starting in section 43, thats what i will still be calling it, just as i still call the away end the Dunbar end.

PS, will they be recalling all the scarfs and T shirts they have sold, and refunding everyone their money?

Great news that Sect43 is still going to be here for next season.

Agreed. They are a credit to hibernian fc and the amount of effort they all go through to come up with and create absolutely first class displays is just fantastic. Massive massive well done to everyone involved in the displays and obviously all sect 43 members, can't wait to see what you guys have lined up for the new season and our european game(s).

More than happy to make a small donation towards you guys as like I say I think you all do a fantastic job at creating an atmostphere at ER and away aswell.

Keep up the good work guys!

Allez Allez Au

Was about to post this myself.


This isn't Section 43, it's the Forty-Third Section. No wait, it's the United Singing Section of 43. No, it's SXLIII.



Seriously, I'm pretty happy that there still seems to be some form of organisation in the Singing Section. However, can I suggest that before people start being asked to donate money, we are given a brief idea of what individuals are running this thing? Before, if there was a problem, we would have been able to go to Sect43 during a home game and ask a few questions. Now we are having to donate our money to a scattered group of folk in the South section of the East?

[hibs4thecup1988]

So then...fundraising ideas?

I appreciate there has been falling outs, and whatever else. But for the good of the team and club this has to be kept going.

If you guys need £900 then race night, or a charity golf/snooker day or something.

PM me if you would like any help ultra
