Malta Hibs

[Jones28]

In Malta at the moment and after my Hibs too being recognised by a few locals I seem to remember hearing about a Hibs pub/bar in Malta? Can anyone tell me if I'm right or wrong?

[frazeHFC]

There is a Hibernians supporters club.......if memory serves me right it's in Paola very near a Prison which is on Valletta Road (Triq II Belt Valletta). Not very helpful but gives you an idea.


Well worth a trip, they love it when us Hibees go visit.





Just googled and the prison is on that road which is in Paola. There is a square and the club is on one of the roads just off it.

been to malta 3 times myself, when i was 7, 8 and 13, i seem to remember many locals taking an interest in the hibs tops i would always wear abroad, seemed like many of the maltese followed Scottish Hibernian simply due to them supporting Hibernians over there.

Would love nothing more than an excuse for a week in malta to watch Hibernian take on Hibernians

Seems a bit strange that we have never played them. If IRC they wear black and white stripes, the old Knghts of St John conection and that.

FrazeHFC is spot on with his Malts Hibs supporters club. They would love to see you.

As an aside - Reflections bar in Mellieha has a signed Hibs top which I sent, many moons ago - mainly because someone had given them a signed Hearts top (wasn't having that).

A bit later, George Stewart (Hibs captain in the 1979 cup final replays) phoned me at home one Sunday night from the bar. Joe Vella, the bar owner, had told him the story about the strip.

Still there, but has been moved further into the bar. Its a bit old now, with the "spaceship" badge.

Enjoy yourself in Malta.

Not sure about any Hibs bars in Malta, but Munchies in Qwara is a Scottish Football Bar. I will be moving over to St Pauls Bay permanently next month. Back to UK tomorrow, I will miss the sun.

Went to them once in the Natipnal Stadium. Drew with, I think Sleima Wanderers..

[Jones28]

Brilliant guys, thanks

In marsaskala at the moment and hoping to go to Valletta for the day at some point so will definitely try and go the supporters club!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Have a wee search of their fans on Youtube, quite impressed.

Right chaps, as luck would have it there is a European tie tonight! So me and 7 others are looking to go to the game. There isn't a great deal of info on the official website with regards to match tickets. Can we go assuming it would be all PATG and not a sell out?

Hopefully I'll manage to pop down to the ground today at some point to get more info.

Not able to help with that sorry but wear Hibs tops to it if you have one with you and see what they all think.

Disappointing that they don't play in green colours but a strip similar to Newcastle.

I would think the game will be in the national stadium which is outside Valletta and not easy to get to or back.Check the bus timetables.

Was there for a game in May -buy ticket at ground- great fun and enjoyed my beer while watching the game.

I've worn it out and it's been recognised a lot! They know a lot about the Hibs and one guy had been to ER to see us play against Celtic

[YehButNoBut]

Noticed the Malta Hibs are in action at the moment in the Europa Cup against Vojvodina from Serbia, think they'll be up against it.

Pity we couldn't have played them would've been good to see Hibernians v Hibernian.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

the Malta Barcodes....a crazy bunch!

[YehButNoBut]

They're 2-0 down at HT so doubt we'll get them in a future round

Quite happy as have Vojvodina in my accumulator.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Vojvodina won 4-1.

Cheers for the info guys, managed to get myself both a genuine and a knock off Hibernians strip! Didn't see any games though.
