How Global Are Hibs Fans?

[Green Diet]

I was just wandering how far and wide Hibs expat fans are spread across the world that, despite the georgraphy, still follow every kick of every game. I'm based in Dunedin, New Zealand - 11681 miles - and have supported hibs since 1982 as a 12 year old lad. My kibs both wear hibs tops and our car plate is HIBS. Just recently I have come across this website, and now rely upon it for keeping in touch with what's happening to our beloved club. It is really refreshing to read posts from real Hibs fans. There's no hiding the fact we are struggling through a tough time but it's helpful to share our concerns for the club. This website is a credit to the club and to its fantastic supporters. GGTTH

Looks like your support is flagging now though!

[California-Hibs]

Sacramento California. Been living here for 2 years now, got married to an American girl and moved across the pond. Before married life she was briefed on the Hibees though and what marrying me would entail, ie on Hibs.net every 2 minutes and up at a ridiculous time on a Saturday to watch/listen to the games!

The result has been pleasing, she turned into a big Hibby herself! Past 2 years we've both had the tops, scarfs etc bought and shipped over from the club store, and it was only a few months into me moving here that she started getting up to watch the games with me....sometimes even shouting more than me!

I echo the joy of having this site to keep up to date withal things Hibs.

Also the Hibs TV service which shows the home games (well, it did last season...this seasons delay is killing me!!)

Moved to St Pauls Bay Malta July last year

South East Spain. Oh and the North Sea.

[Slicer]

Followed Hibs home and away until I went travelling (initially for one year, still renewed my season ticket). Living in Darwin, Australia now. Subscribing to HibsTV for my fix these days.

Been to the Australia and NZ Hibernian Supporters' Burns Supper in the last two years. Great nights and good to catch up with genuine Hibs folk out here.

Met a couple of guys in Singapore airport going home for a certain final in 2012. Seemingly 15 guys were making the journey home just from Perth, Australia.

One Scottish Cup final in 26 years, then 2 when I move half way round the world!

Far and wide

Grängesberg Sweden not to far but not had the opportunity to go back yet!

[zero-seven]

Canberra Australia via Christchurch New Zealand. 53 years of pain. But I did get to see Turnbullls tornados, George Best, joe baker et al. I deserve so much more than this crap we are being fed.

[woody0-7]

I'm still a homeboy but work away, I was working in Singapore and there is an Irish bar on orchard road just opposite the towers that has a hibs following a full wall of loads of hibs stuff and the team that plays from the pub is called the Hibernians

[scott7_0(Prague)]

At least 4 Hibby's here in Prague...

[edinburghhibee]

I stayed in goteborg, Sweden for a year and came home regularly for hibs games. Was in a bar in goteborg after an IFK V Gais game in 2007 a short time after we had won the cup. Some boy came in looking to kick our heads in by the sound of him. He thought me and my mates were IFK hooligans until I told him I'm a hibs fan. Turned out he also supported hibs and had been to the final that year.

Guy turned out to be a good lad and sat with us for a while having a drink and chatting about the hibs.

Oh and someone stole my hibs top in a remote island in Thailand went into my tent while I was at a party and it's the only thing they stole.

Classy thief if that's possible!!! :D
