I'll keep this short. Our over 35s team were recently playing Newcastle Civil Service in our annual Anglo Scottish Cup challenge match. I couldn't source an all weather pitch anywhere in Edinburgh or East Lothian for love nor money on a Friday afternoon due to schools and collegeshaving use of the facfacilities. I contacted George Craig to see if Hibs could offer me anything, it was my last throw of the dice and I wasn't holding out much hope. Aye no bother says George, come up and use the 3g pitch and use our changing facilities. From there on in Hibs could not have been more helpful. They welcomed us to East Mains, showed us to our changing rooms, supplied multi packs of energy drinks for half time, Stubbsy presented the cup, they provided soup and sandwiches for 35 of us served by the club chef, Gav the driver gave us a guided tour of the centre and wait for this....they even sent a minibus to and from waverley to pick up the Newcastle players free of charge. Even the non Hibbys in our group were utterly amazed at the hospitality shown by Hibs. Thanks very much Hibs for all your help. Oh aye we lost 5-4 on penalties after a 3-3 draw.

Nice to see a Hurrah! rather than a Booooooo! thread, particularly at this time of year. Let's hope that going forward in the fullness of time blabla Hurrah! threads prove to be not just for Christmas.

In not paying £400 for a season ticket to find your team's jollies!
Only joking - really good gesture from the club.

Tell you something, I hear the soup lacked seasoning. Typical penny pinching Petrie, boooooooooo. Originally Posted by lapsedhibee

Danny Handling didn't do enough with the minibus either.

There must be some way for the usual mob to find something wrong with this. Huge strides being made under those now running the club. Originally Posted by Northernhibee
