Hi folks,
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before or discussed. There are a number of Hibs supporters that travel a great distance to games. In such cases there is no supporters bus available to them. I was asked the question on how such supporters could get in touch with one another (particularly if they live near each other) as this would allow them to not only car share but also put them in touch with other Hibees in their locality. This would not only help cut down their travel costs but may also encourage some supporters back to Easter Road (as the wouldn't be going to the game on their own).
A couple of platforms out there that could be used are:
http://www.meetup.com/sdgiants/ (this is an example of how it could work)
https://liftshare.com/uk/account
Both are very easy to sign up to, (via Facebook is an option) and are pretty user friendly in terms of starting groups.
Any thoughts or views are welcome. I thought it would be useful to start this conversation on the forums!
Thanks,
Amit

I travel from Perth by car.
Could the club not set something up on the website, specifically for Hibs games?But you know it ain't all about wealth,
as long as you make a note to .. EXPRESS YOURSELF!

I'm amazed anybody wants to do this. What happens if you end up sharing a car with an absolute fud?! You'd have a nightmare shaking them off for the rest of the season! Was bad enough travelling on supporters busses when I used to go to away games!
Good luck to anyone giving it a go though.

Done it a few times from down here and always fortunate enough to meet good hibbies with roots in the city. Still up for it but the bands dwindling so my last two trips were by train alone. Cheaper to buy a car! Originally Posted by bingo70

I travel from next door to the stadium so not required for me but I do think it's a good idea ... Even if it brings a few more folk to the game it's worth it

On the flip side you could make a Hibee friend for life. Originally Posted by bingo70

Turns out everybody that I have travelled down with over the years has had this problem. They must have been unlucky, it's never happened to me. Originally Posted by bingo70

I know lying on a beach in Dumfries in October is the height of luxury. No comparison really. Originally Posted by Jones28
