I know it's difficult times just now being a Hibby but growing up in West Lothian a long time ago I found myself loving football and deciding I had to choose one of the big four clubs in the central belt. Even at an early age, I realised religion has no place in football so I chose the only non sectarian club from Rangers, Hearts and Celtic.
A decision I will never regret.
What about you lot?

In times like this it's important to remember why we started supporting Hibernian FC

Yep, got my dad, my uncle and auntie, and cousins to blame.
I took it out on my kids, if I have to be a Hibby then so do they. And they can bloody well enjoy it.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Have my dad to blame. Could have been a Hearts or Rangers fan instead.

Grew up in a staunch Hearts family but was obviously interfered with by nonce Uncles from an early age, so opted for Hibs.

My dad lifted me over the turnstiles as a nipper and I was hooked.

My dad for me. His sister married a Jambo and seeing the way my uncle and cousin go about their business with regards to anything football related I'm delighted I'm green.

Apparently my dad warned me about being a Hibs supporter. How was I able to make a decision at such a young age Originally Posted by Hermit Crab

My father was a Hibby
My grandfather was a Hibby
I was brought up in Montgomery St
I went to Leith Academy
My grandfather had a shop on Easter Road
My father worked in Leith Walk
Both of them lived and died as Hibbys. Neither of them saw a Scottish Cup win.
This is why I will be there on Saturday. For them and for me........

Hibernian family Hibernian supporters as mates, do I regret it?. Not a chance especially when I look at the alternatives.

I support Hibs because when I was wee I liked green more than maroon.
Really makes you think.

Don't recall anything about football until I started primary school and found my new friends supported Hibs.
Never regretted it.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

My grandfather liked Hibs and I always liked the color green otherwise I would have been a cheat.

Dad was a lifelong Hibby, went to a Hibs supporting school in Restalrig, brought up in a Hibs neighborhood within sight and earshot of the stadium, I never stood a chance of supporting any other team...oh, and when I cut myself I bleed green too.

Mind you, even I hadn't banked on so much misery and disappointment since then.

Began life in Brunton Terrace with a father with Rankgers tendencies and Jamboes all around. Hibs were then and are now as far as I am concerned the greatest and the best. Smith, Johnstone, Reilly, Turnbull and Ormond. It was a no brainier! I used to go down to the ground on my tricycle and ask to be lifted over. I suppose when eventually I was the men who did it could be called child molesters but I have never ever regretted being a Hibby.
GGTTH. And this Saturday we will do it.

When I was young I saw Hibs at ER, while I was visiting Scotland. A family member pointed out how me and my dad looked so much like the rest of the crowd, being of Scottish ancestry. For that I chose to support Hibs. On the same trip saw old rangers at Tottenham, their fans were ridiculous and I have hated them since.
Looking forward to a win on Saturday, and will be watching again on Hibs TV next season.

The punters bleating away about how a win on Saturday would somehow be devalued because we didn't go up should read this and remember all the generations who never saw the Hibs captain lift the Cup. Originally Posted by Topographic Hibby

My dad's dad was a Yam. He was an absolutely wolloper of a man, by all accounts. My dads uncle was a staunch Hibee with season tickets for him and his kids and then took my dad under his wing. My dad chose hibs.
I followed suit and now my kids follow me.

My dad was a rangers supporter, luckily my best mate (god bless him) was a hibee and as soon as I was old enough went to the games with him, mind you that was 50 years ago.

Coin toss when I started to go and watch football. Thank **** it landed on Hibernian and a season ticket in the north lower was bought the season we came back up. Only realised how much I had fallen in love with hibs the sauzees teeth match.
