    Away Travel / Supporters Club

    Is it be best to join a supporters club for away travel?

    After Saturday I'm buzzing for Hibs again.

    Been away from working for years most of the boys I went to games with are all married with kids now, was driving on own to allot of games but its not the same craic.

    Any advice

    Cheers

    You can go on the buses, as far as I know, without being a member. I go on the Four In Hand branch's bus but am a St. Pat's member but there are travel notices on here before every game anyway, advertising who has space

    There are a few supporters clubs who advertise spare seats on their buses on here regularly. Carlton, Four In Hand, East Lothian and Milton Mowbray all spring instantly to mind.

    We've been having a wee think about running .net buses to a few more away games next season and in the future if there was demand for it. We've let the social side slip a bit in recent years on here and it would be a good way to revive it.

    Would definitely be up for .net buses would be nice to put faces to names on here. Don't think I've met anyone on here at hibs home/away games other than the few people I know who post very rarely so would be good to meet the regulars.

    You're never alone when you follow Hibs. I usually travel up alone (sometimes my brother comes up) but always meet people.

    We are Hibs.

    When I used to go home and away I always enjoyed the banter on supporters buses. The problem now is if there is 3-5 people the car is the cheaper option.

    I didn't go to a single away league game last season but aiming for some next season.

    Admittedly I've felt the same in the past but not letting that stop me next season!

    Theres a guy on twitter - @markyAnderson13 - who's looking to start a fife supporters bus. I normally drive to away games but might be tempted to join next season.

    Is this the same Mark Anderson who was running a bus to the final on Saturday and it never turned up! I said I would pay on the bus but a lot of people pre paid and by all accounts he had never arranged a bus. We were waiting on the bus when fellow Hibbys informed us of the problem. I ended up getting a stagecoach bus to Glasgow from Dunfermline. This is all for future reference if he tries to organise a bus again.

    I never lost anything and everything turned alright in the end so not bothered I phoned him at the time and his phone was off. I know that two boys who got on the stagecoach bus and prepaid tried to contact him with no answer. To me it adds to the story of a day I'll never forget🏆

    I was a member of the Glasgow HSC years ago, I think they amalgamated with another group and formed the west of scotland HSC after I moved south.

    Check the supporters club list on the official site, details were on there

    Doesn't run anymore.

    I'm in Glasgow and have been going to games on my own a lot recently. Couldn't commit to a bus as I work most Saturdays but defo up for meeting up with fellow hibees for games I can go to, even if it's by Choo Choo

    Plenty Westies travel to games. We did run a bus to the Raith Rovers Cup tie. Its a matter of supply and demand, what is the most convenient way to get there etc. Quite often we go by train or just car share.

    That would me me that lost out when the bus didn't show! Still buzzing from last Saturday though and I even recouped my loss on a wee flutter on Stokes to score first!! Needless to say I won't be booking on another one of his buses!

    What happened to the 'Famous Fife' bus. I was on that bus for a while and still see a few of the guys at the games. I used to get picked up at the old 'Cleos' in Rosyth but I'm sure there were stops in Glenrothes, Dalgety Bay & Burnisland.

    This season is the fewest I've been to in probably 5-6 years. Not helped by late fixture changes and the like. Will give you a shout as always when I'm going up though.

    ok. hopefully virgin will have another sale on this season so we can get the trains pre-booked at cracking prices.

    No need to be apprehensive you will be made very welcome on any supporters bus we are family after all. I travel on Milton Mowbray but they're all good if you make the least bit of effort you'll soon make friends.
