Its a bit sad it's far flung supporters that are so keen to get something like this organised while in Leith all there is is tumbleweed!
While this is happening in London I've heard of similar happening in places like Australia and New Zealand ... and still the tumbleweed blows in the wind down Easter Road!
Opportunity surely for the Football club or even the Hibs Supporters Club to fill the gap.Last edited by Jack; 24-10-2016 at 07:52 PM.

It might be obvious, but I'm not that bright

FWIW - the club sponsors are also pivotal players and can help pull a few strings. Recently, Whyte & MaKay and Crabbies supplied us with as much booze as we could drink (we gave it our best shot and our livers took one for the team) and McEwan Fraser helped us with some fantastic hospitality packages and merchandise for raffle prizes. Marathon Bet (who I met on Friday) are also going to play a blinder and will make this a night to remember. It's simply great PR and a win/win with a minimal outlay.
It's more about being proactive rather than simply being reactive. I shudder to think how much cash our members spend on following Hibs and an event such as this is us getting something back.
Far be it for me to decry what other branches are or aren't doing - but we're simply trying to raise as much money as possible so we can continue to purchase season tickets for our members (which we rarely use).

Happy to "Address the haggis" if needed? One of the few recitations I can deliver. I love holy Wullie's prayer and of course Tam o Shanter

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but...
...if anyone is still interested in attending our Burns Night on the 28th January, can you drop me a PM with your email address so I can add you to the list. We've only got a handful of tickets left and this will be a ticket only event. No ticket = No entry.
We also have two options for the Saturday afternoon. We are attempting to get a live feed of the match against QoS and our plan is to show this in a private cinema in Central London. All parties are in agreement, however this is dependent on the quality of infrastructure at Palmerston Park. If they don't have a suitable fibre optic cable, then it might be a non-starter.
We do have a Plan B - if there is no live feed, we're going to show the 'Time for Hero's' DVD with the sound turned up to full volume .

[QUOTE=HUTCHYHIBBY;4854142]Have you had any joy with this approach when football stadiums sell out
When you are holding an event with a lot of interest (such as a cup final) you book a bigger venue (Hampden rather than Tynie ). There's a bigger pub around the corner on Kingsway for a start, and 3 months before the event.

Why aren't you on the London Hibs Mailing List? You'd have known about this months ago.
