Will we ever again get to play the Hearts on a New Years day with a 3 pm kick off ?
To get it played on New Years day I would even accept a 5 pm kick off.
It was a massive part of Edinburgh's festive season and I want it back ! (If and when promoted)
Whats the fans reps input on this one ?

As somebody old enough to have been around when we won the new year game 7-0 I'm aware it's a fixture that will always have a special place in Hibs' history. However, for me the New Year's Day game was more often than not a bit of a pain. Hard to get to by public transport and with a hangover thrown into the equation it tended to feel like more of a duty than a pleasure. And if we got beat it sucked all the joy out of the new year just one day in! I don't actually miss it.

It's not that long since the game was played on NYD. 2011 IIRC, at Tynie.
Not sure what the fans' reps can actually do about this, TBH. We're largely at the mercy of the police and TV companies.Last edited by CropleyWasGod; 02-12-2016 at 09:59 AM.

ie Did we ever push for a 5pm kick off with the TV companies ?
Did the police blank it full stop, or was it a monetary issue that Hibs couldn't and wouldn't swallow ?

Are we really thinking that our 2 elected non executive directors can influence fixtures, TV scheduling and Police Scotland ? For New Year 2018!!

I thibk the 2nd of Jan is a better time for this fixture. tends to be a bit easier for transport, and less folk really hung over. gives you a bit of leeway, to recover from festivities and batter back into it on the 2nd pity we cant play them in a league match, but we may yet meet in the cup so we can show off the trophy next year.
