..have elapsed between 21 May 2016 and our manager's departure today.
The longest honeymoon in history and without a doubt the most sustained harmony I can ever recall in my 30 and a bit years of supporting Hibs: only for a fleeting glance in the autumn of the 2000 under Mcleish did I see anything similar.
What do you think the next 985 days will bring?

Freeflowing, attacking fitba with pinch of swagger thrown in, and a return of the kit worn by Cropley on the ‘Hibernian images through the years’ thread...

By the way, come to think of it, I've not seen the pigeons for a while.
Did they leave by mutual consent?
I think we should be told.

Top observation. My first game was in 1977 and generally the mood has been poor to bad. Those 985 days most certainly have been exceptional and to be fair perhaps for 18 months before things were getting a lot better. I think the next few years will be well above average. They should be the financial gap between the likes of us, Hearts and Aberdeen and the rest has grown. We remain in much better shape, despite a very poor six months, than at most times I remember.

There was a magical 72 days out of that 985 where he had us playing some great stuff having signed Flo and McLaren and making a run for 2nd place that ultimately ended up with 4th.
The first 300 odd days was a fairly routine Championship win with some brutal football. The previous 180 or so days to now have been fairly dismal with the odd cracking performance and a decent European run.

The thread is not about Lennon, it's about the good feeling that has generally existed at Hibs for 2 and a half years
Even if you didn't feel it most did

I could count on one hand how many times they've been less than I expected. So whilst I could perhaps moan about the health impacts of the greasy fare on offer, and definitely complain about the price I'd have no negative comment to make.
As for the tannoy.....?
I'm back row, half way line in the East with only the TV gantry behind me - and if I can make out one word in ten of what's coming out the speakers then I'm doing well..
HOWEVER!!!! (and this is important to me) I don't care!
Having occasionally sat in the other stands, be it a Cup game, Hibs kids day or whatever - where I COULD hear perfectly well the absolute drivel being spouted over the tannoy I feel blessed to have a seat where I currently do.
Tannoy guy (Barry?) is like every cheesy DJ that you hear on the radio - Just stop talking pish mate and play a tune eh?
