Forfar Athletic

[King Cosell]

Couldn't remember us ever playing them, so I googled 'Hibs v Forfar head-to-head' and it turns out we've only ever played 4 competitive matches against them, 2 in 1931/32 and 2 in 1932/33. Strange we haven't crossed paths more often. Anyway, cracking little ground, terracing behind goal looks ace. If fans are allowed, I'm defo there, but can't see it.

We played them at ER in the Scottish Cup in 1970 or 71. 8-1 win, if I remember correctly.

Thought it was the first club to go down the tubes through lack of the maroon pound for a second

Dodgy source, thought it sounded strange. SC 1970/71, 2-0 at ER.

According to fitbastats it was 8-1, and we've played them 11 times so far

10 minutes door to door for me, ya dancer. Yet another artificial surface though. I have refereed on this many times and always have sore calfs the next day.

Must just be league games I saw listed. 1970/71 Hibernian F.C. season - Wikipedia have got it down as 2-0. I'm having 8-1.

Definitely 8-1 👍

[BILLYHIBS]

I thought we had played them in the Scottish Cup in the 1980s but it was Brechin City - the pitch wi the Hedge roond it

Celtic played at Forfar that day - the only way the local bizzies could differentiate between the two sets of supporters in green and white was down to our good looks, posh Leith accents and our superior personal hygiene

[The 90+2]

Never been to Station park.

[Iggy Pope]

Not competitive but I seen wee Lewis score a belter at Station Park in a midweek friendly.
I remember also that 8-1 game as a very young boy.

Well worth the visit. Word of warning though, there is only one pie stand so get there early

The best bridies you can buy . It’s worth visiting for them alone. And the mascot is a bridie too.

[The 90+2]

Didn’t Ross Campbell score for Forfar against Rangers at Ibrox?

[green with envy]

Station Park was the only old skool ground that I have never attended, only because Hibs had never played them since I started going regular circa '74. I had seen Hibs play at every other ground in Scotland. Now that we do get a chance to play them, I'll not be allowed to attend. 🙈

we beat hertz at tinycastle in the next round, beat Dundee, then went out in the semi-final replay after Davie Ewings well chosen words against the old ipox team after the 0-0 first game draw at Hampden. "Rangers are rubbish" said Ewing, they scrapped past us again in the replay.

I think you'll find Dr Beeching closed that line way back...

It’s an easy mistake for youngsters. Station Park on Station Road. Sadly nearly 60 years too late. You can follow the route of the line if you’re coming into Forfar on the top road.

Any decent vintage points to watch the game from?

Aye. My mate played for Forfar that night. Scored for Hibs. He said that they couldn’t get near the Hibs players.

[IberianHibernian]

8 v 1 game was week after Joe Baker`s famous return in 2 v 1 win against Aberdeen . Think Joe scored a hattrick against Forfar . Forfar had a good spell in late 70s ( ? ) . Got to cup semis one year at least . Won at Tynecastle the day we drew at Tannadice on day of bus crash . Was goalie Stuart Kennedy who became famous after Wembley humiliation not Forfar`s big star ?

Great cup run where we were so unlucky in the semi replay with Alex Cropley's magnificent cross almost on the bye line for Jimmy O'Rourke to nod it in, although I thought it was going in anyway.

Was a strange season with 3 cup runs (losing to Liverpool in 3rd round of Fairs Cup and to Rangers in LC QF and SC SF ) but finished about 11th in 18 - club league . Lots of big matches but terrible league position . That cup Derby was my first match at Tynecastle and I thought it was just normal to win there - apart from 1 v 4 freak result in late 1973 don`t think I saw us lose there again that decade and I only missed 7 v 0 game .
