I'm in Argentina now and my partner's family are all big River Plate fans, with the suffering of the past 30 plus years of following Hibs I won't deny any future child the easier River Plate life..

My Dad was a Celtic fan (now converted, by me!) so I can't really complain if my future kids end up choosing someone else.
Would be nice to take them to games though.

My dad is a Hibs fan thanks to his uncle, and he took me when I was young. My oldest had a season ticket for a couple of years but he wasn’t that into it, and towards the end of the second season he was choosing not to go to matches. Fair enough, he’s just not really into football, either watching or playing. My youngest son is football daft, I’ve got us both season tickets for next season so hoping we have some good games to look forward to which cement his love for Hibs.

My grandsons are 6th generation Hibs supporters. Their great great great grandad was from the community that founded the club.
Down the generations, our family have lived all over and outside the town, had all sorts of different jobs, and had all sorts of different views on most things. Hibs are the one constant that links that first generation to the sixth generation which I think is pretty special.
Supporting anyone else has never been an option in our family

Moved to Glasgow when I was 3 - family all Jambos - pals here and at school all Huns.
Daughter came into this world in ‘96 - wife’s family all Celtic and my daughter went to a Uber Hun school.
Happy to report that she is an Uber Hibby despite all the adversity - could not be happier 😁

I haven’t got kids as yet, but I always imagine them being wee hibees. Now I think of it though, other than a nice thing to do with younguns (sometimes), I’m not sure I’d be all that fussy in pushing them to Hibs.. probably let them take their own interest if they want to. Although a few obvious teams would be out of the question ;)
My dad wasn’t a hibs fan. He just wanted his boys to love football. Thankfully Hibs found me :)
***** it, I’ve changed my mind. They’ll be Hibs fans or oot the hoose.

I have to say though, I really questioned what I was subjecting him to at the final whistle of the Ross County game. He was 11 years old and he just looked shell shocked. I looked along the row, and there was another boy of around a similar age, absolutely crying his heart out. If we hadn’t won the Scottish cup that year, I think we may have lost a huge chunk of kids from our support, my son was too young to remember 2007, so all he had experienced following Hibs, was 3 cup final defeats and relegation.

Not at all. Free choice and all that.
When I was old enough to go to games a chose Hibs.
Dad a Rangers fan and grandad a Jambo ( he lived above Tommy Youngers bar though and regularly had parties with both Hibs and Hearts players in attendance).
But my dad waited and let me choose.
I personally think it’s odd seeing babies in a teams colours and the “ newest fan “ thing but each to their own.

However all 3 bar the youngest didn’t enjoy football and were more interested in other sports. The youngest played school and boys club football but it became obvious that he was doing it to please me although I don’t think he didn’t enjoy it. Gradually.he became more interested in Judo and progressed through that to a very high standard, international competition, captained his University team and now coaches, and I couldn’t be more proud of him and his brothers.
l have mixed feelings about it, I did take them to a few games and have watched games with them on TV but it was obvious the interest wasn’t there. I haven’t tried to force football on them but I would have liked to have gone to games with them. However all is not lost my oldest son just became a Dad for the first time and I’m retired now so we’ll see if my little Grand-daughter has the bug and the love of the game and the Hibees has skipped a generation.

On the family thing, my Dad and I made it out mission to take my wee cousin along to Hibs games when he was wee.
He was from a rugby family (Hearts if I had to push them) but he was never going to football.
Mission was accomplished.

If I might ask, how’d you end up choosing the better shade of green when the easier life was there for you?

I have a wee girl and I had her in her hibs top at the weekend. She loved it, she’s nearly two.
But in reality if she chooses to not support them (by not liking the sport) that is fine. If she chooses to support another side, that will be categorically not fine

My 3 wee girls will all support hibs but it won't be rammed down their throats, if they want to go to games they can. My interest has dropped in recent years too.

I’ve no kids but for me I think I’d be delighted if they were Hibs fans, could accept if they didn’t like football at all but would be gutted if they supported someone else.
