Attended with my girlfriend and teenage daughter last night and has the misfortune to be surrounded by idiots who spent the whole match screaming obsceneties at anyone who dared come close to them! Probably my worst away day experience.

I expect bad language at a game, but for female stewards and police officers simply walking along the track, to be screamed at "You're an effing slut", "you effing whore". Male stewards with glasses were effing specky c***s. Peter Pawlett is an effing paedophile and an effing dog s***ger. Harkes was an effing Amercian p***k everytime he did something.

The same guys around us sang the Mercer song a few times too, took swigs from their buckfast bottles throughout and were generally a nightmare to be around.

There was no opportunity to move as it was like sardines around us and generally no idea if spare room elsewhere. My girlfriend was leaving at 90 minutes, even if game had gone to extra time.

Sure enough, with the constant shouting, came the spots of saliva landing on us and when I pointed out that I wasn't a fan of their saliva landing on my head, came the laughter and the comments that I should have stayed at home.

We came away delighted with the result but the night was tarnished with the behaviour of these idiots. Embarassing behaviour from them and we don't need them.

horrible unpleasant experience for you and your family and to think some mention on another thread they would like alcohol served during the game, perish the thought of what they eejits would have been like with even more alcohol

and before anyone says it yes i know the majority would be a tad more civil even if tanked up

We usually only take around 15,000 or so to League cup semi finals of late

This is our first big day out at hampden since the pandemic hit. I’d honestly be surprised and disappointed to turn up to a half empty Hibs end.

12000? I’d be expecting us to sell our half of the stadium, no questions asked. Team are flying and it’s a huge game for the club, players have done their bit.

12k would be good imo. End of November in the Weege.

I think our last 2 semis we had about 7000 V Celtic under Heckingbottom and about 10,000 under Lennon? About 6000 v Rangers in 2004.

I’m still saying 12,000 would be good.

Anti social morons

Not the first time an element of our away support has let the club down this season ( Jase)

Should have been ejected from the Ground

Puts our proud club in a bad light

Embarrassing

You say they sang the mercer song a few times like that’s a bad thing. That chant should be sung loud and proud at every opportunity. I’d also be extremely impressed if fans of our club knew Ian Herkes was American while steaming at a game. Wouldn’t have had any clue.

That is very Rangers like defensive chat.

What you describe is hellish and crosses the line where you have to do something about it..
Given it is a group that just means using your phone? No need to be overt about it.
Without that some Hibs supporters will accuse you of making it up if no other folk at the game are mentioning it.
More importantly these morons will continue to abuse people wherever they go.

Nothing random about Ian Harkes, son of the better known John Harkes.
He has been playing for Dundee Utd for a few years now.
It does amaze me how little some supporters know about the teams and players in Scottish football yet insist on having opinions about it.
Fortunately I didn't hear said cretins last night and am therefore assuming they were ironically housed in the Fair Play stand.

I know plenty about them as players, but tend not to worry about nationalities unless they are regular internationals. Whether someone has been playing for years or not, doesn’t change that fact. I also have absolutely zero idea who John Harkes is, but presume he was before my time.

[Stuart93]

There were a couple younger boys in the row in front of me swigging cans of tennents quite brazenly.

They were escorted out by stewards without much fuss not too long into the first half. One of the stewards exclaimed they’d be spending the night in Bell Street cells.

It's mentioned every time Dundee United play live on TV that he's a sceptic tank. His Dad was also a pretty famous USA internationalist.

We've never taken over 20k to a League Cup Semi so not sure why you'd be surprised? The fact it's Rangers will put some people off as well.

Sorry, whilst wiping their saliva from my head, should have turned and commented on how impressed i was with his football knowledge 🙄.

Care to comment on whether the rest of my post is deemed acceptable behaviour?

Yes, lower section of Fair Play stand, just about level with penalty spot.

Very unpleasant, grateful I didn't have to suffer them.
Hibees in the Jerry Kerr stand were in good fettle and the guy next to me was quietly singing the very catchy United song which I quietly joined him in.
Only problem of the night was the turnstiles broke before the game so we spent almost half an hour in a non covid compliant static queue and missed the first 8 minutes including the 1st goal.
Wasn't at all happy at that and thought the 300 Hibees who suffered that fate kept their **** together very well in the circumstances.

If we take 12k to the biggest game of our season, after the past 2 years of misery in the world (which is less than our average attendance) then it would be rather poor.

If you want less bigotry and potential for violence then buy more tickets and keep more of them out.

Yeah let’s avoid a new revenue stream and cater to the majority who would have a drink and behave sensibly because a minority of ejits act like they have just had their first pint.

By your logic we will never progress as a society around alcohol consumption and it will always be the forbidden fruit that leads to some ramming it down their throats before the game as can’t get a drink for the next couple of hours.

Exactly, same as no drinking on transport to and from games. Folk end up tanking themselves before they get on the bus, and ram it down their throat in the pub prior to the game, whereas if it was allowed then it would be done in moderation in the main, throughout the whole journey.

It looks like the club are counting bums on seats this season when announcing the attendance rather than anything over and above season tickets. 13k attendance is a fair drop off.

I don't think they are.
Reckon our attendances are ST'S plus walk ups.
Approx 11,100 ST's 2000 walk ups and 400 away fans.
Looks like we have lost 2,500 supporters from pre covid times.
Hopefully get our ST'S up towards 13,000 for next season.

One of my most enjoyable nights as a Hibs fan was beating them in the cIS cup semi final in 2007…I think there was about 5k max Hibs fans there that night ….the support will be what it will be …there is no chance it will be 20k
