What's the latest that you've turned up

[iwasthere1972]

Just for a bit fun. I've turned up in Motherwell once for a match that had been postponed earlier on in the Morning, I've been on my way to some games only to find out that they've been postponed (Most recent was Greenock a few seasons ago when the match was postponed as our bus was approaching the stadium and we all had to go to the local pub and drink beer....it was a struggle) but what the latest that you've turned up for a match?

Mine if I remember correctly was in 1973 against Rangers (remember them?) at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup. Left Edinburgh on the train and at that time I think we all thought that the train driver had gone the wrong way as we ended up in Motherwell before going on to Glasgow. Arrived in Ibrox just after half time with a hun wanting a fight. Told him to do one and he did. Game finished 1-1 and unfortunately we lost the replay a few days later at Easter Road. There was 49,000 there with loads of supporters locked out including yours truly.

What was yours?

The Bonnyrigg Hibs bus of the 80s , once broke down on route to Aberdeen , then our replacement bus broke down in Dundee .We ended up on a Dundee Tay double decker . The bonus being ,every time they broke down ,was outside a boozer :) think we got to the game sometime in the second half .

I drove from York to Tannadice via South Gyle in the early 80s abd turned up for the game at half time.

We were losing 5-0.

Missed the first two goals in the 4-0 demolition of the Huns on Bixing Day a few years ago. My flight from Heathrow was due in to Edinburgh at 09:30, ended up sitting on the tarmac for an hour and a half. Got to the gate as the second went in.

Are you sure that that wasn't the FT score and that it was only 2-0 at HT

Missed all four cos my old man fancied one more pint in the Wheatie... i was 9 yrs old and left standing outside while he had his swallae'

Just got our place in time at the school end to see corky volley the first of 7 on THAT day. Otherwise usually in to see the green emerge from the tunnel. Feeling and excitement of that has never left my old bones.....oops nearly said boner there

I knew that version of Hibbyradge well and I reckon you’ve got it 50% right.

Back in the 70's,at Easter Road,final game of the season,after an afternoon in Mac's Bar,we rolled in to the old enclosure with about 15 minutes to go,with the score at 7-2 for Hibs,to see three more goals..9-3 final score...

Hmmm My memory can't be trusted, right enough.

I know we lost 5-0 and I always thought that was the half time score, but I suppose it's possible I've been mistaken.

We got a 5-0,pumping there maybe Jan 84, think it was SPs 21st. Maurice ****ing Malpas scored IIRC.

I do remember a 9-1 and a 9-2 but not a 9-3 or is my memory getting worse than I thought.

[The 90+2]

Half hour late the Southern bus was to the LC final against Livi, all of us running down the motorway. ****in waste that was.

[Halmyre Hibee]

We played Meadowbank at Starks Park, Kirkcaldy in Skol Cup in 1990 and my mate booked a bus to depart from our bowling club. It was a midweek game and we were having a good few drinks before the game and the bus arrived. Due to the consumption of the said alcohol nobody noticed that we were going west instead of Fife until someone noticed some place names. After someone spoke to the driver he thought we were going to Kilmarnock not Kirkcaldy. Eventually he found a slip road and about turned. The driver didn’t know Fife very well and we missed the turnoff and ended up going through farmlands in Fife. No sat nav in these days. We got there in time for the ref to blow for half time. It ended 0-0 and Houchen scored in the final minute of extra time for a 1-0 win. My mate never booked a bus again.

Thanks to Citylink being terrible me and my Dad turned up to the second half of Hibs Aberdeen under Mixu. Luckily (?) the game finished 0-0.

[Flanny boy]

Half time at the 6-2 game it was worth it. GGTTH

Yes, it was definitely that match.

So 2-0 at half time and 5-0 final.

I think my mate got thrown out twice during that game too. Or was he arrested. Or maybe it was a different game.

I'm certain of nothing these days!

Well....it was definitely nine for the good guys 😂

[Forza Fred]

In the mid 60’s for a midweek game in Kilmarnock.

Turned up at the supporters club but couldn’t get on the buses leaving as ithey would only take their own branch members.

Had the brilliant idea of getting a train to Glasgow and a bus to Killie

Mate and I raced up to the Waverley and put the plan into action.

Got in with about 10 minutes to go to find out we were getting beat and that Big John MacNamee had already been sent off.

Return trip was worse.

By the time we got to Glasgow the last Edinburgh train had gone, so being only 15 we went to the polis station, and they locked us up for the night in protective custody.

Got out next morning and between us we were just short of two train fares (lyesterday’s ticket not valid)
And made a long convoluted series of bus rides to eventually get into Edinburgh on Thursday afternoon.

Lesson certainly learned!

[Eyrie]

Didn't get to Hampden until half time for the League Cup semi against Huns RIP in 1991.

Learnt my lesson and made sure I was very early for the final.

[Perd Hapley]

turned up with 89 minutes on the clock to a 2-1 loss away to Dumbarton at the start of the promotion season.

Long story.

Edit: *cup winning season

[lord bunberry]

Stranraer when we got relegated in 98. We arrived just before halftime, hibs scored and I mounted a one man pitch invasion. I was quickly arrested and taken away, I think I saw about 20 minutes. I’ve never drunk whisky before the football since.

[Gloucester Hibs]

Turned up for a 2-1 win over Celtic in about 2007 with only about 40 mins to go! Was running late anyway and got my kick off time wrong by +1 hour! Had to get stewards to let me in.

Think it was Scott Brown’s last game for us and he scored as did Ivan and I luckily managed to see both. Think Deeks mibbes scored for Celtic?

Yeah Riordan scores for them Brown with a header equaliser and I think Ivan in the last min took it round the goalie. Lovely summer day too.

[The Baldmans Comb]

I turned up once for a pre season friendly at 2:45pm and could understand why Easter Road and the surrounding area was so quiet as I was obviously in good time.

Turned out it had been a 2:00 kick off and it was actually half time.

A kind steward let me in and I sheepishly took my seat and then tried to quietly find out the score as scoreboard wasn't showing anything.
