I was at that replay at East End Park in '81 with my Dad.

I mentioned previously how low the crowd was at the first game at ER and I'm sure there was about 2-3k more at this one.


Strangely, it was quite common then to play in front of poor crowds at ER but pretty decent attendances, with a big travelling Hibs support, when we played the same teams away from home.

Quite similar maybe with what we see with Kilmarnock in recent times. Poor home attendances but a very good away support. They must have a high percentage of their home support attending away games, where by contrast, despite our home attendances rising quite considerably over the years our travelling support hasn’t really changed in size over time. If anything it’s smaller than what it once was.

Hibernian 4 v 1 Dunfermline Athletic

K Miller
Brebner
Murray
Collins


An easy victory for HIBS on a wind swept Easter Road

Young Kenny Miller was alert and rushed into the box to head home the opener after only two minutes

Matty Jack gave Dunfermline a lifeline after 30 minutes when he was uncharacteristically short with a pass-back and could only watch in horror as David Graham waltzed around Colgan to fire home the equaliser

Grant Brebner eased the hibee nerves just before half-time when he restored HIBS’ lead

Second half and HIBS gave a debut to young Ian Murray who scored with his first touch firing home from close range after a Kenny Miller effort had been blocked on the line

HIBS now stepped up the pressure as the wind increased and it was obvious that poor Dunfermline were being outclassed

Derek Collins scored his first goal for the club to complete an easy victory when he lobbed Pars keeper Mampaey with only minutes to go

Hibs knocked out Premier League St Johnstone after a titanic struggle at a cold and snowy Tynecastle Park

Hibs took the lead on the half hour when Jason Cummings calmly rolled in a controversial penalty award

Hibs’ delight was short lived however as ex hibee David Wotherspoon swung in a superb ball and Joe Shaughnessy angled a header into Mark Oxley’s top left hand corner

Into the second half and Simon Lappin rattled Oxley’s crossbar with a freekick as the game swung from end to end

With 15 minutes to go John McGinn scored with a low drive from distance as HIBS started to dominate

Think that Clyde game was at Firhill. Absolutely Baltic. Also think it was Miller's first goal for Hibs - a cross-cum-shot (to be generous) that deceived the keeper.

Edit: 1991 Clyde game obviously

I was at this game in 1991 at Firhill. Yes, it was utterly Baltic.

Parked the car near Ruchill Park (the place where Chic Charnley chased some locals brandishing swords) and after the game we were treated to some Ruchill/Possilpark hospitality as locals lobbed stones from the houses.

Possil, the only place in Scotland where you keep stones INSIDE the hoose!! 😮

I'd given up my season ticket a number of years earlier and hadn't been back due to real life priorities. Then Hibs announced a share issue but only to those fans on the database, and this was the game I picked to buy a ticket so that I was eligible. Despite the ending, I attended a few more games for a couple of seasons when time permitted, before finally cracking and getting another season ticket.
