You think there's going to be public transport infrastructure set up for 20 games a season like?It's not even built FFS.
I think I've said in this thread before that building it near a rail line would alleviate the transport issues and you can scale that. Expecting 20k to rock up in cars and buses with no issues seems wildly optimistic. Fucking Mcdiarmid Park at half the capacity, nearer the city, and a fifth of the crowd is a pain in the hole.0 -
So Pittodrie is an ideal location for anyone using public transport. The new stadium has virtually no public transport and you're entirely reliant on cars or the proposed shuttle bus supposed to be running.Pointless post. It may be an ideal location for folk who bus to Union street beforehand or live within walking distance but it's a nightmare for anyone traveling by car.
I've no idea about Aberdeen, but I know that in Edinburgh lots of people specifically don't get cars because they can get public transport. A cursory look at the car ownership percentage in Aberdeen City suggests about 41% car ownership for over 17s according to Scottish government figures. Which isn't much higher than Edinburghs 35%.
Seems awful like about 60% of your city will be relying on lifts or the shuttle buses. So possibly is a bit relevant.2 -
Pittodrie is about a 20 minute walk from Union Street. Half an hour from the station. Pretty sure the new stadium is further away than that.I think it speaks volumes that the majority of folk upvoting posts stating the location of the stadium should be in the City Centre are from fans of other clubs with no real grasp of the current location etc.
If you're to look at a map of Aberdeen, it's hardly in an ideal location as it is.2 -
Windsor is open at 9.Sorted.
Looking forward to some early beers before the inevitable come down of close proximity to so many cardigan wearing masons.......................

Cracking photo. If the year is right Hibs won 2-0 with goals from Gordon Smith and Eddie Turnbull, played in front of 40k and the game was on a Wednesday so fair amount of workshy fuckers in Aberdeen at the time apparently.An old image of the Merkland Road end of a packed Pittodrie for Aberdeen v Hibs in 1947 I seen on Twitter earlier getting that retrospective colour treatment thing.

I thought it was decent. Maybe 15 minutes too long, and I'm appalled that they didn't show the reaction to Celtics last minute winner at Tynecastle while they were filming.

Is it? You can tell that how? Given that he is falling over backwards having been rugby tackled.By the letter of the law it is a red. It doesn't matter if he touches him or not the intent is there.
The ref is 10 yards away looking directly at it from an angle we can't see from TV. I don't think he touched him. And it's pretty hard to look at intent from the pictures seen given how he's falling.
Wright is way more likely to be cited than Mcnulty imo.0 -
A red card? For Mcnulty? He literally doesn't touch him having just been rugby tackled. You can tell by McGowans reaction that there's no contact.[emoji38] we were all over Hibs, had a penalty go unnoticed and you should have had a red card to boot.
We were just unlucky and that's all it came down to.
If anyone gets cited from that game it's going to be Wright for his knee to Milligans head.
Beyond the four goals Hibs did score, they also missed about 4 chances where a pass to someone unmarked in the middle of the box would have lead to a much clearer chance that you'd expect to score.
Unlucky yer absolute hole. Dundee were okay going forward (scored 2 very decent goals) but could not remotely cope with players getting behind their full backs or the movement of Kamberi and Mcnulty.1 -
Why the f**k would keeping the manager who'd won 2 games out of the last 17 be inspiring? He'd every chance from me to turn it round because he done it last year, but he'd be sackable on both results and performances this season.
Stubbs till end of the season would have been smarter, or keeping Lenny of course. We still don't know WTF happened there which I find pretty unacceptable.0 -
How would Gauld be talking about what "apparently" happened at training. He'd have been there... This is complete baws imo.

Stubbs comes back and Hibs win the cup. Then leaves because Hibs only gave him a contract to the end of the season...

His finishing is fucking woeful. He is decent when he doesn't have time to think about it and has scored a couple of worldies when that happens. As soon as he's taken a couple of touches to get in front of goal he turns into a puppet with some strings tangled up. It's improved a bit over the last couple of years, but it's still pretty shite.He does look like a flying machine. When I saw him against Livi at Easter Rd I thought, 'he could get a goal here'. I saw him on tv in another game and thought the same... but then looking at the stats he really doesn't seem to score a lot for how, ahem, penetrative his play is. Maybe he just has bags of potential
Am i talking sh1te?
A shame he's had a bad injury. It'll be good to see him back on the park.
Regardless of that he'll be missed. You're not expecting too many goals, but his pace really unsettles teams. He sets up a lot of chances too.2 -
Goodnight actual Nigerian Prince 🤴
Honestly think Efe has been our best ball playing defender since Sauzee. And for all the talk of his mistakes, I'm pretty convinced he's cost us less goals than anyone he's played with apart from Porteous.
Huge loss to us.4 -
There were figures floating about a few years back that about 85% of Hibs database were within Edinburgh, Hearts were about 60% iirc although that was maybe ST holders rather than the full database.Dunno about the numbers, but that point is definitely true. Hearts were always keener on moving out of town (Millerhill, Hermiston and Straiton, in about that order) than Hibs (Straiton x2) when those ideas were being kicked around in the 1990s / early 2000s, and mainly for that reason.0 -
Honestly I've never met a Jambo from Gorgie. Know a few who've moved there obviously, but have known plenty Hibbies born and bred. I know more jambos from Leith than Gorgie. One of my mates went to Tynecastle and reckoned it was about 70/30 Jambo Hibbies, but that was due to Saughton rather than Gorgie itself which he thought was close to 50/50.[emoji38] Somebody has manipulated that somehow surely. Gorgies nearly 80% green.
Edinburgh as a whole has comfortably more Hibbies than jambos imo. Its outside the city in West Lothian, and Midlothian where it equalises.2 -
Their last goal was Andy Halliday gesturing "I've got this".Losing 6 consecutive games at Hampden. 5 of them semi-finals without scoring. Premium banter
Spoiler alert. He hadn't.9 -
Undefeated in 10 months at home.Except we've already dispatched one of the Old Firm, bud.
You've failed to win in both your games against any of the big boys so far, both at home.
Unlucky.

I'm sure he's got an alert on his phone for any pearls of wisdom you drop right enough.Lenny must read my posts on our left back situ.
Anyway... Cover for Stevenson is redundant. If he's no better than him then it's a stupid signing since Stevenson is never injured. If he is capable of covering right back as well that's much more understandable because the chances of a full season of Gray is pretty fucking minimal.0 -
Milligan has his work permit through. Available for next week.

Efe to midfield and we'll win the treble.

"Wibble" would have been more concise and got your message over the exact same.Gordon, dontcha know they're all hard men ? Austinho's avatar, Lebowski's bravado etc. The rest of the tag team like to indulge in a bit of nudge-nudge, wink-wink I used to hang out with the casuals bollocks.0 -
Fair enough, never seen who you supported on the app.Particularly by thick Hibbies who can't tell the difference between Hearts and Meadowbank supporters. Or were your eyes still watering?0 -
Never been involved with the casuals at all other than a few beers with them on occasion. Have ended up skelping some jambos who've attacked me on a couple of occasions though.Battered by you Lebowski ? Or "big boys" that you latched on to - boys that gave you a wigwam in your trousers.
How about you, been battered off Hibbies a few times aye?
Fwiw I was in the terracing the day of that game, if anyone had sung that song to me I'd have knocked them out. Legitimately terrifying. A year before Hillsborough and a stupidly big crowd. I was pinned to the end of a crush barrier for a few seconds and only was able to move after some boy braced himself away from it to let me get off it. Mate I was with broke his ankle after tripping in the crush to get out and being trampled.0 -
It's somehow unsurprising that jambos were getting battered up and down the length of Edinburgh for decades around this time when you see stuff like this.I remember that. We composed a song in support of our fellow citizens:
Nobody knows where that gas cloud came from
It's spoiling my view of the game
I'm wandering around now with tears in my eyes
It's just a crying shame
I'm a Hibby and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you!2
