Fair enough, never seen who you supported on the app. Okay, never seen the layout other than on a laptop so didn't realise my team didn't show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have ended up skelping some jambos who've attacked me on a couple of occasions though. 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. Get off this thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue wee neds saying "Yer getting murdered" and coins and stones being thrown from the home terrace which went over the head of an oblivious polis standing by the corner flag. One coin hit the other fan on the napper (I had to supress a chuckle as I didn't really like him. It wasn't GordonD- he usually got hit on the head with coins when he dropped them). Meadowbank won though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinho Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) The Main Stand entrance at Easter Road before and after. A stand that no doubt boasts one of the most incredible stories in sporting history. When renovation works were being carried out at Hibernian's Easter Road Stadium in the 1950s, a harp crest symbolising the club's Irish roots on display at the stadium was removed and subsequently did not reappear when work had finished. It is alleged an Irish gypsy woman therefore placed a curse upon the club until the harp returned. Hibs went on to endure one of sports longest hoodoos - losing 10 Scottish Cup Finals over a period of 114 years. During the 2015-16 season, Hibs' modern day badge (which includes the harp) was placed upon the facade of the main stand (pictured). Incredibly, Hibs went on to end their Scottish Cup drought at the first time of asking, only eight months after the harp had been reinstated back onto the walls of Easter Road.

So what was the excuse for no cup wins between 1902 and 1950-whatever when the harp was still there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Didn’t realise the wee wing stand next to the main stand was around that early. Sadly demolished when the big Dick end was built. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
