Mixu penalty miss was the wee Hearts allocation because of the rebuild. Bittersweet one for Hearts that day. The end of the game was hilarious, but that draw also meant our first season without a win over Hibs for about 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even winning 4 nil the week before didn't really shift a lot of folk. I was there but loads didn't go There are certain conversations from years ago that stick in the mind. I remember clearly my old man telling me there was not a fucking prayer of spending what Hibs were asking for that game to go and see a match we could watch on the telly. It's hard to put yourself back in time far enough to remember how outrageous 26 quid was then. I think the previous season had been 15. I've got the ticket lying around somewhere. Maybe 18. * Yes, I am that sad. Just found it in my old ticket envelope. March 2000, 18 quid to get in. The following season, 26 quid. The equivalent of a fourteen quid price rise today. Was a weird time for clubs trying to both join English clubs in cashing in on price rises post-all seater and taking into account that people could just watch on telly now. Hibs were way over the score for a few years in terms of pricing, and it showed in these games. I think they all charge too much these days anyway and only occasionally get along to see Hearts. So, tomorrow I'll be following this one on the radio from Clyde v Dumbarton. Edited October 6, 2023 by DoingThe42 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hibernian had about 9,000 season ticket holders at the time of the 6-2 game yet the Hibs end with even higher ticket prices in the East and West was sold out. Yet the big team Rover drivers protested about ticket prices and never went because was on TV and nothing to do with us being top of the league and knowing they would get smashed Mon the fuckin cabbage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in West Edinburgh, it's heavy already and not scheduled to stop. Our drainage is genuinely really good so might cope, but pitch could end up a bit of a mess if it goes ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't worried about being smashed. Hibs were favourites but we went into the game having won 4 out of 5, one of which was beating a good Stuttgart team and we'd scored 10 goals in the 3 games before it. We weren't exactly going in as a rabble. Plus you weren't top of the league, not even close. It was 100% about ticket prices. Apart from that though it's a good bit bravado. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pumped the **** to go top of the league the week before (Zitelli 1-0). You boys knew what was coming. Hibs were 8 points off the top of the league going into the 6-2 game. In October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I can't think of one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost there new year 96 and then beat them 4-0 there a year later, and the other trips there around that time all went ahead as far as I can remember. I think they were the only winter trips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Miller scored in both games when they were played, which explains why I'd thought he scored twice in 95. 94 was a 1-1 draw and 95 McPherson and Miller scored in a 2-0 win. I'd completely forgotten the 94 one, but now having seen it on LH I can remember Miller's goal. Weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather is bad, but I am pretty sure I have been to loads of games where its pished down all week in the lead up. Recent new pitch at tynecastle had (iirc) new drainage installed so I dont see this being an issue.

Molotov Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 As a neutral who doesn’t have a game today I’ll try and catch this game online. It just sums up how much of a bigot fest our game has become that this match is not considered for a TV broadcast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
