Great documentary but there is one obvious mistake in the narrative. Hibs fans weren't "scrambling for tickets" for the League Cup final simply because the final was infamously not an all ticket game. The football authorities and Strathclyde constabulary were only expecting a crowd of around 30,000 for the final so allowed they it to be a pay at the turnstiles match. In the event almost double the anticipated 30,000 turned up, most of them Hibs fans. The ground quickly filled and the gates were closed. I was one of around 6,000 Hibs fans locked out. It was sickening. Our first trophy in a generation and I missed it because of the incompetence of the Scottish football authorities and coppers. At least I was able to get in for the last few minutes and see Murdo McLeod lift the cup.
charliepeebles There was more than 30000 of us at that game mate.spoke to a lot of fellow hibbys about this & there must have been around 40000 of us in the ground.🇳🇬🇳🇬
I remember chasing my mates out the pub, when they wanted to have one more before going to the ground. As it happened 2 turnstiles shut in front of us, but thankfully we got in through the third one we tried.
Crack vid by the way Isla....that other league cup final v Killie...5.0...that was top class football...think young broony was a standout then...great team and wished they had stayed together...that lot coulda won the TITLE...Slainte mo chara.
Tell all the hearts you know Wallace Mercer is dead and we're no one city one team it will always be green The hibs re still here and your no... Your going bust,Your going bust Your going, Hearts are going bust
Can't remember much about the game but we got back from hampden & went straight to ER & it was a good 2 or 3 hour's we waited in the ground for the team to get there HE'S DEED
Old Hampden so terracing and we just paid on the gate and watched the greatest final ever! And my mate brought his girlfriend who asked at half time 'where is the ladies?' Errr...good question.
@ snare drummer ,answer to yer question fuckin aye they do ,hibs were 24 hours fi going out of buisness ,we aw went to school in a jambo area knowing that when I get back fi school ,hibs will be nomore,imagine loosing yer club,this team made us proud again,tell every cunt standing at the maybury that wonderful Sunday evening waiting for the hibs bus parading the cup ,I ken it was a flippant remark ,for us it was heaven,ggtth
Absolutely! If they were just in it for winning the League Cup, no. When you throw in the circumstances of them close to being bust, under threat from the Mercer Merger, the whole Hands Off Hibs campaign, the poor league form featuring a drubbing by Hearts to then be saved by a new owner and league reconstuction, then turn it around, beating Rangers in the Semis of the League Cup to then win the thing is pretty extraordinary. I think your whole idea of it being solely focused on just a League Cup trophy misses the point and the magnitude of a great moment in Scottish football history, after all, we were talking about the loss of two seperate entities of Hearts and Hibs dissapearing potentially.
Went 2 every round hame and away,sheer relief, with my old pals Colin McDonald and his brother Jamie 💚✋😉🏴

They volunteered in the first ww1& ww2 so I think they deserve their respect
What has this got to do with Hibs? 😂

Did Hibs really deserve a slot in this series just because they won the league cup??
