Trying to change your flights with BMI Baby is like trying to convince a bluenose that green is beautiful.
I watched the cup tie in the Bear in Cowbridge and believe me, me and the old man celebrated like mad. Later on watching the England-Wales rugby game in another boozer my Dad still had his old (Planet Saturn badge) Hibs scarf on!
I attended the game on Feb 18th; you may have noticed a guy with a bad haircut, topless, covered in Hibs tattoos. That was me. I did the same at Pittodrie on Sat Oct 22nd (it was Mark McCabe's bday and the e 6-2). I moved down to Wales after being sacked by TSPL (I still won't read their papers) in Nov 2004 and I also attended last year's Cup Semi. In life, you have to cut your coat according to your cloth, so while I accept there are guys who week in, week out travel miles, greater distances than I do, to watch and support Hibernian FC, I come up as often as I can afford to.
With regard to the point about Hertz' recent European ties at Murrayfield, I don't think that this will have any significant bearing on the match itself. They've signed a lot of new players since then and European games are very different to the blood and snotters, Linford Christie on speed type of matches when Two Tribes Go To War.

I have no reason to doubt your love of Hibs or the lengths you have gone/would go to see them play. My only wish is to see us reach the Scottish Cup Final,i am more than happy to see as many Hibees as possible get to see the Semi wherever it may be played.
TM is an astute manager & i am sure any decision he & the club come to,will be with the players uppermost in their thoughts.It is only right that the benefits of playing at Murrayfield should be explored & great consideration given to all Hibs supporters who wish to see this match.At the end of the day whether the game is played at Hampden or Murrayfield i feel on behalf of Hibernian fc TM should nominate the venue in his opinion that best suits our players.
Just my personal feelings but i would always want to stay clear of Murrayfield(although it's a fantastic stadium)to near swinecastle for me & these gunts see it as a home game.Petty statement but that's me,well i really do hope wherever it is played you get ticket's.Will look out for your hair style & tattoos maybe have a beer to celebrate.
