Re: Pannini Stickers - Hibs '84 & '85

By coincidence, I was in the library recently, researching something totally unrelated to football, about something that happened in the weekend of 5-7th April 1985, for an essay. I was trying to get a picture of what was happening in Glasgow that weekend.

It was the Easter holiday weekend and Hibs had a do-or-die must-win match against Dumbarton, away, to try and stay in the Premier League. The club, or it could have been the chairman Kenny Waugh, paid for a fleet of 30 coaches for Hibs fans to go through west. Apparently he sent a letter to every coach to tel fans to behave! Hibs won the game and stayed up.

Anyone go through to the game against Dumbarton? And this might seem like a really weird question, but anyone remember what the weather was like that afternoon?
I was at that game. I got to Dumbarton early doors because of the anticipated big crowd. I'd say the weather was fine because I hung about outside Boghead for a good wee while. Don't remember it being either roasting or particularly wet.
