What Team does/ did your Dad support - HibeesBounce.com

**1875** · 19-09-07, 17:42

As way of an update on a poll we did on the bounce a few years ago under Williamson, where it was revealed almost 50% of bouncers fathers had been Jambos, it was suggested we do an update to see how things lie now.

We have had a lot of changes since then, both on the bounce and in the fans, with younger guys now posting here and crowds almost doubling since the days of the moonface.

To get this rolling, we will start with yur Faither's...click the relevant choice above.

My old man is Yam, although he hasnae set foot in the Bus Shelter in over 30 years.

My Dad is a Hibby through and through. Used to play for them as well

Not many games though mind you, when Alex Miller came in he got rid of a lot of East Coast laddies and brought in boys from the west

If that hadn't of happened then you never know...

My dad is hibby and would have abandoned me if i wasn't.

**hibeesbounceross** · 19-09-07, 17:49

Dad is a Rangers Fan.

Although most are Celtic and Hearts.

I seen the light!

**Decal Joe** · 19-09-07, 17:56

My Dad is none of the above.

He comes from Hawick and supports a different set of Greens, he detests Fitba.

oo2beahibby · 19-09-07, 17:58

My Dad is a Hibby, although my Grandad was a junior fitba man and was involved with Dalkeith Thistle in the 50s/60s.

Thank you, Kind Sir.

The folk with Hertz supporting Dads might get a bit confused now as my option could double up as there's!

**PILTONSTANY** · 19-09-07, 18:05

Hibernian

I'm currently blackmailing my 4 year old with promises of visits to the pub with grandad for crisps and juice before ER as her mind is being tempted by West Lothian Hun scum

**Forzahibs** · 19-09-07, 18:07

None really though he worked in football for years

sKipper · 19-09-07, 18:11

Kilmarnock.

Has seen his team with the Scottish Cup and the League title !

**Baron von Hibee** · 19-09-07, 18:27

None really, my dad's not especially interested in football - my mum is far more keen and used to go to Leeds United games (both my parents lived down there at the time), and she now goes to Hibs games! (Not with me mind you - don't think she'd be too keen on slumming it in the east.)

**Zitelli`s Heid!** · 19-09-07, 18:27

Utter Hibby, my old man, and all my uncles (5 of them).........and his Dad before........However else could it have been?

**Shearer** · 19-09-07, 18:32

Celtic, unfortunately.

blue toon hibby · 19-09-07, 18:36

Although my Dad was born in Love Street, Paisley,they moved to Leith when he was very young and thankfully he chose Hibs. His brother however, although he had a trial for Hibs, was a dyed in the wool Hun. My cousins are all Season Ticket Holders at Mad Vlad's Circus so family reunions are never short of banter. Funny thing is, if my Dad hadn't lifted me over the turnstile at Easter Road, I would most likely have ended up a sad old Jambo as I couldn't bring myself to follow Aburrrdeen despite living only 30 miles from there.

**hixxy220** · 19-09-07, 18:44

Everyone in my family are Hibbies, about 20 of us all in all.

**hibeeshibs** · 19-09-07, 18:48

My mum and uncles are bigger hibby's than my dad was, the first game I went to with my dad was the home leg of the relegation play off against airdrie. The East was full so we had to dive round to the old West.

Johnny Vegas · 19-09-07, 18:51

dad is a hibee,though would go to tynecastle sometimes to watch games occasionallybut his dad was a big jambo

Exactly the same as mine ! Don't think I had an option about support hibs and now I am forever grateful to him

**brianmac** · 19-09-07, 19:11

hertz, like the rest of my family.

Only me and my bairns are Hibbies

Downer.

My family are all Hibbys. Mrs Emeralds' family are all Hibbys as well. Theres not a sniff of yam anywhere near my family. Nada.

In fact if you trace the emerald green family back over 130 years, there has never been a yam in it

My soon to be 4yrs old is Hibs aswell. As is about 10 of the lads in his nursery

stevieboi · 19-09-07, 19:28

Dad was a hibby, he got into supporting them through his older brother, bit weird i always thought how his side of the family had nothing to do with Edinburgh. But im glad he chose Hibs.
