Erik Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Quite a spectrum of responses to this...... think we're all in agreement that an open top bus parade would be largely over the top. But i'm also quite surprised at the number of folk who seem to be suggesting a lap of honour and then forget it happened is more along the scale of things we should be aiming for. This seasons achievements deserve recognition and for that reason, i'll celebrate a league victory appropriately with copious amounts of alcohol. I'm not ashamed of that.

Jambopara Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I suggest a subdued hand clap as the trophy is lifted followed by a knowing look to your fellow fan left and right to tacitly acknowledge the achievement. Thenhome to bed and some Horlicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Eh, no. It's just the Championship. When we confirm the league we can take a deserved pat on the back considering where we were last year and to beat others to the punch will be satisfying but this is a league we don't belong in.

Boof Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd like a group of fans to hire an open top bus for the journey to Fester Road (if we've won it by then). That would be amusing and should provoke some seethe. Definitely not a celebration the club should be considering though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 That's how open top buses normally work, to be fair But no, please no Celebrate but let's not go crazy. The last open topped ( second tier ) bus I have seen anywhere near ER was a double decker that tried to get under a low bridge down Abbeyhill way.!

CJGJ Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Given it will not be a cup win can we not change the route just a little to visit parts of Edinburgh and the attached village of Leith that have perhaps never seen an open top bus and associated celebrations ? Much of the number 1 bus route could be used for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snedds76 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Anyone wanting an open top bus obviously spend a lot of their time in a white bus!! Definitely not, lap of honour and sit back smoking cigars watching the other wee teams in the play off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveb15 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We are going to win a league with rangers and the hobos in it if that's not worth celebrating what is. I'm pretty certain if either of those won the league they would celebrate. Saying that an open top bus would be a bit over the top. I agree with this. Lets not get carried away with this, it's not as special as say winning the Cup or the PL however lets not underplay it either. We are where we are and not to celebrate winning this division would be like not celebrating a goal in a game in this division because "it's only the Championship" and it also trivialises what the players have achieved this season and some absolutely superb performances. I'm not saying lets go out and paint the town maroon but come on, when will we next win silverware? Nobody knows. I for one will have a good few beers to celebrate once it has been sewn up but no open bus parade please. I suspect if it were closer people would feel differently.

Son Of Anarchy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Its an achievement to win any league (unless you spend millions of pounds to beat part timers). If/when we win the league I will be delighted and overjoyed and shall indulge in numerous glasses of Jack Daniels but I will actually be celebrating the return of my beloved club to the top tier as opposed to winning the second tier. In saying that I will not belittle the achievement one bit. When you see how close we came to not having a club at all I think every reason to celebrate should be grasped and enjoyed. We still have a long way to go but I couldn't be happier just now. HHGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beverley Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 definitely no open top bus, but lets not underplay what an achievement it actually is. we will have won a league containing hibs and rangers. now while rangers are definitely not the rangers team of old, this is something worth celebrating. i think maybe a family day as was suggested earlier, would be a really good idea for the younger kids who will see this team as their legends.

jambo-in-furness Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It should be mandatory for sevco and Hibs teams to form a guard of honour the first game we play them after the title is officially ours.and if it is achieved on the day we play either of them then they should form that guard of honour as we leave the field of play.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 An open top bus is far too disproportionate for this imo. Just celebrate being back up, and do the wee flag ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonica Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 No open deck bus just a few smug grins among the troops and copious amounts of alcohol.

luckydug Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Celebrate the day we clinch the league and enjoy the rest of the season including a massive piss take on The Rangers. Then arrange a family fun day and let the kids have their photo with the players and trophy. Hope that is not too OTT for our resident nippie sweeties.

Pennywise Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'll celebrate the way we won the league more than the actual win itself. The unbeaten run. The massive goal/points difference. The football we have seen played and the players who have been brought in. Nicholsons derby goal. Ozturks derby goal. Beating rangers. Beating Ian Murray's team 5-1. The 10-0. To name but a few. We'll have plenty reasons to celebrate come the end of the season, although an open top bus might be a bit ott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonnicky63 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Apologies if this has been discussed already but I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about whether we will / should have an open top bus parade if we win the league? sorry but shocking idea.

Perth to Paisley Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Definitely not but a dignified flag ceremony would be appropriate and, it could be used to launch the renaming of the Wheatfield Stand as the Dave McKay Stand.

Perth to Paisley Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Guard of honour from Rangers; trophy presentation same day and Flag unfurling on day 1 of the season is enough for me. Flying the flag for a year should be a good reminder of where we have been and how we got there. Just make sure we never go back. ......all of this is on the assumption we win the league.
