Guest King Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hearts and Hibs fans can be found in any part of the city. Much more Hearts fans though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's 50/50 I'd say. There were definitely more Hearts fans at Porty high school than hibs. Holyrood is more Hibs and Celtic apparently (not in Portobello though, but nearish).

Seashell Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I lived in Nantwich Drive for 2 years which is Craigentinny and it was mostly Hibees!! Cup final day was fab as the Hearts bus stopped outside our house and we had our scarfs hanging out, cue some quality Hearts songs. Anyways always got abuse from passers by in cars and on foot when we were decked out catching the bus to Tynie. Now stay back in Carrick Knowe where I would say mainly Hearts here, 'specially all the kids running about with their Hearts tops on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I do think Blackhall is a more Hearts than any other team. As for Glasgow, there is easily more Hearts here than hibs, I have only ever seen one hibs top outside 5 a side in Glasgow but have seen many more Hearts tops.

Buffalo Bill Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I always felt there were more Hibs fans in the Irvine Welsh areas of North Edinburgh, and naturally around the vicinity of their stadium, plus pockets dotted around elsewhere, quite a few in Oxgangs as has been mentioned. Hearts, probably 90% of West Edinburgh, and again, loads of areas elsewhere including Leith, South Edinburgh etc, and definitely more Hearts in the Lothians and parts of Fife. Maybe I'm talking bollocks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 As a teenager I stayed a short time in Portobello and when I arrived it was mainly hibs but when Robbo who hailed from the area burst onto the scene it became a bit of a Hearts stronghold. I'd imagine it is back to an equal share again now or slightly hibs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibi Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Seems despite Hearts having a bigger fan base, Edinburgh is all Hibs.Although our fanbase is bigger, the number of Hobos who don't go to their games is much higher than for us. I grew up in West Lothian and naturally there are far more Old Firm than anything else, though we come in a clear third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
