Debut 4 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Seems despite Hearts having a bigger fan base, Edinburgh is all Hibs.lol...I know, I think you tend to notice the enemy more than your own and they'll be the same. Seems I'm the only Hearts fan in Edinburgb going by this thread It's funny, I've worked beside and played football with more Leith Jambos over the years than vermin Leithers. It's just down to luck i'd imagine and I wouldn't start puting Leith down as a Hearts area because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 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. Think you'll be surprised BB. Drylaw was particularly known as heavy with maroon and again, I've known plenty JTs from North Edinburgh.

Yoda Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Midlothian is solid Hearts. Penicuik, Loanhead, Bilston, Roslin, Bonnyrigg, Newtongrange, Gorebridge, Dalkieth. All overwhelmingly Hearts, with a few H1b5 in the role of village idiot. In fact Penicuik just got even more Hearts, with the arrival of John Souttar.

pablo Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 This question has been done loads of times and it's a tricky one. I'd say in my experience Hibs fans are a bit more obvious than Hearts fans and that skews one's perception. Hibs fans love a bit of replica gear and an iffy number plate. Plus people are more transient in where they work and live nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David McCaig Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Crowds of 16,866 v 6,866 suggest that any notion of a 50/50 split is very misguided. Even 65/35 is probably being kind to Hibs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strachsuit Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Trying to avoid getting shot down here but... There is definitely something in the old "white collar" / "blue collar" argument when it comes to Hearts & the vermin. I remember MDV mentioning something along those lines in an interview once. Said something like the Hearts fans he met in the street were always well spoken, well educated and tended to be lawyers, doctors - basically professionals. And the Hibs-minded ones, well, they weren't! Loads of Jambos in the more affluent areas of the city, no question about that. There are lots out here in the garden county of East Lothian - and down in the Borders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The percentage of Hearts fans compared to OF fans has risen immensely in the last 30 years as well. The laddies footy team is mostly Hearts and that would have been unheard of when I was a lad.

corryjambo Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The leafy suburb of Corstorphine has probably got more supporters of Edinburgh Rugby than Hibs supporters. There are quite a few Hearts men in my street and surrounding area, but that's what you would expect from the "establishment team." It does however annoy me greatly to see a bus picking up Celtic supporters from St John's Road on a match day, the stink they leave behind is rather overwhelming for us more refined people.

Debut 4 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It's safe to say there's a large spread of JTs all over Edinburgh and the Lothians.
