Clean Leith Raft

Clean Leith Raft

Hibs lost today to Kilmarnock in the first game of the new season.  I can’t really be arsed writing about it. So…

Eagle eyed readers may have noticed a raft beside the Cruz boat at the Shore in Leith.  It belongs to a group of guerilla activists who “will no longer tolerate nor accept the destruction and pollution strangling our formerly beautiful village of Leith”.

The raft was being painted up on Friday and has been emblazoned with the group’s logo and website address.

Check out the Clean Leith website.

Groningen v Ajax fire

April 14th, 2008 7 Comments »

The Groningen game against Ajax in the Dutch league was abandoned today after a fire in the stands. It would appear that there was a display of toilet rolls thrown which seems to have caught ablaze. Early days yet but that’s what seems to be happening in the picture below.

Hibs and Groningen fans have close fans links. Numerous fans from Groningen travel to Easter Road and vice versa. Check out the Green Brotherhood.

This pic is a bit scary…
