Easter Road holds a special place in the heart of every supporter of Hibernian. It is the club’s home, both literally and spiritually, and it’s where thousands of supporters from different backgrounds come together every second weekend to share one common bond: a love for their football team.
As a result of this, there are certain preferences, experiences and personality quirks which define Hibs fans and make them unique when compared with every other fanbase in Scottish football.
In this list we look through a few of those. If there are any that we missed out then please let us know.

2. Drank in the Harp and Castle
There are many, many, many good pubs within walking distance of Easter Road and some 'Hibs pubs' a lot closer to the ground. But this is the one which stands out the most for its unashamed Hibs-ness. It's even named after two of the symbols in the club badge. Photo: Geograph
3. Seen your team win both cups
Hearts fans will often go on about their record in the Scottish Cup, but the majority of Jambos still living haven't seen their team win both trophies in their lifetime with the last triumph coming in the early 60s. Photo: SNS Group Alan Harvey
4. Sang joyously about a player who never played for your club
