Thread: New year derby

  1. #1

    New year derby

    Is anyone able to give an educated guess for "if it will be home or away"?

    FWIW it seems to be at Tincastle more often than not over the last few years. I wonder if them requesting away fixtures at the start of the season will in turn mean it will be at their second hand stadium (I'm referencing to the cheap steel they got from the olympic park dismantling/renovation for West Ham).

    Cheers n' that in advance.

    Should be home as it's usually the 3rd derby of the season and the first one will be at home as they wont be finished building their stand.

    Are you sure it's usually the 3rd? It's about halfway through the season so wouldn't it make more sense if it was the 2nd?

    In the top division it's the second derby. It'll be at Tynecastle.

    I hope they don't get 2 in row just because they requested away games for the first month or so....

    How can they open the ground for a pre-season match (Newcastle) but not opening league games. Ohh aye its so they can make as much cash as possible...

    That's one of the things that I'm not looking forward to in terms of being back in the top league.

    The period after Christmas and New Year is bleak and depressing enough as it is, without having no football for 3 weeks!

    We'll also have all of the international breaks as well next season.
