At the risk of sounding like an English pundit in the world cup I don't think it's being too presumptuous to start looking ahead to this tie now.
Just wondering if anybody knows anything about them? Are they likely to be any good? Will their season be underway when we play them? Any star players we may have heard of? Will they bring a decent crowd with them? Do their supporters take milk in their coffee? Cafe Nero or Starbucks?
Feels like this will be the proper European tie we worked so hard to qualify for, was a great occasion when AEK Athens came to Easter Road but i hope this mob aren't as good as they were. Not sure if Greek football is in a good place just now or not though?

Not a thing but given the state of their economy they'll probably struggle with the plane fair.

Was having a look at them earlier. Signed 8 players so far this season, a lot of Spaniards from lower league teams.

Finished 5th in Greek league last year, but were in the EL Group Stages last year also
I think they will be "better" than us but we have a good chance of progressing with a strong home result. They don't travel well away from home in Europe having never won a game away.

Generally Greek teams travel well in Europe so I would expect a decent crowd coming over from Tripoli.
Don't think they will be in Café Nero, I somehow sense you might find them downing ouzo in The Mash Tun pre match

Sure I read they don’t start their season until August, so they shouldn’t have a match fitness advantage over us.

Think the real issue for Hibs in Greece, will be the heat. Mid 30’s next week, and will be warmer in August. Pity the fixture wasn’t the other way round, as we have Motherwell at home on the Sunday after it

Sounds like we really need to get a victory at home to take over there (the first leg is at home isn't it?)

Well, they will be a tougher prospect than last nights opponents that's for sure. If we are going to win the tie we will have to do it at home and that means getting our organisation right, something that's currently a wee bit lacking IMO …. it goes without saying that we must avoid losing a goal at home, do that and you give yourself a real chance in the 2nd leg.

7 managers in the last 2.5 years, however their current guy seems to have lasted longer than most of this predecessors.

Their stadium only holds 7500 and you can get a ST including European games for 100 euros! So presumably they get a ton more tv money than we do?
They've only been in the top league for 10 years as well, lower and regional leagues before that.

Don't really expect us to win the tie, bit good trip for the lucky few who can go. Should make a few quid in the home tie too.

Is it fair to say that their coefficient is a hangover from pre-financial crisis in Greece?
Not entirely sure if that fits in with the dates.
