Newcastle United 2v2 Hibs (reserves bounce game)

[Love the Green]

GAME TODAY
Believe we drew with Newcastle today...Daz and Curtis got the goals.

"keep the faith":wink:

Good stuff. Was it pretty much the same team that played Sunderland?

[Baw187]

I have to say, I like the fact we're taking teams down to the North East to play clubs like Newcastle and Sunderland rather than reserve dross from up here. Standard, even at reserve leve, ought to be better and give the fringe guys a good run out.

Not sure if these bounce games still went on when the reserve league was in practice but appears like we're getting more games in against this opposition than before.

Ameobi and Ranger played for Newcastle. Don't know the rest of their team yet though!

Sounds a good performance against what looks like a more experienced team. Thomas Flynn - goalie - looks like he had a good few saves to make. Since he comes from that area, must have felt good!

[GreenCastle]

About time we had a friendly with Newcastle 1st Team.

Next season anyone ? :wink:

Yes, please!!! Always remember the first time I ever went to ER was a pe-season game against Newcastle - score was 0-0. 1967/ 1968? Can't remember exactly (senior moment!!!!), but the whole experience lives with me still, that HUGE terrace, the noise and movement!!!! Made me a Hibee for life.

Just watched the goals on NUFC TV.

More than a bit of luck for Kurtis's equaliser but they all count.

:wink:

Bit surreal watching the owner turn up for a reserve friendly in a helicopter.

[.Sean.]

Geremi apparantly played for them too :agree:

[hibeeleicester]

this will be much higher standard than spl reserve league , hopefully keep up these bounce games:agree:

Build the new stand, then open the completed stadium in a 3-way tournament with Newcastle and Sunderland.

Flat rate - £10 for adults, £6 for concessions, £3 for kids under 12, per game.

Three sell-outs - lots of fun and good footie - wee boost to ST sales as well. Do a bit of extra business in the shop, too.

Simples!

I dont see why we should be playing lower league English teams, its time we set our sights higher than the Geordies:cool2:

Sounds good, but i think you'd see the same problems as we will have, if we have a tournament in Ireland alongside the yams.

[hfc rd]

Superb result. Keep it up guys and your chance will definately come. :agree:.

:agree:

Nice idea - but Newcastle and Sunderland don't get on too well - that's just the small problem :greengrin

I didn't know STF went to these bounce games as well.

[Hibernian Verse]

:agree:

I think his point was that we would get a sell out for that game = cash and bit of interest.

Yeah I saw that :wink:

Just making the point it wouldn't happen.

Nothing wrong with the idea of a 3 team tournament - except the problem we may have IF the East gets built is it may not be finished by then ?:confused:

But I'm sure IF it goes ahead they have to have events at it before it's officially opened?

[StevieC]

a 3-way tournament with Newcastle and Sunderland.

I assume that you have never experienced a Newcastle v Sunderland game before then.

:hmmm:
