Festival cup in new york

[Hibby70]

should hibs/them follow the old infirm and have a derby in say new york. I thought that if they held it preseason and used it to also promote the festival it would be a good wee trip. Have some fest acts on the pitch beforehand like yon steel band in the tony rougier days.

It would give a good excuse for a trip to NYC right enough :greengrin

As an American and former resident of New York, I'm sorry to say that this wouldnt work. Celtic and Rangers have big enough fan bases in America to fill a stadium. Hibs and Hearts simply do not.

[Hibby70]

isnt there any smaller stadiums, both clubs could build it into their preseason plans.

[NYHibby]

Red Bull Park, the MLS stadium, seats 25,000 I think. But I don't think we would fill that either. If the club isn't going to make any money, why go?

This could hold the fans who would attend with room left over:agree:

You mean the people of New York have better things to do? I'm shocked.
