Real Betis at ER 9th July?

[Iggy Pope]

Anyone else hearing this? Cracking strip swap if genuine.

[HibsNutter]

Would be a silly idea to stage it on the T in the park weekend if true.

I think it'll be more for preparation for the players for the Europa League qualifier the following week.

Gus Poyet in charge now. Where are you hearing this from IP

Seriously? Maybe we should play it on a Tuesday night instead?

A friendly against decent European opposition a few days before a, potentially winnable, Europa League tie is surely more in Hibs thoughts rather than the game falling on the weekend of a music festival?

Always had a wee soft spot for Betis, felt a bit sorry for them that their 2 marquee Brazillian signings in the last 20 years both ended up being a bit of a flop. Would be a decent game to attend if it happens imo.

[DH1875]

Gutted if it's true as I'll be back in Spain that weekend. Great news for the Betis boys based in Edinburgh though.

Going to T in The Park are you...? :greengrin

It was a text from a friend. Not previously well informed and never claim to have been. Maybes I'm on my own with this one!

Denilson and who?

Which two?

[Pretty Boy]

Which two?
Denilson and Rafael Sobis.

Nope, just seems strange to put it on at a point when the crowd will take a massive hit

So when do you expect us to play a preseason friendly?

Hope you're right, thanks for sharing

[Iggy Pope]

ADMINS! Is there any way I can put a question mark on the thread title? :greengrin

[Big_Franck]

Im away for most of the summer and going to miss our first two European games. If I was also to miss a game against Betis i'd be gutted.

[Iggy Pope]

Betis boys based in Edinburgh?

The Hop Step and Jump was rammed with Atletico boys ( and girls)last night, (genuinely) so it may be right.

Appreciated! Could be nowt in this.......

You can't build us up for this......

[Iggy Pope]

**** it. Heard it's a four team tourney of green brethren all weekend. Two still to be named but the Mexican National side, Wolfsburg and Plymouth Argyle are also reported to be interested.....::greengrin

[DH1875]

Yeah their quite an active pena and travel back for games.

[Billy Whizz]

Pity it wasn't in Seville😄

[adhibs]

The crowd would be affected by a few hundred max. Hope this is more than a rumour, dont get too many decent friendlys nowadays.

[SJM]

A former player of theirs does some coaching at us and now loves the club so this may have some substance.

[Alfred E Newman]

If it wasn't this it would be something else. The joys of summer football!

[The Green Goblin]

Perfect for me. I arrive in Edinburgh on 7th (he said selfishly) :greengrin

Good tie if this happens. Think we'd get a decent crowd as well for it.

[WoreTheGreen]

How about a friendly against the rangers on the 12th. A gaurd of honour?

[ekhibee]

Years ago they had Dennilson on the left wing and Joaquin on the right wing, arguably the 2 best wingers in the world at that time. Thought Joaquin was a brilliant player, always remember the disallowed goal against South Korea in the 2002 World Cup, 1 of the worst decisions ever made.

[DH1875]

Ive checked out their forums and wbsites and cant see anything. They are playing in the Dresden cup at the end of July though with Everton and Werder Bremen.

[YehButNoBut]

Was in Madrid a couple of years ago and bumped into the Betis team leaving their hotel to go and play Real.

Not sure if any of these guys still play for them.

Would be a good battle of the green & whites.

Always had a man crush on Joaquin :greengrin. They had some midfield back then :agree:. Pretty sure he's back at the club as well.

[Sir David Gray]

I don't fly home from Portugal until the 10th so I'll miss this if it's true.

[jgl07]

Yeovil are more likely.

[Onceinawhile]

It's probably nothing, but I do know someone from the club was over for a betis game earlier in the season and spoke to the stadium manager etc... There, so might be something in it.

He was immense on pro evo 4!

[Billy Whizz]

An all green day to show off the Scottish cup

[jonny_hfc]

Wow would love this one to happen, betis are my team in la liga. Would be a great crowd at ER for this, a ground full of green and white

[Godsahibby]

There's a crowd of Betis fans who have made the Polwarth Tavern there unofficial supporters club in Edinburgh. Pretty impressive group turn up when Betis are on the tele.

[IberianHibernian]

Betis due to return from holidays on 7th July with medicals that day so 9th might be a bit rushed . German tournament is 29th / 30th July . Temperatures in Seville are very high in summer and I know Betis have played several friendlies in England in recent years so wouldn`t surprise me if they come to Scotland too . Would be much better to play them in August if both teams have a free date than in July when Betis would probably field a weak team and make 11 subs at half time .

[GreenLake]

He let me take a pic of him with my Spurs fan wife when he visited the LA Galaxy recently. I hope he is going to lend us a couple of brilliant youngsters.

[Forza Fred]

Ah The Hoppie...brings back memories!

Never knew it was still a going concern...

[hibeeleicester]

Been to a few Betis games this year. My la liga side and fairly local. Would be a good tie that I think I would miss!

[Jack]

Hibs have never played at Easter Road on my birthday, 9th July. According to ihibs there's only ever been one game on that date in 1967 when we got a 1-1 draw against Glentoran in the North American League.

I never thought we'd see us lift the Scottish Cup and we did :-) and I never thought I'd see Hibs play on my birthday.

What a Hibs year I'm having!

[h1bee123]

I never thought I'd see Hibs play on my birthday.

I've seen Hibs play once on my birthday. Unfortunately it was 19th May 2012. This year made up for it though - perfect present, just a couple of days late!

Hibs played on my birthday this year and we beat hertz in the replay. What a night and made all the more special after last weekend. Just fantastic.

Mildly o/t but love this strip:

My laddie got one in Madrid lurking on its own behind about 12 million Madrid tops. #prouddad
