Bit underwhelming, to say the least. :greengrin Even if there is an Edinburgh derby! :greengrin

What do you expect?

[GloryGlory]

What do you expect?

A "glamour" friendly against Real Madrid isn't too much to ask for, is it?

[CockneyRebel]

What do you expect?

Would have loved to go and play Blackpool again - had a great time there a few seasons ago.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Worth remembering that the following week the players and staff will be off to some far flung European outpost, so will be looking to keep all the friendlies fairly local.

[HH81]

A game in Yorkshire would have been better.

[Billy Whizz]

A "glamour" friendly against Real Madrid isn't too much to ask for, is it?

Remember we could be away in the 1st leg Europe after the Motherwell game, saving fans money by playing local

[dp00]

Quite looking forward to the Edinburgh city game, we trip to meadowbank which I have no doubt will be full for first time in years along with chance to see Edinburgh City who done great last season and make them a bit of cash

Same here. Just comes up with all the other articles.

[pacoluna]

That pre season fixture list is not correct

[RoxburghHibs]

The article has been removed. I would guess due to an error in the details posted.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Edinburgh City fixture on 7th July, assuming under the lights at Meadowbank.

I'm sure they have modern communications in France and Neil can get his assistants organized to deliver pre-season training.

Eh? I was suggesting it was more likely he would be there as he was finished at the Euro's prior to preseason. Many on here had been concerned that his Euro commitments would overlap with preseason. Other clubs are going back earlier (Celtic is 20th of June for example), so this suggests to me the club may have pushed back the start of preseason.

No it's 100% 23rd June - or so the one player I know has been told :thumbsup:

[LustForLeith]

Edinburgh City tweeted about the Hibs game, anyone know what time the kick off is for it? With the wife at the Beyonce concert I'll have the kids in tow!

What were the other fixtures?

[Finn2015]

Hopefully it will be clearer later, link leads to nothing.

Agreed.

York City need all the practice they can get! :wink:

[staunchhibby]

Players definitely return 23rd.John McGinn possibly a bit later due to his Scotland games:flag::flag:

Last time we played Edinburgh city Tam McManus was a trialist for HIbs and John collins had just taking over.

Fair enough. The person I know must have got it wrong. Either way there's not too much more we could in terms of pre-season.

Europe is is really an extra couple of games I can't imagine they'll be expecting us to go a long European run.

God damnit, I arrive back in EDI for the weekend the day after. My mum's house is literally opposite Meadowbank!!!

Presumably the Cup will also be paraded at ER itself at some point?

You sure that wasn't a reserve game against Rangers at meadowbank??

reason I say that is I skived school that at purely cause McManus was playing! Hibs won 1-0 I think and I was sitting just in front of Collins. McManus went off as a sub.

Your correct, My mistake. That's the only time I've seen hibs play at meadowbank. I was in primary school, couldn't quite remember who it was we played but just assumed it was Edinburgh city. The only reason I went as well was because Tam was playing, Thinking about it JC and Tommy Craig were sitting in front of me that's how I knew he was in charge so it was obviously a reserve game :idiot:

[LancsHibs]

Could the pre season fixtures announcement on the official site have been pulled because the new manager has his own ideas?? Awaiting further announcements😉

[DH1875]

Edinburgh City fixture on 7th July, assuming under the lights at Meadowbank.


Not unless its a 10pm kick-off :greengrin.

[Jonnyboy]

Wrong. It'll still be played under the lights. They just won't be on :greengrin

Whats the capacity of Meadowbank these days ? This could well be a sell-out. Lenny's first game and, whisper it, THE SCOTTISH CUP.

[LustForLeith]

Not sure, 2,000? that's a guess!

Went to see City play a couple of games there, really like City. Depending on how the fixtures go I might get a season ticket for every other game when we're not at Easter Road.

Official capacity is roughly 16K however don't think all of that is seated. The main stand holds 7.5K.

[Albanian Hibs]

Jeez I never thought that main stand was so big. Good chance of a sell out that night then

[DH1875]

You've got me there :greengrin

[CB_NO3]

Hard work for the stewards that night, trying to stop everyone jumping over the fence at the back.

[LustForLeith]

I used to stand outside and watch Meadowbank games back in the day. If we felt brave enough we'd climb the fence and sit in the benches opposite the main stand until we were chased away by the stewards. used to take awhile.

Also went to see Simple Minds after a reserve game between Hibs and Aberdeen at Easter Road. And Prince. Great venue!

[lyonhibs]

Not on your nelly??!!

Wow, Wiki says you're right.

That's madness. I wouldn't fancy being in that main stand if it's filled to capacity.......

I am gobsmacked that stand holds that amount. That makes it bigger than our East stand I reckon?! Surely not..

[Moulin Yarns]

Because of he athletics track, I think it is at least a couple of sections wider than the Easter Road stands.

[lugz]

7:45 k.o against Edinburgh city. We're getting 60% of the 7000 tickets.

This from a lad who plays for city.

It will be a neutral pay at the gates i suspect, There won't be home and away segregation

[Iggy Pope]

U-21s played Edinburgh City at Meadowbank in pre-season 2004 with Dean Sheils in the side IIRC.
And I reckon the fixtures have been removed from the fishy site as they are still to confirm Betis :greengrin

Do you know who it was we played when tam mcmanus played as a trialist at meadowbank?

I really don't. Sorry.

Maybe the players are having staggered returns. It might help some of them out.:wink:

Love reading that, Scottish Cup Winners, Hibs!!!!

[lugz]

It'll be all ticket especially since the trophies are being paraded. Of course there won't be segregation I'm just saying we're being allocated 60% of the tickets.

[pacoluna]

I would imagine most of the 40% allocated will end up going to hibs supporters anyway? Edinburgh city have a couple of hundred regular supporters at most the rest are hibs/hearts fans.

[Keith_M]

Last time I watched Edinburgh City, they were wearing white shirts, black shorts and green socks.


Is that their official colours or do they just have a Hibby as a kitman?

[H18 SFR]

What were the proposed dates of the Berwick and Motherwell games?

[Pretty Boy]

Are the terraces/benches at Meadowbank ever used nowadays? Or could they be if required?

We always get a decent travelling support for at least 1 or 2 summer pre season friendlies and with it being a stones throw from ER can see this one being popular.

The wood bench seats were removed a number of years ago, however the metal supports remain in place on the terrace. For this reason, that part of the ground has been off-limits to the public.

All spectators are seated in the main stand.

As an extra incentive to getting a ticket; the steak pies at Meadowbank are brilliant.

[AZhibee]

A "glamour" friendly against Real Madrid isn't too much to ask for, is it?

Since the article seems to have disappeared from the official website, maybe they have taken your suggestion and will re-publish with the Real Madrid date set.

Officially THE coldest stand in Scotland.

My inter scholastics days confirmed this. Baltic in June.

[Moulin Yarns]

Hibernian will face Berwick Rangers, Edinburgh City and Motherwell in our pre-season schedule, as the side prepare for the upcoming season.
First team players will arrive back for pre-season training on Thursday 23 June, as they prepare for these fixtures and their Europa League matches.
Berwick Rangers will host Hibernian at Shielfield Park on Tuesday 5 July with a 7:45pm kick-off, representing the third season in succession that the side have travelled to Berwick-Upon-Tweed as part of their pre-season preparations.
Two evenings later, a short trip to Meadowbank Stadium will be in-store for the Easter Road side, who will face Edinburgh City, who were recently promoted into the Scottish Professional Football League in May, again with the match kicking off at 7:45pm.
Easter Road will stage a match on Sunday 10 July, with Motherwell travelling to Leith for a 3pm kick-off, as the fixtures culminate before the side begin their UEFA Europa League campaign on 14 July..

[Finn2015]

Will the Motherwell game be on the season ticket by any chance?

[Amadou_Konte]

There will be around 4500 tickets total I hear for the City game, it's a 60/40 split in hibs favour in terms of gate money but not sure about allocation.

[Onceinawhile]

Will the Motherwell game be on the season ticket by any chance?

No.

[Finn2015]

No.

Clear to the point, I like it. Cheers
