Europa Draw- NSI Runavik (FAR)1st Round/Asteras Trioplis (GRE) 2nd Round (if qualify)

[PatHead]

Thought we drew a team from the faroes ?? :confused:

They are the Linfield of the Faroes

[nonshinyfinish]

Thought we drew a team from the faroes ?? :confused:

We did, but the second round draw is also done today.

[Hermit Crab]

Thought we drew a team from the faroes ?? :confused:


We find out our second round opponents if we beat the Faroes mob.

[Keith_M]

2nd round draw is today too Andy


So is that the Linfield game then?

[Billy Whizz]

Thought we drew a team from the faroes ?? :confused:

2nd round now Andy

[HibbyAndy]

We did, but the second round draw is also done today.


Bit odd way to do it is it no ? Imagine drawing Motherwell in the scottish cup but then making another draw to see who the winner plays :confused:

They're waiting until HT in the portugal match before they make the draw. :greengrin

So just to get this straight, the draw is at 1.45 and this is for the second round, don't think I've seen it mentioned :faf:

If we had to play the other team the following week and they are a team we've likely never played before and half a continent away, then I'd rather know. :greengrin

[franck sauzee]

Only 50 minutes late!!!

[Hermit Crab]

Here we go.

[Jamesie]

Here we go, finally - at least an apology for the delay while they "optimise" the group whatever that means?

[seanshow]

"Apologies for the delay, we were not watching the world cup, honestly" Aye right :greengrin

He's a Tory, he just lied that they weren't watching the World Cup.

[scoopyboy]

[Hermit Crab]

Get on with it ya ****!

[grammyb111]

They were quick but Hadjuk Split, Asterea Tripoli, Moripul, Lech Poznan and an other are our options

[Brightside]

so we are in the last bunch..... some tasty teams in there.

[danhibees1875]

Sheepies are unseeded in the 2nd round draw

Could get Burnley. (I think that's what it meant)

We (11) can get:

FC Mariupol
KRC Genk
Partizani/Maribor
Hajduk Split
ASteras Tripolis
Lech Poznan/Gandzasar-kapan

[SteveHFC]

They were quick but Hadjuk Split, Asterea Tripoli, Moripul, Lech Poznan and an other are our options

Think the last team was Genk.

[blackpoolhibs]

You sound like my wife

Genk would be nice

But FWIW no easy draw there

[son of haggart]

Here we go, finally - at least an apology for the delay while they "optimise" the group whatever that means?


They’ve spotted ‘wan ae’ the old firm is in the draw so had to get their balls heated:wink:

[SteveHFC]

Genk would be nice

But FWIW no easy draw there

Poznan and Split too.

KRC Genk (BEL)
Partizani (ALB) / NK Maribor (SVN)
HNK Hadjuk Split (HUN)
Asteras Tripoli (GRE)

[grammyb111]

Huns get Petroclub or Osijek

[southern hibby]

You sound like my wife

Likes Bingo then?


GGTTH

[Jamesie]

Not Maribor please.

Poznan at Easter Road would be something. They'd take the whole south stand I expect!

[adhibs]

Not a great group. Some nice cities but glamour or easy ties.

[bingo70]

Not Maribor please.

Maribor and the Ukrainian mob are the ones to avoid so I know what my money is on.....

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Asteras Tripolis (Greece!)

Whats the date for the home and away fixture?

[JeMeSouviens]

Just a couple of hours drive on a nice new motorway from Athens.

[Scorrie]

Not too far from Athens. About 2 hours away by road

[SJNB Hibby]

hibs v asteras tripolis of greece, need to check them out,

Finished 5th last season. Made the group Rounds in 2015-16, Schalke battered them both times, ended up 3rd ahead of APOEL, behind Sparta Prague
Their coefficient is less than Hull, better than Hertha

[Gatecrasher]

going by their wiki they have had a few decent results in the past.

Asteras Tripolis Football Club (Greek: Αστέρας Τρίπολης, transliterated "Asteras Tripolis", translated "Star of Tripoli") is a Greek football club from the town of Tripoli in Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece. The club was founded on 26 March 1931 and since the 2007–08 season, they have been in Superleague Greece, the top professional league in Greece.

[seanshow]

Asteras Tripoli, no prizes for guessing which city they are based in, :greengrin The Greek team finished 5th in the 'Superleague Greece' last season.

[Gibby the Hibby]

Are we at home then away ( baring hearts get through and are at home the same night )?

GGTTH

am sure they have butlins booked that week,

[one day maybe...]

I’m in Corfu on holiday.. boat 🚣*♀️ trip on the card me thinks if we qualify...

[Bishop Hibee]

No train links. Road links from elsewhere look decent. Not far from Athens.

[7Hero]

our stadiiums bigger... we must have a chance :agree:

[Brightside]

when are these played?

[Oscar T Grouch]

Asteras tripolis finished 5th in the Greek Superleague. That was 11 points back from their Europa league qualifying spots, I would assume that means they qualified because the cup was won by a team already in Europe. Pretty good draw if thats the case, the weakest Greek team we could get.

[blackpoolhibs]

what date is the away game

[essexhibee]

Every flight north of 300 notes for me from Stansted out the Thursday back the Saturday morning.

Dont want to tempt fate with these Faroes though. I remember all the rangers booking up Cyprus only for Pedrogate and the bush to happen :agree:

[hibee_girl]

When’s the home game in the 2nd round if we get there?

[Gibby the Hibby]

tripoli only got 1 player in double figures last season, 12 goal striker 25 games.

we can put efe on him:greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Only a 7600 capacity. Bring back loyalty points!

26th July. Away on the 2nd August.

[calumhibee1]

So flying into athens is the best option?

[Bishop Hibee]

Away game should be Thursday 2nd August

[HibeeDaz6270]

2 and a half hours from athens
4 hours from zante

Every flight north of 300 notes for me from Stansted out the Thursday back the Saturday morning.

I'm in Kent and it's too tempting

[HarpyHibby]

[hibee_girl]

26th July. Away on the 2nd August.

Thanks :aok:

Don’t get back from holiday until the 27th so we better make the 3rd round!

[Tynie01011973]

Home tie 26/7 Away 2/8

[Isaac_Refvik]

Home 26th July Away 2nd August I think

[Barney McGrew]

They’re no mugs.

Been in the Group stages the last few years and have taken some notable scalps at home.

[Austinho]

Could the temperature in August be our downfall?

[RoxburghHibs]

Greek season starts 25th August .

[Liberal Hibby]

they are no aek athens, 10 points of 4th spot, 8k stadium, winnable for sure, mon the hibs

July average temperature 30c or 86 in old money - could be a factor...

[ToffeeCabbage]

Is this as good as we could have hoped for? Heavy favourites for 1st round followed by winnable tie in a nice location for the 2nd round. Buzzing!

yeh Id agree, we gotta be happy with that lets take care of the Faroes first, but greek trip would be good.

the Maltese team.

[HarpyHibby]

£365 direct flights Manchester to Athens. Wednesday - Friday.

[Hibs90]

Take 3 or 4 goal lead to the Faroes, then do the same in the next round.

Buzzing.

yep, fair point, tthese biys can take the heat tho!. we hope,

gotta be happy with that draw, considering what we could have got,

take aberdeen, they will watch 2 bad games against burnley and go out, no doubt. and I wouldnt fancy
a trip to osijek either in croatia, so all in all, we did well

[.Sean.]

Can imagine Aberdeen Burnley will be quite tasty.

[Ritchie]

what date is the away game

2nd august

[Brightside]

thursday flight from edinburgh doesnt get there till friday morning. nothing on the wednesday from edinburgh

[we are hibs]

Don't think a trip to Greece is great in footballing terms. We will need to take a lead over there. Also not ideal the second let being away then facing Motherwell on the Sunday

[haagsehibby]

Home 26th July Away 2nd August I think

So, if we qualify for this round then I assume our opening SPL fixture will be moved to the Sunday.

[Michael]

Hope Aberdeen can knock out Burnley.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Great draw for us, got to be happy with that.

If we navigate these two rounds is there another qualifying round before the Group stage?

[Bristolhibby]

Another two rounds. 4 in total.

Another 2

[calumhibee1]

That would be absolute carnage. Would everyone be staying in Athens (or Zante :greengrin) and just going to and from Tripoli on the day of the game? Or staying in Tripoli?

[Moulin Yarns]

I'm seeing an airfield just to the north east of tripoli. May not be passenger flights.

[Cameron1875]

Folk seem to be awfy confident of it being Home first and Away tie second.

Did Hearts not get screwed by Uefa switching the dates round last year? Bit risky to just dive in and book flights surely.

[Isaac_Refvik]

1hr 51m drive from Athens

[calumhibee1]

[SteveHFC]

Wonder if hibs will do a charter plane for greece.

[SHODAN]

My partner's family live 1/2 hours away from Tripoli, could be a goer.

[ToffeeCabbage]

Hope Aberdeen can knock out Burnley.Wouldn't surprise me as much as it should. English teams are weird at this stage, most couldn't give 2 hoots. West Ham got dumped out 2 years running by the same, previously unheard of team. When Hull got into Europe(for the 1st time in their history) they rested players for prem games. Sad really. Saying that I don't think Dyche will stand for any of that nonsense

I think thats if there is 2 teams from same city or close by they can change the ties round. For example if Hibs and Hearts were both in Europe at got home ties they switch the lowest coefficient team I believe. I dont think there will be any problems with where we are going :aok:

Nope, it’s not been drawn that far.

Wow!

[Oscar T Grouch]

I don't think the Faroese side will be an easy match, they are 14 matches into their season already and sit 3rd atm. Playing a team midway through their season is always difficult when your team are only just into pre-season. Hopefully we can get up to speed quickly.

[IGRIGI]

Are they in ISIS.....?

Snowflake triggering in 3....2.....1 :greengrin

[andyf5]

Initial look shows flights £300 return from Edinburgh, hotels £50 in Tripoli, bus is 3 hours from Athens so one overnight stay in Tripoli. Details below. There are many options.

[Gibby the Hibby]

tripoli have got a bad away record, they won teh last 2 games of season, but previous to that,

7 games without a win, and only 1 goal in all those away games.(only 1 of rthe matches had more than 1 goal)
they seem the masters of losing 1-0 or drawing 0-0 away.

They do look a much stronger proposition at home tho

yeh its always tough when they are mid season. but the gulf in quality "should be enough" it wont be easy tho
unless we put 4-5 past them at hone, im sure there will be some some buttholes twitching like a rabbits nose if
we go over there and its a close score. but all in all, if you are to play a team mid season, this is one we want.

[Frank Moon]

What about this Kalamata airport? Is closer than Athens but probably less flights?

[Hermit Crab]

What about this Kalamata airport? Is closer than Athens but probably less flights?

37 miles from Tripoli, very few flight, most require a stop over.

[Gibby the Hibby]

Did tripoli qualify by the same channel as us? a higher league team won the cup? I cant see that they won anything, and they were 5th in league, they have a tricky wee argentine called tonso, plays behind the striker, take care of him Marv! take him oiut.

:flag:in europe

[Gibby the Hibby]

easy jet got flights to kalamata, only from gatwick!

seems athens is the option.

[RoxburghHibs]

Greek season starts on 25th August so they won’t have that over us. Faroes league will be months in..

[blackpoolhibs]

I know its a long way off, and we could fall flat on our face in the Faroe's, but get through that and then the next game is winnable in Greece too.

Would this get us further up the seeded list should we qualify again next season, win these two rounds and how much difference would it make to our points? :confused:

[Jamesie]

Kalamata flights already through the roof - Gatwick to Athens is probably your best bet!

No, as Tripolis are not seeded for the 3rd round.

Yes but whats the standard of football like over there?

[RoxburghHibs]

NSI have played 14 games and sit 3rd in their league.

Strangely they play a league game on Friday night then there is a one month break.

[CB_NO3]

There is a team due to play in Athens in the Europa League on the Thursday night at home. Our tie is 2 hours away from Athens so should not be impacted you would think but I don't know the rules?

[Fergus52]

No, as Tripolis are not seeded for the 3rd round.

Victories in the two ties would still gain us point towards our coefficient, no?

[Gibby the Hibby]

Victories in the two ties would still gain us point towards our coefficient, no?

I would think so, as aberdeen currently sit at 4000, and us and rangers are 3750, so whatever the sheep have done in the
past 5 years have them slightly above the national average,

[Gibby the Hibby]

Yes but whats the standard of football like over there?

utter garbage. I can say that with confidence!. its a bunch of fisherman playing against each other,

[cabbageandribs1875]

not even a mention on sky news, aberdeen/vile filth/sellick did though :rolleyes:

Reserved a room in the Arcadia hotel in Tripoli, £52 a night. Free cancellation with booking.com. Flights and more specifically transferring from Athens might be more of an issue.

Aye but mind Hearts lost to Maltese barmen.

[essexhibee]

easy jet got flights to kalamata, only from gatwick!

seems athens is the option.

600+ quid a pop too.

[CapitalGreen]

Victories in the two ties would still gain us point towards our coefficient, no?

It would but it won't change our coefficient for this current year, only future years. The only way we can be seeded in a future round is to knock out a team who are due to be seeded as we take their place.

[Billy Whizz]

There is a team due to play in Athens in the Europa League on the Thursday night at home. Our tie is 2 hours away from Athens so should not be impacted you would think but I don't know the rules?

Hibs haven’t said anything yet, I’d be careful about booking before this is confirmed, UEFA can be funny about these sort of things

Meant about the 2nd round

I would hang off booking anything until we have played the first leg against the Faroes, then we will hopefully have a better idea if we're going through or not.

[SHODAN]

Would prefer the home/away order to be reversed tbh, I can just about make the home leg if it's first but would be considerably less hassle if it was last.

Think that’s what we’re doing.

[Hibernian Verse]

You may as well reserve rooms in Tripolis just now. It's free cancellation on booking.com until 25th July by which time Runavik will have pumped us out and we can cancel for free.

Or more likely we pump them and you save yourself potentially hundreds in rates.

[Brightside]

Flights prices will go through the roof if you wait for the 1st round to be over.

Loads off airlines fly into Athens though

[Mick O'Rourke]

When Hibs played AEK,we were due to play the night after Man.Utd in Athens
Flight only costs to Athens were astronomical.
Man Utd being there was the main reason for high fares,of course.
I wanted to go to Athens for the game. i had time off, so booked 2 wks SC in Santorini
It was cheaper than the return flight to Athens!
I booked hydrofoil? and ferry in Santorini to get to and from Piraeus Port (Athens)
I was due to meet up with 3 pals who were on other Greek Islands on holiday.
Sadly,i went the first time round and 9/11 resulted in all games in Europe to be cancelled that week,as planes were grounded.

But worth considering combining this trip with a wee break on a Greek Island,if you have the holiday time.;-)

[Brightside]

only if you fancy going all over the place to get them? very few flights from edinburgh

[Since90+2]

Hopefully the game in Greece is played late in the evening as it will be absolutely roasting over there in July.

[burtis97]

In the last two hours flights have jumped from 250 to 460 that's flying from Edinburgh. Anyone any ideas for Athens?

It will be a 20:45 KO their time.

Thats because doughnuts keep searching them without clearing their internet cache or browsing privately.

Last time they played at this stage it was a 7pm kick off against RoPS of Finland.

7pm local time? It will still be hot at that time over there, will definitely be a disadvantage for us playing in that heat.

HC
For the benefit and education of said doughnuts (not a term i would use for fellow Hibernians;-))

How about you giving us a wee tutorial on "Clearing Caches and "Incognito Searching" ;-)

[Billy Whizz]

Tripoli looking like a nightmare of a place to get too

[CapitalGreen]

Yeah, local time, there doesn't seem to be much consistency in kick off times though for the early rounds.

[Mick O'Rourke]

For anyone looking up flights to Tripoli.
Mind you dont end up in Libya !

[Hermit Crab]

Flights fluctuate daily, you could buy a flight to Greece today for £400 but in two weeks time the price might come down to £160, it all depends on how the market is at the time.

The three hotels that are in Tripolis are virtually sold out on Booking.com. Better be quick. I booked the last twin room in the Alex hotel.

I found direct trains from Athens to tripoli on Hellenic railways

Have you a link for that Tourist site only mentions bus and car from Athens ?

GGTTH

[Hibbyradge]

I've got 2 rooms at the Mainalon resort.

Getting there from Athens will be the tricky bit.
