[Hibernian32]

Away to Ross County

Heard hearts have requested they don't play at home first which would suggest we are at home for the 3rd year running but im going against the grain here

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Home to Hearts

[Gloucester Hibs]

Also think it’ll be hearts at home

[we are hibs]

Celtic away. Then hearts at home followed by st.mirren away.

[bingo70]

Am I right in saying if it’s one of the teams in Europe our first game will be put back to the Sunday?

[hfc rd]

Away to St Johnstone followed by Celtic home and then Aberdeen away

[The 90+2]

Huns home the Sunday.

[Brightside]

Home to Well

[hibee_girl]

Am I right in saying if it’s one of the teams in Europe our first game will be put back to the Sunday?

:agree:

Our home game against Motherwell last season was on the Sunday due to us being in Europe

[DarlingtonHibee]

Anyone at home because I'm in Edinburgh for the weekend.

[Zazu62]

Why have they done that?

[GloryGlory]

Why have they done that?

Ongoing work on the super stand that was allegedly finished 18 montha ago? :greengrin

[Since452]

I have a funny feeling we'll open with a derby. Where's Brian Kerr these days?

[Cod Boy]

Hamilton at Easter Road

[bingo70]

Why have they done that?

Festival opening ceremony is taking place at tynecastle on the Saturday of the opening week of fixtures.

So a Jambo mate tells me anyway, when I looked online I found details of the event he was talking about but couldn’t find a date for it to see if he was right or not.

Same here

[Greencore]

Sevco ibrox.. Sorry

[04Sauzee]

Sevco ibrox.. Sorry

Are they not due to play away, Celtic play at hole as league winners?

[The 90+2]

Are they not due to play away, Celtic play at hole as league winners?

Both can be at home on different days. Sky will dictate one on tv so it would mean possibly us at Parkhead unless the hearts fireworks rumour is true. Would love away to Livi first imagine the crowd. Ten minutes.

[04Sauzee]

Both can be at home on different days.

They can but is that normal? Not sure hibs play at hole the same weekend as hearts unless it's a cup competition

[The 90+2]

You forgot about the greetin’ faced huns moaning about being away every season etc etc blah blah blah.

[The 90+2]

Championship fixtures out. Utd v Calley first.

So they made arrangements for a Festival event at Tynie and as an afterthought sought an away match. After the SPFL and affected clubs bent over backwards to accommodate them re the building of the new stand, I would tell them to bolt.

[Billy Whizz]

St Mirren at home

[Austinho]

Followed by Rangers away

[SMAXXA]

Take that

[DarlingtonHibee]

Billy, officially?

[yerauldda]

[BoomtownHibees]

December looks fun 😳

[SteveHFC]

Dwc is a big month
Aberdeen, celtic, rangers and hearts

[The 90+2]

Hearts sheep Celtic and Sheep all in a row 🙈

[SMAXXA]

December looks fun 😳

Was just about to post the same ffs that’s a tough set of fixtures

[Diclonius]

Hahahaha I miss the derby because I'm flying to Greece, that was literally the one day of the whole season I didn't want it on

[BoomtownHibees]

Only 1 Derby scheduled for a weekend as well. Ross County away on a Wednesday night

[Billy Whizz]

https://spfl.co.uk/admin/filemanager/images/shares/pdfs/Ladbrokes-Premiership-2019-2020.pdf

[we are hibs]

Absolutely shocked to see us get Aberdeen Celtic rangers and hearts back to back for the third year running

[GlesgaeHibby]

December looks fun 😳

Ross county away on a Wednesday night. The farce that is SPFL fixture scheduling continues.

[The 90+2]

We always get hearts nowhere near payday before the new year.

[Austinho]

I’m sure we had the same difficult ties all in December last year? Fixtures against the top teams all grouped together. Surely it’s not a coincidence?

[hibee_girl]

Ross county away on a Wednesday night. The farce that is SPFL fixture scheduling continues.

We’ve also got them at home on a Wednesday later in the season. Crazy

[1van Sprou7e]

How do we always get Celtic rangers and aberdeen 3 games in a row?

[HH81]

I’m sure we had the same difficult ties all in December last year? Fixtures against the top teams all grouped together. Surely it’s not a coincidence?

Everyone plays the same amount of games. Going into that run in form makes the difference.

[The 90+2]

Good time to get crowds and tv viewers. All they games will be sell outs.

[The 90+2]

Everyone plays the same amount of games. Going into that run in form makes the difference.

Yeah look at the run after and it looks easy on paper.

[Diclonius]

Is there any chance, any chance at all, that the first derby will be moved to Friday night? Probably not because of the massive idiots last season.

[Hibs90]

Sheep, Rangers, Celtic and Hearts all in December again

What a farce.

[The 90+2]

Is there any chance, any chance at all, that the first derby will be moved to Friday night? Probably not because of the massive idiots last season.

If BT tell the clubs they want it, it will move. Check the Prem fixtures or championship fixtures to see who it clashes with.

[marinello59]

I’m sure we had the same difficult ties all in December last year? Fixtures against the top teams all grouped together. Surely it’s not a coincidence?

I love having big games grouped together like that, every game capable of being an emotional roller coaster. It’s what being a fitba fan is all about.
Actually I jost love the fixtures coming out, buzzing for the season ahead.

[Speedway]

Where are the post split fixtures?

[Diclonius]

If BT tell the clubs they want it, it will move. Check the Prem fixtures or championship fixtures to see who it clashes with.

Chelsea v Liverpool and Arsenal v Aston Villa are the only big ones on, that isn't enough to push it to Friday.

[Pretty Boy]

Another brutal run of fixtures over Christmas.

[oneone73]

Ross county away on a Wednesday night. The farce that is SPFL fixture scheduling continues.

Are Ross County not allowed to get a midweek game at home? Why is it a farce?

[Green Badger]

I’m sure we had the same difficult ties all in December last year? Fixtures against the top teams all grouped together. Surely it’s not a coincidence?

We had in Dec last year

1/12 Kilmarnock
5/12 St Mirren
8/12 Hamilton
16/12 Celtic
19/12 Rangers
22/12 Livi
26/12 Rangers
29/12 Hearts

Along with the 4 difficult fixtures we also had a total of 8 games in 28 days before the winter break, crazy

[Billy Whizz]

Where are the post split fixtures?

On my link above Speedway

[Hibs90]

Funny that Aberdeen and Hearts December fixtures look alot smoother than ours :rolleyes:

[we are hibs]

Notice we have 6 games in december and only 2 at home

[calumhibee1]

Are Ross County not allowed to get a midweek game at home? Why is it a farce?

Because it’s an absolute treck. Midweek games should have to be within a certain radius of the away team. It’s impossible for the vast majority of fans to get there during the week.

[The 90+2]

Chelsea v Liverpool and Arsenal v Aston Villa are the only big ones on, that isn't enough to push it to Friday.

Nothing in The Championship? It’s a slim possibility but could happen. Idiot events draw viewers after all.

[The 90+2]

Funny that Aberdeen and Hearts December fixtures look alot smoother than ours :rolleyes:

Conspiracy 🤬

[HibbyKeith]

Where are the post split fixtures?

:fishin::greengrin

[The Modfather]

Funny that Aberdeen and Hearts December fixtures look alot smoother than ours :rolleyes:

Does that not mean elsewhere in the season we will have “smoother” fixtures in comparison to Hearts & Aberdeen?

[The 90+2]

Does that not mean elsewhere in the season we will have “smoother” fixtures in comparison to Hearts & Aberdeen?

Hearts have Aberdeen and Celtic away first three games.

[oneone73]

Because it’s an absolute treck. Midweek games should have to be within a certain radius of the away team. It’s impossible for the vast majority of fans to get there during the week.

So Ross County wouldn't get any midweek games? Nonsense.
Wonder how fans in every other league cope?

[hibee_girl]

They’ve only announced one tv fixture so far, Killie v Rangers on opening weekend

[calumhibee1]

So Ross County wouldn't get any midweek games? Nonsense.

Make sure their midweek games are against Aberdeen and St Johnstone (or whoever is closest). Gives them 6 games against the closest two teams to play midweek which is more than enough.

Scottish football needs to do all it can to get fans through the door. Putting teams up at Dingwall midweek where away fans will have to take at least one day off work to go is ridiculous.

[Zazu62]

Try being a Newcastle fan

[Hibee87]

Both of them are in Europe on the Thursday so would have been playing the Sunday anyway, made it easy for the TV companies to pick i assume.

I would have expected Aberdeen and Herts to be the Sunday as well based on them being in Europe.

[Billy Whizz]

They’ve only announced one tv fixture so far, Killie v Rangers on opening weekend

Possibly the difficulty is Celtic, Rangers May still be in europe, could have fixtures on Tues/Wednesday or Thursday

[calumhibee1]

Try being a Newcastle fan

I get in England it’s worse. Big difference is that they still get the crowds either way, we don’t. I would usually go to Ross County at the weekend but it’s simply not possible during the week. I’d reckon the majority that would usually go at the weekend will be the same.

[Brooster]

This is hilarious. Ross County away during the week, tough games in December, Hearts and Aberdeen have 'smoother' fixtures. Some folk must look forward to the fixtures coming out so they can have a good moan. Every team has the same fixtures. Deal with it.

[danhibees1875]

A 3 week break just to play Hamilton on a Wednesday night... :rolleyes:

December is a shift too. Already spotting a couple of games I'll miss, including the opener. 😣

[Since452]

Hearts have Aberdeen and Celtic away first three games.

They'll have won the league by then anyway

[Not In The Know]

Win all our games in December and we will the league.

[The 90+2]

They'll have won the league by then anyway

Is that what the fireworks are for or is that for winning the league last October? It’s hard to keep up.

[The 90+2]

Win all our games in December and then lose to Hamilton and St Mirren .

Fixed 👍

[The_Horde]

Sheep, Rangers, Celtic and Hearts all in December again

What a farce.

Killie at the end of November followed by a midweek trip to County before that run.

Wonderful.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Never mind December, our opening round of fixtures is tough i think.
Starting on September 14th we have Killie away followed by Hearts, Celtic and Aberdeen.
We have to wait until matchday 9 for a fairly easy (on paper) run of fixtures when we get Livi, Hamilton and Ross County.

[Blaster]

Killie at the end of November followed by a midweek trip to County before that run.

Wonderful.

I know. We’d have been much better staying in the championship eh

[GlesgaeHibby]

Are Ross County not allowed to get a midweek game at home? Why is it a farce?

A 7/8 hour round trip midweek in December for hibs (and Ross county fans later in the season) is far from ideal. Already an expensive month with a packed fixture list and Christmas. Hardly encouraging fans to attend games. A bigger top tier would help solve this, the few midweek games up there could include ICT, St Johnstone and Aberdeen.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Killie at the end of November followed by a midweek trip to County before that run.

Wonderful.
I know everybody plays the same teams, the same number of times but a run like that is really gruelling and can really ramp up both the psychological pressure and the physical impact on the club and squad.
It really can do your season in.

[GloryGlory]

Is that what the fireworks are for or is that for winning the league last October? It’s hard to keep up.

I thought it was for winning the Champions League in May for the fifth year running. :greengrin

[Hibs90]

Exactly, but the usual folk on here find it hillarious don't you know.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Ross country away on a Wednesday night! Yipee!

[elevengoats]

I was basically waiting for 1 game - Ross County away. And sure enough - it's midweek! :D And sure enough, there is only one away game against them. Murphy's law.

[PH91]

Brutal run of fixtures in dec again but it does mean a more 'favourable' run of 8 fixtures leading up to dec to build some momentum.

First Hearts game in Sept, would love to be going into it on 15 points. Perhaps a bit optimistic!

[hibee1875]

Does anyone know when the hospitality packages are normally released? Looking to get in for the derby on the 21st

[SMAXXA]

December looks fun 😳

Was just about to post the same ffs that’s a tough set of fixtures

[hibsdaft]

December will be tough but we can take a massive support through to Livi and make it an occasion.
Could be more like a home game. Albeit on a plastic pitch.

[southsider]

Ross country away on a Wednesday night! Yipee!

Will most likely be off. No undersoul heating at RC ?

[Oscar T Grouch]

Will most likely be off. No undersoul heating at RC ?

Nah I am sure I've been up there in the dead of winter before and the pitch was okay. It's the Wednesday night journey home that kills me, especially for work in the morning. County put undersoil heating in as it is a requirement for the premiership I think.

[Diclonius]

I suspect Kilmarnock's feelgood factor is going to evaporate pretty rapidly when they get hammered by Rangers.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Absolutely shocked to see us get Aberdeen Celtic rangers and hearts back to back for the third year running

This is for the telly fest when folks are off work. Dont knock it this is what we should want. The 12 points of Christmas.

[Hibeewilly]

Ross County have to come to Easter Road on a Wednesday night in February as well. Utter farce in terms of the fixture planning. The Rosshire Club will be disappointed....we're normally in there for just short of three hours on a Saturday before the game...….that fncks up another great trip unless we get them in the split and its away :fuming:

[wookie70]

The two teams you would try to get to play Ross County midweek are Aberdeen and St Johnstone. Neither play them midweek. Motherwell and Hibs both have reverse fixtures against Ross County midweek and The Rangers and Hearts and Livingston also have to travel up there. At least they avoided Killie and Ross County playing midweek. Ross County play 5 out of their 7 midweek fixtures at home so they have came out of the "draw" quite well. You could argue that it is favourable to them as the away teams will have smaller supports midweek.

The fixtures clearly are not random as we keep getting these tough runs in December and Hearts are allowed to decide where they play on opening day. Why don't the league try to make it so it is easiest for fans from the get go. If TV changes them that at least is their fault.

I'm glad they are back in the league as I love a trip up there but the start of December midweek is about as bad as it could be.

We had planned (hoped) to make a weekend out of it, hopefully next season...

[SChibs]

Do people really think the SFA get together and decide we're gonna **** Hibs over in December by giving them harder games? Why would they do this?

[hibee-boys]

Jeezo, people do like to moan about the most trivial of things. The fixtures are what they are, really don't think there's some conspiracy. In fact, we've got a reasonable start with the opportunity to build some momentum before a more difficult run of games.

[hfc rd]

I might be the only one here that is really looking forward to those December fixtures. One of the major reasons why I wanted the club promoted back to the Premiership for games like those. Don’t understand why people are moaning for moaning sakes?

[Billy Whizz]

Probably because it cold and dark, also an expensive time of year

I’m looking forward to them as well. I love when we get a run of ‘big’ games together. :flag:

[Billy Whizz]

Could be even more, if we get through to the Betfred Cup semis and final

[hfc rd]

Understandable for it being the most expensive time of the year.

However the weather, I don’t know what people are expecting for Scottish weather in December? We aren’t in Dubai. You can get all four seasons in the one day

[marinello59]

Could be even more, if we get through to the Betfred Cup semis and final

Could be?
Will be.:greengrin

Pretty sure it is a requirement.

[3pm]

When are the TV games announced?

[Billy Whizz]

When are the TV games announced?

It’s game has been announced, then presume when they know who’s still in Europe. Can’t see any of our August games being on TV

Any idea how many games Sky are allowed to show each weekend?

Edit, forgot the Sky exclusive deal doesn’t kick in until 2020

[Wheat Hound]

Europa qualifying R3 on Thurs 8th Aug so if sevco make it that far our game on 10th will be moved to Sunday

[jgl07]

Does anyone know why there are no SPFL fixtures on 17/18 August, 2019?

There seems to be a full programme in the English Premier League that weekend.

[Craig_in_Prague]

League cup? It was last season anyway.

:agree:

It’s the next round of the league cup
