Norwich Friendly

Playing Norwich at Easter Road on the 24th of July.

Yasssss


Demanding an away leg

[04Sauzee]

Is this the game free with a season ticket ?

Not everyone's cup of tea but I quite like a preseason friendly.

Only 11 weeks away 😁

Seems pretty obvious to me that it means we are appointing Daniel ****e as manager.

No other logical explanation (that I’m willing to listen to)

That’s a Premier Sports Cup weekend according to the other thread so presumably one or the other will be a weaker team?

[davhibby]

That’s a Premier Sports Cup weekend according to the other thread so presumably one or the other will be a weaker team?

It just means we’ll have asked the spfl if we can have our free matchday on that weekend. We’ll have our 4 games the 2 weekends and midweeks before the Norwich game.

Fingers crossed we can get a game down south before that like we did with Carlisle last time out

[Lancs Harp]

Away friendly at either of the Sheffield clubs, Forest, Derby, Mansfield or of course my new home Chesterfield. Most welcome. Get it sorted Ben tgeres a good lad ;)

[IberianHibernian]

That’s a Premier Sports Cup weekend according to the other thread so presumably one or the other will be a weaker team?Free home friendly on 24th July was mentioned as an incentive to renew ST a while ago . Maybe because club assumed we`d be in Europe by winning cup or at least finishing in top 5 so wouldn`t have League Cup match that weekend . I suppose we could play a LC tie on Saturday 23rd and play Norwich the next day .

[NAE NOOKIE]

Jeezo, what the hell is it with this club? How long is it going to be before we get a decent away trip for a friendly, especially with no European football on the agenda.

[Hibbyradge]

York City or Bradford.

Or Leeds...

[SteveHFC]

Don't know why the club don't arrange games in England or even in Ireland.

I'm seriously considering going down near Great Yarmouth for a week long caravan holiday park. Worth it Jim?

[MWHIBBIES]

Because it costs a fortune and is pointless?

Will that be the first friendly of the summer do folk think?

Back in the country mid June-mid July and was really hoping to get a game in

[JimBHibees]

only 40 quid return to knock to come and play Sligo Rovers 😉

[LancsHibs]

This doesn’t excite me, can’t see me driving up for a friendly against Norwich. If it was in Norwich that would have been more interesting. Will be interested to see what else we arrange. Hopefully a wee tour somewhere!

[LancsHibs]

Now that would be some trip:agree:

[DH1875]

They are playing celtic the day before so don't see them having much of a tram out or many fans at our game.

Maybe Ron can persuade Delia to give a half time cookery demonstration. Surely that would tempt a few more through the turnstiles.

Can we play Rapid Vienna? Haven't been to their new stadium yet... and I want to see who's living in my old house in Unter St Veit.

She might give another famous half-time cameo to the Hibs support after getting pissed in the new hospitality suites.

Any further south and the police bill makes it a bit of a no-go really, sadly for me.

Carlisle a couple of years ago.

[LancashireHibby]

Carlisle a couple of years ago.
That was midweek though. Different story altogether for the weekend that everyone is clamouring for (plus the dates are all over the place this year with the League Cup plus early starts for EFL).

[Tambo]

Shrewsbury away under Lennon was a good game.

Just booked off the 25th at work so looking forward to this.

Anyone guess prices? £20?

[Jones28]

What Hibs reserves v Norwich reserves

It was just a wee bit sarcastic.

[IberianHibernian]

So probably a League Cup group match on Saturday 23rd ( home or away , maybe on Friday for telly ) then Norwich on Sunday . Back in 1970s it was quite normal to play games on successive days at new year ( Tynecastle on 1st January 1971 , home to Cowdenbeath a day later , away to Celtic in league in mid 70s and SC tie v Meadowbank at Holy Ground the next day ) . On Saturday , Celtic v Norwich and Rangers v Tottenham on same day ? ) .

[Is It On....]

Or Alan Partridge.

What a brilliant character

[hibee-boys]

If a slightly inebriated Ron Gordon doesn’t stagger onto the pitch at half time shouting abuse at the fans he obviously doesn’t care enough😏

[NAE NOOKIE]

Carlisle a couple of years ago.

A few years before that we played them on a weekend and the police presence was mental, never seen the like even for Hibs v Hearts, think there was a copper for every 10 Hibs fans.

[Bristolhibby]

That would have been a brilliant trip lovely part of the world

We never get friendlies in England anymore. At least not in Carlisle. (That doesn’t count as I’d be just as well off driving to Scotland).

I remember going to Bolton, Blackburn, Blackpool, Shrewsbury. It’s always doable for us English based fans (of which there are loads) to be able to get to a game relatively easily.

Westcountry tour please Hibs - Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, Swindon Town, Forest Green Rovers, Yeovil Town, Exeter City, Plymouth Argyle.

[Jones28]

You could do some great little mini tours down in England. I always hoped there’d be a pre season tour of Humberside when I lived down there. Scunthorpe, Hull, Grimsby, Lincoln and Doncaster all within spitting distance.

[leith lynx]

I was at the infamous Millwall away game, whoever gave the OK for that particular game has a lot to answer for!

[kaimendhibs]

Away friendly at either of the Sheffield clubs, Forest, Derby, Mansfield or of course my new home Chesterfield. Most welcome. Get it sorted Ben tgeres a good lad ;)My cousins live in Mansfield. Be great to see them but a horrendous journey from Edinburgh.

Don't know about Great Yarmouth but have relatives in Norfolk and very nice. Loads of lovely villages with decent pubs

Its a james hunt of a drive or you're relying on 2 x train connections being on time. Not the easiest of journeys. The fact that Edinburgh or Glasgow has no direct rail services to that part of the Midlands is poor imo.

Never mind Glasgow & Edinburgh, I was looking at trains from Manchester to Mansfield in preparation for Bolton (possibly) going there next season. Quickest route is 2 hours 53 minutes with two changes (Sheffield & Worksop)!

It was the under-18s. Imagine it might be a bit of an older team this time around though. Be boys coming back from injury too perhaps who might need the gametime.

We won’t be. The Norwich game will have been announced after we’d agreed with the SPFL that the weekend of the 23rd will be our free matchday in the league cup. We’ll play the 2 weekends and 2 midweeks before it in the cup.

No reason why we can’t get a game down south on the 2nd/6th July, we did that the last time and played Carlisle

I'd rather not go back there, there was some aggro last time and a hibby took a right doing on the way back from the ground, there was also running battles botcher gate post match.

Lincoln

Sheffield United

I remember the hurriedly arranged game at Selhurst Park in February 1978, due to a weather wipe out throughout the country, although London was relatively frost free.

Ally McLeod, scored the only goal in a game memorable, by the outstanding performance of the 17yo Palace left-back, Kenny Sansom.
