Non Hibs Groundhopping - Take 2

[Pretty Boy]

With another break upon us what are people's football plans for the next few weeks.

I'm off to Linlithgow today for Linlithgow Rose v Civil Service Strollers. Got tickets for Tynecastle for the women's final v Rangers in December and will likely take in a couple of Spartans games as well.

[Lago]

Penman Park Kirkcaldy for K&D v Whitehill Welfare in the 1st round of the Kings Cup. Going to be soft underfoot after all the recent rain.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Always get a cracking pie at Preston field and you should be able to get into the bar

[Bristolhibby]

Watching some rugby tomorrow. Bath are playing the Barbarians at the Rec.

Took in Chesterfields 2-0 win over Solihull Moors. Was a decent game, gate was 7001 very decent for a 5th tier game

10K at Wrexham and 16.5K at Meadow Lane. Quite exceptional.

[wookie70]

First visit to Cove Rangers today to photograph their match with Morton. Some familiar faces on show and a really nice wee ground. Game was poor due to the high winds and Morton probably just about deserved their win. Was glad to get a heat in the car after a pretty cold few hours.

[Pretty Boy]

Linlithgow v Strollers was a decent choice yesterday.

The game was an insult to football but it did have a player subbed for fighting with his teammate over who took a penalty, 2 red cards, 4 goals, a couple of brawls on the park and an old boy ask me for a square go in the pub because he thought I had stolen his phone (I hadn't).

Proper football.

Sorry I missed you PB, illness made me miss it, usually entertaining here!

Saturday 10th Dec.

Heading to Sheffield United v Huddersfield. Yorkshire derby.

Not cheap but got good seats. Hope game not awful.

Was at Broadwood for the Open Goal Broomhill v Strollers game last night. 4-1 Broomhill.

Wasn't a great game tbh and didn't feel entertaining enough for 5 goals but Broomhill took advantage of a ridiculously soft penalty in the 1st half and a couple of chances on the break late on. They were deserved winners but 4-1 flattered both them and the game.

Crowd of just under 400. Broomhill try to put on a bit of a show. Disco lights before the game and when they score is a sight to see😅. The kebab pie was a revelation, a solid 9/10 job. Only disappointment was the usually excellent stadium bar was closed.

[Keith_M]

Visiting the relatives in December so probably gonna take in a game between SC Magdeburg and Erlangen.

Never been to their ground before, so looking forward to it.

[HH81]

Saturday 10th Dec.

Heading to Sheffield United v Huddersfield. Yorkshire derby.

Not cheap but got good seats. Hope game not awful.

Nice ground in Sheffield, I like it.

Huddersfield we're absolutely awful. Sheffield slightly better, scored a good goal and hung on easy.

Typical Heckingbottom team set up.

One thing that was bizarre though. A guy walked onto the pitch in the first half. He walked to half way and sort of crouched down on one knee for a while. Stewards walked up to him and left him before he walked back to them and got arrested. Never seen anything like it in a ground before.

[Logie Green]

If you show your Hibs season ticket at the turnstile today you can watch Spartans v East Stirlingshire (3pm at Ainslie Park) for £5/£3 if you’re looking for a match to attend.

Should be a good game.

Spartans need to keep winning as it's down to 3 teams for the play off now. I was at Falkirk for the East Stirling game last week when they turned over Edinburgh Uni and they are much improved since Sandy Clark took over.

Kirkcaldy and Dysart v Dunbar for me this afternoon, looking forward to a good game.

[Valencia]

Meggatland for Tynecastle v Haddington Athletic

Are Kirkcaldy and Dysart an evolution of Kirkcaldy YM?

My cousin was with them for a while, played for and managed them, I think.

Surprise result, the third goal - free kick - what a cracker

https://www.kirkcaldydysartfc.co.uk/clubinfo/1012

The YM merged with Dysart Amateur Football Club in 2019 under the name of Kirkcaldy & Dysart FC and in 2020 made the move to the East of Scotland League in the Scottish Football Pyramid. The extended close season in 2020 saw extensive work on the park with the formation of a new boundary fence and additional hospitality facilities.

[Northernhibee]

Have a week off work next month so went onto Skyscanner a few weeks back and picked flights on the basis of the cheapest destination I’ve not visited yet. Ended up being Budapest at £41 return.

Turns out Ferencvarosi are playing in the Europa League when I’m there and drew Leverkusen.Need to register at the ground to get a ticket so all being well and there being tickets remaining, going to that.

[Silky]

Took my son to Meadowbank for FC Edinburgh vs Clyde. First time I've been there since it got done up and the wee stand is just horrible. Good win for Edinburgh who deserved the 3 points.

[Lago]

They are, massive change since the YM days with ground improvements and decent hospitality for the size of the club. They also had their young full back Callum Hannah start for Scotland U18 school boys this week.

Was at Workington v Macclesfield yesterday with the father in law as we were down visiting. Decent game and atmosphere. Macclesfield brought a decent number up and didn't stop singing the whole day.

Was magic getting to drink a pint and watch a game too

[Mr Grieves]

Have a weekend in Düsseldorf coming up and booked tickets for a couple of bundesliga games. Bayer leverkusen v Eintracht Frankfurt on the saturday and Borussia Mönchengladbach v Wolfsburg on the Sunday. Anybody been to either of these grounds?

[Lancs Harp]

Alfreton Town v AFC Fylde on Saturday. Conference North game (tier 6). Alfreton 9th, Fylde top. A new ground for me.

[Pretty Boy]

I've been at 2 games this week.

Civil Service Strollers v Stirling Uni on Saturday past. Not the best game and finished 0-0. Strollers had the better of the first half, both teams cancelled each other out in the 2nd.

Spartans v Stirling Uni on Saturday. A brilliant 1stvhalf performance from Spartans saw them 4-0 up at HT, helped by some more than questionable defending and goalkeeping. Game finished the same way and that was a huge step towards the league title for Spartans albeit there is a long way to go.

For anyone not aware Saturday is 'Groundhop Day'. A lot of clubs offering good prices, putting on special events and moving KO times to allow people to take in more than one game. Think I'm going to head down to Tranent for a 5pm kick off there.

[Northernhibee]

Got my ticket for Ferencvarosi Vs Bayern Leverkusen tonight. £29. Currently scranning like the best of them in Budapest.

[wookie70]

Ochilview for me on Saturday. Queens Park the hosts on this occasion against ICT. Table toppers v Scottish Cup semi finalists. The last time I photographed these two teams a Jambo loanee knocked Queens Park out the cup despite being on the winning side and that has been a slice of luck for ICT that they have hugely capitalised on. Been at Ochilview a few times so familiar territory and hope the weather is ok as it is pretty exposed down one end

[Lago]

Heading down to watch Kirkcaldy and Dysart v Leith Athletic, tough game for Kirkcaldy after getting a bit of a doing from the Glens last Saturday.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

There's a crowd of us going to Bonnyrigg Rose v East Fife on Saturday.

The Rosey Posey were unlucky last weekend, injury time defeat away to Stirling Albion. Level on points with Albion Rovers, who are away to top of the league Dumbarton at the weekend, so a chance to get off the bottom.

Small world. 10 hibbies doing similar. Based on Düsseldorf, got tickets for Dortmund v Union on Saturday and Mönchengladbach v Wolfsburg on Sunday.
For the Sunday we’re heading to the Fanhaus on the Sunday. I had emailed them and they’ve offered to reserve us a 10 litre keg of Altbier for before the game [emoji3059]

Nice. Despite borussia park being miles out of town there does seem to be good options for pre match pints at fanhaus and the beer garden. How did you get the Dortmund tickets? I've been looking on their website but there's been nothing

Aye the Fanhaus looks great.

Dortmund I signed my son up as a member so allowed up to 4 tickets in their advanced sales. I then got the other 8 through a Dutch match ticket company called groundhopticket. They get 4.9 out of 5 on trustpilot. Paid €77.50 through them for a €45 ticket but that’s a damn sight cheaper than the likes of stubhub.

Looking forward to visiting Matty jacks pub in Düsseldorf too.

Had a better look at it and it does aye, fully booked up now anyway, nightmare. I’ll keep an eye on it though as desperate to get to the Millerntor at some point shortly, proven to be mission impossible getting tickets that aren’t hospitality thus far though. Cheers for that mate!

Was there a couple of weeks ago for the game v East Fife. Good day out, pies were decent too.

[Pretty Boy]

Spartans v Stoneyburn last night.

A Spartans team with 8 under 20s in the line up won 9-0.

I've seen a fair few East of Scotland games this season and the gap between the top end of the Premier with sides like Linlithgow Rose and Sauchie and teams even in the 1st Division is huge. When you get to the 3rd division there are Saturday amateur teams who would be more competitive.

[Northernhibee]

Puskás arena was possibly the best venue for football I’ve been in. Atmosphere was incredible, whole outside of the stadium lit up in green and white, and a great view wherever you were.

Should be a decent game that mate. I went to kiddiminster,Southport and Chorley this season and Chorley definitely best for the steak pies lol

[Lancs Harp]

It was but i think Fylde just had that little bit more quality. Brave fight from Alfreton tho.

Chesterfield v Halifax this week. The last time I saw Halifax play they were a league club and Blackpool beat them 7-1. Think Dave Bamber got a hatrick.

Hope Halifax beat them 😁

Off to the Kent coast to watch Herne Bay v Enfield Town.

You can't go far wrong with a big tray of Steak Pie, chips, gravy and mushy peas at Victory Park.

Last game I made it down for was Flyde's last minute winner there at New Year (which was a sickener).

You should be strong enough to hold on to top spot now. Another play off battle for Chorley it seems.

On the groundhopping front, off to Albion Rovers v Bonnyrigg Rose today.

To be fair mate Chesterfields new ground is a bit of an upgrade from Saltergate which was on a par with Central Park for facilities :)

I was at Saltergate to watch Lincoln one. Went for a wiz and found the toilets had no roof on. They were rumoured to be paying Jack Lester £4000 pw but couldn’t put a cheap roof on the toilets. Horrible ground.

[Lancs Harp]

2-0 Chesterfield bit of a one sided game i dont remember the Shaymen managing a goal attempt. Good to get out to a match. Attendance 7091 (325 brave souls from Halifax) pretty good for tier 5.

I was at new York Red Bulls stadium last week. amazing stadium, crazy prices and the football wasn't great.

Nice to do something different for a change though...

[CyberSauzee]

604 at Herne Bay today. Artificial pitch was in better condition than the one at Livvy. 3-1 Enfield Town but the best player was Enfield's keeper Nathan MacDonald.

Next up Hornchurch at home on Tuesday.

Finally got to York city new stadium on Friday.

Different to a lot of the new grounds in how it was set out. Liked how when go in go to a big food court with loads of space and it's linked to two different stands. Good open space.

£6.00 a pint though was taking the piss.

Lots to do around the ground if you like tenpin bowling or the like.

Possibly Spartans-Livi tomorrow.

Still seem to have tickets available. Anyone have any tips? It's been years since I've been there for a game, although I'm at the gym every week. The last time was for a Hibs-related charity match. Met JonnyBoy (RIP) for the first time that day.

If you want to sit then do it in the stand nearest the community pitch, the ultras occupy the other one.

If you want to stand go behind the goals at the far end as there is decent slope there for a good vantage point.

Ended up going.

The Spartans Ultras were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps scared off by the reputation of the Livi mob. Jeez, they were nippy. Average age about 12, so couldn't even blame it on the charlie. Eventually, they all got chucked out because they broke a couple of seats. :greengrin No messing from the stewards, and maybe a wee lesson for us. :cb

I watched from the banked area, and might go back there with my grand-daughter. Plenty room for her to run about.

Oh yeah, full-time Livi won 2-0.

Apparently they were Edinburgh City ultras trying to stir up bother, there is a video going about of them marching through Edinburgh. They are a bunch of wee fannies, most of them are Hibs or Hearts fans, my daughter goes to school with a few of them, a bunch of wee scrotes (my terminology, not hers!].

I’m not sure if they even all go to City games now since they clamped down in them.

That’s correct. The United fans are snooty and dismissive of Athletic, but I get a sense of unease from them the closer Athletic get to them in the pyramid (though they are still a couple of leagues below).

Certainly were, formed in Linlithgow . Saw them a couple of times and they are an excellent team. Beat Dunbar away recently 4-1 in the big Scottish Cup. It is weird that a town the size of Bo'ness has 2 teams in the big Scottish cup.

As an aside. Bo'ness Utd have a huge advert in their ground with a huge Rangers badge and "Bo'ness True Blues" written for all to see!

is their hospitality not sponsored by them?

There is a sponsorship deal but I don't have any details.

This Saturday, off to Thornton Hibs v Hutchie Vale in the EOS Qualifying Cup, then through to Murrayfield to watch Edinburgh Capitals v Dundee Rockets, with the #29 shirt retirement of formal Caps player Martin Cingel

[andrew70]

Anyone ever been to a Sporting Lisbon game?

I am going to Lisbon for my 40th in January and they are playing Bologna in the Champions League that same week so looking to go to that.

Any tips for hotels, bars etc let me know.

[StevieT]

I'm thinking of going along to Forfar v Berwick Rangers. Prices have been cut to £10 for adults, £5 for concessions and under 12s are free if accompanied with an adult.

[berwickhibee]

Musselburgh v Caledonian braves in the Scottish cup for me👍

[Pretty Boy]

Thornton Hibs V Hutchie Vale for me on Saturday.

A double Hibs weekend, hopefully not double disappointment.

Was at their Champions League match v Lille. Best to drink in the city, there's two metro lines to the ground.

should be a close game, although Thornton have allot of injuries at present they may not field a strong team.

Thornton had one of their coaches, Ian Shanks, playing in defence on Saturday given a range of absences. The club's own media described him as being two years older than Santa, and throwing away his zimmer frame present match. He then rightly won MOM!

Some cracking Scottish Cup ties on Saturday.

Bit gutted to be missing the linlithgow rose game. always like a wee trip to prestonfield

[HH81]

I went to Rochdale v Halifax the other night. Been to ground a few times but was excellent for national league.

I'm hoping for a dry day and a Rosey Posey win.

[Pretty Boy]

1-0 Hibs in Thornton. Hopefully the first of a double.

Here's hoping that it's not so close/tense tomorrow, with Hibs getting a convincing lead early on!

Fingers crossed. A performance as committed as a few in green put in today will see us ok.

Was good to meet you today, always nice to put a face to a name.

a very gutsy performance from the Thornton midfield. The 6 covered every blade of grass. For all Hutchy pressure Thornton had the more dangerous chances.

on a side note see Hutchy are now in the relegation zone after Sauchie points deduction

[KdyHby]

Thornton Hibs v Crossgates Primrose today, here's hoping it's another victory for the 🇳🇬

[LancashireHibby]

I went to Walsall v Bolton on Saturday and then the game yesterday. So glad I booked today off work 😂

[Pretty Boy]

Raith Rovers v Morton for me today.

Under 12s get in free which is a nice touch. Going with my neighbour and his daughter who are both Rovers fans.

A quirk of fate sees 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th, 5th v 6th, 7th v 8th and 9th v 10th in the Championship today. It's a really competitive league. Hopefully one we keep watching from afar.

[tbfhibs2]

Civil v Irvine Meadow

[andrew70]

No car today so a bus up to the Jack Kane for a double header.

ECFA Hope Church v Port Seton 1100hrs
LEAFA Sandys v Edin Uni 4s 1330hrs

[Crab apple]

Went to Stranraer v Bonnyrigg. Good game on a grass pitch, goals, penalty, sending off and a last minute winner.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Big game for linlithgow on Saturday should see a good crowd at Prestonfield. Be sure to queue early for your steak and haggis pie!!

Should be a decent Hibs connection on the pitch as well!

I now can't make it as parental guilt got in the way so going to the ice hockey instead.

Got a ticket going free if anyone would like it. It's through fanbase so will be able to email.

[andrew70]

Anyone going to a game tomorrow?

I am thinking about Musselburgh v Penicuik.

[Pretty Boy]

Spartans v Edinburgh City for me.

[Green Man]

I’m off to the real Glasgow derby at Firhill.

[KdyHby]

Off to the big Fife derby, Thornton Hibs v both Kirkcaldy & Dysart. Here's hoping for another Hibs derby win 🇳🇬

[zitelli62]

Done Accrington Stanley hospitality couple of weeks back was absolutely brilliant, hospitality food was brilliant and cheap drink and also got in players lounge after the game and spoke for ages to john doolan about our cup win some of his stories were brilliant. Anyone looking for something different would highly recommend you won't be disappointed.

[Pretty Boy]

Competitive and enjoyable game in awful conditions at Ainslie Park.

Spartans well deserved winners, dominated for much of the game, created by far the better chances and even after (deservedly imo) going down to 10 men probably had the better chances in that period as well. City had been on a good run but they looked very disjointed for long spells and 'try to get it to Connor Young and pray' seemed the tactic of choice for much of the 2nd half.

Whittaker was well off it first half but he came onto a game in the 2nd and had a couple of important headed clearances late on.

Thinking of doing a game in England on 15 March and see they are home to Gillingham, how much did you pay mate?

[linlithgowhibbie]

Newtown Park Bo'ness for derby vs Linlithgow Rose,,, 3-1 for the Rosey Posey.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Looks like £57.

[Scouse Hibee]

Looks like £57.

Yeah just had a look, sounds a bargain, think the four of us may do it.

Hospitality was free my mates dad more or less runs the club which was a bonus but even at £57 well worth it outside caterers do the food and was excellent also they have free draws and raffles as part of the day overall can't recommend enough if you decide to go you won't be disappointed, I stayed in Preston and got train to Accrington took about 25 minutes.

A word on Bonnyrigg’s pitch problems and their need for cash to help sort the pitch issues and maintain SPFL football.

Cheers mate, now have this booked for three of us, looking forward to it.

[hibsbollah]

I’m through in the southside of Glasgow at echoey Hampden Park for Scottish Cup 4th round Queens Park vs Montrose. 1-0 Queens goal at the stroke of halftime, ex-Hibs and minor nutcase Sean Welsh in the Queens midfield.

If Blair Lyons plays like this every week Hibs should think about looking at him as a cheap punt, two tremendous goals second half for Montrose and clearly the standout on the left wing. 1-2 half way through the 2nd half.

Queens 3-2 after extra time. Some game.

An absolute pleasure buying a pie without having to queue for 25 minutes at Easter Road. Theyve staffed the catering like there was50,000 here :faf:

[speedy_gonzales]

Last minute jaunt down to Leeds today to see Utd play Cardiff.
Gutted I'm missing Aberdeen at home today but a spare place came up for hospitality with a group of mates, and I don't say no to a free lunch!
Looking forward to it, I used to enjoy watching Leeds from afar in the late 90's, early 00's. Players like Haaland Snr, Kewell, Hasselbaink, even a young Alan Maybury!

[babahibs]

I'm going to the Sukhothai v Muangthong game tomorrow at the Thalay Luang Stadium in the Thai League 1.
Looking forward to it, no doubt I'll drink far too much Sangsom.
