Pre season friendlies

[SHODAN]

Any word on where we're going this summer? Would like Alloa or Dunfermline for obvious reasons.

[EGL2000]

Would love a decent sized English team away from home. See Aberdeen have got Charlton away, great little trip.

[badabing67]

The club saying this on the website

Full details on our pre-season training camp and our pre-season friendlies will be confirmed in due course!

[Haymaker]

New York Energy Drink FC would be a decent one for me :greengrin

[Ryan91]

Dunfermline is always a good day out, guaranteed to have a decent Hibs support

[Pretty Boy]

Development team are down at Dunbar on 4th July.

Nice wee set up and worth the trip.

[Bristolhibby]

I say this every year, and avoiding League Cup groups makes it more likely but a West Country team would be great.

Bristol City
Bristol Rovers
Swindon Town
Forest Green Rovers

Easy to get to includes

Southampton
Portsmouth
Wycombe Wanderers
Reading
Cardiff
Newport Town
Villa

LJ and Kensell likely have a lot of contacts down south, so you'd imagine the club will play at least 1 game in England. Hopefully on a Saturday.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Dunfermline is always a good day out, guaranteed to have a decent Hibs support

If we play Dunfermline in pre-season, it may be their biggest crowd of the year.

A weekend trip to Bristol would be near the top of my list.

Sunderland away would be tasty with a big Hibs travelling support you would think.

[Haymaker]

Went there once, got off the train at Harrison? Then a short walk to the station. Around the time Tim Cahil played there.
All closed up but someone came to the shop door to see if we needed anything, said we were on holiday and just having a look so she invited us into the shop to look around then she went away for 5-10 minutes, she came back and showed us up past the changing rooms out to the park and said, have a walk around and come back to the shop when you’re ready.
As we walked back, the 1st team were arriving from a training session. So surreal, like a kid in a candy store.
Bought a few bits and pieces from their shop. How could I not?

Yep, that's it!

Good little boozer up the road for us as well, nice wee walk for the Ultras :greengrin

[Glory Lurker]

Just found out Bristol City are ripping their pitch up. So no pre seasons until very close to the start of their season.

Norwich is a cracking city, I have family down there but dear god it's a hell of a long drive! Carrow road is a sweet ground too, have been there in my Newcastle supporting days! Saw mirandinha make his debut 👍

Blackpool have a similar thread on their message board about pre season friendlies. The only mention to date about playing Hibs has come from a guy who I know lives in Edinburgh (and has a leaning towards Hibs) so he probably got it off here 😀

Edit to add they do have confirmed friendlies with Southport (annual event in recent times) Barrow and Morecombe.

You can stay when games are on but they make you close the curtains when the game is on, might be different for friendly though, bit more relaxed, Might be able to watch it in the room with a few beers, it'll be FA regulations.

Blackpool away is a very strange fixture to arrange as tightly sandwiched between 2 European games means genuine 1st team players won't be risked and shouldn't even have to travel for such meaningless tosh.

I guess it does give a game to the real duffers, injury specialists and the "promising youngsters" so there is that aspect but its not much of spectacle for traveling supporters watching a glorified development team.

Another Northern English dump of a town as well in a poverty stricken region of so many to choose from.

Went there for a pre-season game a few years ago. Several friends and relatives made a weekend of it, staying over on Friday and Saturday. This meant we could all drive down and arrive and leave when it suited. The sun shone all weekend, watched a comedy show (not the match) and a good time was had by all.
Most of the "good time" was because we were all Hibbys and got to see a match in the close season and were among friends and like minded folk and the trip would not have happened without the match being held there. Blackpool is was it is. Not my cup of tea for a holiday but fine for a boozy football weekend.

We are not social snobs so a "dump of a town in a poverty stricken region" would never be a game changer for attending an away friendly.

(3 days instead of 2 but) I remember getting back from Maribor at about midnight on the Saturday night then heading down to Carlisle at about 0900 on the Sunday morning, quite a messy few days. IIRC Celtic were playing Arsenal in a pre season friendly and I managed to convince about half the punters in The Border Rambler to back Carlos Vela for 1st scorer, I'm sure he scored after about 3 mins which was nice! 👍🍺👍

I seem to remember a fellow Hibby being chucked out of Wetherspoons beer garden at about 1230 for downing 3 cocktail pitchers in a row in double quick time! 🥴

Dream come true for me as I live next to the place in Atalya - I can walk to it 🤭Any pub and eatery recommendations will be gladly passed on 👍

[JammyDoidger]

Well I'm looking forward to it.

Won't be able to afford a European away trip so a night in Blackpool with one of my bairns, some arcades, some rides on the piers, a trip up the tower and a chance to see the Hibs with a few pints for me and as many fruit shoots as she can manage.

Don't really care who is playing or who the opposition are. I'll have fun.

Exactly mate, a win win situation for many, bairns are happy and the adults too! If I could pick a summer friendly Blackpool would probably be it tbh😂, superb place for a game of football!

[blackpoolhibs]

I will pop down to one of the pubs near the ground next week, and see if they are willing to be a Hibs pub for the day and get back here with the answer if folk want that? :aok:

Was there not a big club hibs fans were booked into a few years ago, I think I remember a mate saying he was on a coach that stopped and dropped them off, he cant remember the name of it, he was drunk and is old 🤣

The away pubs near the ground are the Bridge, The Manchester and the Castle for league games.

The Manchester would be alright if it was full of hibbys right enough.

Aye, i organised that, but it's closed down now like a lot of working mens clubs have.

Yip, i was thinking the Bridge, they have a decent sized back room if my memory is correct, and wouldnt have as many nutters in as the Manchester and Castle.

Blackpool away is a very strange fixture to arrange as tightly sandwiched between 2 European games means genuine 1st team players won't be risked and shouldn't even have to travel for such meaningless tosh.

I guess it does give a game to the real duffers, injury specialists and the "promising youngsters" so there is that aspect but its not much of spectacle for traveling supporters watching a glorified development team.

Another Northern English dump of a town as well in a poverty stricken region of so many to choose from.

LJ already put his hands up and took it on the chin for treating last season's early games as preseason friendlies, this helps avoid that.

Preferred first XI play the European tie, others get a chance in the Blackpool game. No need to be chopping and changing line ups for important European games just because players need game time.

[SHODAN]

Is the Watford friendly happening or are we waiting on what happens in Europe?

[JamesHFC]

Their new manager doesn't want any trips away this summer apparently, I'd imagine we will still play them at some point though if it's contractually obliged.

Season ticket holders are promised entry to at least one home pre season match so I expect the opposition for that will be announced shortly.

That was brilliant BH.......I'm assuming you're talking about Stanley Road WMC ? Are there no other clubs near the ground that we could use?

I dont think so matey, i had tentative discussions this afternoon with a pub who will have all the songs we want played, and a bit of karaoke too.:greengrin

It's limited to a couple of hundred though, but it would be good.

Nah. You have the option of a vigorous game of badminton and a shower or 90 minutes of Yoga and a protein bar.
