Here's what the Villa faithful have been saying on social media.

..

Phil K: "Big goal for Hibs there, may well be the difference maker."

Jonathan Ridgway: "Hibs win 3-1 in the first leg. One step closer to McGinn facing his old club."

Dalian McGuffie: "Hibs it is then!"

Matt: "Commanding lead for Hibs going into the away leg. Looks like we're in store for a battle of Britain later this month."

Rustle Lee: "McGinn derby, here we go!"

Neil: "Think it would definitely be better for AVFC to play Hibs rather than Luzern. The Luzern players look like they’re intentionally trying to hurt the Hibs players. Could definitely do without that."

Adz: "Nothing against Luzern but we all want the McGinn derby don't we?"

All due respect, but who cares what they have to say? Deep down they all think Scottish football is **** and 'their nan' could do a job up here.

Sick of hearing it from them. Can't wait til we pap them out then win the whole thing.

Correct 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏻

Ach. Should we get through and play them it would be the biggest shock in British football history if we were to put them out. We rightly moan about the disparity in resources and quality of player the Uglies ( especially Celtic ) have over us. What Aston Villa have is simply another level, maybe two levels, above that. I know it was just pre season, but we barely got a kick of the ball against Bournemouth, ok admittedly with a far different team than played tonight, but even so Villa are a better team than Bournemouth by some way.

Don't get me wrong, if it happens wild horses wouldn't keep me away from that game, but the object will simply be to enjoy the night, pray we don't get embarrassed and show the Villa fans what a fantastic atmosphere the fans of this club can create.

Let's just get through to the next round and beat them. Then see if they're still nice about us after.

Actually, who cares what I said before ... THIS ..... ABSOLUTELY THIS :agree:

If I were a Villa fan I wouldn't be booking anything other than hotels in both Edinburgh and Switzerland with free cancellation because we all know this tie is nowhere near over. 3-1 looks good on paper but it can all change very quickly on the night. We need to nick a goal over there and I think Vente will get us one. Still all to play for.

The Villa ticket information is already up for their home game.

They state that attendance at this game may play a part in eligibility for tickets in later rounds (arrogant or good forward planning?). I think they will have a healthy crowd and we'll be given the usual away allocation of approx. 3000.

I got a pretty swanky looking private apartment for £60 with free cancellation until the 30th.

I have a feeling I have been totally catfished as the pictures suggest something a bit higher end than £60 but I doubt I'll spend much time there anyway.

Yes, if we both go through then one if us have to switch and I think its us that have to compromise as we finished below them in the league.

Saying that, we did the same for game v Inter

But we also stated that the game could be switched. Villa haven’t said anything like that.

What a tie villa will be for the fans and players, if we can hold on next Thursday.

Hope there's not an ice hockey game on the same night 😁

Would assume it will be on TNT sports.

Ever since the potential draw was made I've been thinking that if we play them a massive display in FF is needed, like the idea of playing on the Scotland vs England having banners saying: "And sent them homeward,
Tae think again." :flag:

Could it be that the away leg would stay the same but home leg could be changed to the Wednesday?

Booked in for the Hampton by Hilton for the Thursday night. Insanely cheap and looks like direct routes the the city centre and Stadium. Over to Hibs to do the damage next Thursday!

Something like 'Welcome to the capital' 😊

"Give us SJM back"

What's the chances of it being swapped if hibs and Hearts go through, can't seem to see anything concrete. Know dozens that have booked hotels the 31st. Think all refundable though

Stop poncing about you lot.

"Bannockburn the sequel" for the display.

Followed by the old Mary Hopkin ditty " we ****** hate England."

We mustn't get ahead of ourselves. We are aboard the Hibs rollercoaster, remember. Anything could happen in Switzerland; prepare to have your emotions tested.

On the other hand, of course we can beat Aston Villa :greengrin

Did you even read the quotes directly above your reply?

The clash was discussed at length on another thread. From what I can remember those in the know were suggesting that it was the Hearts tie that would be swapped round so they would play away first and we would keep the same fixture schedule of home game first and Villa Park second.

As per the uefa website:

Any changes of date and fixture reversals will be communicated in writing to the clubs and national associations by 18:00 CET on 8 August.

https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/draws/

So surely it should have been communicated already if it's getting switched?

Hi all friendly Villa fan here. We'll give you guys 2500 to 2800 tickets which is the normal allocation looking at the ticket map. Villa currently have 30000 Season Tickets and then 20-30000 members who have second priority. There won't be any tickets free to buy in the home end on general sale as is normal currently the team sells out pretty much every home game hence planned stadium extension to 50/55k. Hope we draw you guys and any questions regarding the game or area feel free to ask.

Hello mate, and welcome aboard. We aren't through yet, but fingers crossed we meet in the next round. Should it happen, it's unthinkable (to me at least) that we would beat Villa over two legs, but it would be a terrific occasion.

All the best for the season. A few posters on here follow Villa as their English team.

We lost in 09/10 and 10/11 both times to Rapid Vienna on away goals so stranger things have happened. I would say Villa have a better manager this time though 😄

Think yous will only get around 1000 which is the 5%. Hotels will be a nightmare for yous as festival on. 6 hours or so by supporters bus isn't too bad in English terms I suppose though.

Think thousands more will travel down than can get tickets so boozers will be needed. It's hibs though so you might get Swiss visitors.

Many hibs fans with villa soft spot due to Super. Few others previously Des Dremner, Alex Cropley, De La Cruz, Burridge, Agatha, Holt, Willie Hamilton, Willie Groves villa made the first £100 player

Villa would likely get the full Dunbar end, 3800 tickets. Its a minimum of 5%, not maximum.

Why would it be silly? We’d sell that extra allocation for a game vs Villa to our own supporters no bother. I’m happy enough to lose a few rows of seating to segregation if it means more of our fans get a ticket.

Once we consistently sell out home and away for a season or more (which we wont), then we will be in a position to start cutting allocations.

I'd be splitting the Dunbar down the middle...

Yes I assume we won't get a massive allocation but likewise several thousand fans will travel anyway. They've made it quite stringent to get tickets for this game but assume if in theory 6-8k were offered they would be sold out fairly easily.

I remember de la cruz well and Agathe only made maybe 5 appearances after MON signed him after he was released from Celtic.

In terms of pubs the city centre has the most around I'd personally recommend Jewellery Quarter if you are staying in the centre. Sutton Coldfield is a nicer area on the side of city Villa Park is located. The area around the ground is quite diverse and not many locals drink round there so they wouldn't be many pubs matchday.

Totally agree, think we'd comfortably sell 18k+ at ER

If the 2.8k away tickets for villa park is correct (6% so pretty much the minimum) - then I'd be looking to come to a % arrangement with villa, ie they can get 10% at ER, we get 10% down there

They dinny come back though. They turn up or villa, we likely take a pounding then they scream some abuse and disappear again, I'd rather they stayed away.

Villa away (if it happens) will be absolute carnage ticket wise. Going to be a lot of arguing and bickering.

If the Dunbar was split down the middle surely we wouldn't need a huge no man's land as if we were playing the Huns? Just 3 or 4 rows vertically.
I'd imagine they'd be a decent jovial spirit between two sets of fans with no beef between us.
18K Hibbies and 2K Villa sounds about right.
