BTG tickets bought now too, I’m day off so a few beers will be good.😀
Bought our ST seats on Tuesday just after email came through.
Also looking forward the 150 exhibition but from what I can make out, tickets not available until 20 May for 25/26 ST holders.
My mother wouldn’t let me go to the first game -said the crowd would be too big. She’s no longer around to ask about this one so I might risk it.
That's brilliant, love itQuote:

Edit: Just checked and it's €24.75 for away fans so about £6-7 more.

Essen tickets went on resale to members today & supposedly 3 sections of the south lower are already sold out. Looking like a great following coming from Germany.

Blimey. What's their standing in German football these days? My brother and I were over at the friendly to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the European Cup game 20 years ago and my memory is that they were a club which had fallen a long way from more illustrious times.Quote:

Wow, that's an incredible effort by them for a friendly. Lets hope it is just that with Hibs and RWE fans mingling together pre and post match. We are after all forever united as European pioneers.Quote:

Only East and West open for home fans.Quote:

For now, though, Gray says his players deserve a well-earned rest following a remarkable campaign.
"When we come back depends on what that first European game looks like, because there's a difference between going into the qualifiers compared to the final play-off game," said the Hibs head coach. "I think there's a difference in the middle of July, the actual first competitive game [if Aberdeen win the cup].
How ironic! I remember we qualified for the 50th year anniversary and I am sure we played them away in 50.Quote:

Is the whole stadium open for this game? Think I saw mention of only 2/3 stands being used but might be wrong.
In light of the fact we may not be generating as much income from Europe as we'd hoped, this would be a good game to try to shift a lot of tickets for. With so many German fans apparently attending it would be good to try to create a bit of a European-tie atmosphere - and while Essen aren't the force they once were it's potentially quite useful for the players to come up against a different type of opponent ahead of the Europa ties. Wonder if SDG will be looking to use it more in that way now, rather than just a kind of ceremonial friendly.
Famous Five aint open!Quote:

From Essen one is already looking forward to this highlight!

Who has a tip for a pub after the game? And please let the city know that the beer stock needs to be increased

With it being a 7pm kick-off, I'd suggest a before game bar as Robbie's on Leith Walk. If the sun is shining, perhaps The Boundary Bar just a little further up Leith Walk as that has seating outside I think (Robbie's dos not but if the pub is packed they do allow an overspill to the street)Quote:

All pubs will be open post game but it's a wednesday so most will close around 11pm. I'm sure the younger crew could tell you where to head for late night nonsense.
This commemorative coin looks a pretty nice item.

They’ll open it if they need to. History would suggest they won’t and we’ll get nowhere near 16,000 for a Wednesday night game in close season against third tier German opposition. 10,000 would be decent if 2,000+ German fans whets the appetite for some. Another signing or two would also help.Quote:

Our support is up since then and the away crowd will be better, but there’s still surely no way we come close to selling out a friendly. The club have recognised that by not opening one stand, and in the unlikely case that changes, they can simply elect to open it up.Quote:

Just purchased ours today, poor tickets sales so far, hopefully more up take nearer the time.
There is zero chance this will be even close to a sell out. Do well to get 12000 and thats only coz they are bringing a load over.Quote:

Think it was Clyde and next year when people were fretting about crowds of about 5/6k. It'll pick up to something respectable, but ultimately it's a friendly just like testimonials for even the greats would be naturally capped at a certain level.
You don't think this will be well attended? I'm quite surprised to be honest. It's the showpiece game of our 150th anniversary celebrations is it not? And I wondered if Gray might be using it as preparation for our European ties. I know Essen aren't a top side by any means but their fans seem to be coming over in very large numbers and it would be a bit disappointing if there's only a sparse Hibs turnout. I got my tickets early thinking it would be a bit of a crowd puller.Quote:

With RWE bringing over 2000 fans or so. You’ll get a good atmosphere at least.Quote:

Fair enough. I'd actually forgotten about Daz's testimonial. I'd just thought that the commemorative nature of the Essen game might have carried a bit of clout as well as being a first chance to welcome the players back on to the pitch at ER.Quote:

Will I be going to the game? - 100% yes and look forward to it
Have I bought my ticket yet? - No
First time ive loaded a file on here, was a bit clumsy. Hope it works. A prize possession from our first meeting

Shame that the tournament wasn't played a couple of years earlier with Hibs at their peak. The Lisbon Lions would have been in our shadow.Quote:

Cost of the programme equivalent to around 50p today?
It’s no wonder folk were able to amass quite sizable programme collections back in the day!
The DM testimonial I can understand. But, the Rot Weiss Essen game is one of our 150 year celebration games, to also celebrate the first European Cup game by a British side.Quote:

As for the super uptake by the RWE fans. I doubt the excitement of seeing the mighty Hibees in action is the main attraction, whereas the chance for a fanbase who don't get many trips to Europe to visit one of Europe's more attractive cities and have a bit of a jolly at the same time most definitely will be :greengrin
I wasn't going to this game but with the unveiling of the Stanton stand taking place before the game, it's now a no brainer to attend.
