    I was just about to post this.

    I think, from a football point of view, it would really be an interesting idea. Unfortunately, there are elements in both of our supports that could make this rather an unsavoury experience.

    What happens if the UVF branch of the Hearts supporters club and the Hibs Ned element were to both turn up for this? It could be a recipe for mayhem.

    Surely you'll have other things on mind next summer?
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

    That happens everytime we play them anyway so what difference would it make?

    It's bad enough when it's in Edinburgh but the harm to the clubs' reputation isn't something I think is worth it.

    Plus, putting the UVF leaning element of the Hearts support in Ireland and the Wee Neds with less policing than an Edinburgh derby and that surely is a recipe for even more trouble than normal.

    I'm not saying this would be the absolute definite result but it does worry me that it could happen. I personally think that the fun element that the Hibs support had in going over to Ireland recently could be removed.

    At one time this would have been a great idea. A tour to Ireland and a bit of banter with the fans of Troubled Hearts.

    As it stands, we are so far apart and the animosoty is so great that it might end in tears. Best to avoid it IMO.

    Does Yogi not have contacts in Holland? I think a pre-season tour over there would be magic.

    Whats wrong with having a few fixtures aginsts Irish and English teams?

    Stay well clear of getting Johnny Jambo involved.

    I can see running aggro up and down Temple Bar.

    Yeh very true. Don't think it would be good thing. A certain element of our support are bad enough when we go down south to play. So going to Ireland with Hearts would be 10 times worse.

    Because of the East stand redevelopment, I think all pre-season games will be away from ER. So anywhere sunny and cheap would do me.

    A pre-season tournament in the Costa Del Sol would do just fine...

    Not a bad idea. Some good competitive games and the prospect of beating those yams in the final .

    I'd be comfortable enough playing a tournament in Ireland with Hearts taking part, but I wouldn't fancy the same tournament in Northern Ireland. These good people are trying to put 'The Troubles' behind them. I'm sure the vast majority of fans of both clubs would be well enough behaved, but both clubs have a nasty element and the last thing Belfast needs is gangs of imported bigots rampaging round the streets.

    Pre season in Holland would be good,since Yogi and Rice travel regularly to Holland,it would be ideal and not expensive for travelling fans,the beers cheap enough and the flights are cheap,oh aye it would save me a few boab on travelling.

    How about a poll?

    Sounds great, but probably a better idea if hearts stayed at home.

    Dinnae really fancy lots of hibs and hearts in dublin at the same time.

    Quite fancy a pre-season in Holland

    I think some friendlies against EPL teams would be better preparation for our participation in the Champions League.

    Might have been a good idea in 1955

    It would almost inevitably kick off

    Sounds good, we could maybe do a bit of scouting while we're there as well and identify some potential signings for the Jambos, since they love signing players from holiday resorts. There must be more Susos out there somewhere!

    what about the fact we may well be playing in the early enumer of the Europa cup? Now there is a game worth taking seriously.

    Yes. I know a very good Tapas bar. The waiter service is first class, the way they weave in and out of the tables, at speed, is reminiscent of Juanjo.
