Hibs in Holland (merged)

[Calvin]

It was mentioned on the PM board that we were playing Heracles, couldn't see it on the main forum so thought I'd post it.

Good news is that you can get the train straight from Schiphol to Almelo in just under two hours. From the article though, it seems like we're playing it in Tubbergen, just outside Almelo, and when you look for TVC on Google Maps, it looks like a couple of training fields.

I'm sure all will be revealed through the official channels in due course, but I quite fancy this!

How much would a flight to Holland cost? Sounds like a nice wee day trip, trains in Holland are dirt cheap, but it clashes with the Open, and I may just be doing a bit of hospitality work then. Hopefully they can shift the date to the next week as i'd be up for that depending on price.

Bit of a bizarre game if you ask me

[greenlex]

Who are we signing or selling to fom or to them?

I believe Basta*rdair.ie fly from Prestwick to Bremen, and a train goes direct to Almelo from Bremen. Alternatively ********air also run a bus to Groningen and I'd imagine it would be easy to get overland from there.

This site is invaluable for planning public transport use in Holland:

There is an English option, but to make the most of it try persevering with the Dutch one, as it has more options.

Friday night
Couple days after the Qos game? Very strange one if true?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Heracles looks like an shortened version of Hearts debacles. Lets get stuck into them.

if true ill be there. be glad to help anyone when confirmed

it will take forever to get from groningen to almelo

best bet is eayjet to amsterdam or a flight to eindhoven or rotterdam

it is half way between rotterdam and eindhoven and about 1 hour thirty from schipol on train

amsterdam flights usually cheaper

alternative if group . get ferry to ijmuiden from newcastle and get bus to amsterdam and train from there prob about 2 and half hours

Cheers mate, it was hard to tell from the map, hour and a half from Schiphol doesn't seem too bad. Ferry not working out much cheaper than Easyjet at the moment.

I've got my work cut out. I've waited years for Hibs to play in Holland (or whatever province it's in). Now money is v. tight, but I'll give it a good go.

[seanraff07]

Seems a bit of a strange one, does anyone know if we'll have any more games over in Holland?

9 games in less than a month, with two of them being in the Euro qualifiers, now that's a busy schedule.

[LancashireHibby]

Certainly leaving no stone unturned in terms of being match fit for the Euro games in case we draw a Scandinavian side, I suppose.

[MacBean]

may try to get over for the Vitesse game

[CB_NO3]

Am gutted by this. Any other year I would be delighted with this trip but because we are in Europe I cant afford both so I am holding out for the Europa League draw.

I wish we were not in Europe now as the trip to Holland will probably be better.

[RCNG]

I was just on the website, saw an article that we will play Den Haag and 2 other Dutch teams including Hercles, just went back to get the link and the article is gone!

[Frazerbob]

Why did my mate decide to get married (and have his stag weekend) in July? Between that and the Europa Cup trip I'll have to pass on this brilliant wee jaunt.

I'm not based in the Netherlands but I've just checked a map which states that Almelo (where Heracles are from) is just over 90 miles from Amsterdam, The Hague (where Den Haag are from) is about 40 miles from Amsterdam and Arnhem (where Vitesse Arnhem are from) is about 65 miles from Amsterdam.

Hope that helps a bit.
