The yams rarely settle their debts, so Rod would demand cash up front.

Another non story, move along now, it only comes into play IF they make the group stages, and that's not going to happen

[Phil D. Rolls]

I don't think the article says the PBS is not suitable, it merely suggests that it is no less suitable than other grounds. \Move along no war story here.

Thought they could play the preliminary round tehre but if they get to teh group stages then they will have to play elsewhere.

So it wont be an issue then

[lapsedhibee]

Pathetic the excuses that Johnny Foreigner finds to avoid breathing in a few kilos of asbestos dust.

[Vini1875]

How stupid is that? Surely it is either suitable or not. If they can play preliminary games there, how can that be any different from group matches? The burecrats that run football are a joke. Then again if its in The Sun the entire story may be keek.

If it hadn't been for the Yams they'd all be speaking German. This is how they repay them, it's enough to make some people think Hitler was right.

I'm not sure what's more embarrassing - a team that qualifies for Europe without having a ground fit for purpose, or a team who have a ground fit for purpose but whose only connection with European football these days is a geographical one.

I'll maybe see the funny side of the 'joke' when Hibs have a team capable of competing in Europe for more than a few minutes.

[Baader]

Sure their admirers at City of Edinburgh Council are working on something to help them out as usual...

Hibs don't have a team fit for purpose, Hearts have a shabby stadium but a team and fanbase with European football to look forward to.

I know whose predicament I consider to be more embarrasing, and it ain't theirs.

I would NEVER find the Hibernian condition more embarrassing than a state of Yammery. Never. Perhaps we should wait until the transfer window closes before dismissing our team as not being fit for purpose and bigging them up.

Last Hearts Euro adventure lasted 60 minutes and they were 4 down and out.

We got to the 2nd leg at least.

Careful Doddie, you will start to be perceived as negative and naive by some on here with that attitude.....

Indeed, but loathsome though it is to state, their European excusrsions over the past 10 years have - on average - been rather longer lived and more successful than ours.

In terms of club finances, infrastructure and conduct off the field, Hibs are streets ahead of Hearts, but when it comes to the business end of things, out on the pitch, they are in far better shape.

Here's hoping for the transfer window we all know that this club needs.

[Keith_M]

I'm presuming that the ruling is regarding the size of their pitch. Funny how it never seems to be applied to the bigger names in football.

Take these, for instance:

Chelsea: 110yds x 75yds
Liverpool: 110yds x 75yds.
Spurs: 110yds x 73yds

Thats the nub right there. They are ahead of us on the pitch (last season) and two times out of three, lately, they finished above us. But the thing is it is all built on sand. They are entirely unsustainable in any normal environment but, despite losing money hand over fist and being subsided by the savings of the Lithuanian public who probably have no idea, they keep frecking going.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

This will be a tough one for them because wherever they play, the ground will be full of Yams and that is the real reason the PBS is unsuitable. Looks like a closed-door job is the only way oot.

I don't think its the just the pitch dimensions that count, it's all the surrounds too, run off areas behinds the goals and at the dugouts.

Thats why when the East was built they moved the pitch over a bit and our Stadium became compliant with all EUFA & FIFA approved matches. Technically our stadium could host the Champions league final, it never would of course because its too small but it meets all the criteria.

It would need to be a UEFA five star rated stadium before it could do that, there's a load of rules around transport and parking as well as the pitch itself that come into play.

IIRC, even the Bernabeau doesn't meet the requirements, and won't be able to hold a Champions League final.

Just wait until the trams are up and running. A spur to Easter Road and Barcelona v Real Madrid in the final at ER. Do season ticket holders get first dibs?
