Outwith the usual local friendlies I'd like to see Hibs get a few games down south this summer. With Hecky now manager it could be a possibility with his background down south. I'd also like to see us play Villa so we can give McGinn a good reception. I know our schedule depends on whether we are in Europe and also with the League Cup but hopefully we can fit one or two in.
Who would you like to see us play?

I'd love us to play Berwick Rangers, preferably away.
On a more serious note someone like Preston or Blackpool would be a decent trip

It will be Berwick and Dunfermline away. I'd like to see us go somewhere else for a chance to give some non-Edinburgh fans a local game - Stenhousemuir perhaps?

we should have a home and away tie with Preston North End....we could title the event the world club championship final, as present world champions we would get Home advantage in the 2nd leg

Sadly I can't see there being anything arranged for down South due to crowd issues over recent years i.e. Bolton, Port Vale, etc.
Would really like to have seen us play Villa away for SJM sentiment, or a decent long weekend away i.e. Brighton or Bournemouth.

Other than Shrewsbury when was the last time we had a visit down south (excluding Berwick Rangers)? Blackpool or Bolton about 10 year ago probably?
Days of pre-season tours and trips away are gone unfortunately. If we're in the europa the early rounds of that take care of pre-season, if we are not then the group stage of the league cup takes care of it. Shame as trips to Germany, Ireland, France, Belgium etc have been superb in the past.

A trip to Yorkshire would be good. Loads of teams to play, some great places for a few beers and a good couple of days away and it's easy to get to by various modes of transport.

How about an all green tour? - eg. Yeovil, Plymouth and Norwich, with a wee foray north to Buckie if there's time.

If Villa get promoted then 100% SJM will still be there. If they don't I'd still say 80+%. You have to remember, Villa are a huge club, far bigger than many currently in top flight & their fans would go berserk if they sold SJM. The more rational point is, even if they sold SJM for say over £20m, who could they replace him with for that money?

I read something at the weekend that the PSG owners are looking at buying an English club and Villa were name-dropped.

in July 2001 Hibs played 4 friendlies in Brittany (including a weird one against Marseille which we won 2-1). I didn't live here at the time but was well annoyed that I was across for a week in July then again in August but not at the same time as Hibs.
A similar wee tour would do me fine.

If we dont make the top 4 our pre-season maybe made up of mostly league cup games

Malta Hibernians would be great , beautiful place and cheapish flights. This and Aston Villa Home or Away would be ideal.
