Away friendly at either of the Sheffield clubs, Forest, Derby, Mansfield or of course my new home Chesterfield. Most welcome. Get it sorted Ben tgeres a good lad ;)

My cousins live in Mansfield. Be great to see them but a horrendous journey from Edinburgh.

Lincoln or Boston away would suit me. Father in law is in Lincolnshire so a bed for the night for me and plenty good pubs in and around both places.

I'm seriously considering going down near Great Yarmouth for a week long caravan holiday park. Worth it Jim?

Don't know about Great Yarmouth but have relatives in Norfolk and very nice. Loads of lovely villages with decent pubs

What's the Celtic game the day before this? I can't seem to find it listed?

No idea mate but how can we not get a decent friendly down south or abroad. Norwich at home... Hud me back.

Minimum 2 changes on the train.

**Tambo** · 19-05-2022 09:45 AM

A Saturday 3pm English opponent would be great.

With Scotty Brown & Whitty being there, wouldn’t be surprised. I could walk to the game😁

Its only 5 hours! Hardly horrendous. I went to Edinburgh and back in the same day yesterday and I live in Worcester!

Mate of mine has pointed out that we could be playing in the league cup the same day/weekend as the Norwich game

Its a james hunt of a drive or you're relying on 2 x train connections being on time. Not the easiest of journeys. The fact that Edinburgh or Glasgow has no direct rail services to that part of the Midlands is poor imo.

Never mind Glasgow & Edinburgh, I was looking at trains from Manchester to Mansfield in preparation for Bolton (possibly) going there next season. Quickest route is 2 hours 53 minutes with two changes (Sheffield & Worksop)!

Manchester to Nottingham and change there for Mansfield

It was the under-18s. Imagine it might be a bit of an older team this time around though. Be boys coming back from injury too perhaps who might need the gametime.

***HH81*** · 19-05-2022 10:56 AM

Mon Hibs announce Huddersfield away. 😁

We won’t be. The Norwich game will have been announced after we’d agreed with the SPFL that the weekend of the 23rd will be our free matchday in the league cup. We’ll play the 2 weekends and 2 midweeks before it in the cup.

No reason why we can’t get a game down south on the 2nd/6th July, we did that the last time and played Carlisle

I'd rather not go back there, there was some aggro last time and a hibby took a right doing on the way back from the ground, there was also running battles botcher gate post match.

Think we played in 2010 down there and there was some aggro then.
