Is the Villa game on TV?

[Steve-O]

Any word yet about if / where this will be on? Surely it will be.

[Winston Ingram]

Not yet no

[Moulin Yarns]

Hope for an announcement today after most of the tickets are sold.

[Trinity Hibee]

Guess Hibs could make a killing by selling on PPV

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Don't think the 5:45 kick off is doing us any favours.
Can't see bbc Scotland being that interested unfortunately

What are you? Nuts. Not interested in a game featuring 2 British sides in a major European competition?

[Winston Ingram]

It'll definitely be on TV. Apparently it's between TNT and BBC.

Absolutely no chance this will be PPV

Timing wise is poor and it's a fixture where the general perception is that it will be a non event. General chat where I live with fans of Rangers Celtic, St.Mirren and Morton fans is that we will be gubbed and it will be embarrassing. Whereas all think Hearts have a chance to carry the flag for scotland. The guys I know and work with would like to see that tie more.
Just saying what I've heard

Surely nobody would rather watch Hearts v PAOK rather than Hibs v Villa? Other than Hearts fans of course

The first legs are on separate days. Can they not show both?

Also the Hibs match would have UK interest rather than purely Scottish interest so would likely have higher viewing figures.

There’s no chance BBC Scotland could afford it, if it’s picked up BBC itwill be uk wide

No, there's a big audience down here for the game as well, if only us Villa fans and the many local rivals that hate us and watch every minute of our matches, that's about 3m people alone, before the general interest in any 'Battle of Britain'

[147lothian]

A lot of people south of the border watch football and would be happy to see us get stuffed in a Battle of Britain, also virtually every football fan in Scotland would want to watch it, most of whom would be rooting for us, there is a massive TV audience for this game.

Most of the midland clubs would be wanting a Hibs win. Quite a few in England would also find it funny so would be cheering us on.

Good friend of mine is a Coventry City fan from birth and had a Hibs ST for seven or eight years while living in in Edinburgh. Villa are Cov's most hated rival (although the reverse isn't true) – I think the only only person more up for the game than him is Joe Newell.

Always a strange rivalry the Coventry one. I think we started being rivals due to the fact all the other Midlands clubs were outside the Prem bar Villa and Coventry for a long time. After Birmingham and West Brom came back the Cov rivalry was forgotten about on our part but not there's. I still hear them sing about Villa on TV while i've never heard about us sing about Coventry. The funny one is Wolves Villa who the media would have you believe is a big rivalry for viewing figures but no-one really cares about that from either side.

Jasper Carrot has said he wouldn't miss it for the world, now that he realised he's a died-in-the-wool, lifelong Hibs Fan (which apparently only occurred to him after we qualified last week ;-) )

Yeah I guess with so many teams around Birmingham there's a bit of a web of rivalries. Who is Wolves' number one rival? Blues? I remember being in West Bromwich years ago and the graffiti suggested they were none too keen on Wolves, but I don't know how much it goes the other way.

Wolves biggest rival is West Brom and vice versa. Villa West Brom used to be the biggest rivalry mainly due to the fact they are technically the closest teams together and were the most successful for a while. The Rivalry isn't what it was West Brom probably dislike villa a bit more than Vice Versa. Villa and Blues generally hate each other and I'd say its the most fierce rivalry in England for 2 teams in the same city.

Just to confuse the issue further Blues and Wolves also have a rivalry so it's all generally confusing!
