newhavenhibby Posted August 21, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 3 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Can't play Thursday because Hearts and Hibs aren't able to play at the same time as they don't always get on very well. Can't play later on Wednesday as no global events are allowed to overlap with the Champions League ever. More to do with the amount of policing required with both Greek and Villa fans in town along with Hibs and Hearts ........plus add the fringe idiots in and they are stretched. Hibs and Hearts both played at home yesterday at the same time with no trouble to speak of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Will the fringe being on mean it's about £500 for a hotel room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very nice touch. Aye John.......was fortunate to see him play in both the green of Hibs and claret and blue of Villa. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier Inn in Newhaven ( north east edinburgh) is under £200 for the Wednesday night at present. Can then get either the number 11 bus or the tram to the game..........take about 30- 40 minutes including the walk to the ground. ( I'll be on the bus ) Edited August 21, 2023 by newhavenhibby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I’m actually bricking it over this game: we should piss it but there’s always the usual doubt of being a Villa fan (hi Stevenage). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I don’t want this to sound like a negative comment but I really hope we play Emi in goal for this one. I don’t think Olsen is as bad as most make out but we need a steady pair of hands and a commanding lead from the first leg. Will be great to see SJM lead the team out at his old home. A proper triumphant return for him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, whilst checking the ground out on Google Maps I did find this view, looks like it won’t get too busy up there, free to get in and you can drink whilst watching the game! Might need some new binoculars though Not your seat though, it's Arthur's 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless, get into the competition proper then rotate where necessary why play a team that has never been on the pitch together before it makes no sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceemo Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Spanish ref for the game: Ricardo De Burgos. Has done Barcelona vs Real Madrid a couple of times but it perhaps more well known here for sending off Vinicius Junior in the away game at Valencia last season, shortly after Vinicius Junior complained of getting racist abuse from the Valencia fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that the Scottish national side is quite dependent on McGinn, this tells it all about Lennon. What a crumpet. Going out to hurt people is so 1999. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
