Nice ones for McKirdy and Doyle-Hayes to be playing us, Harry's had a heart issue so not sure he'll play, JDH not involved tonight.

Just realised Lee Johnson is their manager...didn't he have a weird issue with us celebrating goals when we beat his Bristol team 5-0. That will be amusing little side show.

Will be 40k and a proper big game feel at VP so will get us into a decent mindset already early into the season.

Should really have put this to bed, they've done everything but score. Getting soaked in Tallaght here so I'm hoping for a win to make it worth the while!

And penalties it is! Come on Derry.

Are we going to give Hibs extra allocation for the VP leg or we gonna have to endure that rat Johnson crying about it being 'unfair' again cos we got more fans. 

the minimum requirement is 5% of the stadium capacity and i'll be disappointed if we give them more.

Well that's a surprise but Villa it is then . Unfortunately it has been moved to the Wednesday at 5.45 as it clashes with Hearts playing at home on the Thursday night.

For Villa if you are travelling...........................

Plane to Edinburgh airport...........tram to the centre or the 100 city link bus.

Driving...............can park at the bottom of Easter Road in the Tesco car park. ( 5 -10 minute walk to the ground )

Train.............Waverley station is located at the bottom end of Prince's Street. ( Balmoral Hotel / Scott Monument end)

 

Getting to the stadium from the centre..............

Walk............from the bottom of Prince's Street ( Scott monument / Waverley steps / Balmoral Hotel end) , follow the road round by the side of John Lewis, cross over passed the giraffes! and then turn right down London Road.  3/4 mile walk brings you to a set of lights at the top end of Easter Road.  400 yds down on the right turn right at the lights on Albion Road . The ground is straight ahead of you. 

Away fans are in the South Stand which as you walk towards the ground is to your right, so follow the road round to the right as opposed to walking up to the ground itself. This is the only area to access the away section.

Bus...........Opposite the Scott Monument / Balmoral Hotel you can catch the Lothian bus ( maroon coloured buses} number 1.......this goes down Easter Road.

Tram.........Towards Newhaven...... Get off on Balfour Street. Walk down the road facing you as exit the tram. Follow that road and eventually brings you to Easter Road.

Car..............see above

 

Boozers..................in town plenty to choose from. Not all will let football colours in. Best street is Rose Street which is the small street one up from Princess Street but packed with pubs and atmosphere. Few down Easter Road but probably the best for you is Middletons at the top end of Easter Road. 

Programmes............Hibernian FC don't do an official matchday programme anymore. A group of supporters produce their own but have limited selling points. On matchday the only place available to away fans is the Programme Shop which is on the left after you have turned in to Albion Road off Easter Road. ( he will have loads of old Villa games in there if you are a collector) . You can contact the Facebook page........The Hibernian Match Programme by Stephen Young........for more details and possibly posting one to you. I don't know what sort of production run they will have but suspect they will increase it for this game.

Just past this shop is a pizza slice outlet that is much better value than anything you can buy in the ground so fuel up there if you are peckish!

Security is usually tight and therefore slow as the Police etc check for flares etc so don't leave it to the last minute to get to the ground.

 

Shame Hibs have been short sighted and not given the whole of the South stand to Villa ( 3200 ish) and wonder with the kick off time whether this might backfire on them??  Anyway am looking forward to the game although will have to watch through clenched fingers and hope we can at least keep the score to a reasonable level!!

Safe travels.

Do we know if the 1st leg will be on tv?

Should find out in the next couple of days. The TV rights for the Conference League are not centralised at this stage, so it could be on any channel. I'd imagine TNT will go for it.

Fiorentina losing to Vienna at half time.

Do teams come out of the Europa League and drop into the Conference league?

I believe they do

Looking at the teams barring ajax  the rest are not teams to really fear

Fear no but going to Qarabag or Sheriff on a Thursday night is not ideal

Yes. (And the the 3rd place teams in the Group stage play the runners up of the Conference League groups in the knockouts, but lets leave that discussion until December...)

A few surprises so far - Lille losing at home currently, Fiorentina losing in Vienna, and Partizan Belgrade were hammered 5-0 by Nordsjaelland.

I think this competition might be a bit mental this year
