tartofmidlothian Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Just noticed on Facebook that Hibs have announced a pre-season friendly with Edinburgh City at Meadowbank, I'd be right there if we did the same. Someone on another thread mentioned the possibility of Newcastle away and Fleetwood at home, could be interesting. Anyone heard anything else?

It will give them some much needed match practice in advance of the new Challenge Cup format. Note that CSS have just been admitted to the Lowland League.

portobellojambo1 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 http://www.fairydeanrovers.co.uk/club/274524/News/view/917302 25 June, 3pm k.o., at Netherdale, on their 3G pitch. I'd expect Hearts to field an U20 or other young side. Just going by one or two things Robbie said about the pre season plans up at St Andrews I took from that, rightly or wrongly, that the squad will play a couple of closed door games while there. But the only friendlies would involve the U20 squad and the first team pool would go straight from training to the first of the qualifying games on 30 June. Suppose it is possible that if we go out of the Europa League early doors they may then have an opportunity to arrange a friendly before the league campaign kicks off for the new season.

...a bit disco Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Robbie in the EEN. EUROPEAN commitments are forcing Hearts to put pre-season plans on hold, head coach Robbie Neilson revealed today. The club are unable to arrange proper friendlies due to their involvement in the Europa League qualifiers, which start at the end of the month. Neilson would much prefer an extended run in Europe over the prospect of not being involved at that level. He explained that means organising summer matches becomes impossible. Hearts enter the Europa League first qualifying round on June 30, with the second leg the following week on July 7. The second qualifying round takes place on July 14 and 21, and the third on July 28 and August 4. The play-off round for the group stage is then due on August 18 and 25. The possibility of a hectic schedule means Neilson and his coaching staff cannot plan any further than the first qualifying round for now. Hearts report for pre-season training next Wednesday, June 15, and will spend a week training in St Andrews from June 19 to prepare for their Europa League adventure. ?Because of the European game, it?s quite difficult organising pre-season,? said Neilson. ?We have a couple of closed-door games later this month but then we?ll just be taking games as they come along. It all depends how we do in Europe. ?We can?t really commit to many games in case we have European ties on a Thursday night. As pre-season progresses, we?ll assess where we are. We?ve had loads of requests from teams wanting to play us. As the pre-season progresses, we?ll decide whether it?s a big game we go for or a slightly lesser one. It will depend what squad the other team has got.? http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/hearts-forced-to-put-pre-season-plans-on-hold-1-4149691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a great idea, but I'm sure the Strathclyde Football Association would have a rule that if it was not played within a certain period then Celtic would be awarded a 3-0 victory.

Rick James Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Surely fleetwood away and Newcastle at home would make more sense? As confident as I am about the first 2 rounds, it'd be a bit senseless to not have some lined up. Lower league opposition with an Under 20 side, and potentially a couple of first teamers should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
