I'd be pretty local to Lurgan, if coming by train best to book a taxi to ground, station is at the mainly Nationalist side of town, I'm sure Glenavon social club will be open to Hearts fans.

If he retires at the end of the season I'd say there was a case for suggesting to Glenavon that the game be used as a bit of a celebration of Hughes' career. He's a Northern Ireland legend who as far as I know doesn't have any club ties in NI. Give him half an hour for Hearts and half an hour for Glenavon. Might be able to bring in other fans from NI to boost the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just googled Lurgan after reading this thread. It's sounds like a hovel...at least the favelas have the sun. Where is better to go? I've never been but my mum's side of the family are from N.I so I'd like to go sometime. Edit: Just saw your post above ?

My actual age was relatively insignificant in my reply, as in hindsight it possibly suggested I'd been going at least every year for a hell of a long time. I have been a number of times over that period, during those ages but not every single year, the most recent for our friendly game versus Linfield and prior to that the previous time was when we played in the tournament involving Crusaders and Liverpool hosted by Glentoran in East Belfast. The poster I was responding to had described Northern Ireland in a certain manner and I was merely confirming I agreed with him. However, are there still dangers, of course there are, the most recent death in Londonderry provides confirmation of that. It is always wise to ask questions in advance to make sure of your own safety and that of those you may be travelling with, Lurgan isn't somewhere I've been before.

Prof Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 One of the most stupid plans I’ve heard for a long time. The club is trying to get rid of the “up to our knees brigade”.

If hearts win the cup we would get a place in the 2nd qualifying round with games played 25/7 and 1/8. I can't see that being an issue. If we were to get a place through the league (unlikely) we would get a place in the 1st qualifying round with games played 11/7 and 18/7. Still 5 days after the potential glenavon game. I have family in NI so hoping to get booked up ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW1 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Booked flights for this earlier this morning. There and back same day. 7.05 from Edinburgh to Belfast then some sightseeing and culture vulturing with the Mrs then on to lurgan for the game . Return at 8.25 pm so a nice day out and the bonus of football all in one day and quick flights . Never been to Lurgan but my cousin lives in Banbridge and surely it's better then Banbridge? Anyone recommend any pubs if they know the area? I reckon we'll have at least a couple of hundred over there maybe many more. Hopefully we can just pay at the gate. Never been to a ground in Northern Ireland/Ireland (whatever your preference) so looking forward to this one and hopefully seeing some new signings(if we get them) get a run out.
