Footballfirst Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I've noted the first references to a couple friendly games against Linlithgow Rose (end June) and Whitehill Welfare (3rd July). It will likely be a Hearts youth/development side in both games. https://www.midlothianadvertiser.co.uk/sport/football/hearts/hearts-to-visit-whitehill-welfare-for-pre-season-friendly-3209218 It should be possible to attend these games as Scotland drops through the Levels framework. Level 2 (from 17 May) - Max outdoors seated - 500, free standing - 250 Level 1 (early June) - Max outdoors seated - 1,000, free standing - 500 Level 0 (late June) - Max outdoors seated - 2,000, free standing - 1,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Lambretta Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Im not expecting any decent away trips it will be the same as the last 3 years over to Fife and back again. I suspect Herr Levein will be working on the details at the moment and will be in touch with the Head of Football Frau Budge in due course.

Restonbabe Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Already booked in for the berwick 'home' game for me haha. Would have to ask the club but pretty sure you can get a beer at the club house and sip it during the spectacle. If not nearest pub is angel Inn about a 5 minute walk to the ground. Theirs a chineese and chippy 2 mins away aswell. Plus plenty of pubs along the way in berwick itself. Curfew micropub is the pick. Also new venue down hide hill called limoncello. Opposite premier Inn along with a night club just up the way if your are staying over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
