I’m waiting to book flights but don’t want to waste hundreds booking then they change it to a Wednesday or flip the fixtures Joking aside but Hearts must have had dozens of enquiries along this line and should really have made some kind of clarity statement. If the fixture is still subject to possible change, say so. If we’re DEFINITELY going to be away on the 18th and home in the 25th, say so I know the club don’t want to disrespect Linfield by prejudging the outcome so talking about travelling to Zurich wouldn’t be on but the situation needs final clarity for some folk and that’s fair. One thing to note though. UEFA don’t give a flying **** about your travelling plans. If it needs changed for any reason.

The stadium capacity goes down to 17k for European games as they have to ‘re-seat’ standing areas. We’re entitled to 5% of capacity which is about 900. We’ll probably have more than that wanting to go right enough, maybe even double that.

Reckon we will only take around 500 to 1000 over. For teams of our stature there’s not that much difference in qualifying for the the Europa league or Conference however it it was a Champions league play-off I do agree we would take a few thousand over. Also the uncertainties and short notice of who we will be playing (although Zurich now firm favourites) and the costs will put people off committing to the play off.

Cory McNamara Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Unfortunately, having two hard games in a week is a tiring thing. That's what happened with Dundee United. Not the worst home game for them, but in the end something was off. You have to be harder, something special inside the team may put everything in order. The bell rings.
