SectionDJambo Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 This was my first overseas trip to see Hearts since Paris 1984. There’s been too many obstacles. Thanks to all I met and shared time and beers with. It was a great experience and I always love being with my own people. And thanks also to the people of Florence, and the other visitors, who were happy to engage with us and enjoy the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gorgie Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Awake from 7am Thursday morning to 5pm Friday. Hanging about outside pisa airport for 3 hours as we didn't know it shut and opened at 4am. Had to stand majority of the train journey from London back to Edinburgh, got a seat from Newcastle. And id do all again in a heart beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalstonjambo Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Got home about 1am last night after our flight home was delayed from Rome. Hard not to just type the same thing everyone else has, but I’ve been on a few European trips with Hearts and that tops the lot for me too. Bit different for me this time as brought my wife. She’s never really ‘got’ Hearts and just thinks I’m an idiot for spending so much time travelling back and forward. Regularly telling me she thinks I’m mental. Only got her to come by tying it in with a day either side in Rome. As we walked into the square by the church with the dome, absolutely rammed with tourists just as ‘Have you heard of the Heart of Midlothian’ broke out I will never forget the look on her face. She turned to me and said ‘I guess this won’t be a quiet day seeing tourist stuff then?’ Long story short she had a smile on her face all day/night and couldn’t believe how well everyone behaved, and I even caught her clapping along a few times. A huge thank you to the couple next to us who told her the best thing they’ve ever done was take their son to games. You’ve just secured another generation of Hearts fans in my family without knowing it. Sometimes for all of us involved it is hard to realise how special this football club is. For a lady from the midlands who met a random Scottish guy who spent most weekends going to Edinburgh a little bit of her now understands. She even said she enjoyed it and wants to go again. Just no one tell her you can’t get aperol spritz in Gorgie. Oh what a night indeed. Edited October 15, 2022 by Dalstonjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karipidis Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Been back since yesterday afternoon, and despite the copious amount of drink consumed I only feel a buzz after that trip. Was a special time, in a special place, with a special football club. We can only hope as a club we kick on now and secure 3rd again to get these sort of adventures again.

Beautiful city, and seeing the look on my laddies face when we hit the square on Thursday afternoon [his first Euro football trip], he sang every minute till he physically couldn't anymore.
