LarrysRightFoot Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I’d held off from buying a ticket but was planning on going - quite disappointed it’s cancelled. Would’ve preferred a more central location but that’s a different argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cancellation email just says 'Unfortunately, there has been an alternation to the first-team’s pre-season training schedule which means that the players can no longer attend the event.'

been here before Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Pre covid a free event held for the Jnr Jambos in the Gorgie Suite. This year 60+ sheets for family of 4 held out at Ingliston and looking utter shite. Surprising its been cancelled...

RustyRightPeg Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I think they’re airing on the side of caution that we don’t get 3rd. We’ll need to be back in earlier with potential European qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Always seemed a bit bizarre that we arranged this on a Saturday, when Europe was far from a foregone conclusion, meaning we could have had a League Cup group game that day. Although, if we do in fact get to Europe, I've been told by someone very much involved at Hearts, that there were plans to play Wolfsburg in a friendly over there. Maybe Wolfsburg can only do the 19th July or thereabouts? Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our qualifiers won't take place until after the league starts (assuming Inverness don't win the cup and Hibs don't overtake us) but this was arranged for two weeks before our first league game so I think it's quite likely we've taken up an offer of a preseason game on the same date.

Unless Hibs overtake us or Inverness win the cup, both of which are pretty unlikely, we'll either be 3rd Qualifying Round (10th & 17th August) or EL Playoff Round (24th & 31st August). If we did somehow end up in the 2nd QL that would be 27th July and 3rd August so still only a week before the league kicks off on 5th August.

Either that following weekend or the weekend before, bearing in mind it’s a Euro year in 2024 which generally means the leagues and cups are all wrapped up early doors.

Armageddon Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Not sure why we couldn't have held this in the stadium and Community pitch - used the food kiosks, drawn people to spend some time in the stadium. Anyway, pumped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 It did seem like a strange day to have this, the Sunday may have been better and at the stadium to save on costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midweek 0-0 draw in front of about 5000 fans, including 3 Wolfsburg fans - and I'm not even joking A tragic penalty miss was about the only highlight, although I did think their player Evseev looked quality. Unfortunately, his career stats don't seem to agree with my assessment, as he went on to spend time at Holsten Kiel, Hansa Rostock, and SV Meppen Edited May 22, 2023 by tian447 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, his career stats don't seem to agree with my assessment, as he went on to spend time at Holsten Kiel, Hansa Rostock, and SV Meppen Remember it well. I was sat in lower N, just below their fans. Although IIRC they were doing the 5-1 with us. I remember Evseev looking good too. We winger I'm sure. I thought big Bas Dost looked like a donkey, which is amusing because I'm sure he was linked with Newcastle a year or 2 ago. I didn't realise it was Daniel Caligiuri who missed the penalty for them. He went on to be a pretty decent player for Schalke, as was Naldo who was on the bench for Wolfsburg that night. So the story is, if we get to Europe again, the club want to branch out and play foreign teams in pre-season to help us prepare, and as a gesture of goodwill for that match, we're keen to try and play them over there in the summer. The person who told me said he'd slipped up and maybe shouldn't have said it so I won't name him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 It was a good idea and thinking outside the box. The venue was more than likely chosen to attract potential supporters as well as current supporters, and had "big" team written all over it. Unfortunately it has backfired, and it did seem a bit expensive, given the current climate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must have been right next to each other, but everyone was because the Wheatfield was closed that night. I remember their fans being well up for it, even though it was rubbish. Pretty sure they came down from the upper bit for the second half because it was a bit pointless being on their own That's the one for Evseev, he seemed pretty quick and good on the ball, but doesn't seem like it ever worked out for him. Probably easy to look good in a kickabout friendly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those players I remember thinking 'he could go far'. Shows what we know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
