graygo Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) 25 minutes ago, The Treasurer said: Depending on where we are going for preseason training there is usually bounce games organised with teams who are in the same location. Remember the last one ended in a punch up Was that not a winter training camp rather than pre season? South of Spain. Edit: your point stands though. Double edit: it was December 2022 near Marbella against Almeria. 👍 https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9869902/hearts-friendly-almeria-abandoned-fight-chaos/ Edited May 30, 2023 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazajmbo Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 150th year for the following clubs HMFC Aston Villa Bolton Wanderers Dunfermline Greenock Morton Hamilton FC / Academical Macclesfield Town Would be a decent variation of opponents all at different levels for pre season friendlies. Has there been any confirmation of where we are going for a pre season tour / training camp? Hearts live was cancelled due to the first team squad going abroad so I'd guess we have confirmed dates/location? Potentially Germany if there is any talk of playing Bayern? Total guess though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a soft spot for them, more so because I have a few mates from London when I used to work there that are big Spurs fans. They have been through it over the years especially when Arsenal were winning leagues and cups and they were floundering around no mans land in the league.
