wunfellaff Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Totally agree they should go for it. Don't understand all those rolling their eyes. A very scottish trait that. Be as well, if in Edinburgh, to be Murrayfield. It would still sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealMaroon Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Intertotto cup or what ever it is called no being held anymore? Hibs are desperate lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hibee Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Intertotto cup or what ever it is called no being held anymore? Hibs are desperate lol What the fek are you talking about? The super cup is the Europa League winners against the Champions League winners. How are hibs desperate for some fans suggesting they use Easter Road. Think before you speak Franko it's always letting you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standupforthemotherwell Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yes, I think they should. I'm not sure how far down the leagues UEFA are prepared to go, but I hear one of the teams that will participate in the Scottish 3rd division next season have a cracking wee ground. It would be nice to see diddies geting a wee bit of glamour. Well Hampden has already hosted the Champions League final and the UEFA Cup final. May as well go for the full set...

jamie33 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk.../wales/18657940 With the end of hosting in Monaco next year's UEFA SuperCup is being played at Sparta Prague's Eden Stadion while 2014's is going to the Cardiff City stadium - it's part of UEFA's measures to take it to smaller modern stadiums in smaller cities. Should the Hibs board consider a bid in future? when was the last time you were at easter rd.? . its small yes but its corporate facilities are nowhere near the uefa standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Be as well, if in Edinburgh, to be Murrayfield. UEFA wouldn't award it to a rugby stadium - and they're not taking it to large venues, that's the whole point of the exercise. They're taking it to smaller venues in the capital cities of smaller countries: all 3 forthcoming (Prague, Cardiff, Tbilisi = 2013, 2014, 2015) hold 2x,000. They're not (for example) using the Millennium Stadium or the Georgian National Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hague Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It might be its first sell out. the first ever final at ibrox was a sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStar Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So many whooshes in this thread. I don't see why Hibs shouldn't would be great for them, and their stadium seems to meet the criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrayfield and Hampden are too large. Capital city 20k stadium is what they are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This seems pretty ideal for Easter Road. There's no reason why it couldn't be hosted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaKnollBoy Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Throw a spanner in the works perhaps, but Tynecastle is a better stadium than Easter Road IMHO, so I would suggest there! Awaits flak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way? Better stadium no Corporate facilities no Complete stadium no Bigger? No Hearts have a problem using tynecastle for European matches and had to move to Murrayfield because so. There's no danger they could host anything and that's not slagging hearts it's just fact. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, it was a slightly biased viewpoint. Montrose were the first away team to win at Tynecastle in about two years in the mid to late eighties, 2-zip in the league cup. Souness and his mercenaries made a big thing out of it when the won there a couple of months after we did the business IIRC. Easter Road reminds me of the League Cup drubbing, 9-0 wasn't it? Anyway, Tynecastle for me, because any time I have been there, it has been a decent atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan jim Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Been to Easter Road on a few different occasions, (scotland match, Well v Hibs and Well cup tie as a 'neutral' venue) and each time thought it has been a cracking wee stadium, and that was before the shed got pulled down for the new stand. Think what makes the atmosphere seem not as good as other stadia is coz, well, Hibs are playing there! Yes Tynecastle has probably the best atmosphere in the right match but is far too tired and run down to be considered by uefa. Good stadium, good location for foreign fans, would be good exposure for scottish football if this was to materialise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Might not be a bad shout. Tynecastle might be worth a bid too. After all Platini is a midget, so he'd have no problem stretching his leg in that teeny weeny "stadium". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If it hadn't been for the fairly recent UEFA Cup final being hosted in Scotland, i'd have fancied Easter Road's chances. Cos of that i reckon there might be a bit of wait for a turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
