why was it that Hearts couldn't play their euro games at Tynecastle? Was it because of pitch slope? if so, how come we could play Nancy no bother this season?
do you anticipate the same level of demand for a 1st qualifying leg given A: the date and B: the real possibility of progressing to the next round?
Still Moldova would be mental!
should you not be paying us a tenner to take whats left of the hallowed turf off your hands?!?
Nah, in all seriousness, looks really cool, hopefully I'll get along this weekend and buy some stuff for my 5 a side team.
at least then we'll be able to say that we deserve the europa cup space since we're "5th" in the league anyway!
Seriously though, doesn't really matter. If we'd gotten into the top 6 we'd have had to play OF, NF and hearts again anyway which wouldn't exactly have been easy.

I imagined this sort of statement coming out of Butcher's mouth if he hadn't moved to Sydney. He was losing his best players and that we couldn't afford to replace them.
