Ped_MFC Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Have the tv games been confirmed for that first weekend? Likely be an early kick-off on the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Made Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Last 4 games pre split..... Dons (H) Accies (A) Rangers (H) Celtic (H) I hope we are either all ready in the top 6 prior to that run or at least clear of the play off spot... Those 4 games of the season could make or break our campaign, with what you'd expect to be only 1 winnable game. It's going to be interesting, get the seat belts tightened the rollercoaster will be departing shortly..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Up For It! Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Works out quite nicely that "my local game" is scheduled for 2 days after I come back from holiday on the 10th August! Not the worst fixture list ever. Should be looking at a minimum of 12pts before start of October and game via Accies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Alan Brazil is a fat alcoholic mess. His opinion on anything shouldn't matter a jot. P.s don't be a dick by listening to TalkSport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the Europa league qualifying dates but that might push it to the Sunday... Europa League 3rd round qualifiers, second leg, are scheduled for 3rd August. I've no idea though what round the Scottish sides are in at and what the likelihood is of making the third round, but on the assumption that that Rangers do, yes you would be looking at the Sunday.

Kmcalpin Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Alan Brazil just called us Rangers Reserves on Talksport when talking about fixtures Maybe that tells you something about which programmes you should listen to. On another note we have 4 home games against the gruesome twosome. Very slightly more winnable than 2 or 3 home games against them. The club treasurer will also be happy.

mio Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Absolutely delighted with them at Fir Park first day!! Brilliant!!

Donaldo87 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Also not sure what the point in the winter break is this year is when all it means is we've squeezed 7 games into December and then 4 into the last two weeks of January if you include the Scottish Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Surely they'll just reverse the fixture at play the game at Fir Park, with the one later in the season at Tynecastle? I'm sure Liverpool did a similar thing last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Therefore, although today’s published fixture list shows that Hearts are due home matches in rounds two and four, there is absolute clarity and agreement that this will not be possible and these games will not be played at Tynecastle. We have been assured by the SPFL that this is not an issue and our fellow Premiership clubs have all been very co-operative and sympathetic to our position. We are therefore urgently exploring the different options available to us with regards to rearranging these two fixtures and an announcement will be made shortly.

I'm sure Liverpool did a similar thing last season. Yeah, pretty sure their first 5 games of last season were away to allow Anfield upgrades to be completed.

daver Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yeah switching to Fir Park would make sense. Unfortunately it means we miss out on a trip to Edinburgh in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I would be surprised if its not at Murrayfield. Hampden and Murrayfield in the same season. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I guess we'll just need to wait and see but I think I remember us hosting Dunfermline on the second weekend of the season one year (possibly 2005'06) as they were still fitting/ripping up their artificial surface and East End Park was unavailable. Hearts have of course used Murrayfield before so that wouldn't be a surprise either. Edinburgh rugby aren't using Murrayfield for run of the mill league games anyway so no likelihood of a clash of dates if they did look at that option.
