UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[AV82EC]

If we are playing Hibs, it needs to be second leg away for me.  Make it so!

That would be my preference.

I've lost track of what's going on.

Is that in general?

As a matter of interest do you know whether that game was played at what is now Gresty Road? I asked the Crewe club historian (self-appointed) when I lived there and he never gave me an answer.

No it was at The Alexandra Recreation Ground, also known as Nantwich Road.

I don't like Hibs' chances of getting through. I'd say 4th place in the Swiss league is probably of a higher quality than 5th place in Scotland. I hope I'm wrong as I have a lot of time for the Hibees.

Thanks PWS.

Not that it really matters/means anything but I think Hibs UEFA coefficient is slightly higher so not a foregone conclusion they’re any worse or better. Then again it’s Hibs and their Manager is that pint sized pillock Johnson so swings and roundabouts.

It's hard to gauge.

Percy is right, we beat Rangers 3-1 in 1887, match was played in Crewe.

Why was it played in Crewe?

Suppose it was handy for both sides as relatively between us both and on a train line.

Hopefully Hibbs make it through. I don't fancy spending £12 a pint.

After the furore several years ago about the then club historian/ documentator / librarian, was the position retained and filled by someone else. Or one that disappeared with Lerners interests?

Cheaper then Edinburgh during The Fringe I would have thought.

From something I read long ago I think the official reason at the time was 'convenient trains'.

Crewe was the centre of the rail network.

Yep, don't expect any reasonable hotel prices either.

A friend of mine paid £420 just for last Saturday night

Just bugger off both of you. It has to be 24th or even 23rd to suit me. I am, I let you know, bigger supporters than  you both!

OK Fred😊
