They sound confident:

“Hibs defence is as solid as a melted toblerone sitting on a deck chair wearing a t shirt saying if I was chocolate I’d eat myself.”

Will the away tickets be subject to away scheme?

Would this be the first time we've played a Scottish team at Villa Park since 1976?

Hib, 1989.

Was that friendly the first appearance of God?  I seem to recall it may have been the case for Kent Nielsen

Seem to remember through the mists of time that Adrian Heath played for us in that game as well.  Only played a couple of games if I recall correctly, so guess he was on some kind of trial?  Seem to remember Hibs having a really smart Adidas kit, but that is about it. 

Hope it is Hibs really.  Would definitely add a bit of interest and spice to the tie, along with the John McGinn / Des Bremner angle.

Was that the game where George Best ended up wearing a Villa shirt? Was the Hummel kit.

There is no away scheme and hasn't been for a few years. There's no agreed system yet, could be anything including a ballot for the European aways. I would suspect it will mirror the league away game allotment, but more will filter through.

Has anyone found what channel the Hibs v Luzern game is on? Fancy doing an Emery and researching our opponents.

No, that was during a fundraiser game v West Brom for the victims of the Bradford fire.

Most of them only want the match to see SJM on their pitch again. I don' think any think they will be getting a chance to go any further. Hope they get their wish.

Using my extensive knowledge of German, this means SRF Two Switzerland HD.

Hotel reserved in Edinburgh to cover  either 24th or 23rd. Four Point Sheraton near Haymarket train station. Booking a room in Luzern is a bit more  of a problem at the moment.

FCL are no mugs and a proper football team with a solid ST support. At 17000, the capacity is only 3000 smaller than Easter Rd. They pull up to around 14,000 for the big games so there will not be many spares.

Their manager Herr Frick was a hugely experienced footballer playing over 664 games.

Although he did miss several seasons as he was on a mission to locate the Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies.
