Mixed thoughts on this one. If handled properly it could be great. Has anything really changed since this fixture was mooted last year though?

I wonder if Hearts pre-season plans include going to the wall.

**Grant1875** · 02-04-08, 11:10

Queue the constructive comments from the scumbos that Hibs were second choice and Hertz haven't got time for teams like Barcelona.. when in reality they would love to play a team like Barcelona again. Might have been there last chance before they go tits up... in fact it's already went tits up for them

Surely they may draw them in the Champion's League though.

**Purple & Green** · 02-04-08, 11:50

I kind of feel that we missed a trick by not playing them last year

HOWEVER

If they win the Champions League, then we'll easily top the 58,000 that Barlecona attracted last year.

I'm surprised they are coming back mind, the cigars and the malt whiskys must be really good at Gleneagles.

**russ dinse** · 02-04-08, 11:52

I think it would be a bad idea,chasing shadows for 90mins would'nt be my idea of a glamour friendly.Now if it were at ER that would be a different ball game,like Utd i think we would give them a game.

**Jack** · 02-04-08, 12:02

Bloody hell!

We could have a wee tourney with Barcelona and Real Madrid (as part of the Fletch deal)!

Apart from that NO!

The ‘game’ last year was a farce as a football match and did nothing to prepare Hertz for the season, other than make them even more deluded.

Maybe if we looked on it as an extra outwith the pre-season fitness preparation it might be worth it. Having said that FCB charged Hearts a reported £1m at then time with that now exaggerated to £2m. (58,000 x £25 comes in around £1.5m

KeithDev1875 · 02-04-08, 12:04

I agree I would play at Easter Road but not Murrayfield. If Dundee Utd can play them in 12,000 stadium surely they'll play at Easter Road in front of 17,000?I know they want proceeds to go to Unicef surely if they're that keen on that to happen they can drop their "appearance fee"?
Also, it will be good preparation for our UEFA Cup clash with AC Milan next season

This isnae for me. The last thing the cabbage needs mid season is the bollox the gunts had last season.

Hope it doesn't go ahead...

Bouncers should have no doubts this is about Barcelona not Hibs - like our maroon chums last year we are the daft wee nuisance team from a diddy league put there to be swept aside - nothing more. Barca enjoyed the training facilities at St Andrews and their players, officials and manager enjoyed the golf - that is whay they are in Scotland.

We may agree to play them but once Rod Petrie signs the deal the whole thing will be taken out of his hands by Barcelona's management company Platinum One. They will run the whole thing and market it lock stock and barrell and they'll take the bulk of the profit.

Platinum One will say the game is at Murrayfield, they want 50k not 18k - and they will negotiate to broadcast it thru Sky or Setanta - we will have no say whatsoever in this and there is no chance of the game being at Easter Road. Our job is to turn up at Murrayfield and play.

This is about marketing the Barca brand and selling the new Barca home and away shirts which naturally will be on sale at the stadium. I doubt Hibs will even be allowed to sell our new kits at Murrayfield from the same stalls as the Barca shirts will be sold from - we'll be relegated to some wee side stall.

Hardcore Hibs ST Holders will be given NO consideration here as its not about us - its more about the once a year attenders who watch their football on Sky..

Thank f**k I'm a Valencia fan!!

As a Cule, I agree we missed a trick last year and I bet the Mouser still boaks about it. For the record I have seen Barca live in the flesh three times this season, although I do rely on Sky to watch them every week. However, a few members of the UK Barca Penya do travel very regularly to both home and away games. Anyone who fancies joining can do so here....[Only Registered Users Can See Links.

By the way it was St Andrews they stayed at and they loved it, hence the trip back.

Johnny Vegas · 02-04-08, 18:41

I had some inside knowledge - for the first time in my life.

reporter in barcelona let me know roughly how much barca were looking for.

we'd have been lucky to break even...

EDIT : 1M euro was the figure quoted but they were tarting themselves to anyone to get a bidding war - not sure how much of that went to unicef though ?

He loves Henry (esp) and Co but is spending the summer training in Milan. Hibs versus Barcelona would be something he would relish - but he won't be here
