Setanta to show Barca game. - HibeesBounce.com

**THE GAZZETTE** · 12-06-08, 13:39

Setanta sports have secured the rights to show both Barcelona's friendly games in Scotland.I was'nt going anyway,but this might put a few others off due to the ridiculously high cost of a ticket.And it being on a thursday night at Murrafield,with a piss poor atmosphere.

was always gonna be televised as were the Barca tour games last summer so no surprises there, shouldn't affect the crowd too much.

nabser · 12-06-08, 17:58

delighted to hear this as i wont be able to get over for the game due to work.

TattooedHibee · 13-06-08, 09:23

That'll do for me.

The Goose · 13-06-08, 09:25

£20 for 3 games at ER but £25 for a kickabout at Murrayfield. No contest, Setanta it is.

**southfieldhibby** · 13-06-08, 09:42

Good news, thats my decision made.

Right now, watch it in the gaff.

After a fair bit of peer pressure from you and your dobber mates I'll no doubt fork out money to go along and moan about the fact ER is sitting empty at that moment while we watch a shadow Barca team not bother their arse.

aye right you will be there as will I.

the venue is pish so is pricing but its Hibs v Barca in Edinburgh on a summers night for the price of a couple of rounds.

really wish they'd made kids tickets very cheap or handed batches out to clubs, schools etc. would have been great to take along all the lads from the U12s team I take but club funds won't run to 15- 20 quid a head.

**SkyeHibs** · 13-06-08, 10:33

I'm afraid it will be Setanta for me. I have to be in Edinburgh the week before and the week after. Do I drive 270 miles to Edinburgh which takes the best part of six hours, spend £120 in fuel for a return journey or watch it on the box.

The folk grumbling about the price will no doubt spend more watching it in the pub........

It's nowt to do with the price for me, I've never been a huge fan of pre-season friendlies, it's at Murrayfield which is pish, Barca will field a shadow squad I reckon and we're a year too late with this one.

Barca are a big draw but it just doesnt feel right somehow.

I kinda know what you mean but in my case i'd honestly rather pay £25 to see Barca than the 2 premiership games at ER,Folk are kidding themselves on if they think the atmos at ER for the 2 friendlies will be any different from Muddyfield.

The atmosphere is pish at all friendlies regardless of who or where your playing,it's about gaining match fitness and i'd rather see Barca gaining match fitness than Wigan or M'boro (Again).....

**Laughlan** · 13-06-08, 18:59

Not sure if im gonna go to this. Murrayfield ffs..

It is very expensive.

Football is too expensive nowadays and that is the end of it!

£40 for 2 tickets and travel costs make a game £50-£70? TV it is.

I can see another Real Man Utd or Real Hibs being set up where the fans are not fleeced!

**striker9** · 14-06-08, 20:10

Definately not going but getting a ticket for the father in law and my wee boy
