If we keep playing like we did last season anything’s possible

We used to send a second string squad to Harrogate for pre season friendlies. Never did I ever think we would end up in the same league. Worst of it is they have beaten us 4 times out of 4 since they got promoted to the football league

Mansfield have only gained 1 point in the four league games against Harrogate plus losing in the pizza cup to them.

A trip to Darlington has been added on Saturday 16th June.

Scunny, Darlo and Chester - refreshingly non-tinpot. Wouldn't mind Southport, either...

Just announced Vale and Dale having a friendly at your place on 23rd July. Should be a good workout for both teams I reckon.

Carrying on our theme of only playing seaside towns we’ve added a trip to Southend.

The TBC was originally, Derby County, so does this mean bad news for Derby.

I see you've stuck to the tried and tested formula.... start with the easiest game and then get progressively harder.

Because of the Play-Offs and an early start to the season our usual tournament with Ajax Amsterdam, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan has had to be postponed. We are currently looking at more local fixtures.

Latest friendly announced.

Wayne Rooney’s Derby County will visit VP on the 9th July.

Should be decent numbers for both home fixtures.

I might go to that. Can't remember the last time we played Derby? Back in the Championship days perhaps?

We seemed to have some high scoring entertaining games against the in the PL and championship, can remember a 4-4 may have had another as well.

Always thought it was in the Prem, but seemingly it was 03/04 - the year we were relegated from the Champ.

Was probably why I forgot. I tried to erase that disappointing memory but now it's back!

Be interesting to see what kind of team Derby can put out.

I want to say that last Derby game mathematically relegated us from the Champ, remember going a season or two before that and left early for some reason only to miss us score a last minute winner.

And it’s about as dull as you’d expect!

First injury of the season too, after 10 minutes.

2-0 Hibs just after HT.
Elie Youan looked the best player in the 45 mins by a country mile.

both teams should be heavily fined and have a points deduction for playing 3 x 30min periods though.
* the ref was on his mobile for the full 5-10 mins between the 2nd and 3rd periods pleading with anyone to take over - but had no takers - poor guy.

I'm not sure if playing hibs in the Spanish sun with only 16 players available was a good idea - not with them having 22+ players. You've had 2 go off injured and Euan Murray looks like he's totally knackerd and has been since about 60 mins.
