Luke Verbeek is the creator of this new site which we featured on CQN Magazine earlier in the year. That feature attracted considerable interest. We thought we\u2019d speak to Luke again on the day he launches the site\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><b>What is the purpose of the new website?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>After years of travelling to football matches, I was tired of staying in faceless, cookie cutter budget hotels and hostels on match days. There was no connection with local fans and the prices were often ridiculous. Luke thought there must be thousands of fans who are passionate football fans who have an empty room to share at any point in time. At the same time when we travelled to watch football in Europe, we never really knew anyone in the local area. Local fans who could show us around, connect with them and most importantly share football experiences with them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Homefans is a community driven platform that connects travelling fans with local fans of their favourite club. Its peer-to-peer service enables fans to list, search and book accommodations with locals on match days. Homefans is a service that connects members to a global community of football fans, helping them find a place to stay on match days and experience football in a way money can\u2019t buy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A good idea, but isn&#8217;t half the fun in staying in cookie cutter hotels ? At least it would be if I knew what the fuck he was on about.<\/p>\n<p>Hello ? I&#8217;d like to book a room, and can you make sure there&#8217;s a cookie cutter available should I need it ?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right, I intend to go out roaming with my shamrock after tea.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you have some gloaming nearby. Excellent.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, I&#8217;m off again aren&#8217;t I ?<\/p>\n<p>Back to the League cup, and John Kennedy, standing in for John Collins, who is&#8230;.(fill it in youself when you hear ) spoke about the upcoming match with ten man Hearts-there&#8217;s no way they won&#8217;t get someone sent off, it&#8217;s why they practice playing with ten men in training.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\"><em>\u201cWhen it comes to this stage of the draw, there are a lot of tough games available and it comes no tougher than away to Hearts. It will be a great match when it comes around.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\"><em>\u201cWe were convincing in our victories over them in the cups last season, but I think they showed at the weekend, especially in the second half, they are defensively very well organised.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\"><em>&#8220;We found them difficult to break down. We should have taken our chances in the first half but didn\u2019t<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\"><em>\u201cRobbie has got them very organised and disciplined. Although they didn\u2019t cause us too many problems coming forward, they are very difficult to play against. Based on last season, when we scored a few goals against them, it\u2019s a lesson they have learned,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\"><em>\u201cTynecastle is somewhere I always enjoyed playing. The fans are right on top of you and our support always take up their full allocation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\"><em>\u201cIt will be a great game and that\u2019s what you want in Scottish football. If it\u2019s on TV, then it looks so much better.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\">Ah. We hear it won&#8217;t be on TV. The BBC will instead be showing Ranger v Aberdeen,<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\">In their own tournament, The BBC cup.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\">It kicks in when the two main contestants haven&#8217;t got a game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\">A sort of soap opera.
