Edinburgh Saints Get Together

[Baldy Marc]

Oh.. feck knows about that.

Cheap day Return costs £10.80 and standard return is £17.70 - both a fecking rip off for a 45min journey !!

[soulfulsaint]

This thread makes me jealous to the core. Can I wish all the Edinburgh Saintees a boozy journey, a brilliant great day out and some serious headaches on Monday morning? Remember you don't drink brasso you polish cups with it.

Have a great one guys C'mon da Saints

Oh there will be plenty boozing soulful, that's for sure!

[Saint O'Leith]

We'll do our best....

Group ticket works out about £5 each by the way.

[Emma]

maybe a stupid question but if your in a group ticket on the way thru do you need to come back at the same time as everyone in the group? just we might stick around in glasgow...
getting excited!

[Tractor Boy]

Yeah I think 4 of you need to travel together.

[killinsaints]

the pie brothers will be at waverely @ 10.30 with carry oot in hand. or up our jumpers if needed

[Capital Saint]

Can I come too?

[ryangordon86]

Everyone is welcome, even folks from elsewhere that fancy a fun trip on the train! Edinburgh's.... Yellow Army!!! Edinburgh's... Yellow Army!!

I wasn't really looking forward to this game until today but i've got the butterflies now! This is our best ever chance to win major silverwear! Sainsts for the double

[ryangordon86]

Cool, thought it would be that. Still can't believe the train times. Obviously nobody will ever want to go to Edinburgh from Cowdenbeath/Dunfermline etc anytime before 12 on a Sunday?!?!


How about buses from Dunfermline?! Do they not suit any better?

[Dunfermline Saint]

How about buses from Dunfermline?! Do they not suit any better?

Was thinking about that. Still need to check them out...

Just checked and I can get to the bus station in Edinburgh for 10.15. Still need to go to Inverkeithing but at least there isn't such a long wait!

[biffer]

Looking forward to meeting a few folk on Sunday. I'll be the one in the Saints top...

The bar in Waverley Station is open early (i.e. for breakfast) through the week, not sure about Sunday though

[crieffsaintandy]

see you all at Waverley, 4 of us will be there at 10:30, make sure I don't drop the tickets on the platform for some french tourist this year!!

[ryangordon86]

just we might stick around in glasgow...

But what about Mathers!

Cheers Soulful - should be a good'un. Sort of reminds me of the days away with the Academy Saints bus. Will try to get some of the old songs going!!

Hi Dunfermline saint...

I am getting the 10.27 from dalgety bay which gets into haymarket at 11.00 It stops at inverkeithing at 10.32 so could you get that too?

My plan is to jump off the train at haymarket at 11.00 and get the 11.04 to glasgow. What could possiblely go wrong with this tight timetable?! Nothing is ever late on the trains! :shock: :? :!:

For info guys and gals - I was in Waverly this morning and there is a notice saying no alcohol on trains from Edin - Weegie from 1000hrs and from Weegie to Edin from 1700hrs to 2330hrs on Sunday. How to spoil a good day out!!!
Bacon roll and a rum laced coffee seem on the agenda

[Dunfermline Saint]

Just home.....Getting the 9.45 bus to Edinburgh bus station and walking down to the station tomorrow. Booked a taxi to drive me down and also given her permission to walk in and shout like fcuk to make sure I am up! Anyone else gone and got a bit too pissed a bit too early???

[Emma]

I think you mean "when" we win Emma.

yeah i do C'MON SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dunfermline Saint]

Finally made it back. Great turn out for the train today, I think everyone was surprised how many fans turned up at Waverley.

Might be some time before some of the guys to recover after a 'few' post match drinks in Glasgow. :wink:

Special mention to everyone who contributed to the 'old jakey' at Mnt Florida station and kept him in food. Unfortunately he did turn to the bin for his tea before we left :?

[geoff was right!!]

Special mention to everyone who contributed to the 'old jakey' at Mnt Florida station and kept him in food. Unfortunately he did turn to the bin for his tea before we left :?

Yeah the old jake put a smile on our faces while waiting on the train.

He was trying to get food and fags from everyone before turning to the bin for any scraps:D:D

[Dave H]

He was trying to get food and fags from everyone before turning to the bin for any scraps:D:D

hmmmm? and what is one all mighty smiling at?

[killinsaints]

Canny make it to Inverness but me and my bro are going for a beer in Mathers on Saturday afternoon if anybody wants to come.

[Saint O'Leith]

May well see you there.....

[killinsaints]

We will be there at about 3ish. So we will see you there if you are coming.

[Emma]

I'm driving up to Perth on Wed for the Burnley match if anyone wants a lift? Only thing is im not coming back...
Cant wait till the start of the Season!!

[Baldy Marc]

Anyone going to the game tomorrow with a spare seat in the car??

[Tractor Boy]

Anyone going to the game tomorrow with a spare seat in the car??

I have a spare seat baldy one. Also more spare seats if anyone else wants a lift.

[Baldy Marc]

http://www.petitiononline.com/5570234/petition.html


Big John who's got the lease for The Phoenix Bar Edinburgh has had to put our beloved pub on the market as bevvy sales are not enough to run the pub at a profit. He has requested that the brewery fit a small kitchen in the current cellar so he can serve decent food to hungry punters, but the brewery has refused.

So far there have been several notes of interest - one from a consortium that has links to George Street. If The Phoenix falls into the hands of this corporation the soul will be sucked out and our memories of being welto'd at the back of the pub after Pure (or any other Friday night institution) will all but have gone.

John doesn't want to hand the pub over but his hand is being forced by the brewery.

Please sign to show your support in John keeping The Phoenix as it is (and maybe paint the outside black, get square tables, get cheaper spirits and serve decent food...)

[Saint O'Leith]

Whoever is up for tomorrow, it seems the plan is to meet in Waverley just before 12. Looks like we should have a no bad turn-out.

[ormond boy]

Station buffet - O.K. pub - at 1130'ish. That will allow time to organise group tickets etc.

Can't wait for my pot noodles in the Norseman!!!

[Thomas_sjfc]

Sounds good.

I'll be there round about half 11ish,

[killinsaints]

i will see you in glasgow are you going for a beer in the horseshoe?

[Baldy Marc]

What's the craic for tomorrow then?

[Sainteesean]

why is there a edinburugh saints and not a glasgow saints :(:confused:

[ryangordon86]

Any Edinburgh based saintees getting the train through to Livingston tomorrow?

[Sainteesean]

:(

take it im the only glasgow based saintee on here then ? haha :-|:cry:

[saint jason]

Bumpity bump:wink:.

[saint jason]

Bit nippy in Auld Reekie this morning, no?

[saint jason]

............and as for the roadworks.:wink:

[ryangordon86]

it is a wee bit cauld, i'll give you that one!

[Sutton01]

I may have to catch up with the saints in edinburgh from now, moving through here for uni has drawbacks as i don't know a single saints fan

Where is the pub in question?

[Baldy Marc]

Mathers at the top of Broughton Street. More the merrier mate.

[meldy 60]

SO are you boys/girls going to run a bus to Dunfermline,hope so .

[Ginger Bakers rebel army]

Come on Edinburgh saintees you can do it.

[ryangordon86]

doubt we'll run a bus, its pretty expensive as there's only 15-20 of us that regularly go, it cost around £15 a head last time out so the train's probably a more viable option

[saint jason]

Mornin' all.
Dirty Kenneth, that was a fine paella last night.
Anyways, when do we wrap up this league then:wink:!

[Ginger Bakers rebel army]

Ryangordon86 , please see post under main blue and white army away day thread.

Power to the Edinburgh saintees who will get the train to Dunfermline on 1/11.Mathers at 11am??????????????????????? train to meet with the Perth train sintees at Iverkeithing at 12.41. Waverley 12.18 or Haymarket 12.22.

[saint jason]

Thanks Ginger.
Always liked your work with Jack Bruce. Clapton let you down in my opinion:wink:.

[Emma]

Mathers at the top of Broughton Street. More the merrier mate.

We should a get together in the pub, is there a tv to watch the scotland match on sat?

[saint jason]

We should a get together in the pub, is there a tv to watch the scotland match on sat?

There is a tv in the, hopefully by saturday, refurbished Mathers. In fact there are several. I would try to come along early as it fills up like a Dundee fan realising they are doomed :wink:.
Worst case scenario, we will alight to the Phoenix down the road, or the uber expensive (but quiet) Star Bar nearby.
Fellow Embra Saints please read and attend.
Mon the Perth Azzurri!

[saint jason]

.............and you get free pies at half time.
Seriously.

[Tractor Boy]

Sounds like a plan, see you both there!

[Nelly78]

I would join you all for a few beers, but I'll be at Hampden Instead! Although the free pies do sound tempting.....

Not sure if I'll be able to make Dunfermline - ankle ligaments have now healed after 5 months out and I'm planning on making a playing comeback on Saturdays. Damn the Saints for starting to play better when I can't go anymore!!!

[Emma]

.............and you get free pies at half time.
Seriously.

Free pies, that's it-I'm in! Not having much joy convincing my football loving friends to come with but will come anyways.

[chopper]

Having just recently moved jobs through to Edinburgh, it is good to have found the meeting place for when I eventually get round to moving through here! Next midweek meet up, I shall try and pop along to put faces to the names I don't recognise!

[saint jason]

Mornin' fellow Embra Saints.
For some irrational reason the managers of MATHERS BAR, BROUGHTON STREET have given me my QUIZ NIGHT back. It starts this sunday 19TH OCTOBER and, assuming I don't offend to many people, will be a weekly event.
If you are in the hood, please pop along.
Sample question:
Who are the only British professional team with a J in their name?.......................I reckon you have all got one point already.
Many thanks,
JC

[saint jason]

Bumping like a bumpy thing in a vehicle made of bump.

[Baldy Marc]

Bumping like a bumpy thing in a vehicle made of bump.

Making work on a Monday morning if difficult enough without you trying to drag me along to Mathers on a Sunday night !!

[saint jason]

Making work on a Monday morning if difficult enough without you trying to drag me along to Mathers on a Sunday night !!

You will need a note from your mum........

[Baldy Marc]

Is there a plan for the Livi game?

[ormond boy]

Bumping like a bumpy thing in a vehicle made of bump.

I'm not clever enough

[ryangordon86]

If any of you boys are getting a train through, get a train to livi north then come to Da Vinci's. There's a good selection of food, sport etc. It'll be a couple of quid in a taxi and is half way between the station and the ground

Me, my brother and my dad will be there pre match for a few then we make the 10-15 min walk to the ground.

[Nold]

what train is everyone getting through tomorrow? I am thinking of going but as yet have been unable to convince anyone else so would be up for meeting up if possible.

[ryangordon86]

I'm getting a lift early doors, the other half and her mum are going shopping. Should be in Da Vinci's for around 1300 if you fancy popping in for a few jars and a few games of pool

[Nold]

Good stuff. Will aim to see you in there then.

[Tractor Boy]

what train is everyone getting through tomorrow? I am thinking of going but as yet have been unable to convince anyone else so would be up for meeting up if possible.

12.25 from Waverley.

Ryan, hopefully see you in that pub.

[Nold]

if you get a chance then lookmout for me at haymarket. cheers

[saint jason]

I'm not clever enough

Me neither.
You were clever enough to get out the pub on saturday unlike me!!!

[Sutton01]

Saw a few Saintees on the bus at Haymarket on saturday, think it was the rail replacement about half 12 / 12.45
me and the missus were there

never realised it was sucha trek from livingston north to the ground mind...

[saint jason]

BUMP.

Quiz night, Mathers, Broughton Street, Sunday 26th @ 8 p.m...................at least one Saints question guaranteed.

That is all.

jc

[ryangordon86]

Right folks, I've managed to get the 1st November off work so do we have a plan of action? what time are people meeting at Mathers?

[saint jason]

Right folks, I've managed to get the 1st November off work so do we have a plan of action? what time are people meeting at Mathers?

Opening time. 11 a.m. Poster is going up tonight.
Further details to follow.

Ta.

[Emma]

Sounds good, I'm meeting my dad in Dunfermline me thinks so might bus it as unsure where the bus station is in relation to the train station and think he'll get the bus...

[Emma]

Sorted. I'll get the train with everyone from Edinburgh at 12:18, is that right? and meet in Mathers at 11. I'm going out on the friday so I'll be needing some drink to keep me going. See you all then!

Kool and the gang. Bring you lucky mascot with you!

[saint jason]

Quiz night went well, thanks for coming:wink:.............................And, yes I did ask which was the only British team with a J in their name.
The team with the pretty Irish girls won. Who would have thunk it.

[Sutton01]

me and my girlfriend, another saintee, will be doing our best to make it to mathers to meet up with everyone before heading through.

so 2 more to add to the edinburgh saints for saturday

[Nelly78]

Seriously considering picking up a slight injury this week so I can miss my football on Saturday. If I do, they'll be another 2 (me and the missus) in Mathers early doors.

[Emma]

Kool and the gang. Bring you lucky mascot with you!

She's never been since so it may have been beginners luck...Come on the Saints, i cant wait!

[st Tommy]

Since i am injured signed off from driving, i will be getting the train up to Dunfy on Sat. Will try and make mathers first but if not ill see you all on the train. Mon the saints!

[ryangordon86]

the question on everyones lips must be.... Is Nold going to appear?!?

[saint jason]

the question on everyones lips must be.... Is Nold going to appear?!?

Yes.

[saint jason]

....................no

[saint jason]

..............maybe?:wink:

[Nold]

Yes I will be there.

Did make it through to the Livi game as well but couldn't find Da Vinci's so ended up in a place across from Wetherspoons.

[ryangordon86]

*** just kidding mate!

[Baldy Marc]

*** just kidding mate!

No your not !!

[pringles]

you'll recognise Nold by his Scumdee top with Grady written on the back

[saint jason]

That would be amazing!

[Sutton01]

Me and the missus shall be appearing at Mathers for around half ten, hangover dependant

and assuming we find the place ok, but looking forward to having a few more saintees to head thru with

[Saint O'Leith]

Hello, children of a lesser god....

Myself and the legend that is Saint Jason coincidentally met earlier today, in a certain Broughton Street shitehole and the outcome was...

Mathers shall be open from 10 o'clock on Saturday, purely for Saints fans (note I didn't say Saintees, and note it well), they will be putting on filled rolls wi bacon and stuff. Let's remember they don't need to do this at all and show our appreciation.

It looks like there shall be 2 trainloads of us going, some have morning commitments but rest assured, through the medium of modern telephonic communication we shall all convene at a point yet to be decided, and a ruddy good day shall be had by all.

So....get yer shitey arses to Mathers (not the west end one cos it's gash) just after 10, say a brief hello if you know nae kent and let's have a ruddy bloody good day!

[saint jason]

What he said.................................bring your sense of humour, and wrap up well.
jc

[John Bonham]

I'm hoping to join the train at Haymarket, you are all getting the 12.18 from Waverley aye? Where are you planning on heading when we get to Dunfy? the Elizabethan?

[saint jason]

Thanks for the shortie ormond boy.............'twas a little buttery right enough, but lovely dipped in Guiness:).

[Saint O'Leith]

Probably not the Elizabethan as it'll be packed, we shall be accompanied by a real live Fifer who has a knowledge of Dunf boozers so shall leave it to his considered judgement.

There will be a lot on the 12.18, also the 11.18. If you don't spot any Saints colours look for the cans of Tennents.

[Saint O'Leith]

Thanks for the shortie ormond boy.............'twas a little buttery right enough, but lovely dipped in Guiness:).

Oh my word yes, I shall be putting in a regular order if possible!

[saint jason]

Tennents? I recommend bringing along those bad boy hipflasks Kevin gave us in the Firey Bird.
OVD anyone?

[Noose76]

Hip flask at the football is a perfect day out, although I prefer brandy to warm my cockles

[Saint O'Leith]

Bring Farquhar. Don't bring Snowy.

St Jason has a life size white plastic rabbit. It's called Snowy.

[Nelly78]

2 more definites for tomorrow. Will see you all at Mathers, probably be there about 10.30
for bacon rolls and pints!

[saint jason]

Bring Farquhar. Don't bring Snowy.

St Jason has a life size white plastic rabbit. It's called Snowy.

[biffer]

Gentlemen

May I insinuate myself into your company tomorrow? I quite fancy a wee trip to Dunfermline and a couple of beers. I've been meaning to intoduce myself to some fellow Embra Saints for a wee while.

I reckon I should be able to make Mathers for about 11.

Was in a pretty bad car crash on the bypass last sunday and my neck is still killing me, don't think a day at the football will help much!

I'm ok, my mate's feeling the pain in his wallet though...

I did warn him about driving a Porsche 911 on 3rd party insurance!!!

Anyway, I'll try and make it if i can, but if not im sure it'll be a great day and if you've never met any other saintees in Edinburgh, this is as good a chance as any!

[StansTheMan]

How is the neck anyway? Never knew that you were contemplating not going.

[ryangordon86]

[meldy 60]

How many do you think from Edinburgh.

[Saint O'Leith]

How many do you think from Edinburgh.

Not sure tbh but I'd wager around 30.

[Broggy Man]

I wonder if we will all end up at inverkeithing around the same time I have a bunch coming from dundee

[Sainteesean]

if anyone recognises me. i was the wee fella going back to edinburgh with a lassie, sitting with the saints fans.

that dunfermline fella chasing after the train was funny :)

i gave someone my paper?

[Ginger Bakers rebel army]

Sainteesean, thats sounds interesting ,what happened?

[Sainteesean]

Sainteesean, thats sounds interesting ,what happened?

just me and the edinburugh saints were on the train where all the dunfermline fans were getting off, some hand signals were transferred between fans, and we were singing top of the league and your no and so fourth, so then the dunfermline fans ran as far as they could after the train shouting insults back and fourth (we were obviously replying).

not a very family friendly sight, but a right laugh anyway.

pars fans looked lke fannys.


edit to add (now i have your attention) - thanks for today, well done.

That was hilarious!

A brilliant day out yesterday folks, I will be returning to Mathers for a few more games in the future

[Linlithgow Saint]

Hey,

Keep me posted for your next Edinburgh Saints get together.

I've checked this site for many a year, but never stupidly joined. I have now!

I'd assume you all enjoyed a fine Saturday at EEP.

Top of the league - now time to stretch the lead.

:)

[ryangordon86]

Aye, good day out was had! 14 year old Pars fans seemed to think they had stepped straight out of green street!

Never made it to Mathers but it was a good day out on the train, probably more folk made the effort on Saturday than went to the semi on the train with us last season which says a lot.


'Mon the Saints!

[Nelly78]

Cracking day out made even sweeter by those 14 year old Dunfy fans chasing after the train giving us the wanker signs!!! Funny as feck!

Hopefully a few of my football games will fall victim to the weather, if not I'll see you all at the games over the festive period - train to Dingwall on the 3rd January anyone?

Just to change subject completely, had a cracking meal on Saturday night at a wee italian on Dundee Terrace called Piatto Verde. 3 courses, a litre of wine and coffees for £20 a head! Well worth a visit for any of the west side Saints!

[Thomas_sjfc]

A good day out, heres hoping for a few more like that between now and May.

The wee neds were funny as anything, i wonder they much they have exagerated the story by today when telling everyone at School about it.

[Baldy Marc]

Cracking day out! My voice still hasn't recovered yet!

There were some drunken discussion in Mathers about a bus to the Dundee game on the 29th.

I'm not organising it like but would defo take a seat.....

Over to you Saint of Leith........

Re Just to change subject completely, had a cracking meal on Saturday night at a wee italian on Dundee Terrace called Piatto Verde. 3 courses, a litre of wine and coffees for £20 a head! Well worth a visit for any of the west side Saints!

I've heard before it's good in there, will need to check it out. Good to see you and meet nicky at weekend. Looking forwards to Saturday already!

Nah, west side of Edinburgh! There's not too many of us about St T, most of our fellow Embra Saints appear to be East End Tinks! We're a dying breed.

Good to see everyone again at the weekend, cracking day as usual. I'll see you all when my football is next cancelled (or if I can think of another random excuse to call off!) I'll bring Nikki along again - her unbeaten record stretching back to THAT Hamilton game is still intact!

[Emma]

Hey I'm going to stay at home Sat night so dont need a lift back through after the game. Thanks to those that said I could come with them though

Howdy all.
Hope you all had a jolly time on Saturday. The good news is that I have had a wee tete a tete avec the boys from Mathers and they would be delighted to put a framed Saints shirt up on the wall. Anytime we have an away day they are prepared to open a wee bit early and put on some food (and perhaps a drink:)) for the happy throng of Saintees.
Furthermore all the reports I got from barstaff and punters was that you all did yourselves and the club proud both before and after the game in the big M.
Next time I will be there.......................on Saturday I was Somewhere Else.

Mon the Saints...............This Is What We Live For.

Absolutly brilliant news. I was there on saturday and really enjoyed their hospitality, It was fantastic of the bar staff to come in early for us. Seems us Embra Saints have found ourselves a matchday watering hole. Good news about the framed shirt as well, Which seasons?

Thats excellent news Jason.

[st Tommy]

what train are folk planning on getting to Clyde on Saturday?

Any news on a bus to Dundee? count me in if there is one heading up - alternatively a party style train carriage full of edinburgh based saintees would be good!

[saint jason]

The shirt is going up in Mathers soon - as indeed, everyfink crossed are we!
I will let you know details of the grand unveiling ceremony and who is going to cut the blue & white ribbon.
Refreshments, of course, may have to be taken.
See youse soon sports fans:).

Not sure if i'm going by train or car on Sat but if it's car there will probably be a free seat.

Dunno about the bus,Saint o' Leith seems to have gone in to hiding!!

Quick look at Megabus £12 for the return at the moment.....

Saint O'Leith is a very busy boy though. Not sure if it would be worth getting a bus to the City of Discovery. The Challenge Cup was different as it was on a sunday and public transport was not readily available. However, if anyone else wants to run a bus please do so. I am sure Mr O'Leith can give youse all the details (Charlie Irons I believe).
Remember we are an autonomous collective and an anarcho-syndicalist commune:). There are no leaders. Viva la revolution!

Would you prefer to have your own section in the supporters clubs area rather than posting in this thread? It's no bother to set up a section for you if you're going to make use of it.

Would be a good idea, would be better than trying to hunt through this one very long thread! Might also encourage other Edinburgh based fans to post and join us on our travels
