Edinburgh Saints Get Together

[Tractor Boy]

With pre season about to start thought it was about time to get this going again.

We have a list of already interested names and I know there are others interested. I suggest another get together in Mathers Bar.

For those that missed this last time. We are trying to get a group of Edinburgh based saints fans together and run a bus to selected games during the season. We had an initial meeting which was successful and some of us travelled together by train to the semi.

There seems to be loads of Edinburgh Saints out there so there is no reason that this shouldn’t work and we are not talking every week but selected games where there is sufficient interest. Even just meeting for a beer after a game now and again.

How about meeting in Mathers Bar (Broughton Street) either Fri 6/7 or Fri 13/7, depending on everyone’s availability. Appreciate this is over the holiday period so no worries if you can’t attend and we will keep you updated through this forum.

If you live in Perth and know any Edinburgh based supporters it would be great if you could bring this to their attention and ask them to get in touch.

What’s everyone’s thoughts??

[killinsaints]

[Saint O'Leith]

6th is good for me. QOS would be a great game to start with I think.

[auld reekie saint]

6th suits me.Can't make the 13th as will be in sunny Majorca.

[templeofsaints]

Might be able to make the 6th - but more likely the 13th.

[Euanwilkie]

i'd be interested. mite be able to tempt my brother

[Baldy Marc]

t in the park on the 6th but can make the week after.....

[SJC]

I fancy coming along as I can make either date, let me know whats decided and I'll see you all there.

I take my dad through to away matches but should be able to take the bus couple of times when it's running.

[phizzy007]

Not able to make any meetings as im not in Edin over the summer as im a student, but will be back after the summer and i am really intrested in getting the bus so if you could keep me updated it'd be great.

[biffer]

I can't make the 6th, may be able to make the 13th. Let me know what hapens either way

cheers

[Tractor Boy]

Some new interest on this thread which is great. Looks like the 6th is looking marginally more popular but we'll leave it a few days. If you can't make the pub we'll make sure the forum is kept up to date.

Get your dad involved too - the more the merrier.

Get working on your brother fella.

t in the park on the 6th but can make the week after.....

I have a vague memory of seeing you jumping around a few Friday's ago!

[HertsSaintee]

13th is better for me.

Aye, you were looking a bit worse for ware in Liquid rooms. I on the other hand was stone cold sober :roll:

[st Tommy]

I cant make it on either date to the meeting im afraid but def up for the bus to queens on the first day of the season!

[ormond boy]

I can make either date.

Cheers

[tallpaul723]

I should be able to make either date. Will try to bring along another couple of lads too.

[saintbear]

well done tractor boy,see u soon

[Saint O'Leith]

Seems to be a pretty even split between both dates, so just a thought, but why don't we have two meets? Always good to catch up and meet new faces as well, its generally a pretty good night in Mathers too. (Which begs the question, where is Saint Jason?)

[Zorro]

Hey ho TB!

My first post!

Cant make the 6th at T in the Park, 13th is fine tho.

[ryangordon86]

I can make the 9th, my old man and brother would also be interested in a bus

[Tractor Boy]

Sorry been offline lately. I will go to Mathers on the 6th from about 6pm but if it's too short notice I'll also go on the 13th.

If you can't make either it's no problem I'll post an update on here.

Bus to Queens on day 1 sounds like a real possibility and if there is a bit of interest I'll get things moving.

Hope to see some of you on Fri.

[killinsaints]

Ill be there about 6.00-6.30 depending on buses. See you then

[Euanwilkie]

i'll try and get there for 6 ish.

Good stuff Mark, see you then. Seems quite a few Edin Saints interested so i'm sure things will progress.

[auld reekie saint]

Up for Mathers tomorrow.
Should be there between 6.30 and 7pm.

[tallpaul723]

Yup I'll be there tomorrow too. Good work tractor boy.

[Saint O'Leith]

For those of you who don't know any of us, Tractor Boy is slightly tall, Killin Saints is the one whos pint you don't want to spill and Saint O'Leith is the ruggedly handsome one probably fighting off a battalion of ladies. I did say probably mind.

[Chansey]

working till late tomorrow, will try for the 13th, failing that i am also well up for a wee bus trip to dumfries.

[Euanwilkie]

are you allowed football colours on to make it easier?

[Saintkev]

A lassie I know has just moved to Edinburgh and is looking to join yourselves... I'm trying to get her e-mail address to Saint-Jase!

[saint jason]

Greetings! I have just got back from my holidays on Mull which consisted of a Carlsberg frenzy, and the ceromonial returning of my Saints scarf which I left at a mates house in Perth after the Celtic semi. His squaw washed it as well which was nice and there is STILL a whiff of Muirton pie grease on it.
Anyhoo, I will be up for a shandy or the like on the 13th after work.
All new folk welcome............I will supply the sheep on wheels (now with full working parts).
Hope to see some of you there.

Ahh Jason we all wondered where you were! See you on Fri.

Had a good night last Fri and I am looking into getting a bus organised for the QotS game. Trying for a 24 - 30 seater so as soon as I have one provisionally booked i'll post my e-mail address to get definite numbers. Seems plenty of interest.

Jason, try and get that Polish barmaid along. grrrr.

[crieffsaintandy]

Excellent night on Friday.

To save me e mailing you T B definently four seats needed for me, as away for two weeks

[Zorro]

Jason, try and get that Polish barmaid along. grrrr.


2nd that!

[saint jason]

The fragrant Angela from Krakow may well be in attendance on Friday eve. However her black belt in karate boyfriend Marek may also be kicking about - hopefully not in a literal sense!
Saint Kev has also let me know of a potential new member of our ever growing throng so it's onwards and upwards.

'Mon the Saints!

[biffer]

I'll try and pop into Mathers for one on Friday, but have another night out arranged so might not be able to make it. Hope to see a couple of you there

[Baldy Marc]

Tomorrow night still on then, yeah?

Yeah still on for a few pints. Not sure how many people can make it but the more the merrier. Anytime from 6.

I wont make it until half six but will defin be there. To avoid any confusion like we had last week, if you don't know any of us I am the one who is 6 foot 8.

[templeofsaints]

I should be there this time but thanks to an incredible desire to avoid working Sat morning, I might be a bit late.

[Nold]

Sounds good. Will try to make it along but very strappped for cash at the moment. Keep the thread going though as I will come along in the future.

[Euanwilkie]

i'll try an make it along. was a good laugh last week although felt like crap the next day at work!!

[Baldy Marc]

orry for the no show on Friday - boss insisted on me tagging along on a client night and I couldn't get away. hope it was a good night.

Count me in for the QOS bus if it's still on. will private you my email address...

No probs Marc. It was another really good night and some more new faces. The plan is for me to phone around bus companies tomorrow to try and get the best deal on a 24 seater and book this for the QotS game. I will then post my e-mail address to get definate names.

Seems plenty of interest,

[templeofsaints]

Stop depressing me - thanks to a US supplier being a total erse I was stuck in a conference call with the states until 7.30 Fri night, hence my no-show. Next time !!!

[Tractor Boy]

Had a nightmare trying to get a bus for the Queens game. Tried loads of companies and they either can't do it or are way too expensive. Apparantly they are all so busy because of the Edin festival.

I think we should hold off and try and get a bus for the Morton game in September. This way we can get definite numbers well in advance and get the right size of bus. Unless of course someone knows of a really cheap bus company???

[Nelly78]

I would be up for going on the bus in the future. Couldn't have made QoS game as got a wedding (in Paisley of all places).

Got an appointment with a specialist about a longstanding foot injury next week, so if I'm told to give up playing football my Saturdays will be free to start watching Saints again.

Hey TB try Earnside Coaches in Glenfarg 01577830360, small family run business a bit off the beaten track so they may be able to cut you a deal.

[tallpaul723]

Just a thought but since everyone is up for the trip to Dumfries and had all put the date aside we could all arrange to get the same train from Edinburgh to Lockerbie and then arrange for a bus to pick us up at that end (McEwans are the local bus folk doon there) to take us into Dumfries and back. At least that way it would still allow us to make the game especially given the interest from folk for the trip. Could be a bit more hassle than it's worth tho, but like I said, just a thought.

Good shout TP.
Tractor Boy and I have already discussed doing this and are both up for it. I have looked at train times. 0851 Edin - Carlisle (Arr 10.07) then 1055 Carlisle - Lockerbie (Arr 11.12) There are no direct Edin - Lockerbie trains in the morning. The service bus from Lockerbie to Dumfries goes every half hour (on the hour and half hour). and costs about £3.00 - takes 20 - 25 minutes.
Alternatively 09.51 Edin - Carlisle (arr 11.08) then 12.18 Carlisle - Dumfries (arr 12.55)
Coming back either the 17.30 Dumfries - Carlisle (arr 18.08) then 18.58 Carlisle - Edinburgh (arr 20.21). Or bus to Lockerbie and catch the same train there at 19.16 Any thoughts

[Hazel1884]

Locharbriggs Social Club for your pre amtch banter if you are early enough Edinburgh Saintees! ;)

[Saint O'Leith]

Ormond Boy, your knowledge of our nations railway network never ceases to amaze me!
Would certainly be interested for a wee day out as long as the fares aren't ridiculously priced.

[saint jason]

Also, an interesting travel suggestion to Kirkcaldy on the Challenge Cup draw thread from Rabster64. It's much less bovver with an hover etc.:)

[ormond boy]

Son of a railwayman - say no more - will get prices - should be a good day out

[biffer]

Guys, you might be quicker on the bus

http://www.planajourney.co.uk/timetables/Timetables/Borders/Macewans_Coaches_100_O_T.htm

edinburgh 930 Dumfries 1210

last bus back 1810

That timetable might be out, but I'm sure McEwan's will give you up to date times if you give them a call

[Saint O'Leith]

Son of a railwayman

That must be a Johnny Cash song!

[ormond boy]

Myself, Tractor Boy, Zorro and hopefully Saint o' Leith will be on the 0951 train Edin to Carlisle on Sat. then 1218 train Carlisle to Dumfries. £21.00 return if you book by tomorrow (Friday) Return 1730 to Carlisle then 1858 Carlisle to Edin. Anyone else up for this

[saintbear]

Gordon See U In The Wallace/witherspoons City Centre @1-30

[Saintkev]

Gordon See U In The Wallace/witherspoons City Centre @1-30

Aye, Bear will be there with a bevvy of beauties... grrrrrrr!!

[biffer]

Can't make tomorrow, but thought I'd let you guys know you can get Saints Shirts in Edinburgh - Football Nation Llothian Road has them in stock 36 notes. Guy said to me it was the second one he sold today...

own up, who was it?

[MUZZ]

Aye, Bear will be there with a bevvy of beauties... grrrrrrr!!

i'll be there too with mr.bear.

[Saint O'Leith]

I feel a wee apres-Coagie-beating celebration in Mathers on Saturday night is in order.

[saint jason]

I feel a wee apres-Coagie-beating celebration in Mathers on Saturday night is in order.

Seconded!

[ormond boy]

I will try and be there

[David]

I'm back working in Edinburgh as of next week, so I'll try and attend the next Friday night get-together... Someone just shove me on the last train up the road [templeofsaints usually manages to persuade me when the last pint has arrived!]

[Baldy Marc]

Where / when is everyone drinking before the game?

[templeofsaints]

Just as long as I don't get talked into "one more at the bar in Waverley" :)

I'll make the next one as well - my office is switching to the delights of a warehouse in Annandale St which is slightly handier for Mathers next week

[Nold]

I take it some of us are heading through to F*fe on Sunday. Which train are you planning on getting. I have spotted one at midday which gets us in at 1230 which as I recall coincides with pub opening time. Any takers?

A champion plan. I believe the train is at 11.55 and is actually a lot cheaper than the bus. Also, we have a Fifer travelling with us who will be able to show us the glittering delights of the Dunf and translate if necessary (ya hoor sir!).

Let's hope for a good turn out as YOUR SAINTEES NEED YOU!!:)

Any other Edin Saints up for this?

[Saint O'Leith]

I'll be there, oh yes.

[Nold]

Is the 1155 the train we are planning on getting then. I will be on my own so just trying to work out the best plan of attack and to find some drinking buddies for pre-game entertainment such as it is in Dunfermline .

[auld reekie saint]

11.55 train
Should be up for this

[killinsaints]

count me in .what time are we meeting at waverely?

[Dunfermline Saint]

Think the supporters bus(es) are heading to The Elizabethan before the game. It's right next to Dunfermline Queen Margaret train station (<5 min walk) and only about 10-15 mins walk away from East End Park. Either that or get off at Dunfermline Town and walk up the hill to find a pub in the town (although that's mainly where the home fans head!) If anyone wants directions to anywhere let me know and I will try and oblige!

[Saint O'Leith]

Should be a good turnout. Cheers Dunf Saint, our Fife companion wants to show us a couple of pubs in town, then I think the Elizabethan was mentioned. Come and join in if you see us!

Does anyone know what time the pub in the train station opens on a Sunday? I know it opens well early through the week. If its not gonna be open I suppose I'll head along for about half 11.

And we can all celebrate afterwards by watching the fireworks! (Or getting howling in Mathers.)

[ormond boy]

11.55 train
Should be up for this

See you at Waverley then about 11.30.

[Tractor Boy]

I'll be there. Meet you all at the station. Obligatory can of Tennents for the choo choo of course.

[Tractor Boy]

[Nold]

Any suggestions for a date for the next get together?

[Tractor Boy]

Not sure mate but I think a few are planning to get the train to Greenock. Unfortunately I'm away on a stag doo so will miss this one but i'm sure someone will post what train they're getting nearer the time.

[Saint O'Leith]

So who's up for the delights of Greenock then? Myself and Killin Saints going, Ormond Boy have you got our train times sorted yet?

[ormond boy]

So who's up for the delights of Greenock then? Myself and Killin Saints going, Ormond Boy have you got our train times sorted yet?

How's about 11.00 from Waverley - time for a shandy or two in Weegieland then train to Greenock. They run every half hour from Central to Cartsdyke - the station nearest Cappielow. If so meet at at Waverley 10.30

[Saint O'Leith]

Sounds good to me, see you then.

[Baldy Marc]

So who's up for the delights of Greenock then? Myself and Killin Saints going, Ormond Boy have you got our train times sorted yet?

I can't do this one - I'm going to a festival in Ullapool, ingeniously called Loopallu...

[Nold]

I can't go either. Too close to the wrong side of payday for me!

[Zorro]

I cant make it to Morton either, im going go karting! Extra chanting required in my absence.

[auld reekie saint]

Sorry can't make full day away either as my wife is working all day so services required for childminding duties.

[Saint O'Leith]

I think after Saturday nights nonsense that even mentioning the words "St Johnstone" may be a barring offence in Mathers. I do believe we hated Dundee a fair bit.

[ormond boy]

I feel a trip to the Challenge Cup final is on the cards - looks like the 25th Nov. at Dens - who's up for it

[Nold]

Definately. Count me in.

[Tractor Boy]

I feel a trip to the Challenge Cup final is on the cards - looks like the 25th Nov. at Dens - who's up for it

Up for it. Would be good to get a squad of us.

[Saint O'Leith]

Have booked the Monday off already with an option on the Tuesday!

[templeofsaints]

Should be up for it as well.

[crieffsaintandy]

Up for the day out add another four, are you thinking about a bus or all going on the train?

[Tractor Boy]

No idea mate but see what numbers we have

[killinsaints]

count me in , my brother as well

[Baldy Marc]

Count me in - Who's going to Livi on Saturday?

[Saint O'Leith]

Marc, there should be at least 2 of us getting the train through to Livi for a wee bevvy. Will let you know the details when I have them.

[Baldy Marc]

Good stuff ! Getting excited already !

[Scobby_SJFC]

Alright guys has the Edinburgh Saints, been set up yet? Just asking as I am trying to get numbers currently for the Glasgow/West coast, going to the fianl and hopefully beyond.
Just wondered how you guys got it running?

[phizzy007]

me and a few mates are getting the train from edinburgh to livi. what time is everyone planning on going at?

[Saint O'Leith]

Phizzy, think we're gonna get the bus, train line to livi North seems to be closed, will post later when I know the exact plan.

Scobby, we still haven't put a bus on - that was the original plan, but after the first meeting a lot of us just started travelling to games together, it was more a social thing really, had some great days out so far.

[Thomas_sjfc]

Anyone else goin from edinburgh to livi today?

Whats the crack with train being off?

[Emma]

Hey just wondering whats happening with the edinburgh saints? Just am in Edinburgh and support saints...am up for any get togethers and coming to the matches. My friends aren't really into football, its just my dad that is and he's in Perth so if you let me know whats going on that'd be great!
Hope you've all cheered the boys on today!
Emma:)

[Saintkev]

See, dead easy Emma! :wink:

I met a few Edinburgh boys yesterday, so I'm sure they'll take you under their wing!

[Emma]

It was! It took me forever to realise that the edinburgh page had more than just one page...***. Got there though! You must have cheered extra hard on sat, it was a good result! Am looking forward to getting to more matches now! Cheers kev

Your welcome to join us any time. There is actually quite a few of us but we all seem to take our own transport. We have gone on mass (maybe 10) to the odd game by bus or train and had a bevvy. I think we'll all be getting together for the big final so get yersel involved!!!

[killinsaints]

have we decided what means of transport for the cup final yet ? there seems to be a fair bit of interest for this game a bus maybe?

[Saint O'Leith]

a bus is maybe not a bad idea tbh. damn, we might have to meet up for a beer to discuss it!

[killinsaints]

sounds like a good idea how did you get on after the livi game?

[Emma]

Sounds good, i will get involved! I like the idea of discussing the cup final plans over a beer...il be the one with black hair (not blonde):-P i just have moments where im a bit slow ***

[Saint O'Leith]

sounds like a good idea how did you get on after the livi game?

sorry big yin, missed your post...errrr, we all got reekin' and made a noise! Just like every other time I suppose.

For everyone else...really think a bus to Coagieville might be the best idea. I'll give Tractor Boy a shout as I know he's had quotes before, watch this space.

[Baldy Marc]

Argh...!! I've got a wedding to go to on Saturday so won't be able to get to the game, and more importantly, get a voucher for the final ! Any season ticket holders want to help me out???

[Saint O'Leith]

Right folks....

Been on the phone to a few coach companies and I've got us a pretty good deal for the cup final, will def. be no more than £10 a head, could be as little as 7 depending on numbers.
SO....if everybody who's interested (and PLEASE, only if its definite as I really dont want to be out of pocket) could post up here how many places they need asap we can get this going. Told the guy I would get back to him by next Monday and he was fine with that. (we actually had a wee blether about Kevin James!)
St Jase & Mr registered-but-not-posted-yet, I dont think I'll be in the pub this week, could you see if any of the Saints glory hunters and the Pars lot want to join us?
Oh and Andy I sent you a p.m with my number for future boozing.

So get the names up folks, no need to thank me, large OVD will suffice!

Great work sir. I am in for sure. Put myself and old fella down and a potential sister.

[saint jason]

Good stuff! I trust this isn't a 'Feldy berry bus you have secured then Mr O'Leith?
I will work on the troops ASAP.
Oh, and Tractor Boy, good luck to your folks in attempting to get you a sister in a month. :wink:

[saint jason]

"............take the First Bus to Coagsville" to paraphrase The Monkees.

[crieffsaintandy]

Up for a good day out, earlier start the better

Davy have PM the number for other beveridges.

[ormond boy]

Great work sir. I am in for sure. Put myself and old fella down and a potential sister.

[Euanwilkie]

[tallpaul723]

Great work Saint O Leith. Count me in as a definite please

[Baldy Marc]

I'm a defo (so long as I can get a ticket!)

[auld reekie saint]

Count me in for the biggest cup final in years.(Who needs the Champions league)

[Emma]

Hey count me in for two places on the bus pls, will maybe be 3-il let you know. Thanks!

[Nold]

From reading this thread, it has become increasingly clear that there should perhaps be some form of meeting to further discuss travel arrangements? Now I'm just going to throw a suggestion out here and see who likes it but how about Mathers tomorrow with perhaps a beery accompaniment?

[macmerrysaint]

I would be up for a beer tomorrow, and also want a seat on the bus for me and my laddie.

Andy

[Al C]

Hows the West Coast bus looking? We could do with borrowing some of the Edinburgh ones for it!!!

[Saint O'Leith]

Going well folks....

I'm in Feldy all weekend so I won't be online til Monday (as they dont have electricity up there, far less computers) so if anyone knows anyone else who may be interested let's get their names, as I'm booking on Tuesday.

No doubt see some of you on Saturday.

[Capital Saint]

I tried to get to Mathers on Friday but time (and the drink) got the better of me ;-)
Can I please put myself down as a definite?

[Nelly78]

Might be another 1, possibly 2, here. Just need to confirm a few things and hope we all get tickets. Will let you know asap.

[Thomas_sjfc]

On a completley different topic!! Is anyone up for a trip to cogiesville this weekend for the dundee game??

[templeofsaints]

I'll be on the train Sat - planning for the midday train from Waverley

[Tractor Boy]

Probably just taking the car to the Dundee game. Save myself for the next trip to Dens!

[Emma]

Hey just confirming numbers for the bus, two seats wld be great thanks! Heading thru to dundee on sat, going with my friend who supports man utd-am trying to convert her, what are the chances...?!

[ryangordon86]

*** if any game could convince her, it'd have to be one versus Scumdee, purely for the atmosphere, cos you cant really compare the football!

[Saint O'Leith]

Howdy all

Bus is now booked, we will be leaving from outside the Conan Doyle, provisional time of departure is midday but we should probably leave earlier to get in some pintage somewhere, any suggestions?

There are still a few places available, I've got 28 names but a 33 seater is the same price as a 29 so I just booked that. For those of you who I haven't met I'll pm you my moby number nearer the time in case any contact is needed.

Mad for it.

[killinsaints]

well done leith hopefully a memorable day out bring it on!!

[Emma]

Sorted!! thanks! I think we shld head thru a bit earlier if possible and get some drink in us, make the most of our trip! also the bridge is a bit of a nightmare...

[ormond boy]

Good man Leith. Got my match tickets sorted so all set for a guid day out.

[saint jason]

Sorted!! thanks! I think we shld head thru a bit earlier if possible and get some drink in us, make the most of our trip! also the bridge is a bit of a nightmare...

Sadly we will not be touching the demon drink as we are all part of the Mathers Temperance Society....did nobody mention that to you.:wink:

[crieffsaintandy]

Spot on Leith, the earlier the better!! Could stop at some exotic town in Fife for a pit stop!!

[HertsSaintee]

Spot on Leith, the earlier the better!! Could stop at some exotic town in Fife for a pit stop!!

Methil. Oh wait that would be "the pits" stop. :***:

Herts

[Emma]

Was thinking it might be good to have a few drinks in dundee, purely so we can meet up with other supporters heading through from Perth? Oh and what happened yesterday?!!! My friend who supports Man Utd wasnt best impressed!

[killinsaints]

does anyone know of any stops on the outskirts of perth/dundee that would take the bus kids and all .on the way up on saturday we passed a few places that might take the bus like bridge of earn/ glencarse/the two on the outskirts of dundee so get the thinking caps on and lets get somewhere lined up

[Nelly78]

If there are any seats left can you put me down for 1 please? Cheers.

[Saint O'Leith]

No problem Nelly. Still another 2 left if anyone needs them.

[Emma]

Will Mathers be seeing some Scotland madness on Saturday? I've not been before so dont know if its got the big sceen...I'm really excited about it already-really hope we do it!!

[saint jason]

Oh, I expect quite a few of your fellow travellers will be in for the game tomorrow. I would suggest getting there early as it might be a tad busy by kick off!
We will be the ones chewing straw, wearing tweed and voting Conservative.....in order that the Dunfermline fans can recognise us.:wink:

[Saint O'Leith]

Hey all

Just want to post the list for the bus - if I have omitted anyone, which is very possible, give me a shout. Likewise, if anyone cant make it let me know also.

Tractor Boy +2
CrieffSaintAndy + 3
Ormond Boy + 2 (and another 2 maybe)
Killin Saints + bro
St Jason + The Claw
TallPaul
Baldy Marc
Auld Reekie Saint
Emma + 1
MacMerry Saint + 1
Capital Saint
Nelly
Wellsy

So theres still a few seats left if anyone needs them. As it stands we're still leaving at 12 but I'll phone next week and make it a bit earlier, will post exact time when I have it. Also we still need a place for refreshments so if anyone can help that would be good - I'm on the lash all weekend so can't be arsed.

[The ghost of Jim Morton]

You might try the Glencarse Hotel ( 01738 860206). Has a kids licence I believe and I know they have taken footie fans before

[ryangordon86]

How many seats are left exactly? Is there 4 available?

[ormond boy]

Hi S.O.L
Only myself & Zorro now. (Andy has to work Sunday ) so I now have a spare ticket if anyone wants it. (Bob Shankly Stand - £15.00). I was assured on Saturday that the 'two maybes' will be there - they just need to know the time etc.
Refreshments - Perth!!!

[saint jason]

Two more to be added to the happy throng if possible. Meeting the pair of them at Inveralmond if that is still the plan?

[Saint O'Leith]

Right, we're sorted. Leaving at 11, just along from the Conan doyle pub so if everyone could be there for about quarter to that would be good. Saintbear has very generously offered us hospitality at the Almondbank Inn on the way up, Tractor Boy has it sorted I think.

For those of you who dont have it i'll pm you my mobile number in case of any problems (if you need to get in touch though send me a text, I tend to ignore numbers I dont recognise).

So no drinking on Saturday night people, I expect you all to be bright and breezy and ready for a jolly old sing-song.

[ryangordon86]

Good stuff, should be a good day! looks like i'll be having a beer with my Sunday morning breakfast!!! Lets hope the result goes our way then we can all have a celebratory drink in Mathers!

How much is the bus costing per person?

[Saint O'Leith]

According to my quick calculation it'll be £9.83!

Will work it out on the day in case of any call-offs etc

[auld reekie saint]

Great work SOL.
Should be a great day.
Should be the biggest Cup win in the Saints history?

[Emma]

Brilliant, thanks for that! Should be great, cu sunday! Mon the saints

[super_dave99]

Sorry if this is a bit late - If you have any spaces left I'd be happy to take one..

[Saint O'Leith]

Dave - pretty sure there is one seat left, will need to make a phonecall tonight to make sure, will post early tomorrow,

Jason, those 2 are fine.

[saintbear]

Gordon catch you and your boys on sunday.Also in attendance--CHIPS 4TEA/MUZZ'/DMILNE SAINT/SOCCER CHIC,have a good day

[killinsaints]

is anyone going to mathers on saturday afternoon for a few beers just to get in the mood for sunday. i will be going for a few about 3ish if not see you all bright and breezy on sunday!!!

[Nold]

A few Saturday warmup beers sounds like a good plan

[Euanwilkie]

i'll come along for a couple. being a student i dont need much of an excuse!

[Baldy Marc]

I'm going to Martin Wisharts on Saturday night as a warmup. Sorry, going to cost me an arm and a leg so need to use the bragging rights as much as I can !!

[Saint O'Leith]

Won't be out Saturday, want to keep a clear head for Sunday. However I have absolutely no reason not to go out and get howling tonight. Therefore I will do so.

[MUZZ]

see you's all tomorrow!

[killinsaints]

what a day out thanks to the organisation of el presidente sol and tractor boy and abig thanks to all at the almondbank inn for the food the raffle prizes thats what its about. hope you all have mega hangovers as im off to work now oh the joys el presidente we salute you!!!!

[Tractor Boy]

Quality day and some very drunk singers come 1 am. All seemed up for a repeat trip somewhere in the future.

Thanks to SaintBear for the hospitality at The Almondbank - SUPERB!!!!!

[Emma]

Damn i missed the drunk singers! Was a great day, thanks to everyone involved. First the challenge cup, next....come on the saints!

[auld reekie saint]

Aye it was a great day.
Thanks to Sol,Tractor boy and the Almonbank pub
Imagine how great a day we will have when we eventually lift the Scottish Cup.

[ormond boy]

Aye it was a great day.

Fully agree - a great day had by all and well done to those who made it happen.

A BIG THANK YOU TO THE EDINBURGH SAINTS FOR COMING TO THE BADGERS

[killinsaints]

i think we are getting the 12.30 train from waverely then out in weegieland for a few beers then no doubt hq mathers

[Hazel1884]

Monday was a feckin nightmare though!

Wasn't it for everyone?!?!? I don't know if any of use were still in town when i bumped into bear etc later on!

What a day and night though, was ill until Wednesday at least, still not 100%. Mon the alcohol!!!

Bear you are a legend! Thanks very much for your hospitality, top and the bubbly! It was the perfect start to a perfect day!

[Emma]

The big question is...Davy, hows your son??!! Mind look after him if you's end up at the Morton match

[Saintkev]

Any of the Edinburgh Saintees (or anyone else for that matter) parked in the Multi-Storey at the Castle today?

I was through for a conference in the morning and when I came back to my car there was a car with a Saints scarf on the parcel-shelf and a Saints numberplate... small world!!

[Thomas_sjfc]

Anyone off to Hamilton on Saturday??

Anyone know how you get there is there a direct train or do you have to go to Glasgow and change?

[ryangordon86]

Does anyone have an idea where the training top my old man won in the raffle has got to? ***

[Al C]

You will need to get to Glasgow Central mate. Low level trains leave for Hamilton West every 20 mins or so. About two mins from the ground.

[Al C]

You will need to get to Glasgow Central mate. Low level trains leave for Hamilton West every 20 mins or so. About two mins from the ground.

Although saying that and thinking about it there is probably a direct train to Motherwell from Edinburgh. Would need to change at Motherwell but that would be easier than going to Glasgow.

[Thomas_sjfc]

Cheers had a look at traveline site, it seems traveling via Weegie land is the easiest option. The Motherwell option looks far more complicated

[Tractor Boy]

Does anyone have an idea where the training top my old man won in the raffle has got to? ***

Confession time here Ryan. Put safely behind the bar when we got back to the pub and then retrieved at the end of the night. Somehow in my drunken state it didn't make it home with me!

My fault though mate so I'll make sure I get you another one.

[Saint O'Leith]

Right...none of us were going to go to EEP tomorrow,but after a silly night on the lash we're all going to go. Whoever else is up for a wee jolly please join in. And if you have train times that would be a bonus also. And bear in mind El Presidente will probably still be howling.

Been warned.

[Dunfermline Saint]

Timetable for the trains here (if any of you get up before 3!)

http://www.firstgroup.com/scotrail/tt/1197159961-fife%20circle%20dec.pdf

[Saint O'Leith]

Cheers D S.

Meeting in the Guildford for a couple of pints of Gurning Chimp before getting the 13.18 if anyone wants to come along.

[Emma]

Hey I'm going to be home for the hamilton match as its near my birthday and they'll be some presents in it for me! I'll be in perth on fri, but going back to edinburgh straight after the match if any one wants a lift?
Also seem to be making the roadtrip to dingwall.....prop staying in Inverness sat night but if can take anyone up

[Emma]

The message i just wrote does not make much sense!
Basically if anyone wants a lift up to dingwall on sat it looks im going...
and will be coming back to edinburgh straight after the hamilton match on the 16th if any wants a run down the road?

[Saintkev]

Happy birthday Hen... not bored of the wee city yet and missing Perth!???:wink:

[Tractor Boy]

Anyone up for the train to Dingwall? Checked prices and they are up on last week. Cheapest I can see is £41 return. Still think i'm going to get it though as I fancy another sesh watching the saints.

[Thomas_sjfc]

Wasnt going to bother but now thinking about going saturday. What train is anyone else getting?

[Baldy Marc]

I'm tempted but weather is meant to be bloody cold this weekend so might be an early pitch inspection.

[Nelly78]

I'm gonna have to give it a miss as I've started (trying) to play football again on Saturdays.

Shame as I've not been for an away day in Dingwall yet.

[Tractor Boy]

Wasnt going to bother but now thinking about going saturday. What train is anyone else getting?

8.20 from Waverley. Not booking train tickets till Fri afternoon until we see if the game is in doubt.

Baldy Marc I'm tempted but weather is meant to be bloody cold this weekend so might be an early pitch inspection.

Get involved Marc!!!

[killinsaints]

now that the game is off any one fancy going for a beer at mathers this afternoon to get over having no football this afternoon

[ormond boy]

now that the game is off any one fancy going for a beer at mathers this afternoon to get over having no football this afternoon

Would have joined you but for the fact myself, tractor boy and my two siblings were at Kircaldy on the train when we found out the game was off. Were totally p£ssed off when we heard but we carried on to Inverness regardless and had a richt guid day oot.

[Emma]

Happy birthday Hen... not bored of the wee city yet and missing Perth!???:wink:

Thanks, its on the 14th...not sure i like getting older though! I'm not missing the wee city much-got saints stickers on my car so that makes me think of perth. Get abuse from drivers sometimes though-not sure if its my driving or support of the mighty saints though....haha

[biffer]

Who's planning to go to the QF? Might there be sufficient numbers for a bus? I've got a couple of mates who are fake saints fans, we could even look into a combined bus.

[Thomas_sjfc]

Still up for Greenock on Saturday anyone???

What times the train??

[Tractor Boy]

Still up for Greenock on Saturday anyone???

What times the train??

12 o'clock train? Anyone else up for it?

Good idea mate but count me out for the Midden game as I'm in Cardiff for the weekend. Bad planning me thinks.

[biffer]

Might have to count myself out for the Saints game too as I've just been offered a free ticket for the Calcutta Cup game

Decisions, decisions

[killinsaints]

see you at waverly on saturday few beers for the train !!

[Tractor Boy]

see you at waverly on saturday few beers for the train !!

Goes without saying. See you Sat.

[Saint O'Leith]

12 o'clock it is. I'm guessing Tractor Boy is hitting his 350 yard drives on Saturday morning, so if anyone wants to start the party earlier I'll be in the Guildford from 11. Call me all the jakeys you want!

Will have a Pot Noodle in the Norseman in your absence! Might give McGinns a miss this time round though...

[auld reekie saint]

Looking forward to tomorrow.
I'll be there for 12 o'clock

[ormond boy]

Will have a Pot Noodle in the Norseman in your absence! Might give McGinns a miss this time round though...

OOOOhh Pot Noodle - I can taste it right now - now i'm glad i'm not goin'. Beware of the bearded man with the axe in there - his lager was sh£te

[Baldy Marc]

Anyone going through tonight?

[Nold]

Was considering it but haven't check out the train times yet.

[macmerrysaint]

I'll be driving through leaving East Lothian at 1800Hrs (parents night at the school) before racing through. I have space for three if anyone wants picked up close to the bypass somewhere.

[Baldy Marc]

I've negotiated an early finish from work so planning to get the 5pm / 5.15pm from haymarket. cheers for offer though.

[ryangordon86]

How about we all get an early train through and have a session, no need for a bus! the train will do nicely!

[saint jason]

I believe Ormond Boy knows of a place that does exceptional croissants......:wink:

[jinky]

Would that be the Iron Horse?

I expect it to be full of saintees by 9.30.

Woooooooooohooooooooooo here we go again!

[ryangordon86]

I was there last time, thought i could get away with buying one croissant and 3 drinks... nope... got 3 croissants

[ormond boy]

I was there last time, thought i could get away with buying one croissant and 3 drinks... nope... got 3 croissants

Sacre Bleu - no drinks. Shame on you.
It was an upmarket boozer at 0930hrs that day because it was full of Saints fans - mostly from Auld Reekie!!

[Dunfermline Saint]

Any word on an Edinburgh bus for the semi final? I'd be interested in heading through for it if there was one being booked (plus 2 or 3 others).

[SJC]

I'm interested in a bus from Auld Reekie for the Semi Final.

[ryangordon86]

Why dont we all meet up early on and have a bevvy on the train

Its a shame the date was moved as i was planning on having a party, watching the Calzaghe fight then heading thru early doors for the game

[Tractor Boy]

Any word on an Edinburgh bus for the semi final? I'd be interested in heading through for it if there was one being booked (plus 2 or 3 others).

We were talking about just getting the train and having a right good bevvy. You should still head through with us though. Thinking about 11 o'clcok or something as pubs wont open till 12 cos it's a sunday. Would be good if we could get a whole squad together like the Challenge Cup Final.

[Emma]

We're getting the train through too i think and starting early. i like the idea of there being a squad of us. If you let me know the plans we'll come with. The day after is a public holiday so bring it on!

[Nelly78]

Even though it's a Sunday, does the Iron Horse not open earlier than that?

I'll probably be at my girlfriend's in Paisley the night before the game, so will be getting the train into Glasgow from there. Definitely up for some beers before though, so let me know where you're going and I'll meet you there. Will be getting the train back through to Edinburgh after though.

[Saint O'Leith]

Just checked, Iron Horse is half 12 on Sundays.

However...according to their website, the Counting House opens at 9 seven days a week. It may be a case of being able to drink as long as you buy food so this should be investigated.

[ryangordon86]

Counting House is a "spoooooooons" pub and i think they only serve food and coffee :(

[biffer]

I'm going from Edinburgh too, would like to go through and get a couple of beers - would rather be part of a group than on my tod, so hopefully I can join the rest of these embra saints?

Pretty sure it'll be a dry train though - usually is when there's football on.

Think it's only direct trains from Perth that will be dry.. .here's hoping anyway !

[ryangordon86]

Carry Oot!!! :D

[Saint O'Leith]

Right folks, reckon the deal is this....11 a.m train to Glasgow, so we should endeavour to meet up in Waverley around 10.30, that way we can hopefully get cheap group tickets sorted out, and also ascertain if it's a dry train or no! (It wasn't for the semi last year but we did leave at 8 o'clock).
Get into Glasgow just before 12 and probably head for what used to be Buddha in Shawlands..that way the travelling is done and we can concentrate on the important stuff. (Its only about 10 mins walk to Hampden).
I've heard rumours that some of our number may be bringing bottles of coke laced with rum in case the train is dry... I could never condone such behaviour.
Get involved y'all - gonna be a belter.

[Nelly78]

I'll see you all in the pub formerly known as Buddha then. Starting to get a wee bit excited about the match now!

Perfect, I've got to take the wee one to Livingston to my Mums on Sunday morning so the 4 of us can get the 9.54 train to town, arriving at 10.24! Lets say outside Coopers in the station for 10.30 with bottles of "juice" in hand:p

How many of us are getting this train thru out of interest? Theres me +3

Oh Lordy! I feel a big day out is in the offing. :p

[Dunfermline Saint]

Excellent idea SO'L.

Think I will be by myself on this train through (family work commitments) so it will be great if there are plenty other Saints fans to mix with!

P.S. Will prob be heading from Dunfermline/Inverkeithing on the train. Would I be best meeting up @ 10.30 and getting a Glasgow ticket then rather than paying all at once??

[Dunfermline Saint]

Just checked timetable. Only trains from Dunf/Inverk are 11.30/8.30! Does the Waverley pub serve anything early as I can only get to Waverley at 9.00!

[ryangordon86]

You'll get breakfast mate but that'll be it. BYOB!

[Dunfermline Saint]

You'll get breakfast mate but that'll be it. BYOB!

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?!?!

Should be cheaper buying the glasgow ticket in group of 4. Usually get it 4 for the price of 2 so just wait till waverley mate.

Looks like there will be a fair squad on SUn. Totally mad for it.
