Ormond Day vs. QoS 06/11/08

[SaintDougie]

Calling all Edinburgh Saints

Now that the things are getting into motion with regards to Ginger Baker's Singing and Dancing post. I was wondering if people would be up for organising a bus up to Perth for the QoS game?

As im sure your all more than aware, Mr Baker has been in talks with the club in which have agreed to open the Ormond stand for our wee, sorry big party.

As like the Dunfy away game im sure all of you will want to come along so I was thinking if we try and organise a bus or coach up, it may be cheaper for all of us in the long run.
Meeting obviously at the new Edinburgh Saints headquarters, Mathers bar.

Any thoughts?

Between the lot of you, arrange a time for departure from Edinburgh, and book your train ticket now. It'll cost buttons if you buy 2 singles.

it's currently £4.25 for a single.

I'm trying to get it off work as we speak, We might be better all booking train tickets in advance, cos last time the bus wisnae exactly cheap, we could get up early for a few beers and get in the party mood on the choo choo

Aye that sounds like a good plan, Just checked out the prices of coaches etc and they aint cheap. We would need definate numbers to go ahead with that.

Im well up for heading down to Mathers for an early start again then fire up to the fair city on the old choo choo. Sounds like there's gonna be a good bit sing song, party banter in the 208 beforre the game.:p

Think you will find the bus for the Challenge Cup Final worked out at less than a tenner a head which is actualy a lot less expensive than the Megabus who have recently hiked their prices up. We did give the driver a tip mind.......dinnae be a *** was one of them:).

Was it as cheap as that? i thought it was more like £15 odds?

Cheapest I managed to find in the Burgh was about £15 - £20 a head,
If it is only a tenner it might be something worth looking into again.
You remember what company that was with?

[st Tommy]

it would be pretty good if we could all head up together - get the vocal chords warmed up with several pints and get into party atmosphere!
Mon the saints!

I'm up for the early start at Mathers again but this time I think I'll take is easy after the dunfermline effort. Took me 2 days to recover :)

Aye me too, I ended up going to a party in Leith till 3am, after starting to drink at 10 in the morning in mathers. Not really been up for drinking since then I felt that bad.

Ach screw it I'll be more than rubbered by the time I get to McDiarmid for QoS.

Cheers neebs, I'll have a wee look into that.

[Saint O'Leith]

Charlie Irons are great to deal with, that's who I used for the Challenge Cup last season, no complaints. And the guy I spoke to on the phone there knew Kevin James!

[biffer]

I'll be up for this one. Beers and breakfast in Mathers and then up to the Ormond stand, quality.

Tell me about it! Was in Mathers at 10:30, went to Mathers after the game and left about 11. Tried to walk home to Livingston! Eventually got a taxi from Sighthill and got home about 3 :confused:

[st Tommy]

its meant to be my works xmas night in fife the night before, with everyone staying over in the hotel - very much intend on making the ormond stand (never been in there before, all other 3 but no the ormond) so will no doubt make my own way there!

[Saint O'Leith]

I've already got my transport booked for that day so will be in the usual spot in Muirton Suite from the back of one.

[Baldy Marc]

I'll be staying up there for the weekend so probably best i make my own way up.
