Kilgour Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just ordered mine today but went for £24 tickets in deferrence to my wife. Lady said plenty tickets available. Half empty Hampden at best . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDougie Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 not decided if im going yet but if i am, i'll either take the train or drive through after work Sound I'll probably be joining you. If you're driving I'll happily give you some petrol money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I got my tickets in the post today so now it's what train to get? When is everyone heading through? I'm off all day (and the next day and the next day and so on until the following Tuesday!) so name the time (roughly lunchtime sounds a decent starting time) and let the festivities begin!!!

geoff was right!! Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I was thinking about the 14:56 from Edinburgh to Glasgow Central which gets in at 16:11, but just getting on the train at Livingston at 15:15. Go for something to eat and a few beers then get a train from Central to Mount Florida. A return for me is only £9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds a decent plan - those that want a couple extra can head for some in/near Waverley/Haymarket. Return should be about £15 or so if it is a cheap day return.

If you get that train then ill jump on at Uddingston after dropping the car off at Claires. Otherwise, ill probably just meet you in Glasgow. Got my 1/2 day of work booked for the Wed afternoon and Thurs morning! Bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff was right!! Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 What time of train are we looking for the return journey I'm going for the 23:06 train, no doubt it'll be busy getting back to Central station and with the chance of extra time etc i'll go for this one. If i'm early then a few pints at the station to celebrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This train makes 5 stops before Glasgow. The 14:25 and 15:26 both make 17 stops including Uddingston I think. That's one of the reasons I picked the 14:56 so probably better to meet you in Glasgow.

geoff was right!! Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 That's my train tickets bought, found Trainline to be the cheapest. £18 for 2 return tickets + £1 booking fee. Scotrail was £26. I'll just get the Mount Florida ones when I get to Central station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nold Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thinking about getting the 1433 from Haymarket which gets in at 1520 then the 2300 home. £10.70 return on thetrainline.com Anyone else up for getting these trains or have alternative ideas?

auld reekie saint Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Horseshoe bar is a good shout. Close to central station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I think 1433 sounds like a plan - pub wise, there's the Horsehoe, Iron Horse, Firewater (Sauchiehall St) or for cheap grub/drinks the Weatherspoons (Counting House?) on George Square. Closer to Hampden, the International could be a shout for meeting up with those who are driving through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nold Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Going to book tickets for the above trains tomorrow then to make sure to get the discount. In case anyone hasn't seen it, I have an extra ticket as Dougie is now unable to attend. Anyone still needing one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st Tommy Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Horseshoe bar is a good shout. Close to central station. Horseshoe bar from about half 3 sounds a good place to meet up for cheap food and beer. Can move to a bar closer to the stadium once folk have arrived on their various trains!

Scobby_SJFC Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Trying to get a few of us gathered at the counting house and a load of us on the one train to Hampden if you guys fancy? http://www.weareperth.co.uk/vforum/showthread.php?t=12385 Edited January 28, 2010 by Scobby_SJFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st Tommy Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 There was a wee bit of chat on Saturday about meeting up in the Mercat on Wednesday before getting the 2.30 train through to Glasgow....are folk still keen to do that? The Mercat have a deal on food at the moment with all lunches £5 from 12.30-2.30 so that could be a good way to start of the day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
