crieffsaintandy Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Sounds good to me. Did we not get a free lift there last time from a *** that worked at queen street? Now you mention it, can remember that, just because he hated rangers and we were playing them, maybe get some random Hamilton dude hangin around this time. Only a week to go, take it everyone is getting the 9:03 and then on to Mt Florida way, remember the tinnies for the train, too early to buy a carry out at that time:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangordon86 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 X Factor next for you mate, all this singing you do every week:laugh: Got my tickets booked now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_mac Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 will be getting the 9.03 most likely not booked tickets yet but will probably do get involved with the group save deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstu Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 The groupsave deal only goes from Edinburgh to Queen St, not Central. I have spoken to a couple of guys who agree that the 9am Waverley (9.04am Haymarket) or the 9.15am Waverley (9.19am Haymarket) may be a good choice. That way we get in to Glasgow at 10am (ish) and can go to a pub on the way to central to get a train out to Mount Florida. (Or whatever stop is closest to the pub out there) Thoughts?

Edstar101 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I will tag along with you guys and partake in the groupsave thing if that is okay. Happy to get either train- Haymarket probably best for us. Going to have my laddie, so may not be partaking in the pubities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormond boy Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Sounds good to me. Did we not get a free lift there last time from a *** that worked at queen street? And a splendid chap he was. Dropped you me and my lads off at the church and would not take a penny - his only wish was that we beat these .....

I reckon we should all aim for this one, get to the station a few mins early and get organised with the groupsave deal to save some beer money!

Edstar101 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Agreed, I take it the groupsave deal can be purchesed on the train then? I reckon we would need to get it at the ticket office....so would suggest being a good 15mins early, at the least, as the person working there will probably not have a clue what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff was right!! Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 3 of us planning on getting the train at 9.04 from Haymarket to Queen Street. I reckon we should all aim for this one, get to the station a few mins early and get organised with the groupsave deal to save some beer money! We're getting the 9:00 from Waverley, groupsave to Queens Street. NOT the 9:03 to Central. I reckon we would need to get it at the ticket office....so would suggest being a good 15mins early, at the least, as the person working there will probably not have a clue what to do Last time we got them we had to queue at the ticket office to as Eddie has said, leave enough time to get them.

ormond boy Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Will join up with you all for the 0900hrs train. The three in our group need to return to Edinburgh pretty much straight after the game as we have a wedding reception to go to at night. Anyone who needs to get back to Edin. quickly after the game are welcome to join in our group booking - let me know if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Marc Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Are yous getting the fast train that goes through Livingston South? There ain't anything fast about that train! Takes about an hour and a half from Edinburgh. We'll be on the one that goes through Linlithgow / Plomont / Faklirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Kilgour has said the Church on the hill doesn't open till 11:30. I know many hate it... but the counting house opens at 9am. And I am guessing that if we go in at that time, we could take over a whole area for ourselves, and it wouldnt be too bad.
