Edstar101 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 You may have seen the thread on Saints Chat re this pre-season friendly, and the fact that Wee John will be running a 208 bus to that game. WJ also suggested that the Edinburgh Saints may want to organise something that day for those coming through. Any thoughts on a pre-match, post-match get together will the lads and lasses travelling fae Perth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_polster Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Based on the location of their ground maybe something in Stockbridge first, plenty nice boozers down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just off Ferry Road...next to Ainslie Park Leisure Centre Or if not familiar with leisure centre's then the Morrison's supermarket! Agree with the Stockbridge suggestion, plenty of quality boozers for a nice sunny summer afternoon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the Stockbridge suggestion, plenty of quality boozers for a nice sunny summer afternoon! Would be nice to get somewhere that we can make aware that a bus load (or two??) are coming and perhaps make an effort to lay on some grub. Not sure of any pubs in Stockbridge that would do that, and have an outside area. I work just along from Stockbridge so could take a wander along one lunchtime and check out a few options. Could be possibilities in Inverleith area as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgour Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Nearest pub to the ground is Telford Arms and is walkable(just) Large area but clientele are a bit suspect. Cant think of one pub in Stockbridge where footie fans would be welcomed with open arms and given the kick-off time they will all be geared up to lunches rather than a booze-up.Bears suggestion of Ferry Rd is more practical and the 21 bus runs every 15 mins.No idea of any Black Bull though.Oceanna Sports bar is cheap and may be worth a phone ahead.

Nold Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Been in the Oceana quite a few times. Large bar with a couple of pool tables and Tennents for 2quid a pint. Very much doubt they would be able to lay on food though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susansaint100 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ye olde inn in Davidson Mains has large bar, lounge and massive beer garden. Nice place, 21 bus stop right outside - 5 mins on bus to the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susansaint100 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Spoke to the manager at Ye Olde Inn, Said we are more than welcome to all go, however it is Gala day so it will be busier than normal so can't reserve tables or do anything 'special' for us, although they will be serving lunches / bar snacks as normal.

Might be a pretty good atmosphere though, as it is Gala Day. What's everyones thoughts on selecting this place as where to arrange to meet the 208 bus folk, and any other Saintees planning on coming through? We get a concensus, we can post it in the main Saints Chat area as an open invitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintDougie Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Sounds good to me. Bit of a walk up to the game so I would suggest we jump on the 21 or 27 after a few ales. Take us right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's my local so me and Drew Blue will be there. If it's local to you Susan, worth just popping in again this week and making sure that there will be no problems with a good number of Saints fans getting in on Saturday?

You'll have difficulty finding a 27 in D Mains! Only the 21 runs from there to Ferry Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
