Scobby_SJFC Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi guys, after the trip to EsEs and taking to so many Glasgow based saints I think it's a bit embarresing we do not have at least a group from the city. I think we need to get this sorted and pick a pub and get together for a social pint get to know each other and then perhaps in the future get trains to games or even run buses Any interest? Even if we can start off small even five or so and build up, if Edinburgh can do it successfully then I think we can too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we can start off small even five or so and build up, if Edinburgh can do it successfully then I think we can too Hi Scobby, I'm a part-time Glaswegian, although I spend my weekends in Perth anyway. Definitely up for doing this, I know a couple of others who would get involved as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scobby_SJFC Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Good stuff, spread the word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'd get involved - sounds like a good idea. I'm based in North Lanarkshire but work in Glasgow and am only a 10 minute train from the City Centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al C Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Live in Hamilton so definitely interested. Get the feeling have said that before though! That's not a dig at anyone incidentally. Best plan is as Scobby suggested, meet for a pint and take it from there. Would say I go to 80% of the games and will continue to do so. Normally travel with 2 or 3 others depending on the game (and any PSJ match) but sometimes just on my own. Even a couple of games a season with a bus or on the train would be great.

Broon Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Agreed. The best thing to do is to pick a date and time in a bar in Glasgow and spread the word and see who turns up. Even if its only once every month or so it will be enough for people to meet 'local' Saints fans. That way people might gradually start to travel together and eventually who knows a bus might be arranged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1962 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've always made my own way, well for a long time now but I would be interested in helping to get something going. Think Broon has a good idea, bar somewhere central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scobby_SJFC Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 What bar would suit some people I'm dead centre so anywhere suits myself. How about 9th August and thats lets us spread the word a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintGraeme39 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 as scobby knows im up for this! live in north lanarkshire but only a 40 minute train, or half hour drive from city centre. Would be happy to meet up with saints in a pub for pints to get things sorted and get to know each other. 9th works for me also, hope to see as many glasgow saints there as possible!

Scobby_SJFC Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Anybody got a pub preference? Off the top of my head I'm thinking Captains rest on great western road, the Arlington on woodlands roads which are decent boozers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make it easier for those travelling into the City from outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al C Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I expect we will need to cancel this if Saints go through on Thursday; Marseille will beckon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I should be about on the 9th. I know two other Saints in Glasgow but one is in the police so many not make many games and the other does not seem too interested at the moment. Shall be getting the train on Thursday for the European game and again on Saturday for the friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall be getting the train on Thursday for the European game and again on Saturday for the friendly. Do you buy your train tickets in advance or pay the full fare? I'd love to travel up to the games on the train but with two of us travelling its about double the cost of driving. Certainly a better day out if you don't drive.

Its all pending the result on Thursday Al No worries Broon, to be honest at the moment the best thing to do is get the group familaried with each other and create a social side to the 'club'. If that leads to us getting trains/buses to games in the future fantastic but small steps right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try and plan ahead and buy them early but that pins you to a certain train. With Thursday I am not too sure when I will get to the train station after the Spain game. Not sure if they do it still but scotrail certinaly used to do a group discount so four people could get the train for the price of three.

Sometimes Sainsbury do a deal with Scotrail and you can get a return anywhere in Scotland for £18. handy for away days to Aberdeen/Ross County/Inverness, worth keeping an eye out for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hello fellow Weegies. I'm based in Glasgow too and, quite shamefully, forgot about this section of the forum. I'll try and get down that night too - it's literally round the corner for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
