crieffsaintandy Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Here goes - Bus booked (50 seater), to leave 9:45 from Melville Street (Edinburgh West End) then on to Peebles, will stop at the Crown (Peebles) for an hour, bacon rolls will be available. Leave there just before twelve and then to Dumfries, arrive there just after one, allows an hour and a half before the game to do what you want to do (might look into getting booked into somewhere during January, if any suggestions feel free). Home straight after the game, via Peebles. Total cost of the bus is £425, I have paid £50 deposit today, so looking for £5 deposit from everyone as soon as possible (if something does happen and we have to cancel, I will divide the £50 by everyone that has paid and return the difference of the fiver, but everything appears to be in hand so nothing will go wrong!!!) I will be in the Muirton Suite on Saturday from the back of two for cash collections, or if anyone wants to send to a bank account PM me for details. Full list at present time is - Peebles - Eddie, Linky and 5 others and 4 Kids = 7 Edinburgh - Andy, Mark, Nelly, Chris, Big Gav, Dougie, Nold, Livi Saint x 2, Capital Saint, Geoff was Right x 2, G Myles, Susan Barnett x 2, Gregor Zielinski = 16 Bus Total = 27 Also thanks to Dougie running the Facebook side of things and Eddie at the Peebles end Cheers, Andy Edited December 23, 2014 by crieffsaintandy Dr Christmas Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livi saint Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Time and where is the bus leaving from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crieffsaintandy Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Wasn't going to post details till later in the week, but will do so now, leaving Melville St, at the West End, just off Queensferry Street, same spot as all other games except the cup final. Leaving at 9:45am, then to the Crown at Peebles, arrive around about 11am stay till half twelve (bacon rolls are being provided by the host) then Dumfries quarter to two (bought my tickets already to save queuing for them so I get an hour in the pub, and there are plenty near the ground, so didn't organise an official place. Leave straight after the game back to Edinburgh via Peebles. Numbers still good 33 adults and 7 kids, so ten spaces left for anyone else making a last minute decision, if everyone shows will be £13 per head £8 for all deposits paid (exact fares would be helpful too!!) Will confirm with Ross at the bus company middle of week that all good, but don't see any problems. And hope we don't go one nil up and try to defend our lead, as we are not very good at it, even against ten men today. See all on Saturday, coys Born2Bru and Capital Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Bru Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 What are folk doing about tickets? Having read the thread on the main forum with the comment from the QoS fan on P&B that they may NOT open the terracing if we don't sell a lot of tickets this week at McD, I was returning to the thought of phoning up and ordering tickets. If folk want me to do so, I can phone up on Tues / Wed and order tickets for those that want. Just DM me and we can square up on the bus.

Kilgour Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Phoning for tix is the way ahead.Tickets sold from kiosk on Sat are exactly the same (match entry) The more people who procrastinate the longer the queues ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Bru Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think folk are holding off in the hope that they can get into the terracing on the day. However, if the QoS guy on P&B is correct, they will not open the terracing if there are a lot of unsold tickets for the stand on the day. Could be problems.

I got the impression that the ticket things I got through are for entrance only and will be exact same as issued in the booth at Dumfries, therefore say for arguments I appeared at three o'clock and the stand was full I would then go to the terracing if open, really just proof of entry and then sit/stand where you want, thats my take on it, could be wrong, but hey ho just looking forward to the game regardless where I am located.

I'm pretty sure you're correct, but hope there are not more Saints supporters there than the stand holds, if they do decide not to open the terracing. You would think that the police would tell them to open up the terracing in that scenario, even if there's no catering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crieffsaintandy Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 More pub time Dougie, that's my thinking than standing in a queue, well worth the £2.50 postage!! Baldy M added to the list, now at 34 adults and Ross has confirmed bus all good for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crieffsaintandy Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 37 adults (28 Edinburgh and 9 Peebles) and 9 Kids at the moment assuming everyone shows £11.50 a head minus deposits paid. So only 4 seats left on the the bus. Nelly78 and SaintDougie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
