SaintDougie Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Calling all Edinburgh Saints Now that the things are getting into motion with regards to Ginger Baker's Singing and Dancing post. I was wondering if people would be up for organising a bus up to Perth for the QoS game? As im sure your all more than aware, Mr Baker has been in talks with the club in which have agreed to open the Ormond stand for our wee, sorry big party. As like the Dunfy away game im sure all of you will want to come along so I was thinking if we try and organise a bus or coach up, it may be cheaper for all of us in the long run. Meeting obviously at the new Edinburgh Saints headquarters, Mathers bar. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noose76 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Between the lot of you, arrange a time for departure from Edinburgh, and book your train ticket now. It'll cost buttons if you buy 2 singles. http://www.firstgroup.com/scotrail/ it's currently £4.25 for a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to get it off work as we speak, We might be better all booking train tickets in advance, cos last time the bus wisnae exactly cheap, we could get up early for a few beers and get in the party mood on the choo choo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would need definate numbers to go ahead with that. Im well up for heading down to Mathers for an early start again then fire up to the fair city on the old choo choo. Sounds like there's gonna be a good bit sing song, party banter in the 208 beforre the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did give the driver a tip mind.......dinnae be a *** was one of them:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintDougie Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Was it as cheap as that? i thought it was more like £15 odds? Cheapest I managed to find in the Burgh was about £15 - £20 a head, If it is only a tenner it might be something worth looking into again. You remember what company that was with?

st Tommy Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 it would be pretty good if we could all head up together - get the vocal chords warmed up with several pints and get into party atmosphere! Mon the saints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff was right!! Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Aye that sounds like a good plan, Just checked out the prices of coaches etc and they aint cheap. We would need definate numbers to go ahead with that. Im well up for heading down to Mathers for an early start again then fire up to the fair city on the old choo choo. Sounds like there's gonna be a good bit sing song, party banter in the 208 beforre the game. I'm up for the early start at Mathers again but this time I think I'll take is easy after the dunfermline effort. Took me 2 days to recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint O'Leith Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Charlie Irons are great to deal with, that's who I used for the Challenge Cup last season, no complaints. And the guy I spoke to on the phone there knew Kevin James! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
