Frankie 8,198 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Sounds good but I suspect it will be very busy... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Is it a licensed bar? I thought they weren't allowed in Scotland at grounds. It'll be my first midday OF game travelling from Edinburgh - any advice on best time to get a train/which train and where to go pre kick off would be much appreciated. Though perhaps an early train and going here would be my best bet? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though perhaps an early train and going here would be my best bet? Yes, they've used the Ibrox Suite before pre-game - it just closes/stops serving around 30-45mins before kick off. Train takes around 50mins from Waverley to Queen Street and I think they're every 15mins on a Saturday (every 30mins on a Sunday) but can't be sure. The good thing is the pubs will be open a bit earlier given this is a Saturday fixture so you can get the train through at 9am and be drinking by 10am in Glasgow. Plenty places you can go in the city centre before getting the Subway (or a taxi) over. Same in and around the ground but the pubs there will be very busy so you'll need to be there for opening time at 10am I'm sure to be guaranteed entry.

All the pubs around the ground are 11am. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, I need to work out my kid's football schedule first but if he doesn't have a game then he and the wife will be heading through to the game from West Lothian - I could have her come collect you from Waverley or Haymarket (or wherever) and give you a lift to the game Don't hold out hope though because I have a sneaking suspicion he will have a game of his own - which would SUCK because it would mean he misses the OF game. I still can't understand why kids games get played right when adult games are being played, on Saturdays. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,875 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Best to get a train through from Edinburgh at 9.30, then jump on a tube in Glasgow city centre and hop off at Kinning Park in time for the pubs opening. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the 1970 League Cup final because I was playing that afternoon. I was a right winger (football only) and so hugged the touchline all day to be near a guy who was following the game and feeding me news. When we scored I ran right round the pitch without the ball Edited September 13, 2017 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavens to Betsy, Glasow has changed out of all recognition since my day. 8am on Old Firm day! What, even in places like Partick and around the train stations? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, even in places like Partick and around the train stations? No, there are only two I know of that open at 8am with a license. You need to buy some food with your drink (roll etc). It's mainly for guys coming off night shift. Your best choice would be the Ibrox bar. Edited September 13, 2017 by cooponthewing 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
