Don't think I've ever started one of these before.

So, who's up for a trip to the Costa del Clyde on Saturday? Classic Scottish football architecture at Cappielow, and the Norseman, which must be one of the handiest bars in the Scottish league, does a mean line in cheap cat's ****...

Is the railway station a long walk from the ground? If I go through I need to get the 1717 back to Central.

Cartsdyke is the nearest station and is only 5-10 min walk to the ground. I'll be catching the same train too.. :022:

Not at all - five minutes or so. Is that 1717 from Cartsdyke or from Greenock Central, by the way? Cartsdyke is the station nearest Cappielow. Aiming to get the 1305 from Central, getting into Cartsdyke around 1345, if you can get through in time for that.

I'll be there.

I just might be on the same train Mary.

It's 17:17 from Cartsdyke :022:

I'll be there

i will be there another 'home' game

It's 17:17 from Cartsdyke :022:

Be there, on way home from engerlund, overnighting in deepest Lancashire and looking forward to my first league game of the season.

Im going. My first time going to Cappielow. I have been told it is a s**t hole. I cant wait

:D Quality.

Shame on you both. Cappielow is a great Scottish football ground, the like of which we are seeing fast disappear in age age of prefab lunacy. A wooden main stand, two ends of terracing (one closed, forever), an enclosure with a holey asbestos roof, a long walk to outside toilets with a concrete pee-tray painted in club livery, and a shambolic pebble-dashed 60s inn selling cheap watery beer less than two minutes from the turnstiles. Does this sound like a shithole to you?

Dam right it does :boldblue:

Where abouts is this bar? I could do with a few pints before the game :D

The Norseman. Attached to the north-east corner of the ground. There will be a few of us in there shortly before 2, all being well.

No idea what time I will be there. The bus leaves at half 9 but the roadworks outside Glasgow are mental. I wask caught in them last Saturday and on Wednesday. Got stuck for about an hour going both ways. Hopefully the road wont be too busy tommorrow

Me and four others are going! Any idea of parking round there?

Me + 1

Just tie your donkey to a lamp post, or take it inside and tie it onto the terrace railings.
