Message to Visiting Supporters

• Visiting supporters should be aware that there is a narrowing of the roadway in Russell Road near to Sauchiebank and this may slow down pedestrian access to and from the match.
  
• A plan is in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians through this area.
  
• Visiting Supporters Coaches - Drivers of Inverness supporters coaches should be aware that the coaches will be subjected to searches by the Police for any alcohol in contravention of the Criminal Law (procedure) (Scotland) Act 1995.
  
• Coach drivers are also asked not to allow supporters to exit the coaches at Roseburn Terrace but continue onto West Coates where supporters can safely be dropped off on the north side of the street. Police motorcyclists will assist coaches around the one-way system at Haymarket to park on the south side of West Coates during the second half of the match so it is important drivers remain with their vehicles to allow this to happen.

The Haymarket area of Edinburgh is a nightmare for traffic and pedestrians at the minute. If I were taking a coachload from Sneck I'd take the M90 link from Broxden Perth. M90 to Forth Bridge. A90 then A8000 to M9. Stay on M9 at Newbridge roundabout. Go left onto M8 interchange then take M8 east to Hermiston Gate interchange. Go right at roundabout and onto bypass heading south. Keep to left side lane and exit at Calder road roundabout and go left onto Calder road. Follow road (A71) to Gorgie road. Do NOT stop or slow down going through Sighthill or there wont be no wheels on the bus. Stay on Gorgie road till just before the road goes under the railway bridge. Turn left into McLeod street (Tynecastle Arms on corner) Follow road to T-junction then left onto Russell road. This is where the official coach park is.

Many thanks Alex. Have written down these directions and will give to our coach driver (all seats booked in Supporters Club 51 seater bus). If we get lost, I will blame you! See you there (if we ever get introduced!). An ICT win will be great too.

Sadly cant make it tomorrow Lizi.

[ictbob]

:laugh: :laugh:

Actually is that no the way the driver would come anyway?

I've seen the bus going up Corstorphine Road before.

I always go to Murrayfield then take a right at Roseburn and park in the streets there.

I'd probably do the same if I was in car but I'm sure the bus has to go to official coach park on Russell road and I think the Calder road/Gorgie road route is the easiest with all the upheaval / diversions / one way systems going on around the Haymarket area at the minute. Buses could go Corstorphine road and park up at West Coates but they wouldn't be able to turn around again without running the gauntlet of the aforementioned upheavals.
