League Cup Semi Final v. Hearts Build Up

[bigman]

Can anyone advise on parking at Easter road or surrounding area?

[Alex MacLeod]

If your early enough you can park in Albion Street but its murder getting back out before the crowds disperse.

Last time I went to ER I took the car. I parked beside a park about 10 mins walk for the ground. No charge or yellow lines etc. You go straight down ER and cross over the junction at the bottom. Go a bit along and you should see the park. Would get there sharp tho. Another option is Park and Ride into the city centre and walk from bus station. If coming from sneck park at the Inverkeithing P and R and buses are cheap and frequent

it's not easy to get parked around easter road.

 

leith links isn't that far away and parking around there is free

 

park and ride or inverkeithing is a good shout and it's only about 15 -20 min walk from the town

Parking is usually a problem when we play Hibs but I am going to contact Hibs later today to ask about parking with us having one of the home stands.

[+old caley girl]

Dont think they have much parking tbh but see how you get on.

[+CaleyD]

As OCG says, Hibs have very little parking...certainly don't think they have any fan parking as such.

[Alex MacLeod]

There's no fans parking at ER. You can park in the streets around the ground but need to be there early to gat a space. It is a wait to get out though because the fans get preference leaving the ground so you need to wait till they disperse. I've parked a couple of times in the Albion Rd area.

anyone know how the sales going, are we any nearer to selling the bottom tier out?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Parking - I am going to park erse in the middle of the singing section - well hopefully parking will be intermittent if the stewards dont go OTT.

[Big G]

Heard back from Hibs and as you all say no fans parking. They also added there may be streets closed for segregation purposes but not yet decided by L & B police.

Hey I have a Hearts friend who was asking if I could let everybody know that Dunfermline Hearts are welcoming everybody to their prematch pub in Rosyth.  It is easy to get to from the motorway and is a 20-30 minute journey to the ground from there. Might be useful for any buses that haven't already organised a stop off.  It's family friendly too.  The address is cssc club, castle road, rosyth, ky11 2hu.  I have posted a link of the location too and for the CSSC website.  If you have any other queries etc I can always ask him and get back to you.  Sounds like a decent place.

Hopefully it's okay to post this I apologise if it is breaking any site rules.

Hearts have announced earlier today that they have sold just over 10,000 tickets.

Collected my tickets today and we are down to the last block on the bottom tier  I think  there is still a couple of hundred for sale  as the etickets have seats for row N forward.  the bottom tier holds 2149  so it would be great fill that  for an away game  It would be even better  to fill up the top one too and we only need 1609 more locals to do that.

10 buses going down so far  including private hires  lets get a dozen buses going down. only £14 return

[bigman]

Thanks for all the help and advice, managed to get a spot, house holder in private development rents out his parking space cost £2.00 from 12 till 5, 5mins from stadium

[tm4tj]

Train booked, me plus Zogg, Big Stu Blair, Billy the Fish and Loren the tiddler, eta @ 13:22 and straight to Leith pubs for pre match shouting juice :drinking06:

[Bronson]

How much was your train Don? And what time are you leaving at?

[tm4tj]

Simon, we have a spare ticket for the train at the moment.

 

We leave at 09:41

 

return at 19:44

 

the only drawback is you have to travel with me, Stu, Blair and Pete.

[izzy]

A big thank you to Lizi for sorting me out. Much appreciated

 

You can always depend on Lizi ....she's a star

[Bronson]

Can I get back to you Tom mate. Need 2 seats one for me and father

[tm4tj]

Aye no probs, our ticket is a block booking though Petes work, so, if you get same journeys then one ticket will be almost free.

[tm4tj]

Cool, it'll be like a pensioners and carers outing....................

[DundeeICT]

The bbc gossip has a bit saying ICT have sold less than 2000 tickets for the game...

[RiG]

If that is true then that is pathetic.

 

Not on the part of the club or people who are going but the saddos who would rather sit in the pub on a Saturday afternoon and "watch" Celtic or The Rangers on the Soccer Saturday vidiprinter.

 

Inverness doesn't deserve ICT.

Just read the bit in the sun. It says only about 1800 sold with hope of nearer 2000 by weekend. Totally pathetic but I will be there and can't wait for it now!!
