A Hibs XI surely?

I'd have thought so. Decent game for the likes of Shaw, F Murray etc to warm up for the season with.

[Onceinawhile]

According to the Rose it is at hibs request and they are expecting a full squad.

Strickland should be a good test for Darren and Paul.

[LithgaeHibby]

Ya beauty! The Hibees are coming to town and it's right on our doorstep. My wee boy is going to be over the moon tonight!

[Since90+2]

Any decent boozers near the ground?

[Diclonius]

If it's the full first team I might pop along to this one.

Maybe our 1st game back, probably be 2 different teams in each half

[tartanhibee]

There are around 10 pubs in Linlithgow with the west port, black bitch, and the rose club it’s self being the closest. Personally disappointed to be missing this as I’m on holiday.

[Smartie]

A day oot in Linlithgow?

[.Sean.]

Starting from the train station you have,
1. The Star, has outside drinking area.
2. Platform 3 has great real ales but quite small.
3. The Post Office is big and cheapish, a belhaven pub with pub grub and big screens.
4. The 4 Marys another Belhaven pub plenty real bear/lagers to choose from
5, Bar 1807 (used to be the "Hole") fullof women drinking wine, you cant walk in and order at the bar, its waitress service.
6. Linlithgow Tap (used to be the Footies) decent boozer with circular island bar and good choice of drinks.
7. The Crown is probably the most popular local in town but quite wee, good service and plenty choices of drinks.
8. The Swan, decent boozer, nowt special but okay, Has a beer garden too
9, The Kelpies, another smallish bar but ok
10, The Black Bitch lounge, bar and beer garden, good boozer
11 West Port hotel, more hotelish than pub but has lounge and food and big sports bar(when open)
12 Rugby Club big and cheap plenty parking (may have a rugby game on tho)
13 Lastly the Rose club function room will seat 200, seperate lounge and games room with 2 pool tables, decent prices attached to the Rose ground. Parking for about 50 cars on match days.

Plenty on street parking nearby and the Academy has spaces for about 100 cars if nothing on at the school.

Hope this helps.

PS station is less that 1 mile from ground

The Black Bitch? What a name for a pub!

Linlithgow's Black Bitch
The burgh's coat of arms features a black bitch chained to an oak tree on an island, and those born within the town are known as "black bitches".[6] In his account of a tour of Scotland, published in 1679, an English gentleman, Thomas Kirk, described the arms of the town as "a black bitch tied to a tree, in a floating island. We enquired for a story about it, but could meet with none: their schoolmaster told us it proceeded from the name of the place. Linlithgow, in Erst [Gaelic], is thus explained: Lin signifies Lough; Lith, black; and Gow, a hound."[7]

A more recently recorded legend relates that the bitch was a black greyhound whose master was sentenced to starve to death on an island in the loch. She used to swim from the town every day with food for him. When this was discovered she was chained to a tree on a different island to suffer the same fate as her master. The townspeople took the animal's loyalty and bravery as symbolic of their own. The local pub named "The Black Bitch" is reputed to be one of Scotland's oldest pubs.[8]

I always thought of the name "black Bitch" being related to the nearby greyhound track if I am correct/ My Auld faither used to take me there. pretty sure it was in Lithgae ? I can remember a guy at the track saying to my Da, that wee bitch wi' the number 3, runs at Wallyford, I think it has a white chest and they've painted ower it! .was there a track there, or I am confused with Armadale?

[monktonharp]

Anyway, how much of a walk form the B.Bitch to the ground?

No more than 400m, I would guess. (i.e. about 1/4 mile)

i believe there was a greyhound track in Linlithgow. It was situated by the rugby club and is now the second pitch.

[BroxburnHibee]

Handy one for me

[Rocky]

Wonder if they'll need to make this all ticket. Attendance for Rose match against Raith in Scottish Cup was given as 2,250 - I could see us topping that and the ground was pretty full that day.
