What's Inverness like for a late night midweek drink?
Is there anywhere open 'til 3.00, if so the first train back to Edinburgh at 4.51 looks almost like an option.

I am on the 11.35 train from Edinburgh to Inverness then the 5.15 train from Inverness to Dingwall. Not sure what hotel i am staying at in Inverness though as my mate is booking that!

Tried again, same answer, not sold out. I pointed out the web site and the recorded message on the phone line which both said they are on sale. Same answer.

After talking to a supervisor I was told to call the club direct on the ticket number I had just called! They said it goes somewhere else if they are busy and I was just to keep calling the number until I got to the club.
What a joke.

Add to the fact all links on the Hibs website to online sales all return errors you'd think they don't want people going up!

You can buy direct from Ross County and collect before the game. At least they want Hibs fans there!!

Hmm I seem to be unable to book tickets for this all ticket match 24 hours before the game because I am not a season ticket holder.

Somehow I get the feeling it can't be sold out.

You can apparently get them from Ross County.

Corriegarth for me as well.

Looks not too bad, right next to the station and was only £45 for a twin room. Just need to be braced for a taxi back to Inverness if the game goes into extra time, god knows how much that might be!

Three of us going up and planned to stay in Inverness, but taking into consideration the cost of the train to Dingwall (£5 each) then a hefty taxi fare back after the game we decided to stay in Dingwall. National Hotel in the High Street £90 for a triple room inc breakfast.

Anyone else staying there ??

I'll have the car and can do the trip to Dingwall and back - space for another 4.

Utmost respect to all those firing up there tomorrow night. I'm not going to lie, work commitments, money but overall just a bad feeling about where the collective mentality of the Hibs team is at right now meant that I never seriously considered heading up.

I hope it's a cracking away game, and the gravitas of the occasion actually inspires the Hibs players to play like the players they can be as opposed to keeking their breeks and resort to thumping it up towards the isolated Stokes.

Last train is at 22.54, if it goes to extra time & pens it should still be finished by 22.15, surely can't be that far from ground to station, hope not anyway.

Have to admit, I've been getting a bit concerned that I'm much more excited about this than I really should be. . Decades of cup disappointments, dire recent form, I should know better . . but canny wait.:flag:

Duane tours are legendary in lancashire, we have had buses break down, even run out of diesel, at one time we had more break downs, than journeys that had actually completed.:grr: The best was when we even had a plane break down while we were sitting in it. Yes Duane tours are always interesting.:wink:
