Apparently Hibs are giving away free hard hats with every ticket sale just incase it snows during the match

Everyone should take one along anyway... just incase. Would be a gd wee dig. :greengrin

Hope it's open earlier than 11am :pray:
You're only 16, you'll not get in. They ID folk at the door.

Reckon i'll head to the Murrayfield Hotel again, it was very good before the last match we had at tynecastle.

Probably head along for 9am, prematch bevvy outside the Roseburn before it opens is usually popular to :thumbsup:

It has a 9am licence for a Saturday, so if they want to open at that time then they can.

I just called them and they confirmed the 11 o'clock opening time. When asked the reason for this they responded that it was a management decision influenced by a request by the polis. BLOODY BIZZIES!!! RUIN EVERYBUGGER'S FUN!

They'll ID everybody who looks even young-ish. If you've ever been up town for a night out you'll know how strict they are on ID mate. If they ID your pal, they'll ID you aswell.

Don't think it'l be a problem. They didn't ID on the door last time, and they didn't seem to be ID'ing at the bar. The place is spacious, if you get in just ask somebody to get you a few pints.

Either that or get a fakey ID?

Right, well one of my mates going is gonna have ID so he can just go up for the pints.:greengrin

Is the atmosphere good pre-match do you know?

Haha, i highly doubt i'd be able to get in and get a pint without being questioned though, suppose the lord loves a tryer :greengrin

Have you spoken to them? Can anybody confirm this rumour?

I might offer them my Mum to work behind the bar if they're having trouble getting staff.

I can understand you wanting employment, even if it is just bar work, but offering them your mother as a bribe! :bitchy:

Wonder how much cash the Roseburn will lose by opening at 11am instead of 9am

14-12-2010, 08:51 PM

Actually GUTTED it aint opening at 9, not wanting to sound too downhearted but at this moment in time The Roseburn is the only part of the day that I'm looking forward to...absolutely dreading the game tbh :bitchy:

that pass him round was me, and i had no choice in that tbh, disadvantage of being a short arse - however i spk to the staff and manager after the game and they found it funny.

I went to the Roseburn before the last game at Tynecastle but it was taking ages for the queue to go down so I headed along to the Murrayfield instead and I'm glad I did, I had a great time. Loads of folk outside having a bit of a sing song after a few drinks :agree:

In fact, I should have just stayed there because it was the best part of the whole day by a mile. :boo hoo:

ive been in the murrayfield bar before a derby on two occassions.

both times the bar staff stopped serving if anyone started singing. :bitchy:

Myself and probably around ten mates are meeting outside the Roseburn, assuming the weather's fair we may even get a carry out and bevvy on the street. Pubs will be rammed.

I can't comment on any other time as that was first time I had ever been there but they certainly didn't stop serving on that occasion as there were loads of people singing, especially outside where I was but inside as well, during our last visit to Tynecastle in March.

roseburn is opening at 9am according to the guy i spoke to yesterday.

however, my mate said he phoned too and was told 11.

Thats the Murrayfield BAR. It no longer opens pre match.

The Murrayfield HOTEL is where you can stand outside. It also has a huge lounge where you can sing and dance till your hearts content. :agree:

I've always preffered the Murrayfield Hotel.

The Roseburn is always packed, it takes ages to get a pint and queing up for ages to get in before a match isn't my idea of fun.

The Murrayfield you can pretty much walk straight in, get served reasonably quickly and theres always plenty singing, banter etc to keep you amused.

I don't know what it's like inside as I've never made it in there but it looks as if it is packed as you can see everybody jammed up against the windows. As you say, that's not really my idea of fun and I can imagine that it must be a nightmare trying to get served.

The last match was in March so it wasn't too cold standing in the queue, but I would think that it'll be freezing for this one so I don't fancy standing outside for about an hour when it's about -5C.

When we went to the Murrayfield, we just bought about 5 or 6 bottles at a time and we only needed to go up another once or twice after that. :greengrin

Not sure I'll be sitting outside this time, though! :snowman

Well thats ****, Murrayfield Hotel it will have to be then and hopefully manage to get into the Roseburn for a few when it opens.

15-12-2010, 05:10 PM

'Pass him round' was one of the most memorable things thats happened in the Roseburn before a derby.

Gutted that its not opening til 11 but im sure we can have as much banter at the Murrayfield Hotel, can anybody confirm that its opening at 9am?

Since90+2

15-12-2010, 05:28 PM

A couple of times myself and my kids have gone to the Tynecastle Arms? The bar on the corner of Gorgie Rd and McLeod St..

Something tells me a large group of Hibees woudnt be that welcome on derby day :wink:

This doesn't surprise. Some of the behaviour in and around the Roseburn is a disgrace. Last time I saw hibs fans abuse, spit on and punch random Hearts fans who had the misfortune to be walking to the game past the pub. Some even had kids with them. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Hibs fans get the same treatment when walking past middletons when Hearts are in town but to me it goes past banter some times.

The Roseburn used to be a great laugh on Derby Day but the last few years it has got more and more out on control IMO. The last couple of years we've been going to the Murrayfield bar or hotel. Of course, maybe I'm just getting old!!

15-12-2010, 06:03 PM

True.. But if you keep your mouths shut you can have a couple of beers and a thirty second walk to our stand..I've only done it two or three times and it was fine :agree:

I couldn't keep my mouth shut. You'd have to be really desperate for a drink or mentally deranged to go into a yam pub on derby day

It was run by a couple of Hibs fans until very recently.

Which bowling club? The Caledonian Bowling Club on Russell Road has recently gone bust and closed or do you mean Beechwood BC on Roseburn Street.

TamHibs

16-12-2010, 09:44 AM

The Beechwood BC is a nice wee place to go before the game but you either have to be a member or know a member who can sign you in. That's where we normally go but think it will be The Murrayfield Hotel for pre match drinks this time around.

The Roseburn has got worse and I can't be @rsed standing outside the pub for 50 minutes to get a drink (unless I get there at half 7 in the morning) anymore. Usually just go to a mates house and have a few cans there.

Trains on New Years Day?

There's no Scotrail trains running on New Year's Day. The only trains leaving from/going to Scottish stations on New Year's Day are leaving from/going to stations outwith Scotland.
