Are any .netters on the 2pm service up on Friday afternoon from Kings Cross or the 2.30pm train back down on the Monday?

I expect I'll see some Hibbies milling about Kings Cross, certainly on the Friday.

On a more general note, where are people travelling from for the game? Where's the farthest afield people are leaving from? It's always impressive to see where people trek from for these big games.

A few of us coming up from Cheshire/Lancashire getting in for 11:03, notice it's the 6:05 Virgin London service so hopefully a few Hibees from London on there by the time we jump on at Warrington, Wigan, Preston etc... :thumbsup:

yeezus.

Easyjet flight late tommorow night from stansted then back down Monday morning. Making a weekend of it :thumbsup:. Pretty straightforward and not as impressive as the journey booked for our tartan army trip to Belgium in October! :greengrin

Only travelling from Edinburgh but heading through on the Friday night.

Check into the hotel, swim and a sauna. Meet my mates, line the stomach then find a watering hole to sample some good old Glesga banter.

Getting up (I hope) at almost the night before to get a 7.00 ferry from Larne to Troon and then train(s) to Hampden. Hopefully the match will keep me awake.

I'm much more excited then my 2 boys.

Where have you been hiding these past 18 months!!??

We're on the telly box @ the end of April for the game vs St Midden - fancy a jaunt to Quinns in London, or trying somewhere here in Oxford to watch it? (unlikely I know)

Yeah i have been meaning to go to Quinns but never quite made it. I 'd be up for that. Yates in Reading also shows Scottish games as an option

I think you might be disappointed because I'm almost certain the Counting House doesn't sell booze at that time of the morning.

That's where you are wrong. If you order a large breakfast you can also order up to 2 pints before the 11am serving time. I called and confirmed :)
