[Emerald]

Just to get a bit of excitement going and looking forward to seeing us all on the road on Saturday morning. What time is everyone leaving tomorrow and where are you all travelling from?

Think we're leaving around 9.30 from Penicuik.

To any viewing robbing barstewards, my house may well be emptying early doors tomorrow but my aggressive, bad-assed, bad-tempered Golden Retriever will be around to greet you with kisses, em, I mean, bite your ass off. Be warned - being covered in hair and slobber before having a dog with the temperament of a teddy bear jump on you looking for a pig's ear is traumatic.

[down-the-slope]

My routine for Semis / Finals is always the same...

leaving at 8am from East Lothian - lone driver (can't be bothered with 20 odd suggestions of how / when / where.... will / have taken others so long as they realise its not a democracy :greengrin) hammer through to Central Glasgow for relaxing large breakfast and read of the papers...then head to near Hampden around 10.30/11.00 to soak up the atmosphere and a pint before getting in ground at least 30 minutes before KO (habit that served me well in 1991 :wink:)

[Green Man]

Waverley Station for 8.15am. Looking forward to it.

I'll be about half an hour behind you. Away to check bus times into town the now.

9.45am from the Hibs shop. Bus 3 of the .net exodus. As the newly appointed convenor of said vessel, a word to the wise for those on that bus that lateness vill not be tolerated, yah!!!!!!!! :greengrin

Looking forward to the M8. With a lot of folk taking the road leaving @ the same time, it could be a procession of Hibs buses/minivans/cars etc. Get yer colours oot so we can see you!!

[Golden Bear]

My car is leaving Peebles at 9:30. Two seats available!

[GreenCastle]

Expecting to see a decent amount of flags in buses and scarves out the windows on the M8 :agree:

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Waverley Station for 8.15am. Looking forward to it.

I was thinking a wee bottle of coke with a pinch of voddy for the journey.

Sounds like a plan. You bring the vodka - I'll bring the coke :greengrin

Are you coming into my brothers tomorrow morning or just heading direct to the station?

[Dunbar Hibee]

10 to 8 train from Dunbar arriving at Waverley about 8.15. Then just the next train through to Glasgow! Are the trains through 'dry' trains btw?

Was planning on getting 7.30 bus straight in. Why is there 6am liquid breakfast planned!

[.Sean.]

Couple of the boys round mine for a liquid refreshment at 7AM tomorrow, bus is due to leave the Railway in Haddington at quarter past nine. I cannot wait!

[Derek Dougan]

[suavegav]

9am from Dunfermline. Over kincardine bridge, M73+M74 to Hampden. Cmon the hibs.

[Hibs07p]

07.00 train from Waverley, jaunt up to the Iron Horse for 08.00, breakfast & liquid refreshment, down to Central station for the 10.20 to Kings Park arriving at 10.33, leisurely stroll up to the Beechwood in time for opening, leaving at 11.45 for the last leg. F*****D if I know how I'm getting back.

GGTTH

[joe breezy]

I'm on the 645pm flight from London City this evening, staying at folks house overnight, getting 9am train to Glasgow, meeting Welsh Valleys Cardiff City Hibs contingent near Hampden at 10.45ish

[FastEddieFelson]

it's funny how for big games such as this and derbies etc, people want to get totally tanked up beforehand, but will turn up to a home game against inverness as sober as a bird. you'd think the bigger games would be worth experiencing with a clear head.

however, i'm as guilty as anyone. anyone know if they're running dry trains tomorrow? hope not...

[Bristolhibby]

Aaaaagggghhhhh, wish I was going now. But lack of pennies and missus brownie points put the kibosh on this trip.

The wife is out tomorrow leaving me with the two boys (1 & 3). As daddy is dressing them, it will be Hibs shirts all round.

Then trip to the park to wear them out. Back midday for some lunch, ready for the 12:15 KO.

GGTTH

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Trains not dry as far as I know, will be at Waverley this afternoon so will check. Signs would be up by now if police had asked for a ban.

[WHAM]

Get up 7.30ish then taxi down to the Iron Horse for opening.

I do miss the bus journey through though and seeing the masses of hibbys on the M8.

GGTTH:flag:

[Green Man]

Because it's more of an occasion, train/bus journey, it's more of a day out as a whole and for lots of folk - me included - a few beers is part of that. I've looked for information about dry trains but couldn't find any earlier in the week - I'll have another look this afternoon.

[BroxburnHibee]

See you in there :wink: Take it the bar will be open at 11? :cb

That is what I am led to believe - however soft drinks for the designated driver :rolleyes:

See you in there - I'll be wearing a Hibs top :tee hee:

[DaveF]

Nah, no such luck!

Will see you at the station.

I'm no sound engineer (guitarist???) but the accousticts at Hampden??? They blast out the music as loud as they can, drown out all the 'atmosphere' unil the last possible minute (why do they do that?). Hats off to them though because they always manage to make you feel that you are listening to the music inside a huge beer barrell. The only plus was that after we won the league cup, they did us proud that day. :thumbsup:

[joe breezy]

Edinburgh to Glasgow train almost empty....

Good for me as got a table all to myself

Looks like Hampden will be deserted if this train is anything to go by

[I'm_cabbaged]

Glad I just checked my oil! Pit stop at garage and I'm on my way, 'mon the cabbage!

[joe breezy]

Just pulling in at Glasgow Queen Street

Exciting - reminds me of the anticipation of long walks to Parkhead & Ibrox

Turns out there are quite a few Hibbies further back on the train

I love the early drive through like today - there were loads of empty coaches heading East on M8 for pick ups...don~ know why but that is always the point the big game excitement kicks in :)

[Sprouleflyer]

9.00am train to Queen Street, packed solid with hibs fans and a few dons fans, atmosphere building! Now for some drink!!

[vercol36]

Working until 12 today. Worst...shift....ever. Ah well, four beers for the walk down to Persevere, hopefully a full house for stay-at-home fans!

[lyonhibs]
