Morton away

[Billy Whizz]

Due at cappielow in early December. Does anyone know if we any covered seating at cappielow. I know some away fans get the uncovered behind the goals, but was wondering if we get any seats in their main stand?

I'm sure we get half of one of the covered stands as well as one of the the uncovered ends. Not sure how many tickets in the covered bit though.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Big group of us planning on heading through to this. Got visions of Cowdenbeath last season! Anyone trained it to Cappielow from Waverly before?

There only is one covered stand, the main one. I'd guess we'd have some allocation there, possibly 500?

You'd need to change at Queen Street and get Gourock train from central to Cartsdyke, it's a five minute walk to the ground from there. Forty minutes on the train from central and not all trains stop there.

Is a james hunt of a journey by train.

No there isn't, theres two covered stands. The main stand and the stand opposite is covered and has seating at the front and terracing to the rear

[Pretty Boy]

Looking forward to this one. Big old style terracing even with the benches, that no one uses, bolted in.

Likely to be slightly more pleasant in late April as opposed to early December though.

Train to Queen street across to Central and train to Port Glasgow. If I'm remembering correctly but it must over 30 years since I went there by train.

Just read Cartsdye is the closest station

Cartsdyke (sp?) is right next to the stadium. Away end backs right onto it. Its further down the line though than Port Glasgow so dont be getting off there.

Fair enough, I'd call that a covered terrace with a small amount of seating at the front.

[iwasthere1972]

Haven't been to Cappielow since 1972/73 season when we beat them 3-0. Went on the Pentland Hibs branch bus that left from the White Hart in the Grassmarket. The stadium looks much the same now as it did all those years ago.

Happy days and more to come.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Train sounds like a treck and a half(as I imagined). Done the two trains to St Mirren but this is about an extra 20 mins or so each way I think. Supporters bus might be a better option for us? Prefer a train trip but 4 trains and 4 hours nearly ain't great

A trek and a half!? Your total travelling time by train in 1hr 30mins (each way)???


Havn't check the prices but you may be cheaper splitting the jouney up if there is 3 or 4 of you's. Check getting a groupsaver to Queen Steet return, and a return ticket from Central to Cartsdyke.

I checked that last night, it is indeed cheaper. IIRC its £6.90 return for the Gla Central - Cartsdyke return.

[LancashireHibby]

Booked my trains a couple of weeks ago, Wigan-Glasgow Central and then on to Cartsdyke. Should be a good trip (as long as it stays dry!)

[Billy Whizz]

Just noticed that we haven't been given any covered seating for this match.

Yeah, I saw that too. Prices for rain like Cowdenbeath last November.....?
Never been so soaked.

[tamig]

Its not really. A change at Queen Street to Central. Not bad at all. Just beware on the platform at Cartsdyke for the return journey though - especially if the bulk of the support have gone. Not a very welcoming spot.

[Hiber-nation]

Aw bollox. I assumed away fans got some of the covered bit. Only £17 I suppose....

[Lucius Apuleius]

Tickets on sale yet? Don't see them on the fishul site.

that was the last time i was there as well, sure jim orourke scored the 3 goals for us.

Hibs said they are, details on the official site

I couldn't see anything until I logged in to the e-ticketing system.
Got mine now. :thumbsup:

Is it unreserved seating😄

What trains you on?

[Baldy Foghorn]

Hope to Falkirk it's a dry day...............

[marinello59]

And uncovered I think . :greengrin

[Jonnyboy]

And uncovered I think . :greengrin

:agree:

The seating is akin to what we used to have at the Dunbar end a million years ago - benches and no cover. Wonder if we'll get issued with yellow rainmates? :greengrin

[Baldy Foghorn]

:agree:

The seating is akin to what we used to have at the Dunbar end a million years ago - benches and no cover. Wonder if we'll get issued with yellow rainmates? :greengrin

Rest assured no-one will sit if it's wet, or the whole away end will get the Duke of Argyles in time for Christmas

[Billy Whizz]

The Info on one of the grounds websites, says that we get half of the old main stand. Wonder why we're not getting this. We should stick them miles away the next time they come to ER, if this is the best they can give us. Home fans under 2 covered area's, away fans.....

[monktonharp]

Never been there, and looking forward to it. how are we not getting a covered stand/terracing? the wee Dublin end seems good to me:greengrin

Maybe for our fans reps to take up on behalf of the supporters

[Lucius Apuleius]

Boogers have only put them up in last couple of hours!!! :-)

[monktonharp]

On 12 December 2008, Morton announced the purchase of a stand from longtime rivals St. Mirren, who were leaving their Love Street home to move to Greenhill Road.[4] It will be re-erected at the "Wee Dublin end".[4] It was also announced two of St. Mirren's floodlights had also been purchased,[4] to be put at either end of the Cowshed.

Did that stand go up then, doubt it as Wee Dublin end uncovered.............Would imagine tickets would be available at ground on game day........

It's still not been built.


They also installed wooden seats behind the goals in the late 70s, with the intention to cover that area a few years after. They still haven't got round to that either.....



As an aside: Morton Fans boycotted Easter Road in 1982 (I think) because of the violence. That was a few years before Hibs had any casuals.

On a nice sunny day it would be ,but if it's teaming down with rain there is no hiding place you are total exposed to the elements .
I worked in Greenock for years when there were over ten thousand jobs still in the Shipbuilding Industry and the big sugar boats docked to take thier produce up to Tate and lyale sugar factory All long gone now and waterfront completely transformed .But the ground hasn't changed much .
Nice Wee drive down from Paisley and views across Clyde to Dumbarton rock .
But you won't find a classy boozer like the Alamo in Paisley .:greengrin

Aw naw, Ronnie's back.

He'll soon be rabitting on again about the cultural capital of Paisley......


:wink:

[ALF TUPPER]

Still the same old place and not changed much .... So, look out your flares ( that'll be the retro slacks from back of t'wardrobe and not the pyrotechnics), platform shoes and Charlie's Angels tank-tops . We're off to Cappielow.

Back to the Future. 👍
