Hibs.net Cup Final Buses *** SEE POST 209****

[Pretty Boy]

As promised .net will once again be running buses to a cup final. Due to feedback from previous trips we will be doing things a little bit differently this time so please read below carefully.

Bus 1 BUS FULL

Bus 1 will be open to all and is booked into the Clydesdale Cricket Club before the game. Club opens at 12 for soft drinks, pies etc and will be serving alcohol from 12.30pm. Pick up points are detailed below.

Bus 2

Bus 2 will be a family friendly option. Groups of Adults are allowed on this bus but bear in mind it is being run for those with kids to travel in a child friendly atmosphere so behave sensibly. This will be running straight to the game and straight home after.

Bus 3
This bus is also booked into Clydesdale Cricket Club and is open to all.

Behaviour

As hinted to above we have had issues in the past with people reporting inappropriate behaviour on our buses. No one wants to be a kill joy. If you intend coming to sing Hibs songs, enjoy a drink (not on the bus), have a laugh with your mates and generally have a good time then you are more than welcome. If you act like a 15 year old who has just chugged his first bottle of MD20/20 then find another way to get to the game. All buses are strictly no alcohol on board.

Booking

Post your numbers, preferred pick up point and which bus you want to travel on on this thread.

Payment & Price

Payment is made in advance via Paypal. Please state clearly on the payment who you are and what it's for. If you can't pay by Paypal then PM me and I can meet you at a home (or away) game before the final to get your payment. No payment will be taken on the day unless there is exceptional circumstances, again PM me if this applies. Pricing is £5 for under 12s, £10 for everyone else. Paypal address is bank@hibs.net.

[Pretty Boy]

Any update on this mate?

Unfotunately doesn't look like a goer. Availability on buses is non existent and the few places that do have are quoting ridiculous prices. Added to that getting booked in somewhere in Glasgow is now nigh on impossible and it's going to be a struggle.

What I will say is that we always have drop outs so most of those on the waiting list will have a decent chance of getting a seat, indeed 2 of those on the list already have done.

[Speedy]

PB, I'm now sorted for a bus so can come off the waiting list. Cheers!

[Pretty Boy]

Just a few wee things for updating:

Firstly if you haven't yet paid or made contact re payment can you either pay or PM me to make arrangements, if I don't hear from you by Monday I'll be turning you maroon, if I don't hear from you by Wednesday then There is a hefty waiting list so seats will be up for grabs! I'm happy to accept money on the day but I need to know that's your plan.

For those on buses 1 & 3: The cricket club will be serving alcohol from 12.30 onwards. We will likely be there a few minutes before that so please don't go Radge at the staff as that's the rules. Not that I expect anyone will of course:agree: The club will be putting on pies when we arrive, these will be FOC as Hibs.net has covered the cost of. We'll be looking to be back on the bus about 2ish to get parked up and give everyone time to get up to Hampden in plenty of time. The club is about 10-15 minutes from the designated coach parking area which is the same again walking to the ground.

Finally I'll be sending a PM round all the names I have with my mobile number and asking for one from each group in return. There has been occasion in the past where people have been unable to find buses after the game so it makes it easier if I can send out a text or make a few calls rather than parading up and down the streets of Glasgow searching for people. Obviously if people would rather not give out their number it's no problem but it could potentially make life easier.

Hope that all makes sense, if there's any problems let me know.:aok:

Bus 3

Difficult to disagree with any of that.

Quite what the standard is for passing a PSV MOT is, is really worrying.

I wouldn't have let my kids go to school on any of the Hibs Net busses I have ever been on, but that's not Hibs Net's fault.

The fact that this was the drivers first drive of a bus since getting his licence didn't help either.

My thanks for organising the bus, it is a completely thankless task, and some of the grumbling was unfortunate, unwarranted and undeserved.

[Since90+2]

Unless you are driving your own motor there is no easy way to get back from Hampden.

It took almost an hour to get on the train from Mount Florida back to Central and then it was another 45 minute que for the train at Queen Street. Eventually got back to Edinburgh at 8pm. The bonus with the bus is at least you are guaranteed a seat and you don't have to stand queuing for hours.

[woodythehibee]

Bus wasn't parked miles away from stadium. It was 2 mins from the drop off.

Most folk I know who travelled by car got back about 20 mins before us so not exactly a massive difference.

[Pretty Boy]

To address a few things:

The layout of the 70 seater buses isn't at all ideal. The 3-2 set up is a bit cramped and strange. However if we want to do the numbers we do at the price we offer then it is a case of sacrificing comfort for numbers. If the feedback is that that's not good enough then if I organise buses again then we'll do far smaller numbers at a fiver or tenner more for a 56 or 63 seater. For info we enquired with different coach companies to try and use smaller and frankly better coaches and were quoted upwards of £800.

It's unfortunate 1 of the buses was parked a distance from the ground. Personally I wasn't overly impressed with the policing and stewarding of traffic when we arrived, it seemed a bit of a free for all which is unusual. FWIW I did ask about the other bus being so far away and was told the Police moved it on from a locatiom far closer to the ground.

It did take a long time to get home but we were far from the only ones. I went for a couple of pints on ER post game and most of the people I spoke to who arrived back before us had only been home about 15-20 minutes and there was a fair few buses still rolling back to ER and people joining us in the pub a good 30-40 minutes after we got back.

To end on a positive I thought the cricket club was really good. Queues at the bar weren't at all bad, service was good, staff and members were friendly, kids and big kids got to have a wee kick about on the pitch, the drinks deals were decent and the food offering was good as well. I'd be more than happy to go there again before a game.

So apologies for the things that weren't great. We have probably tried to keep taking big numbers at cheap prices for too long and moving forward it's probably time to cut the numbers and up the price to focus on a bit more comfort rather than just trying to get as many people as we can there and back.

[LithgaeHibby]

To those who spent ages in buses stuck in traffic, if it makes it any better I think the whole area was just gridlock. I parked off Prospecthill Road, east of the stadium, thinking that heading away from Hampden through Rutherglen would be quicker, joining the M74 at junction 2. Got back to the car at 5.20 and joined the M74 at 6.30! Most of the time I just had my engine off and nothing was moving. I've yet to find the best way of getting out of Hampden.

[Jay]

My take - the buses aren't up to standard, it's time to move on to better quality and pay more per head. The banter on the bus was good though and the singing after the cricket club was superb :)

Where they were parked was nothing to do with hibs.net or the bus company. Equally there's nothing anybody can do about the speed of the journey home, traffics traffic whether your in a car or a bus.

Cricket club was excellent. Considering they had 140 people arrive all at once expecting a drink I thought they organised it very well. Kids getting a kick about was an extra bonus. Would definitely take up their offer of having us back!

Thanks for organising it all PB , great job.

Mount Florida was shut when we got there, got a taxi within 10mins, cost £4, and was sat in a restaurant 'near the station around 5.45

I parked at the houses up from Toryglen - left at FT and went to J1A. Got away before they stopped the traffic to let the buses out and was home (Bonnyrigg) for 630.

[Makaveli]

Many thanks to the organisers.

Bus 2 got us there in plenty time and back to Kaimes for 7pm.

FWIW I thought the bus was fine for the job but would happily pay more for something better next time if that's what's decided.

The bus was a bit cramped, but it wasn't too bad for us as my daughter didn't take up much space:greengrin the cricket club was great and the kids getting on the pitch for a kick about was good.
