Pre Derby plans..

[GreenCastle]

7.45 ko on the 27th..

What’s everyone planning to do before they head to the game ?

Expecting a very loud Hibs support and non stop singing for 90+ minutes.

[yonder1875]

Planning on heading to the roseburn for about 5pm.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Think you will struggle to get in at 5pm.

[yonder1875]

Aye, probably. I finish work at 4 so I can't go any earlier, just going to chance it.

[Kojock]

I just passed the Roseburn and Hibs fans are queuing already 😂 if only they had a loyalty point system in place.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Aye, probably. I finish work at 4 so I can't go any earlier, just going to chance it.

Good luck!

[iwasthere1972]

Mine? Get a ticket.

[Albanian Hibs]

Heading out about 1pm. Not sure where we are going, pals heading to roseburn so might end up there.

I'm guessing a good number of plans may involve daytime alcohol. Just a guess :greengrin

[SteveHFC]

1pm start for us on Wednesday. :hyper

[Pretty Boy]

Managed to secure a ticket so now trying to make some plans.

Unfortunately I have to attend a funeral in the afternoon so will be starting later than I usually would. Might head for the Hampton or somewhere city centre rather than the madness of the Roseburn or the Murrayfield.

Just picked this post by chance but everyone goes to the Roseburn. Does anyone ever go to the Murrayfield Bar just along from it?

[Diclonius]

Family Christmas event in Glasgow so not going - gutted. Will be watching on TV though once most of my relatives have left.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Working, so grab a burger and juice pre piggery.....

The Murrayfield Bar, as opposed to the hotel, always used to close on derby days. Not sure if it is still the case but was certainly that way for years.

Think it’s still the same there. Don’t think they allow many football fans in on Match days, not the type of customers they want.

I’m drinking in my house and will have the windows open to hear the fans in the murrayfield hotel before walking along the road.

[Frazerbob]

Not been for a good few years but used to go to the Murrayfield Bar if the Roseburn was full. It was always full of Hibbies but a lot less of a rammy than the Roseburn. They used to employ a strict no singing policy. If anyone started singing, all the bar staff would instantly stop serving until the singing stopped. It was pretty effective to be honest. Not been since the Murrayfield Hotel became a venue of choice so might be different now.

Bumping this thread.

I'm heading to the murrayfield hotel. Hoping its gonna be packed out so I can get away with drinking cans in the beer garden!

[SneakersO'Toole]

Meeting mid afternoon for a couple of pints before heading to Omar Khayaam for a curry and a couple more drinks before the match. Can't wait.

Last year they didn't mind us doing it cause the bar was at capacity so they weren't losing money. I get to go to a pub and save money by drinking my own beer so it's perfect! Unless it rains that is.

Diane's pool hall was the pre-derby venue of choice in recent years, sadly since it's demise thats no longer an option this time.
Will either be Platform 5, or just drink locally and jump on the 44 bus around 7.

[frazeHFC]

Drinks in town from midday and then the Murrayfield Hotel from 4ish. Buzzing :thumbsup:

[CMurdoch]

Was going to watch it on TV but given most of the Hibs crew are going out 6 hours b4 the game I might go to Tiny and get a ticket when one of many are not allowed in for being melted :aok::flag:

[Scouse Hibee]

M62 - M6 - M74 - A702 - then TV in the house.

Beamback for me. Bite to eat and a couple of pints down Leith, then ER for the game.

We also used to go to Diane's for pre Tiny drinks. Looking for an alternative that will be full of Hibby's other than the usuals (Roseburn, Murrayfield) ..... Will Platform 5 be full of Hibs fans???? Thought it may be a Jambo haunt.. Cannae Wait :flag:

Platform 5 will be mixed but will be more Hearts fans. They have previously had a no colours policy though so just be wary of that.

[GreenCastle]

Seems most are heading early to..

Platform 5
Murrayfield Hotel
Roseburn Bar

Anywhere else ?

Platform 5 has been popular with other away supports, won't be anything like Roseburn, which suits me these days. Mixed crowd, expect more of them than us but good big pub which plenty space.

I know some bams heading out at 2 :greengrin. Tamsons back of 4 then a taxi/No1 dorr to door.

Just done the White Lady in Corstorphine, breakfast and a couple of pints of John Smiths.

As a non ticket holder, will most likely aim for the Cask and Barrel for around half 5. I assume they'll be showing the game?

Definitely be on in the Cask , likely to be a majority of Hibbies in there as well.

The Golden Rule and McGowan's will be rammed with Jambos, wouldn't head to either to be honest. The Fountain don't allow football colours so if you dress accordingly you could get a pint in there.

Loads of folk are working plus starting 6 hours before kick off is pretty early.

[iwasthere1972]

That's shocking and only five hours until kick off. Hopefully it will pick up. I'd be heaving by about four if I started this early. Not had any drink all Christmas and my first pint will be about 5pm. Still plenty time for me to get trollied. That's if I wanted to.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Steady on mate, it's six hours until kick off. Pace yourself there.

Home to drop off luggage then a quick volte face to the Cask and Barrel for the duration

[iwasthere1972]

Does anybody know if you can still walk through to the Roseburn end from Gorgie Road. Always done it in the past but just checking. Easier than going all the way down towards the Roseburn Bar and going along the back road.

Just heading for town now. Few pints then here we go.........
