Dunbar United parking / train station

[KeithWright9]

There seem to be tickets left for the Dunbar United game tomorrow:

https://app.fanbaseclub.com/club/dunbar-united

Anyone recommend the best places to park? Alternatively I see there is a train at 6:30 from Waverley and one back about half nine that only takes about 25 minutes - any idea how long it would take to walk to the ground.

Railway line goes right behind the ground and the station is only a 10 min walk away [emoji106]

I can see the pitch from my window. Tenner entry and I’ll even stick some pies on and authentically burn them.

Is it a grass or an astro pitch?
Any cover from the elements

A section of covered standing it looks like. I read from their Facebook page that they plan to build a new stand - with weather like this it can't come soon enough!

To be fair the pitch (grass) looks very good.

Need to ensure they're burnt but also soggy and lukewarm in the middle for that proper authentic experience

[andrew70]

The pies from the butchers in Dunbar, that they sell at the game, are fantastic if on offer tomorrow night.

[berwickhibee]

Always a great surface at Hallhill. You are better going through the new housing estate just past asda for access and parking.

I can see the train platform , I’ll let you know when they’re on their way down.
You must be close to Colin from BB

Can you do a check if you live that near, if they will have any hot food on sale please😀

I've asked the powers that be... watch this pie space....

[Niffy]

They say YES to pies.

Any chance of some first team players turning out

No, the first team squad is in England, Hibernian have confirmed that this game is for the development squad

Right enough, I got a ticket any way as I missed out on the Raith ones

Billy....Grass and there's cover from the elements....but it never rains in Sunny Dunny.

Those pies are good. However, I see mention of the Linton Butchers. I think they have “upgraded” as those are the best pies in the region.

I see the Preston vs Hearts game at the Pennypitt sold out tonight…. Do you think the Hibees will manage a sell out in Dunbar?

[wookie70]

Miserable night to attend my first game for a very long time. Nice we ground and passed the temperature test to get in. What happens if you fail do you get your money back

[Billy Whizz]

0-0 after 25 mins

Cheers Billy.

I saw a photo that the right back trialist was playing again. Are the other 3 trialists playing tonight as well?

Goalie and the 2 other trialists from Friday, from the academy down south
Can’t see the other one from the other night
Young and McIntyre starting tonight. It’s so wet, hard to tight on my phone

Well done to all attenders tonight.

[wookie70]

Not the best night for fitba and the young guns struggled with the slick pitch. Keeper made a mess of the first goal but played well after that. Thought both the trialists did well and looked physically up to the challenge. Dunbar were the better side for me and our youngsters should have learnt from that. We tried to play the ball to quickly and continually gave away possession cheaply. Nobody looked ready for the step up to me but it was only a single game in hard conditions.One thing we talked about was how quiet we were as a team. Not many shouts

Wookie, can’t disagree with the key points. We actually commented on the way home how quiet they were, but most of the lads are only 16 and a few are 17.
Playing against older and stronger opposition will bring them on though
Dunbar have a good little set up, good pitch and we got a warm welcome
Not sure when these lads next have a game

I thought the keeper was caught out by a bad deflection? I also thought the trialists were average at best but I agree about us being quiet....it was a tough physical game but remember most of our players are 16 or 17.

The Dunbar Lads played well, knocked it about well and far more passes on the deck than us. They were the typical junior side with a silky left sided midfielder, tough moaning centre mid and a couple of big centre halves. Like most junior side they played efficient football keeping it simple and making sure you got a cross in or a shot on goal when you got to the final third. The type of football I like. They certainly showed our youngsters that they have a bit to go in terms of composure and strength. That is just the type of games the lads need though as they will learn from that. As you said Dunbar had a really nice wee set up.

He mistimed his jump imo and tried to palm it over the bar as he was on the way down. It was a big deflection but he made a horlicks of it. Some great saves in the second half though

Any idea who he is? Is he Scottish? (I’m guessing you’ll have been able to hear him shout at a small venue like that)

American by all accounts.

[KeithWright9]

Good Dunbar performance , some of their earlier pre-season results suggested this would be comfortable for our young Hibs side. The Dunbar side looked comfortable, and well ahead of the CS side on Friday.

[Brightside]

Is he not the goalie from Battery.

Must’ve been at a different game. I thought both trialists were 2 of our better players. Num 6 especially

I thought the number 6 had a very good game too. Up against some bigger and older players.

That was my view too. Number 2 defended really well but never done much when we had the ball. Number 6 held his own physically and got stuck in. Kept it simple with his passing perhaps too simple but the movement wasn't great ahead of him. Both probably looked
decent due to their strength and their determination to get stuck in. I thought most of the team gave Dunbar too much space and were a bit timid.

[Jamesie]

How were the pies?

Funny you ask, had one and it was a real pie😀

The lad in left / centre midfield No 16 can certainly play and it struck me he might’ve played before at a slightly better level than he’s at now.
Very composed and comfortable, quick feet and apart from snatching at a chance late on his only mistake was his man-bun.

The torn faced midfielder (bearded fellah) needed a kick in the shins.

Dunbar sacked their manager today as well

They looked really decent to me and played as a team. Strange to sack someone at this point but I suppose it might not be football related.

[KeithWright9]

Their manager wasn’t in the dug out for the Hibs game , they were led by their first team coach. Also heard their assistant resigned the week before the Hibs game.

He was away on holiday. There has been issues with manager and committee long before now.

Was it right they phoned him on holiday to sack him? Really poor if so

[berwickhibee]

Yes, this is correct. The man gave years of service as a player and manager, an undeserved way to leave.
