Inverness Weather

I know it’s a bit early but I see UK is going to be hit with blizzard conditions next weekend and Inverness is forecasted to be really bad

Can’t see anything to suggest that on the Met Office app but it’s not always the most accurate tbf

[Carheenlea]

40% chance of snow on Saturday in Inverness going by the iPad weather app.

Whether that consists of a little flurry or full blizzard isn’t clear at this stage.

The stadium is at sea level, should be fine. 🤞

3 degrees at game time may suggest freezing temps overnight. Do they have under soil heating?

[IberianHibernian]

Not sure if wild weather is good or bad for us , probably bad . They`re not havng a great season either .
Watched Hibs many times in pre season friendlies against Thistle and Caley in 70s and 80s and always remember sunny days and loads of Hibs goals . Have seen us play play aganst ICT in Inverness and have some happy memories ( vital 3 v 2 win in 2012 with Matt Doherty outstanding and Garry O`C scoring for example ) Would love to be there next week and hope we get a win and can look forward to the quarters .

[flash]

Probably best for us in a football sense if the game gets called off and we have more time to get the new boys up to speed.

Not so much for those travelling up of course but we need to win this game.

If the new boys aren’t up to speed then he plays his best eleven without them. Let’s just get the job done.

Good, hopefully we'll have a new manager by the time the rearranged fixture comes up.

I just went on the ticketing site to buy tickets and the sales are abysmal.

Lucky if we have shifted more than a quarter of the stand, and it's not a big stand by any stretch, which is unheard of for us in the Scottish Cup. Hopefully we see a wee surge now they are on general sale.

Should be a big wake-up to everyone at the club.

4 Degrees and light rain is the forecast for kick off.

I’m buzzing for this one, should be a good day out. Bring it on.

[Itsnoteasy]

Exactly. Those ones who complain that loyalty points or away season tickets are unfair. Here you have it, this is why they should be in place as these fans can be ar5ed to travel to Inverness whether we're winning or losing.

It’s fine, no need to worry.

We (allegedly) made a profit on Melkersen, the strategy is working 👍

And we have an exciting new link up with Bournemouth to look forward to…

In reality, I think most fans can see this squad of ***** will get nowhere near Scottish Cup success, and have voted with their feet on this one. (As they have done recently at ER with the increasingly early evacuations)

We've all seen too many managers with philosophies come and go

This is a banana skin of a tie where guys like Levitt and our young right backs get properly found out

If Levitt must play, play him as a 10 (as backup to Marcondes) but keep him miles and miles away from the engine room - we'll get overrun with him in there

Given the right back situation (Cadden not yet fit, Miller a bombscare, the two young lads costing us goals) it's obvious we need to shift to 352 for a few weeks

Like you, my family are making it a guid day oot. Giving the missus and her pal a lift up along wi my son.

We will split up when we land, the girls will do their thing. The big man will join me and other Hibbies for lunch.

Early dinner after the match, then hame

Let's hope the fitba' disnae completely spoil things.

If we win the cup I'll maybe jump on the pitch wi tap aff again, like in my siggy !!:greengrin

No chance Boyle could play wing back nowadays.

We’ve also played 352 previously with many of these players and been utterly terrible. What formation after that? Can’t be 433, 343 or 451 either.

This isn’t due to formations, tactics or formula. This is down to the players.

I’m one of the fans who has chucked in the towel for this match. Forfar was chronic. Sadly weekends are too short and Inverness is too far for me to give up a day at the weekend whilst we’re playing so poorly.

The line between Perth and Inverness is currently closed due to bad flooding around Kingussie. Not sure when it Weill reopen.

I don't blame you one bit.

My post wasn't in any way a dig at those not going. It's a pretty clear message to the club though, as was the crowd on Saturday. Hibs away support in the Scottish Cup has always been consistent, it looks like we will struggle to hit 4 figures at the weekend.

Quickest walking route is up the main road,down the steps at Rose Street car park through the side entrance to the station car park then into main concourse.
For bus connection walk on past Rose Street car park and Starbucks coffee and turn left.

[Carheenlea]

A very poor uptake, but it’s a day for the hardcore.

Often the best backing the club gets at times. Sometimes it’s not just about numbers.

Indeed, I remember the rangers semi under ross...only 9-10k that night but what a result and what a support we gave. If we somehow get a win against Celtic there'll definitely be a few more for sure!

When yer heading along Longman road after the game and you get to the bridge that crosses the railway line after the bp garage , nip down the steps and you can get to the station through a car park past the bus station. Might save you 5 or 10 minutes.

[Sparrows tongue]

To be fair, it’s not the most inviting or appealing of away games!

[Keepthefaith]

planning on driving up - is it better to park in the city centre and walk to the ground or is there parking in and around the industrial units? is there anywhere near the stadium that's decent for lunch?

[Pagan Hibernia]

I'd disagree with that but I love Inverness generally.

People are thoroughly fed up with Hibs at the moment though and i can totally understand deciding to not make the trek north

Innes bar on innes street,good boozer with decent pub grub.5 min drive to stadium.might have to pay for parking at portland place though.normally space there

If you see yellow snow, avoid. It's probably a muckle big banana skin lurking below the surface.

Plenty of people will be parking on Longman Drive behind Magnet or by the Scania dealer down to euro car parts. If you are there early enough there's usually space in the Jewson car park or Rexel car park. 5 mins walk to the stadium from there. That's where I usually park. You'd be paying £4-£5 if you park in town or £5 to park at the stadium.

[LewysGot2]

Google maps walking route is fine but go into the station via the car park rather than walking round to the academy st entrance.

[DH1875]

The 17.25 to Glasgow is a replacement bus service to Perth so need to figure where the bus is parked.
How do replacement buses work? Do they put on more than one bus at a time? Might have 100 people on that train but one bus only carries half that.

The rail replacement buses usually leave from the pick up/drop off area between the Railway Station and the Eastgate shopping centre. Head towards platform 1 and go out of the station past platform 1 and the buses should be there.

[Jamesie]

Still scarred from the Ross County fiasco on 23 December, when I got to Inverness and had to turn right around again, so not inclined to travel that level of distance again, particularly when I’m already in Dublin on Sunday for a rugby day trip.

Are the bus replacements not between Perth and Glasgow? Sure the trains are running between Perth and Inverness

There tends to be fewer passenger travelling when they know its replacement buses but ScotRail probably won't have factored in 800-1000 Hibs fans going to Inverness, however not all of them will be going by train of course.

Anybody been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for after the game?

BBC weather forecast it looks fine, that app also appears to be a complete waste of time though.

I don’t want to risk getting caught up driving in some snow storm on the way back so was thinking of just sacking it if a reliable forecast app says it could be bad.

Its a bus if you're going to Glasgow, trains to from Perth to Edinburgh are being diverted via Fife to avoid the engineering works at Dunblane.

Coach companies don't really want to do football buses these days. Some will but lots won't. Company I drove for wouldn't touch them. It's also why the cost of hiring a coach for football is pretty heavy these days.

They should have helped bolster the support this time around by offering coaches.

I'm at 200m above sea level near Pitlochry and there is a bit of snow, little snow below 140m so the drumochter pass will be pretty white, hopefully the snow ploughs will have opened it early enough for folk driving up.

Canny see there being any problem with the weather in Inverness. I'm in Highland Perthshire and the snow went sleety today so not too bad here.

Drumochter and then Schlod Summt are always the dodgy points on the A9 but looks OK just now.
