Nothing on the official site yet. I'm wondering if it will be pay at the gate or all ticket.

Remembering previous visits they seem to be the most disorganised bunch. We will get both end stands and part of the main stand, and I know it's a Wednesday but I can see chaos ahead.

If anybody hears anything can they post a reply.

Cheers.

I like Perth and quite fancy the short trip there...however parking is a nightmare unless you are there at least an hour before KO

**Ell_Chrisso** · 10-12-2009 10:27 AM

Been blooming waiting years for Hibs to get an away tie to Saints in Perth, and im almost certain to miss it! TYPICAL.

That said, id sit anywhere in the ground. LOL. Know too many folks up here neways.

I wouldn't get too worried about it mate, Saints haven't got a great support, so im sure Hibs will get either both goal ends, or half the main along with the away goal end. Either way, they will let Hibs fans pay at gate.

Where do you normally park?

I'd wager that down-the-slope has previously parked in the stadium car park

Hint: don't

***O'Rourke3*** · 10-12-2009 10:39 AM

My favourite away game, got a friend lives 10 mins walk from the ground and plenty of parking in his drive, fed before and after the game and if I could persaude the wife to go, a free drive home having had a few drinks too.

**Ell_Chrisso** · 10-12-2009 10:40 AM

Yea id stay clear of the stadium for parking.
Theres a BnQ & Tesco right across the road, which you'd probs get away with.
And plenty of streets up the hill, or along towards Tulloch.

Defo easier in Perth than it is Hibs IMO

In the residential area behind the car garages

I used to know folk in the house at the entrance to the Crem, but not any more, I'm hoping Michelle will let me park beside her flat

Don't park at Tesco, they will ticket you, but across the bypass is Dobbies and the former auction mart where there will be plenty parking.

as I said Saints have given over both ends to away fans, so plenty space, I just have memories of only two gates being open in the past (and we didn't riot like the Huns!)

Thats pretty much where you need to go tbh, if you aren't up early enough. Either that, or go in behind B&Q.

Theres plenty of streets of the main one up the hill from the ground.. you cant go wrong.

Car park can be a nightmare, probably best avoided if you dont mind a short walk.

Residential area up the hill is best and cutting down where the 208 Hotel is.

Definitely steer clear of Tesco car park.

I get to walk from my house to a Hibs game, I cant remember the last time I did that.

Too late David, that space is already taken!!!!

Thats because the last time you were probably running around and not walking

PS - you doing a Christmas collection for the appeal?

Are you guys paving over your gardens in time for the invasion?

Why would this match be all-ticket?

I can't ever recall an all-ticket match in Perth.

The ground holds 10,000 and the Saintees have around 2,000 supporters.

**GreenCastle** · 10-12-2009 02:41 PM

I would hope that we would take around 3,000 + fans to this game.

Ok it's a Wednesday evening - but it's really not far and it's a nice little stadium to visit.

Will be a tough game as they have impressed me this season - but if we play well.......

**Cropley10** · 10-12-2009 03:06 PM

What is the situation with tickets? When do they go on sale please?

Me too

I remember a few years ago when we took a great crowd to Tannadice (around 4000+) and think we ended up winning 3v0

Many people seem to be in the area for Christmas / New Year so the exiled Hibees should be represented well

:notworthy:

I was trying to have a serious think if I've ever actually walked from my house to a game.

I think I've probably walked from Tynecastle home to East Craigs (via the pubs in Corstorphine obviously), and I may have walked from McDiarmid back to my other house in Perth when they were last in the SPL .. but I'm pretty sure I've never walked to a game before.

Anyway ... chances are I'll do the lazy bassa opt out, and talk the missus into dropping me off at the stadium.

To answer your other question ...

The Dnipro Appeal is one long ongoing collection

not just for Christmas.

***Monktonhall 7*** · 10-12-2009 04:31 PM

I think it will depend on the next 3 games, but if results are decent, then we will take a big travelling support. Mates of mine who have never been to an away game for years are already talking about going up. Hopefully will be a great night in between holidays.

***.Sean.*** · 10-12-2009 04:57 PM

I thought the game was a 3PM kick off...

Obviously not, still be going though

I was just assuming it was a public holiday, im off for 2 weeks over xmas and nae year and thought the majority of people would be in the same situation.

Perth on a cold wednesday night it is then

**Greendreamer** · 10-12-2009 06:57 PM

Well, I've already got my late start organised for my night shift that night. Park up at my folks house which is all of 5 mins walk from McDiarmid. Great when there is no fannying about for parking.

Aye but it would be doonhill tae Hunters in them days. Will ye no need a camel tae get back up yon hill tae yer posh gaff efter the game?

How do you fancy approaching St J to hold a Perthshire Hibees Dnipro stall in the car park? I'm sure we could round up some volunteers.
