Was at the station in Aberdeen yesterday and saw a large notice from the British Transport Police saying that on return from Aberdeen between a 3h period following the game, there will be a no alcohol policy.
Just letting folk know before they get their crates taken off them, similar to when travelling to Scotland games.

Our train going home is at 19.10 so am hoping the police only apply the ban on first train back after the game, and they dont have anyone checking on the later train.

Is there a potential for violence or will the police be more on top of things than normal given the recent game at ER?
Also, does anyone know how the flaming sheep guy is doing?

There is always potential for violence when Hibs play Aberdeen. After the game last season we were walking back to the train station and the pub accross the road from it had about 15 or 20 Aberdeen Casuals in it.

I was wondering if there is more chance of a 'revenge' attack. We all heard about 10 different rumours about the boy on the train i.e. he was attacked by casuals etc. Some dons fans/'fans' may be under that impression still.

You can always go to Stirling (Dunblane train) change there and connect with the Glasgow to aberdeen train. Simples!!! Same price too! No Ban either!

That would be fine if the Aberdeen train went near Dunfermline. First stop after Haymarket is Leuchars or Dundee.

There was no ban after last Aberdeen game at ER when I ended up going to Dundee that night (was not on the train where guy got burnt!). Suspect there will be no police presence and ban will be easy to circumvent, but one would think police would have more important concerns given Friday the busiest night of the year for them - show themselves to be idiots yet again.

The problem first started last year when we got beat 2-0 in Inverness... There was no booze allowed on that train because some stupid Yams trashed a train , sang sectarian songs and spoiled it for everybody else on there previous visit up north...

INCREASED BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE PRESENCE FOR ABERDEEN v HIBERNIAN FIXTURE
Passengers travelling between Edinburgh and Aberdeen on Saturday (19 December 2009) will see an increase in British Transport Police (BTP) officers patrolling trains and stations – the day Aberdeen and Hibernian meet in a Scottish Premier League fixture.
Supporters and other passengers should also note that the sale and consumption of alcohol will not be permitted on trains travelling between Aberdeen and Edinburgh after the match - between 6.00pm and 9.00pm.
Inspector Bob Cameron, of British Transport Police said:
“We are taking these measures to ensure that passengers can travel and rail staff can go about their duties without inconvenience or any kind of hindrance.”
Inspector Cameron continued:
“British Transport Police and our rail industry partners encourage football supporters to use public transport to travel to matches and although the vast majority of those who do so are a real credit to their club, we will not tolerate any kind of antisocial behaviour."
___________________________________________
So no alcohol ban on the trains going up.

Stay in A'deen drinking heavily and irresponsibly for over three hours after the game before taking a massive carry-out onto the last train back.

A classy, structured and elegant wine from second growth Château Ducru- Beaucaillou would help wile away the train time.
A truly magnificent nose of cassis and violet precedes a structured palate showing blackcurrant and blackberry fruits, firm tannins, a refreshing acidity and mineral notes. A superb effort by Château Ducru- Beaucaillou in this fantastic vintage.

My personal favourite in the vintage is the stunning St Jullien's, which epitomises that breed, displaying both elegance and an extra dash of generosity. A fabulous rich nose leads to a structured palate with a lovely weight of ripe, creamy raspberry and loganberry fruit with liquorice and toast hints. The fruit quality is outstanding, with real energy and freshness, topped off by a long, pure finish.
Doesn't break the bank either, and a perfect Christmas tipple.
