    Pre-cup final drinks venues?

    Anyone recommend anywhere for a couple of bus loads to go?

    Have previously been at the Church on the Hill and 100 acre however both of these are not an option this time around.

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Cheers.

    We're going to the Kings Park hotel, as we did at the LC Final. They had a room of Ross County fans. Doubt they will be doing that with Rangers fans for obvious reasons, so they may have space.

    Hmm had a look at their location and it seems they are near the sevco end of the ground so not sure if they will entertain Hibs fans. I've left a message anyway so will wait and see what they say.

    They are mate yeah. Someone I know takes his bus there and he'd had a text after the semi inviting them along again, Hibs fans only.

    I've never been, but heard very mixed reviews of it though.

    I was there last time was difficult getting a drink however atmosphere was great. Had loads of activities on the actual pitch. Wonder if drinking on the pitch/outside would be regarded as drinking in the streets which is obv illegal over there

    not a clue, however the guy has been holding hibs parties in there for a few years now, always a good laugh. its a guest list scenario, hibs tunes and goals/games on big screen.

    I got an email from the Shed saying they are having another Hibs party.

    Anyone going?

    Thought it was good at the cup final.

    Might try sneaking into the brazen head early doors.

    You definitely won't find any Rangers fans in or near there.

    Agree: The Shed was excellent before the LC final.

    decent laugh and even though heaving, easy enough to get drinks etc! The Celtic cup final 2013 was superb and think he's going back to that format

    Was in the shed before the Celtic cup final and had a great time. Only problem is it's at the rangers end of the ground and your gonna have to walk past/through thousands of them to get to the Hibs end (and it's no a quick walk either).

    Any idea where I'd need to get to to walk with the hibs crowd? Happy to get a taxi from shed to somewhere but not sure I want to run the gauntlet with Huns. Really enjoy the shed so would like to go there prior to game.

    Horrible sess pit of a pub. I'd genuinely rather drink in The Louden Tavern.

    Not saying there won't be other hibs fans around that area before the game and of course there will be the 500 Hibs fans in the shed so I'm guessing something must be in place for them to have been given the go ahead to hold a hibs party. Pretty sure the yams were in there for that cup final and Dundee Utd were there before that so it's normally the teams at that end of the ground that get the shed.
    Don't know if you walked it before but we walked it last time and it took a good 25mins. Past by loads of other bars/pubs full of other hibs fans but would reckon they'll be full of rangers fans this time around. Think you also walk past the church on the hill which will be jumping with them. I wouldn't walk it unless I was part of a group but then a large group of Hibs fans walking around that side of the ground will attract trouble so I'd probably just get a taxi. Won't cost that much and will only be a couple of quid if there's 4 of you sharing.

    Thanks mate. Ive walked it each time with no issues, however never against either set of Huns so never experienced a bit of bother. Being as I'll be with the old man, wife and mum ... Not keen on the prospect of any bother!

    Got into the 100 Acre but its numbers are way down this time due to confirmation parties taking up the function room.

    Shed is good, but I'd be reluctant to run the gauntlet to Hampden from there tbh.

    The train station

    Montord is right behind our end and the International is just down the road. Both difficult to get in before the game but should be fine after it. Went to the Montford after the LC final and was full but got in OK.

    Does the Montfort or the International let in kids?
