Ibrox travel etc

Any train, doesn’t make a difference.
No pubs near the ground for us since The Albion closed down. My crowd usually drink in the city centre, or even in Edinburgh and get a later train.
Transport from city centre to the ground.....get an Uber. Costs about a fiver. DO NOT get the underground. It’s the most hideous experience you will ever have. Even without colours you will stick out like a sore thumb by not joining in with their bigot fest sing-along.
Getting back after the game, walk. Takes about half an hour but make sure you’ve no colours in show.

Getting the subway to and from Govan isn’t too bad

Subway is fine. They’ll probably march us back down to Govan station after the game and stick us on a single train which will go straight back to Buchanan Street without any stops.

I used to always get the subway to Ibrox early doors and never had any bother. I never wear colours to games anyway so that wasn't a problem.
I believe the subway to Ibrox is not an option anymore so I'll have a couple of pint in the city centre then get the subway to Govan. To avoid the hordes it's sometime an idea to go the 'wrong way' on the subway. I'll be on the 12 midday Scotrail train to Queen Street and will likely head for a pint in the Counting House or similar then jump on the subway about 1.30.

All eyes were on my lad and i and i was bricking it big time i don't mind admitting. I somehow valiantly spoke up "how did ye get on the day?" "4-1 tae us " (Falkirk they had played on the day) "Aye" says I "whae' scored?" "McCoist got all four" someone responded "**** me, he's some banana " says i. Silence ensued and we made it to Queen Street in one piece>
The moral of the tale?..... Feigning that you give **** about the Hun can be good for your health.

Where is the car park? Is it usually a nightmare to get into and then out of at the end??
I’m taking my boy so this will be the first time I drive.
Considering getting the train instead.

Are we likely to be out the car park by half past 5?

I took my sons through by train then subway a few years ago - assuming we’d be in a throng of hibees all the way to Ibrox. I got that wrong. Plenty green and white on train to Queen Street but we ended up the only Hibs on crammed subway. We were treated to the predictable caveman songs but no real hassle until we walked the gauntlet outside the station. A few badly aimed gobs in our direction to go with the shouts of ‘fenian bastirts’ . I think my sons being so young probably helped avoid a cowardly attack. Sharing a train with that poisonous mob is just not worth the risk but a life lesson for my boys who’d never seen adults so hateful and messed up.

Midday train has just left Waverley. Fair few Hibs fans and the usual east coast zombies as well. Enjoying a bottle of Elvis Juice, couple of cans to go then a pint before the subway.
Hope over expectation today, if we can keep it tight early doors I think we can nick something.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Car park is open. Just met my first ever decent steward as well. It's a sign, we are pumping this lot.
