Nucky Thompson Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 A wee heads up to people travelling into Gorgie early for the football tomorrow. There might be a wee bit of a disruption with road closures etc. An Orange parade leaves Dalry at 11.30am heading along Gorgie and down Westfield road, it then goes along to Saughton Park where it finishes.

Smack Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 What are the criteria to be allowed a march? As much as I cringe, and to an extent sympathise with Hibs, would they be allowed to march through Gorgie in opposition to Petrie and Farmer? At least it would be relevant to Edinburgh. Why are these minority movements permitted to close off streets? It's an annoyance. It should be stopped. Unless you want a long march for freedom of course. Then I'll support you.

hueyview Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 There was the YES stall which seemed to go down OK at the recent Derby game, and i hope this, a NO rally passes without event as well. There is a march, as mentioned by Luckydug on the 13th which because of its makeup, has risen many concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remnants of Standards Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 From memory the big march planned on the 13th Sept before the vote (which could tip right-thinking people horrified by these relics to 'Yes') ends up at Abbeyhill.

Thomaso Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 And the purpose of this march is ?? They will say to counter Irish Republican marches that are allowed to take place in Edinburgh. We need to ban them ALL - however our liberal principals even let the Islamic State supporters march through London, so what chance have we got!!

One of the streets near us is like the Shankhill Road with all the loyalist stuff on display. Orange walk passes right outside my front door .
