Rods Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have not been to an away game at Motherwell for ages and the last time was a midweek dismal Scottish Cup replay. Which boozers do Hearts fans normally go to for a few pre match drinks? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Think there's a bowling club near Fir Park which is a regular watering hole for Hearts fans. Only been to Fir Park once though and didn't hit the boozer so I'm probably no use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 JD's bar. Not sure if it has always been called that as I've not been to Fir Park since our relegation season. It's decent enough and always a few Hearts fans in there - not sure if its the main bar for away fans though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal Kingston Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 When I go I get the train and just stop at the Horseshoe which is next to the station. Good clientele in there. Taxi's are cheap as chips in Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Jack Daniels don't let in away fans well they didn't last game through there Mate of mine is a Well fan. He says Jack Daniels is the local for the 'ultras'. He said fans will be fine as long as they're well behaved. Apparently a few Aberdeen fans were in last season and one got a kick in for going about putting red ultra stickers about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in there pre match last season. The 2-2 game I think and there were no problems. A few young lads got chucked out but they looked about 16 so probably fair enough. As you say don't act like a dick and you'll be fine most places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussAsia Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Motherwell used to be one of my favourite away trips when I first started going to away games.. Jack Daniels for a few drinks and normally a chippie from up the street.. Could have only been about 16 at that time so it would have been back around '97... Still.. Happy memories..
