Locky Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I know it's a bit early but I like planning a journey in advance. Not in with a supporters club as I don't get to as many away games as I'd like to, but I mostly go with the official Hearts bus if I decide not to rely on public transport. This game though being a 7.45 and during the festive period I don't fancy getting the Hearts bus as I'm heading through to the Niddrie area and not getting back to Edinburgh til about the back of 1 in the morning will prove a bit of a task. So basically I'm wondering if there's any supporters buses that would do a pick up or drop off considerably closer to the Niddrie/Portobello area. Doesn't have to be dead close, just a decent bit closer than Gorgie. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Stay at home. Would probably be the less stressful option, but i've never been to Aiberdeen and fancy going before they move from Pittodrie even though it's still a few years til they go and I don't think i'm missing much.

Not sure if we have any free seats for this one mind you, but if we do and there is no one actually getting on in Portobello you could get dropped off somewhere along Milton Road East if the bus takes that route back towards Musselburgh/Prestonpans. At the very least it would get you back into Portobello/Joppa, and it is a short walk from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem Officer? Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm well up for this one. ?20+ for a ticket to see the world-class football on display between these two giants of the modern game. That's after spending at least ?20 on scran and travel, especially with Xmas coming up. You can add to this the frigid arctic conditions of Sheepland and all in all you have a marvellous Saturday out. On second thought, I'd rather poke at my eyes with dirty needles than trek up there. Travelling to Tynie every second week is enough of an effort for me at the moment. Kudos to you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to ask but where did you hear Portobello Hearts supporters bus was for members only. Subject to seat availability Portobello Hearts bus is open to all Hearts supporters wishing to travel to away matches. Membership does bring its advantages of course with reduced bus fares, a guaranteed seat on the bus etc. For more details please visit our website. http://portobellohearts.tripod.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh ah grantona Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm well up for this one. ?20+ for a ticket to see the world-class football on display between these two giants of the modern game.

In all fairness it would be a very crap Saturday nite/day out as the game is on a Wednesday night so you would have spent your ?20+ on a diddly game ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
