davemclaren Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Shame you can't do both. Parade probably edges it - did the stadium in 98 and the parade in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Parade, nothing beats seeing the open top bus with the glistening cup up front turning onto Gorgie Road from Dalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhjambo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Did Tynie in 98 and 06. Was only 3/4 full in 06 at most, as you have to choose one or the other. Can't wait to see the open top bus for the first time today! For those who have been before, is it any place for an 11 month old and a two year old. Desperate to take the kids but don't want to if it will be too cramped/ noisy for them. Any thoughts from the JKB parents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalcoverup Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Parade in 1998 and Tynecastle in 2006. Parade wins hands down. At Tynecastle there was a lot of sitting about with not much happening. Much better atmosphere outside in the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Will begin getting ready shortly to head round to Merchiston Hearts SC to take things in. Was out for something to eat about 10 minutes ago and bumped into someone who said they have apparently changed the arrangements today if going into Tynecastle, and you now have to purchase a ticket from the club shop. Anyone planning on going may wish to double check with the club, as I got the impression from speaking to people last night that they thought it was pay at the gate. There are a fair few people on Gorgie Road already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Bacon Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Tynecastle with no fags and booze v parade with fags and booze? No brainer IMO Cheers I'm not sure that the law covers this activity as a sporting occassion, so drinks may not be banned inside the ground, I recall my lad had a can of juice in 2006 going into the ground and I was looking for a bucket to put it in, when a steward said its ok to take it in. Smoking will still be banned, as it is at every game unless you sit at the back of section G which appears to be exempt for the usual regulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolkeith Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Been in the stadium the last two times and gonna do the parade this year. Is if possible to follow the bus from city chambers or does it go too fast? Think I'll head down to haymarket if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby2Gibson Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just back from the parade - City Chambers standing near the Heart of Midlothian. Great atmosphere, don't know who was taking more pictures, the crowds or the players. Paulo cool as standing at the back of the bus. Got some great pictures.

:shitwine: Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Great times at the stadium. Decent kickabout with the U17/19s, and We were treated to a few songs by that Saskia girl. A lot of the players were incredibly shy. McGowan did his trademark skipping celebration, Jordan Morton sounded pissed and there was another rendition of 'The Beattie'. Saskia ended up stealing the show - not just does she have a tremendous voice for a 10 year old, she can twist a song into a Jambo anthem very well.

Arthur Morgan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Was in the stadium in 06 and stupidly decided to do the same today Although tbf, I had my Nephew and Nieces with me so it was less hectic for them. As other posters have said, just too much waiting around before the players arrived and the atmosphere wasn't the greatest. Definitely the Parade the next time for me (when we win it again ) as I have seen the youtube videos of it today and it looked and sounded great.
