portobellojambo1 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Just a quick head up to all who are running and/or travelling on buses to Hampden on Saturday. There will be a very heavy police presence on the road through to Glasgow and a very, very high chance your bus will be stopped. Best to do the sensible things on Saturday which are either get on the bus and take no alcohol on with you or if you are unable to go for around 1 hour without alcohol intake anyway it might be better not to actually go to the game at all but make a medical appointment instead as it is a sign of a very serious health problem.

In reality the post was intended for the likes of Gambo and more recently Willie Wallace, who are running buses, and will be the ones along with the drivers and their businesses who will incur any fines if a bus is stopped and alcohol is found. And the fines are far from small. The bit at the end, regards being unable to go for around 1 hour without having any alcohol, you can take how you want. Drinking on a bus doesn't make you an alcoholic, being unable to go for around an hour without having any alcohol during that period does in itself, potentially suggest a problem. But bash on.

You have indicated that there will be an increased police presence on route to Glasgow, giving other bus conveyors who don't normally arrange travel a heads up on potentially being stopped and searched for alcohol. I would expect a thank you, but others appear to want to make a thing about drinking on supporters buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a huge part of you thinks 'no danger can they move the time of the cup final... but then you realise who we're dealing with here... for what little its probably worth its listed on the SFA website as 3pm... ...which I suppose could well turn out to be 6.55 on a Thursday evening in Dingwall right enough given its the SFA.

Gambo Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I still have a few seats available on direct bus. I MAY have additional seats available on the club option buses. I have secured extra space in the social club but I am just awaiting reply from coach company (That may not be until Monday morning). So if interested I can take names on a list for this bus, on the understanding that it is only provisional just now. Direct bus leaves Sighthill 12.30pm @ £13pp. Club bus leaves at 10am, club is 11am -1.30pm @ £14pp Pick up in Livingston also. Toilets on buses, but NO ALCOHOL ON BUSES.
