There and back same day. 7.05 from Edinburgh to Belfast then some sightseeing and culture vulturing with the Mrs then on to lurgan for the game . Return at 8.25 pm so a nice day out and the bonus of football all in one day and quick flights . Never been to Lurgan but my cousin lives in Banbridge and surely it's better then Banbridge? Anyone recommend any pubs if they know the area? I reckon we'll have at least a couple of hundred over there maybe many more. Hopefully we can just pay at the gate. Never been to a ground in Northern Ireland/Ireland (whatever your preference) so looking forward to this one and hopefully seeing some new signings(if we get them) get a run out. Banbridge is a lot nicer than lurgan, esp to go out in some good bars and only 10 mins from lurgan , your best bet for a drink is head to the Glenavon social club, or stay in belfast and train it out, taxi it from station to ground....

Cyber Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Anyone travelling out from Belfast on train for this match go for the express that misses out all the stops before lisburn. Great Victoria street-lisburn-Moira-lurgan-portadown.... That's the one to go for others stop at all the small station's on way out from Belfast and would add 20+ mins to journey to lurgan Edited May 31, 2019 by Cyber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never been to Belfast before & you have the time, I'd recommend the sightseeing bus. Takes you round all of the main sites (including Falls / Shankhill etc) and the commentary is usually a good laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW1 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It's only allowing me one ticket on my account. Won't let me buy two , other fans have had this same problem. Glenavon got in contact with me and the Director who I must say is a credit to their club has said we can ring Glenavon direct and tickets will get posted to us etc. All tickets for the ground are the same and away fans more than welcome in the bars I was told. They seem a very helpful and friendly club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart G Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 For those going by train from Belfast on Saturday, I was sent this message from one of committee of the clubs at the ground, if anyone wants a taxi from station to the ground Check cabs 02838324000 The stop before lurgan is moria when you see the sign for it ring the taxi then so you arent waiting to for it to arrive when you get off train..

Cyber Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Good advice above If anyone going to lurgan direct from early Saturday morning flights I think the mechanic institute club on corner of union street is opening early half way between train station and ground, spoke to them will be made more than welcome, British legion is also on that street, I'll post best route if walking to ground, bars at stadium are all behind main stand and will be open to Hearts fans.... I've marked a wee line where the institute bar is.. Stick to the blue dotted route if walking to ground left at train station up past the police station & church down Union street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hibsarepants Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 There are several very good bars in Belfast - head for the newish Cathedral quarter - like the Grassmarket or go to the more traditional Crown Bar and spend 5 minutes gawping at the interior fitments. If you have time visit the Titanic exhibition - very humbling - 2 years to build and 3 hours to sink and because it was a maiden voyage many of the senior tradesman / foreman were on board to check its performance.
