Heartsofgold Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 So....gave up trying to find 5 spaces on a bus going through so opted to buy train tickets. Not gonna lie, I'm a wee bit concerned as I'll have my 9 & 11 year old daughters with me and there will be some glory hunters of the hooped persuasion travelling that way as well. Anyone alos travelling this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone alos travelling this way? There will be no bother on the trains. Have travelled half a dozen times by train with my 10 yr old laddie to games in the west and have never had any bother. I'm going by train on Saturday after work. Around 1pm from Waverley for me a mate and 3 kids. 2 aged 10 and 1 aged 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Kings Park is at the Celtic end so may find not so many use Mount Florida. But it is a home game for them. And some will be travelling from Edinburgh etc. I expect it will be okay and certainly more than enough Jambos going by train to make it safe.

Herbert. Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I was on a rammed train with a mix of Celtic and hearts fans for the bet fred semi and tbh the Celtic fans were awright, it was some of our fake stone island/Burberry wearing lot that were being fannys. Most of them will be awright just dont end up on their side. I would say if you do see any trouble it will some of our idiots fighting each other. You'll be fine just enjoy the day?

tian447 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 For the 2012 final, I took the train through from Dundee, and there was a small number of Hearts fans on it. Got to Stirling and a huge number of Hibs fans got on, 3 of them sitting at my table. There was absolutely no problem between anyone, and the lads at the table were actually good chat. Didn't see them on the train back though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdav Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Have a watch of an episode of Inside Central Station then change your plans sharpish.

luckydug Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Not so bothered about the journey through but someone posted a link to plans for a Celtic victory parade after the game. The route apparently goes from Hampden into the city centre. I'm a bit worried that some of them could be arriving early to get a vantage point and be hanging around before Hearts fans have departed the area. Even if Celtic lose I expect this event will still go ahead as they already have a double to celebrate. If the queue for the trains and buses is a long wait people may decide to walk back into town .

Kiwidoug Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm from the era when there were Hearts special trains. Not sure why that's stopped although I think there were Hearts and Hibs special trains in 2006 leaving from different stations. If specials were still in vogue I would be genuinely disgusted if any were allocated to Celtic from Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
