Heartsofgold Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Go into the shop/ticket office and ask. There's no open access but someone from the club may take you in to show the kids. Don't ask, don't get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sometimes do that if you are buying season tickets, to help you choose part of the ground. The stadium tour, of course, will allow it, and perhaps the memorial garden, too.

The stadium tour, of course, will allow it, and perhaps the memorial garden, too. About 20 years ago I was buying season tickets for my son and myself and was interested in seats in the old main stand. I wasn't sure about the seat positions as I knew you could end up with a pillar between the seat and the goal so I asked if we could go to the seats to check. A very nice young lady took us up to the stand so that we could choose seats, then left, telling us how we could get back to the main office entrance by going down to the track and walking pitch-side to a gate at the Gorgie road end. Thomas Flogel was doing laps as we walked along and there were 'keep off the grass' signs on the pitch. However this being too good a chance to miss we ran on to the pitch towards the Gorgie Goal and both blasted imaginary balls past an imaginary Hib5 goalie before going to buy our tickets. I often wonder what Tam Flogel was thinking when he saw us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must've been 15+ years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my one eternal regret at living so far away that my kids didn't get to spend a lot of time near the hallowed turf as they grew up.

Recall doing similar with my Dad when he used to take me up to the club shop every October to buy me the top for my birthday. Simpler times.

Cut The Crap Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Summer of 95 you could wander into the Gorgie End, sit on one of the benches, and watch them building the School End Stand at the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
