Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Pre season friendlies are for the benefit of the team, not for jollies. Pretty sure there will be another match planned for the Saturday if you hold your horses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so. I'll wait for the announcement of a game against the Blades or Owls. Or Rotherham again. Even Chesterfield would do.

There was a wee mob of Preston hoolies telling anyone daft enough to listen that they were ready to get stuck in. Moments later the Hearts fans started scrapping with the police and the Preston boys hoored off in the opposite direction. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fun trip for some. Not so much fun for those who can have a beer without wanting a pagger to go with it and just want to watch our team. On the way home we passed on the Edinburgh train which was going to be carnage and went to Glasgow instead.

We spoke nicely to the Preston police and were allowed to do our own thing and avoid the designated pubs and laid on transport. We had a fine day until after the game. Nice trip down. Taxi to Pub near the ground for lunch. Shite game right enough. It was only really when we got back near the station it was obvious something had changed and the police were pissed off. Then the jostling and pavement dancing and can and bottle throwing by utter melts on 3 cans of cider moved from outside on to the Edinburgh bound platform so we walked over and switched to the Glasgow train. It’s fairly commonplace at away games by public transport. The same faces every time but this was the worst I’d seen. just complete disrespect from moronic cretins in a ‘safe’ mob.

dannymack Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Sniggering at the typical pompous digs at the Hearts support from some on here. Selective memories from the moral high ground but I shall refrain from whataboutery. To still keep on the topic of Preston last time around I'm sure the Police Officers would love to have the Hearts support visit their Town again, give them something to do.
