neilnunb Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) 21 minutes ago, It should’ve been 12! said: Was thinking about making the trip to methil on Tuesday (v East Fife). Long shot but does anyone know if there’s any supporters club buses running from Edinburgh. I was also looking at getting the x61 through but think the last bus back to Edinburgh is before full time and don’t think there’s a train either. Any advice would be most welcomed? Excluding don’t bother 😂👍🇱🇻⚽️ Yeah the last direct bus from Leven is 9:30pm You can jump on a number 7 from Leven bus station at 10:05pm and get off at Kirkcaldy bus station (though maybe best getting off at Adam Smith Theatre as it is closer to the train station). Should get in about 10:45pm. Then there is a train back to Edinburgh at 11pm, which will take about 45mins as it'll stop everywhere! If the trains run, obviously. * I meant to add...don't bother 😁 Edited June 28, 2022 by neilnunb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect the first team squad to split in two for the East Fife and Spartans games on successive nights with the B team/U18s fulfilling the VoL fixture. The first team did a similar split at the start of last season when Hearts played Civil Service Strollers and Spartans on the same night.
