We used to go shopping at the Plaza in East Kilbride a fair bit growing up though I read that’s in a bad way these days. It was thriving when I was growing up.

JH-HMFC Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Recently moved to Linlithgow and as far as I'm aware there's a healthy contingent of Hearts here, Linlithgow supporters club too if I'm right? Qu for any locals - which pub would you normally watch hearts games if on the telly? Platform? Post office pub?

Was a fair few Jambos in EK back when I was first going to games in the 90s. Not so sure now.

Would often get asked what team do you really support when at School by people who supported a certain 2 teams who shall remain nameless 😉 I can work out which 2 I think 😉 I believe Glasgow Hearts used to pick up there. A real shame EK’s gone downhill as I always thought it was an upbeat sort of a place. The biggest of Scotland’s 5 new towns. I went to the Dolan baths a lot too, famously 50 yards and not 50 metres otherwise it could have held international competitions. I get the same here too - expected to support one or the other of the cheeks, especially with a Western Accent. Or at least have a preference of one over the other. If I had my way I’d shut them both down tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see Clyde a good few times back in the day so enjoyed the Partick rivalry - especially as one of my best mates loves Thistle. So Craig's parental family stay very near me and I see him in his car quite a bit and a couple of times walking his dog too. Could really do with him being back to full fitness.

Unable to attend tomorrow due to a family thing but hoping to get some of it and keen to see if there are any pubs popular with our lot on match days I'm originally from Linlithgow but moved to Dunfermline years ago. The Unicorn pub was where the Hearts bus left from but its been shut for decades now. Likewise, the Swan Tavern was owned by a good Hearts fan but he retired a few years ago. Probably the best place to watch the football now is the post office. You should get yourself along to some of the Linlithgow Rose home games if Hearts are away. They have a cracking social club so you can have a pint before and after the game. Think it has Sky Sports. I know that a few Hearts follow the Rose.
