Was a lot of Jambo's in Gorebridge when I grew up, but a frustratingly large amount of current buns as well. Used to sicken me hearing their sectarian chants and royalist sheeat. Even when I was a kid I could tell these were knuckle-draggers of the highest order. Used to be a Hearts bus that left from Gorebridge back in the day. Good times! Maybe you should have opted for Hibs or celtic then given that it was only the 'current buns' that sickened you 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed Hearts since a young laddie but from age 16 onwards preferred to play football on a Saturday, rather than watch it. Managed to play well into my 40's so wasn't a regular at Tynie until later years. ST holder for a good few years now. Lots of Jambos in Oxgangs back in the day, best footie memory as a youngster would be Tynie under the lights against Locomotive Leipzig. Obviously the cup finals since then. Too much spare time now, spending it between talking shite on here, and the golf course. Love driving in for the game, taking a wee walk up and down Gorgie road a few times, before soaking up the atmosphere in the Wheatfield. Gorgie and Tynie just feel like home! Can't say I've seen much evidence of many Jambos in Forth where I live now.

Surrey Jambo Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Born and grew up in Bruntsfield/Marchmont, moved to North Wales in early teens, then came back home for college. One of the founder members of Willie Bauld branch of FHSC post late 1970's supporters boycott. Had the pleasure of following Hearts around all the wee clubs in the yo-yo years. After 10 years abroad, I have been in London area for last 23 years, used to travel up for home games. I was there on that bad day in 1973 and that great day in 2012. Soon to move full-time to Bulgaria. Grateful for Hearts TV International. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
