jambovambo Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 And no, I'm not going to both, but on the back of the pulled "are you a posh jambo?" thread ... tomorrow is the first instance for a while of a localised clash of sporting cultures ... Any thoughts on e.g. the Diggers tomorrow ? Busy, one way or another. I remember in the 70s going to a Hearts v Sheep game at Tynie, and some Taffies stumbled in, apparently so peshed they didn't realise it wasn't Murrayfield ... same colour of scarves, easy mistake to make etc ... As I remember, we lost 1-4, with Ernie W getting ours. I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Scotland game on the same day as a Hearts game a couple of years ago too, as Diggers was about 25% rugby fans that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambovambo Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I the days when 3:00 p.m. kick-offs were immutable, the rugby internationals would k.o. at 2:30, I think, meaning there was a lot of cultural crossing in the pubs. I know - hard to believe it was always 3:00 p.m. k.o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'M IBRAHIM TALL Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have expressed my utter contempt for rugby in here a few times and been accused of being a witless prole so I shall refrain today. Whilst its fairly obvious that not all the people who go to watch rugby are chinless wonders, it is fair to say Edinburgh is festooned with people who come into the centre of town approx. 5 teams a year yet still believe they run the place. You would think people who's education cost 35k per term would at least be able to get their head round the queue and round sytems in the pub. I appreciate our established routine of playing at Tynecastle every second week cant be taken into account when the SRU organise their latest shoeing. They obviously have to invite teams over here long before the SPL fixtures are announced. Apparently the SRU organise up to 3 years in advance to invite teams over to give the FP's a good dicking. My mind goes back to Stephane Adam's hat trick against Killie in the cup winning season when our game was shifted to the Sunday to accomodate the grouse beaters. Another result like that would be fantastic (or should I say a MIRACLE). I just wouldnt fancy being one of the guys from Manchester or London Hearts having to leave at the break of dawn to see it. I would like to think some kind of rota system could be introduced whereabout the SRU are asked to change their kick off next time to fit into OUR schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devorgilla Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Surprised that in all the refinements of the league fixtures before the start of the season that L&Bs finest don't request that HMFC home fixtures avoid such a clash with the rugby internationals. Particularly given such absurdities as being at home once in all of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 A 3.30 or even 3.15 KO would have ensured the rugger chaps were almost all safely wrapped in their tartan blankets inside Murrayfield before the Tynecastle game ended. As posted on another thread I remember 36,000 at Tynecastle for a Rangers game with a 3pm kick off while 80,000 were in Murrayfield for an England game, with the rugby kicking off at 2.30 or thereabouts (because of lack of floodlights at Murrayfield). The aggregate crowd tomorrow won't much exceeed the Tynecastle crowd that day, so why we need a nearly 5 hour gap between KOs tomorrow defeats me.

I see no reason why when gates are well down on what you or I have experienced. Is it lack of resources? or do they prefer to just stand around doing feck all most of the time? 2 games within an hour? christ that sounds like hard work when there's very little trouble with hearts or scotland rugby fans against the sides playing tomorrow.

Eckauskas Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Rugby can **** RIGHT off. I was originally doing a shift at 4pm tomorrow, but changed it so I'd finish at 2, giving me an hour to get to Tynecastle. No bother. Only to find out that these homosexual toffs are playing a meaningless bounce game in a sport that nobody really cares deeply about and our vital game's been moved back to half 12, meaning I'm going to be missing my first home game in nearly 2 and a half years. I'd say I hope Scotland get humped, but that much is a given anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 What use to puzzle me years ago was some fans missing a Hearts game to go and watch the rugby?? You get many that like both sports but can`t understand football favouring fans opting for a rugger game first. And vice versa.

Locky Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 TBH I'm not amused we all have to go to a 12.30 kick off that isn't even on TV, just for the rugby. If The Hearts game started at 3 PM by the time the supporters got near Murrayfield it would be about 5.05 which is 10 mins before kick off, in the rugby. By that time most of the supporters would be in the ground as the players come out quite early in the rugby for national anthems etc. What is wrong with 3.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samster Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 In the current era it's just logistically easier to move the Hearts game (att circa 12-13K) than than the rugby (circa 50K). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJay Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Way back when God was a lad, Scotland played the Barbarians think it was a world cup warm up match or something with a 1:30 start. We played Falkirk I think, usual 3 pm KO. Went to Murrayfield, left just before the end of the game. Hammered down Roseburn St, hard right on to Russell Rd, right again into McLeod St. right again into the turnstiles at the school end, missed the 1st minute or two. Think we won, was a bit fitter in those days. For today I had to take a half shift off, holiday wise, no way I could finish my nightshift at 07:00 then get to the game for 12:30.
