No Idle Talk Grant Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just a quick posting to see if there is any interest in Jambos from the Falkirk and Linlithgow areas in running a bus to London for the Spurs game. Nothing definite as yet, just trying to gauge numbers. If it goes ahead bus is likely to leave late Wednesday night, 11pmish travelling overnight arriving in London Thursday morning. Stay in London Thursday night and starting return journey mid-day on Friday to arrive home Friday evening. Please post a reply if you are interested in travelling.

I will be going on the Dunfermline bus if they're running one, but if not, I'd definitely be interested mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Grant Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Tough call this as people can't say for definite without knowing if their getting a ticket. Appreciate this is an issue but it would be impossible to organise a bus if people waited until they knew if they had a ticket. Realise its a gamble but its the only way that we can work out if a bus is a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairdin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Are you definitely set on staying over on the Thursday night Grant? I would be interested if the bus was returning shortly after the game, but as I'm expected bac in work by lunchtime on Friday I couldn't come onthe itenary you've suggested. I'll keep an eye on this thread though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIEIO Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 No firm details on the price however we are getting quotes for Bus hire today hopefully, hotel would be a ballpark figure of ?30-35 per skull based on 2 people sharing a twin-room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIEIO Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It's looking like most people are going by train. There's a fair number keen to bus it but they are way down the pecking order for tickets based on HMFC Loyalty points system. Once the away allocation is known later this week - supporters clubs applications need to be in by close of play tomorrow - the picture will be clearer. We may end up going by train but its worth exploring the bus option first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Best of luck with this. Unless you get an early check in I'd think twice about it. Prestonpans Hearts went overnight to Derby in 1995, got early check in, a couple of hours kip and trip was excellent. We then did the same to Charlton in 1998, didn't get early check in and folk were falling asleep at the game or in pubs shortly afterwards (got some cracking pics from that trip!!!) We're going down at either 5am or 6am in the morning on day of game, staying at County Hotel Woodford on Thursday and leaving London at lunchtime Friday. Booked through lateroom.com for much discount (?56 per twin room) if any Jambo is looking into accommodation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Grant Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Unfortunately we are not going to be able to run a bus to this game after all. Understandably there are many people not willing to commit until they get a ticket. It would take to much to organise after people confirmed tickets, as such regrettably we are going to pull the plug on this. Thanks to those that expressed an interest and hope everyone that wants to go manages to get some travel arrangements sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline bus not a goer for same reasons. People not willing to commit & most of our members are travelling by other means. Would need money up front in case people pull out & frankly there are too many ifs and buts. Eddie & myself - if we get tkts - are planning a cheeky wee 17 seater made up of tried & trusted Jambos.

Now I have it confirmed that we've got enough loyalty points I'm looking to book transport The only problem I have is we have to be back in Edinburgh Friday morning If anone knows a supporters bus leaving after the game with space for 2 adults and a child it would be much appreciated. Failing that we will need to travel from Edinburgh to Glasgow to get their megabus at 4 Thursday morning returning to Glasgow 7.30 Friday morning as Edinburgh one sold out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossmaroon Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Glasgow bus has about 39 confirmed so still a few seats available. For those worried about tickets I am pretty certain that will not be a problem because Spurs rarely fill WHL for non EPL games. Either Hearts will be given a big enough allocation or ther will be tickets available on the day from Spurs. Phone Ian Russell on 07754754250 or text me (Ross Meikle) with your details on 07759263862 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossmaroon Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Have checked over the last 5 seasons and while crowds for all home games are healthy, only EPL games are sold out so there should be tickest available on the day from the stadium.
