Craigieboy Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 One of the highlights of HH for me was the chap in the Queens face mask then the whole place singing the queen is a jambo. Brilliant! Got a good photo of that. Will try to put some up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Stinkfinger Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Was not my plan Iain, trust me. Totally regret it now after looking at what happened at Hamilton Hall and the match. I could not keep my eyes open from about 3.30pm. I do not sleep on bus journeys, so the trip down was like an overnighter for me. Perked up when I arrived in London, however walked fecking miles in the morning seeing some of the touristy bits. I only had a few pints in the morning / afternoon (counted about 7 in total) and just could not stay awake. I will never, ever travel on a bus to England ever again. It was sheer toture for someone at 6ft 6. Am I allowed to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sheer toture for someone at 6ft 6. Should you ever have to do the megabus again (although it sounds like you won't) take a half day from work on the day you are travelling, sleep for about 4 hours, then go to the pub (we met in Mathers, Broughton Street), get absolutely mangled, and it helps. On these sort of bus journeys it is all about catching the odd half hour's kip here and there. After we had eaten in London on the morning of the Millwall game all the energy came flooding back. You missed a superb day out by the way, an all nighter for some, given the last person in our group left the pub we were in at 08:45 am on Friday morning. Didn't go into Liverpool Street, but spent all day/night up in Finsbury Park, a get together with PHSC, Livingston Hearts SC, Willie Bauld Memorial SC, and anyone else that wandered into the boozers. Top notch, a bit like Braga without the sun and the fountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I know he is not on the thread but whats happened to CC He has not reported in. Missing in Action ???

You asked me to bring you a kebab to the room after you'd had 6 hours kip ya lazy fekker, no way was I venturing back streets of Kings Cross looking for a seedy kebab shop to feed you in that state, I'd have been raped and left for dead! Asking you to come down and meet me so we could find a kebab shop, and then getting no further than a pub that was open until 3am was a mistake though, I was dying yesterday!

portobellojambo1 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hi porto,must have seen you in finsbury park(twelve pins?)before the game,met up with the rest of the livi boys there,had been in liverpool st earlier on. That's where we were. We had been planning on going to The World's End, but Livingston Hearts arrived before us and had gone in. Said the pictures on the internet etc. gave the impression of a completely different pub (apparently a lot of the photos suggested what was being used for advertising was the World's End in Camden Town). They weren't overly impressed. So The Twelve Pins was our chosen venue pre match, and a wee boozer over the road, The Blackrock, was used post match. Both places were fine (Blackrock isn't the poshest place on the planet but it sold booze and was rocking at night) and both must have made a fortune that day.

joe.gausden Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 CC, if it's any consolation my mate fell asleep in Hamilton Hall, woke up after everybody had left for the game and had no idea where he was going. He spent the next 4 hours on tubes before getting back to the hotel with no idea what the score was He then proceeded to miss our train home from Euston yesterday afternoon and ended up on the Glasgow train himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca2 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I think Hamilton hall is probably the best pre match gathering I have ever attended in my 42 years. Well done to all.

JennyJambo Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Tesco did a roaring trade...drunk dry by 6ish!

It's great we can leave such an impression on people from the places we visit. Was talking to a few spurs boys at the bar and they said the place was usually full of spurs but people they knew walked in saw us and walked straight back out. They said they thought it was amazing though and loved being a part of it.

stirlingshirejambo Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 wasn't on the infamous mega bus but took a supporters bus instead. Only option for me had to be down and back same day. Got back 7.45 laddie at school for 8.30. Dropped off at hamilton halls picked up outside of ground. Bus maybe not as comfy as train or plane but practical and cheap. Did the job and if circumstances same next time i'd do the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
