Garlogie_Granite Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Designated driver on Saturday, want to park at Asda as is my usual, but passengers nae keen as it's the Hibs. There's a dearth of parking round about, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Fit's wrong wi' hibs like? Also, is that nae the end we're supposed to park at, or have I got it wrong? I haven't actually organised transport there yet. Was thinking of bussing it or taking the wife's car as mine een's brakes are fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlogie_Granite Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 We're mean to be other side as we've got the west side of the ground. Passengers are feart of the sheep burners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Fuck, just as well you mentioned. I'd have felt like a richt tit walking through the hibees with my full strip and shin guards. Think I'll go for the train then, Mount Florida it'll be. Fucking rip off trains these days like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 If you're parking at Hampden do yourself a favour and park as far away as you're able to walk because if you park close to Hampden it will take you fucking forever to get away. Especially if you park at or close to Asda. Got back to the car when I was there in summer of 2015 and literally didn't move for an hour. I vowed never to drive to Hampden again after that. Fucking shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtS Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I parked right next to the ground last time, choosing to ignore the 'no parking during hampden events' signs. £30 quid fine split 4 ways, bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100% Anti Kingsford Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 There are restrictions all around Hampden during events and hundreds of wardens dishing out tickets. Its best to pre-plan car parking spot before you go as there are restrictions. Hibs are expecting 19000 to travel so lots of demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 There are restrictions all around Hampden during events and hundreds of wardens dishing out tickets. The warden kindly showed me to a spot where they don't charge folk last time I was there, which was kind of her (and she wisnae lying). Very close to the grun, but the wrong end this time roon.

100% Anti Kingsford Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 There are some streets with no restrictions on one side and restriction on the other side of the street. It depends on traffic flow really. In addition, there are problems getting away especially from a 30k+ crowd. Plus many streets are not marked well where restrictions are. There are hundreds of spare places to park in South glasgow but you need to plan it before you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsdaft Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm nae gaun so I haven't paid any attention to the ticketing arrangements. It has however never crossed my mind that we wouldn't be put into the Protestant End. Why the fuck does nobody ever complain about stuff like that. The powers at be are allowed to carry blatant sectarianism into the day to day running of our game but I am not supposed to call Kenny McLean a poof when he chickens out of yet another challenge.

Aye, I never even thought. Do the Hibees actually have a specific side of the ground? I just assumed we'd be at the most logical side of the ground for transport for dons fans (before I picked up my tickets). Weird that the club didn't make a thing about it. Stupid kick off time, and further to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsdaft Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Aye, it's all chosen on the basis of traffic. That's why when we played Hearts in the Scottish cup final it was easier to travel from Edinburgh to the Protestant End and when we played Hibs earlier in the season in the League cup final it was easier to travel from Edinburgh to the Catholic End.

rocket_scientist Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 And the last time we played Hibs, Arild 2-1, they had the catholic end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsdaft Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've been to every cup final since I missed out in 1970 and a fair few semi finals. The only time I wasn't sold a ticket based on sectarian segregation was a semi final against Dundee United. Either they got it wrong, or more likely, used the occasion to try to prove sectarianism has nothing to do with it. As far as I am concerned it was the exception that proved the rule.

rocket_scientist Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ah! Nearly got me there with your use of the phrase "this century " Better luck next time. I had to think about it too. It started early, in 2000, *shudders* The one I remember vividly was the Pomagne bottles final about 1978. Why there were huns at the kafflick end, fuck knows.

But is it easier to get to the Tim end for Hibs or not (actual trafficwise)? That's what I wanted to know. If not, then that's a pretty big thing I'd have thought. Easier to police perhaps, in terms of getting folks away from the ground without overlapping/clashing? I'm just thinking of any good reason that they could possibly use to justify it.

Why there were huns at the kafflick end, fuck knows. I was there in 1978, don't remember the Pomagne bottles though. Probably the same reason the Tims were in half the Protestant End in 1976 That was when it was "fair" to only give the Dons fans about 20,000 tickets. They are still arguing their case to return to those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that one with my da and brother. It was maybe just after that. The whole final, it rained bottles to the right of the catholic end. Might have been a semi but it was a beautiful sunny day and I'm sure it was a 3 pm Saturday. Just googled it. Was the League Cup final 78-79.
