Date Change

[I Ate JamTarts]

Its definate the fixture is changed to sunday, its now going to cost me another £50 to fly my ne home as his flight was booked for sunday morning.

[Northern Ireland Hibby]

From the official site....

"Heart of Midlothian v Hibernian fixture - important date change...

The Edinburgh Derby that was scheduled to take place at Tynecastle on Saturday 23rd October has now been moved back to Sunday 24th October. This is due to Hearts UEFA Cup commitments.

Any queries or to purchase the few remaining tickets please contact the Hibernian Ticket Office on 0131-661-1875."

What a pain in the @rse.

Are you all going to be there on the Saturday night?

I have some family business to attend to on the Sunday (!) so I was going to treat Saturday as the night out with you lads (as originally planned) instead.

How about Saturday night in the Hibs Club and then the casino???

Not sure, but hopefully on the same coach as me, saturday morning 7am.
By the way as my ne is with me i just can't dump him when i arrive, so what about staring of in a few pubs around the holy ground including sunnyside as 14 year old kids should be ok until about 5:30/6:00pm. After that the nights ours.

Sounds good mate.

I told She Who Must Be Obeyed and her sister that I would eat lunch with then first (so I'll test the water to see if I can wriggle out of that one).

Otherwise, will be with you as early into the afternoon as I can. I need to go and see a man at a car importers at the foot of Leith Walk but that can wait until Monday.

I'll bring the waistcoats and hats as well.

By the way by the way, the Hibs Club might be a good drinking venue for the Saturday night but we can play it by ear. I think it goes without saying that I wouldn't mind a nip into the casino (open to 4am!) if we're still sober enough.

Sounds like a good alround weekend,

hoping to stay monday as well might go to mussleburgh if there is racing, or take in a bit of scenery.

Was kind of thinking of making the journey on the friday tbh, I thought youse lot were, but I suppose that would have changed with the match being moved an whatever. I'll have to get down to the bus station and get it booked whenever I get paid on Friday.

Spent a fúckin fortune at that match at the weekend, 300 quid odds easy - and I was stung 160 two weeks back to pay for the travel over there. So this trips gonna have ta be another cheapie.

[Northern Ireland Hibby]

Not to worry Fizzy. I'm going to have to do the derby trip on the cheap as well (flights were booked with Air Miles!) but we'll not see you stuck for a jar.

Sure there's nae pockets in a casket.

Aye I agree

Just confirm this for us Garry - you're getting the Saturday morning 7am trip over, and the mid-afternoon one on Monday back home? Have to take a trip tommorrow to book this stuff just

[I Ate JamTarts]

I have not as yet booked this but that is what i will be booking next wednesday when i get paid.

Also booked a Guest house in newington about a mile from morningside.

[Northern Ireland Hibby]

You can also get to Newington by walking straight up bridges on the Leith side of Princes Street - only about five minutes in a taxi though.

(Just in case you though that you had to go through Morningside through the other side of town).

[I Ate JamTarts]

Checked it out on multimap, as you say a straight walk around the large park will bring you on to the bottom of easter road, i think. is this right

I've never went to Leith from Newington direction - I would always have gone into town (along South Clerk Street, past the wonderfully named St. Patrick's Place and along bridges to the Leith end of Princes Street).

I have only gone into Leith from the top of Leith Walk (which sort of almost meets Princes Street).

I'm sure there's a direct way from Newington - probably best just to get a Joe Baxi.

Joe baxi when i'm Pi??ed, but there is a no 14 bus goes from dalkeith rd were the b&B is to leith walk every 15 mins.

[Northern Ireland Hibby]

My hotel is close to the Leith end of Princes Street so if we are in town (most places in town anyway) we'll be heading back in the same direction.

While I remember, you'll have to bring some photo ID out with you if there's a chance we'll call into the casino.

Went down today and booked it. The 7am on the morning over is sold out, so I'm getting the one at around 10/11am-ish - and the 2/3pm-ish one home on the Monday. Give me plenty of time to recover on the Monday

I will book that myself, gets into edinburgh 6:30pm on sat.

[Northern Ireland Hibby]

If you can get into Edinburgh any earlier IAte I'm up for starting off early in Leith on Saturday afternoon.

[I Ate JamTarts]

Looking at trains and all that, i want to get in earlier, 6.30pm is a bit of a rush.

[I Ate JamTarts]

Checked out availabiltity online, at the moment there are seats available for the early travel getting into edinburgh 1.30pm saturday, dont get paid until wed, lets hope they hold.

[Northern Ireland Hibby]

Would be good if you could get in on Saturday afternoon as there'll be drinking to be done, not to mention a visit to the club shop.

BTW, just to confirm that the waistcoats are here, so are the wee cards advertising NI Hibs (I'll give some to everyone) for putting in pubs etc. I've also had the old NI Hibs banner remade with fresh, blank material and will give it to Fizzure. (You want me to bring it or give it to you when we get home? - it rolls up really wee).

The fancy dress hard hats haven't arrived yet but I called the company and told them to extract the finger so they should be sent today.

It's going to be a good one lads!
