wideboyal Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Myself, wee bro and Dad all heading to the final. My first thought was to meet them at Rutherglen Station, then a wee march / mini pub crawl up to ampden, but that might just take us to the wrong end of the ground. What would be a safer/better option for us, or are there any well friendly pubs either in the city centre or otherwise?? Think i may go to Lanark first and meet them and get the train from there, may be a safer bet with a few more well fans! Any advice much appreciated!

Special aka Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Not much up the Mount Florida end. Used to head to pubs in Victoria Road before Scotland games. Was in the Outhouse in '91, put gave up trying to get a pint and went into Hampden at ten past 2 ...... and it was packed. I'll be in the Philarmonic in Cardiff, surrounded by hordes of Leinster/Northampton fans but that won't put me off. Mon the Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideboyal Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I thought so. May end up heading to city centre and take it from there. The last final, we ended up going to the Clockwork, but it was hoaching with h**s, so not to sure really Wing it may be the order of the day!!!

carlukemurray Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'd recommend The Church on the Hill. It will be rammed but ideal for a beer in the sunshine. http://www.qype.co.uk/place/180454-church-on-the-hill-Glasgow The aforementioned Clockwork is also very handy and has a beer garden if it is sunny. Otherwise just get into the city centre early doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishaestevie Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I go to Hampden for Scotland games and quite often start and end in Shawlands, there are a few decent pubs like the Granary who cater for football crowds. Its just that this time , it may be full of Celtic fans. My plan for the final is to stick to the city centre , somewhere mildly expensive for some booze and grub that will keep the grey and green riff raff out and avoiding pubs with O' in the title. Then taxi out to Hampden as that will be 'our' end nearest town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer garden, kids allowed and BBQ food to be had. We will be travelling from Holytown (73 seat double decker) and hope to be there for about half past one, quarter to two. 5 minute walk to Hampden after a few pints . :drinks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan87 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The trains won't be forced to be dry will they? Could have a tinny en route if that's not the case. Ewan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Officially I'd doubt you'll be able to have a beer from Central to Hampden. They usually have signs up a day or two before big games or events at Hampden saying trains from Central to the stadium will be alcohol free.

Ewan87 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 are they putting on footie specials from motherwell ? Not as far as I'm aware. We're just headed in to Central and out again. Isn't it a different line so a direct train couldn't actually run? Ewan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeToonWellFan Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Think me and the future father in law will be heading to one of the 'Spoons in the City Centre early. Think it was the Crystal Palace we were in for the CIS Semi and they were fine with Footie Colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember going on them. I stand corrected. I assumed that the lower-level/upper-level tracks didn't join. Plenty of standard train options though.
