Feels like it.  My brother usually takes me but he can't make it regularly.

I should have added that either route is fairly lengthy, probably around an hour from Edinburgh to Falkirk or Grangemouth.

 

The 909 is comfier as it is Citylink. The 38 is quite rattly in my experience.

 

Hope you have a safe trip and a good outcome!

Thanks for that.  Last time I took a bus to Falkirk the bus station was still open.  

Was it on a charabanc by any chance?

Got my old folks bus pass recently and my first use will be trying to get to the game and back on Saturday from Edinburgh.  Looks like First Bus is my only option.  Is there anyone who has travelled by bus from Edinburgh to the stadium before who can give me advice.  I don't get out very often so I am a bit nervous.  Where is the best place to get off in Falkirk, etc.

thanks

 

There is the 909 from Princes Street every hour that you could get to Newlands Garage in Grangemouth then get a 3 or a 4 from there. The 3 and 4 are each every 30 minutes.

Alternatively there is the 38 or X38 from Edinburgh that is a frequent service. That would get you to Newmarket Street from where there are plenty options.

 

Hope this helps (and that the info is correct!)

I've seen a couple of victories, though not many. Michael Higdon scored when we beat them 1-0 at TFS in January 2009. 60s Bairn will probably be along shortly to supply an image of the winning goal. 

Then we won at Pittodrie a year later. This pic of mine shows Mark Kerr watching on as Colin Healy scores the winner. Undoubtedly the best result Eddie May's team got that season as we were relegated at the end of it.  I think it was the only time we'd won at Pittodrie in something like 50 years. 

Is it a coincidence that the ref in the picture is from the Falkirk area?
