Where can we get a beer close to the ground We just went to Grassmarket before our game last season, then got a taxi to the ground which was £6 between 4 of us. Not much near the ground pub wise so it’s a good option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the spiers bar on ferry road which is a good boozer and that's a few minutes away on the bus. A 113 bus from the west end will drop you close to ainslie Park so that's the best if you want a drink in town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stumbled into the village hotel on our last visit, was full of rugby fans and was a rip off. We swiftly turned back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Jake says the Village Hotel is meant to be pricey (maybe to keep the locals away) although i've never been in it. If your brave I suppose you can have a wonder down Pilton although I think I would stick to the city centre. I you feel like walking its about 30 minutes or so cutting through Stockbrige where there's a few decent pubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmbraJam Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Personally, I go to the Raeburn bar in Stockbridge or the Stockbridge Tap (Real Ales) then trundle across the park towards AP; it’s a leisurely 20 minute walk. The Village bar is like drinking in a Travelodge and some of the other local bars are, ahem, best avoided IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of us were thinking of suggesting a pub we all meet up for next season then sharing taxis over to Ainslie Park. I'll throw the Stockbridge Tap into the 1st Supporters club pub debate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would use it but we were made to feel very unwelcome in there one afternoon. They need to do a deal with season ticket holders where they get membership. This would encourage us more to go in there. A season ticket then about 30 quid a year to join the social club is a bit much. Also one of the staff in there told me to stop asking her questions about ECFC as the social club "aren't anything to do with the football club at all". Followed up by "our members have to pay to watch the football club so the fans of the football club have gotta to pay a membership to come here" attitude. And was quite rude about it as well. We'd love to start using the social club more regularly, they just need to realise its not the Loch Inn anymore or a Hibs club themselves. As soon as they found out we had a new supporters club and are holding the 1st fundraiser at another venue they were quick to come online and moan about it............ Why weren't they arsed about any of us coming in or not before that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrooge1928 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 There was a misunderstanding that day LS - there have been a few of us talking with the Social Club committee and we want to ensure that there is no further breakdown in communication. Supporters are always welcome at the Social Club. I'll get back to you privately and give you further details of the discussions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stockbridge Tap is my local and it is most excellent, although if you're a Tennents drinker you will be disappointed. You'd have to walk bloody briskly to reach Ainslie Park in 20 minutes - nearer half an hour, especially if you are my age and/or have a bellyful of ale. Luckily buses 24 and 29, from the other side of the road, take about ten minutes to get to the Crewe Toll roundabout, and the ground is not far from there. Clark's Bar in Dundas Street is also worth a visit. The 27 bus can be boarded just outside and stops close to the ground, as mentioned above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want a good relationship with the Social Club always have done. We just never felt welcome that day and never went back. I'd use the social club personally on a match day as its on the 21 bus route to ainslie Park. I'm glad the social club committee have discussed this that's a big step forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Am I right in saying that City have a social club in Lochend? Surely no one goes there per/post match? Seems mental to continue the link when you don’t really play anywhere near there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the players City are bringing in, it seems we're having a real go next season, for at least the play-offs. All looks much better than the last two seasons.

Diamond Oracle Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 What a signing that is. Balatoni would be an excellent signing for anyone in League 1 and a few Championship teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 At this rate ECFC shouldn't have 'just' making the play-offs as goal, been doing the best business in the league so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a long way away from Peterhead’s team on paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
