There's buses from Glasgow and East Kilbride, via Coatbridge and Motherwell that will drop you closer again. They also go through Airdrie if you can't manage either walk. There's quite a few local buses that will take you to pretty near the sports centre. Naw there isnae........ -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossilYM Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Love when folk tell me the in and outs of public transport when going to watch any type of football, non league or any other league. Let's look at your average supporter of any old Junior club. Age, certainly over 50, probably not in the rudiest of health. And we're going to Gartcairn by train. No mention of needing a medical before trying to walk it from Drumgelloch Station. No problem. Was it mentioned it's up hill most of the way. Airdrie Station, there's a taxi on the Main St, use it. But there's buses from Glasgow. Are they meaning the 902 to Edinburgh Airport that goes through Monklands once an hour. And oh, the last bus back to Glasgow midweek is 8.20pm. Or maybe the 201 bus to Peterburn to EK Dodgy. Pick the stop before or after the roundabout and start walking up a hill. Btw try it terminus to terminus. You'd be looking for admission to Hairmyres Hospital at the end of it. Any hold ups and it's 2 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Erm...not going tae quote the whole ramble 'cos sometimes I think ye talk pish...but this time...spot on. However...if the guy at Gartcairn has actually built us tiny short people (thanks Randy Newman) a wee bit of terrace so we can actually see the game we paid to see...then I will give it another chance. One more chance. If it's not fixed after that we'll send the tiny wee boys round. You have been warned. She....it. Just a joke. I read that back...sheesh, just a joke, lads.

So I guess what I'm saying is - is there any other capacity other than the bits he's mentioned. 260 is going to be rather severely tested on Saturday if that is not the case ... but that's twice he's not answered Edited July 24 by BANKIEBILL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once had to get from Abronhill in Cumbie to Burnbank St. in Airdrie without a car. I have erased it from my memory bank. But, do recall one train and 2 buses finished off by a walk up the entire length of Burnbank. Still better than down here. Not done it in a wee while, or sober for that matter. Try getting from Kirkcudbright to Dundrennan outwith 7am to 6pm without walking. 8 mile walk the Commandos would pass on. I will always win in a p***ing contest re public transport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Gartcairn could lay on Sherpas for visitors? How do people get to Forth, Harthill, etc? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not impossible, you might just need one of they logistic gurus from the army to plan it out for ye. But, in truth my man possil is just looking for any excuse not to visit the famous MTC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, there's legitimate reasons to criticise Gartcairn, but being inaccessible isn't one of them.

Aye I walked a few times from Drumgelloch to Cumbie. Not a great walk but doable. Not in the depths of winter obviously, as I wanted to live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn Cheerleader Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Sorry lads been down in Ayr on holiday so signal isn't great. capacity is 180 seats 60 on the elevated terrace and 300 round about the stands etc so just over 500. The fence is moving back behind the goals to make another stand and terracing so will raise to over 1200. the last time the bankies came along they brought 140 so I'm not to worried... or should I be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
