Salvo Montalbano Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Its a bit of an uphill slog and at the wrong end for away supporters even if it's a bit closer and less time than the Queen Margaret Station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I'd just get off at Queen Margaret tbh if I were an away fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Queen Margaret only has the Elizabethan though. If you’re wanting a choice of pubs get off at Town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Yup, get off at Dunfermline Town and fire up in the town centre for a good selection of pubs. I've always thought that Dunfermline would be a decent away day for away fans. Easy enough to get to (despite one or two changes if taking the train, Megabus services from Edinburgh and Dundee to the Park and Ride) and plenty of good pubs in the town, before a fairly short walk to the ground or a quick number 19 bus along (it stops literally outside the stadium) or cheap taxi. The only issue is getting a carry out for the train back, although if you're going north you need to go to Inverkeithing anyway and there are a couple of good shops for that and if you're going anywhere else you need to change at Edinburgh, which likewise has shops for that. You could avail yourself of the big Tesco in Dunfermline town centre, but it wouldn't be cold beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Be fascinating to see if there’s a part 2 to the North West Smoke Bomb Crisis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 If you're not going to a pub but are travelling by train then definitely go QM. There's actually a nice wee path that runs from across the road all the way to the back of the stadium. A more pleasant stroll than walking beside Halbeath Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 A more cultured trip imo is going to the Town station, walking the 10-15 mins to pubs like the Old Inn / Creepy etc via the cobbled streets that pass through the palace/abbey grounds, and then walking the 20 mins to EEP. Can then go from the ground back to the station via the aforementioned park. I for one always quite like to see places rather than just go straight to the ground and back, and as far as Scottish towns go, Dunfermline has one of the nicer town centres (the Heritage Quarter in particular). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 A shame there's no Viccy Wines at the east end of East Port anymore, it's the perfect last stop for a carry out through the park after being in the town for some pints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North British Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Looking forward to tomorrow, making a night of it . Dunfermline full of great pubs and is a great night out . Reminds me of what Ayr used to be like sadly . Took a 2-2 draw on the coupon . We’ll see ! Anyway ,any Pars fans want a blether about the game etc , the noisy “Belmont Boys”will be in Malloy’s (if it’s still there) after midnight ! Not as good as the old Lorenzo’s as I remember it , but not too shabby . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shop is now shite, if it's the one in Appin crescent, only sold the canisters for home pour systems. I went in for a can of Irn Bru and the boy looked like I had two heads. Although they do sell crypto there as well. Edited April 15, 2022 by 101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they do now; Bitcoin ATMs were removed since they didn't conform to some FSA regulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 If I had to genuinely guess what the starting line up would be then I’d go for this McAdams, Houston, Muirhead, McGinty, Reading, O’Connor, McInroy, Kenyon, Maxwell, Adeloye, Ashford Wouldn’t be too unhappy with it tbh but hopefully Murdoch is fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Either one if these two starting line ups and I would be reasonably happy, McKenzie and Houston 100% need benched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
