Even if you got the 22.34 train at Cartsdyke, you'd have over 20 minutes to get from Central to Queen Street.

Thanks That gets in to Central at 23:18 giving me 27 minutes The Journey Planner I used (Trainline) was obviously being far, far too cautious with the transfer time from Central to Queen Street. It must have been working on the assumption I had lots of luggage, a dodgy ankle, a stroppy toddler with me and had never been to glasgow before so didn't know where I was going 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is looking at how often they are, that runs the risk of pretty much everyone going for the same train if going by public transport which is far from ideal. Maybe they could be sensible and make it a 7pm KO, but even then, the risk of ET means the same thing. Friday is pish from the POV of it being an away trip everyone would've been keen on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 While I don't actually disagree, somehow I doubt the mirror image logistical issues would be considered if it were Morton visiting Edinburgh - which at cup QF stage and on this form would also have involved an away crowd of 3,000 or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt it, but I also don't think it's being considered here either. If the BBC want it on the Friday, it'll be the Friday. I just think it's pish, but then equally sending Killie fans to Aberdeen on a Friday would be shite as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie greatness Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 If it’s a shitshow with the trains Helensburgh over the water is a half decent night out with plenty places to stay. Dunno if the taxi fare is big tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if the taxi fare is big tbf. Reckon paying for the value of a Škoda Octavia being plunged into the river Clyde would be quite substantial tbh. Dunoon, on the other hand, is easily doable from Gourock with boats running well after the final whistle.

We got sent to Inverness on a Friday night at this stage last season. In fact, each of our last three trips to Inverness have been on Fridays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverness have had lots of lunchtime kick offs in semi finals in either Glasgow or Edinburgh, and I think most of them have been on Sundays. This does speak to the contempt with which paying spectators are regarded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
