Scottish Blues

[JGL07]

Does anybody know of any Edinburgh based group or supporter club that go down often?, looked about can't find anything anywhere close by. Whats required to get a supporters club started ? If there was enough interest in it .

There are a number of us who travel on the train from Edinburgh for home matches.

I do the train myself , booked up until the 5th of November , season ticket ?

Not so much now.Use to get to a lot but point system now makes it harder.
Got to more away games when on 1000/3000 points.
Got really popular now so struggle.

Aye it's not ideal done a few last year but it was a nightmare trying to organise travel basically chancing my luck in hope the points would go low enough , hopefully get Middlesbrough away minimum this year

Back in 2013 I went from Edinburgh to Sunderland away with a coach load mostly from Aberdeen I think, and a few from Musselburgh. Nice crowd of 40+

Musselburgh ? I stay 5 minutes from there , is there anybody still running these types of buses ?

Anybody from the Aberdeen area ever travel down

There used to a Scottish father and son sat right behind me at Maine rd when I first started taking my son in the mid 90s. It was in the JD family stand and they were proper blues with all the associated misery and pessimism of the time. I often wondered how they come to support us. They were both very passionate about City and they both had very strong Scottish accents.

And this whole time I thought the Scottish blues was the feeling you get the morning after drinking too much Johnnie Walker

Impressive that you guys make it to matches on a regular basis. I'm no geography expert but I imagine that must be a decent trip.

Just curious, how long is your average trip?

You can get from Edinburgh to Manchester in 3 hrs 20 mins,same return.
3pm Saturday and Sunday kick offs are a great day out with some mates.
Easier for me as I work in the railway so booking of tickets no problem.
Due to TV working out plans for games is a nightmare,so much planning involved,add in rail works it an be an exhausting day.

Fair play to all of you for travelling that distance.

You're probably all glory hunting ex-Rags, but it's your life........

It can be a nightmare !, waiting on the updated tv fixtures usually results in working out the next 2 or 3 months of travel at one go to save some money ha factoring in a half 5 Saturday or 4 o clock Sunday kick off results in a nights stay or drive there and back because of work the next day , I done the final in February in a bloody mega bus 9 and half hours there and back , always worth it though .

Whooaaa.........Leicester is sooooooo last season. Surely it'd be Chelsea again, with Aazaard shirts being rescued from storage.

I am getting the train down from Windermere to the match today and back after the game! Hoping to see a Few blues on the train.

Don't forget, if they're asleep then they're fair game.....

My dad and I are lifelong blues and travel down a few times a season from Fife, we are coming down for the Bournemouth game. We are planning on trying to get down to a few more games but we can only manage Saturday games due to work commitments etc. We would definitely be interested in joining a supporters club nearby, I see there is a North East Scotland supporters club on the MCFC supporters club site.
