speccy1984 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Love Partick away, been to Firhill numerous times and always a great welcome in Munns Vaults before the game. Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, St. Mirren and Motherwell decent away days too. Hamilton is up and down in recent years but 2 good trips last season and hopefully a good one again this season. Never seen us win at Inverness but the trip is always good. Dingwall, Mallard is good but never really enjoy going to Victoria Park, especially now there's no terracing behind the goal. Even though the stadium is closer to my house than Dens, United's obviously my favourite away day dependent on the result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeato Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Tynecastle is always fun. Good atmosphere and pie no to bad either. Good banter with the hearts fans too. St mirren is good aswell because we always take a big crowd but there's not much in terms of pubs nearby. The spoons next to the station is decent though. Plenty of pubs if you know where to look! 5 minute walk from the station is The Bull Inn. Can't recommend it enough! 7 Girrafes on tap as well.

Ryan1869 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Love a wee trip to Paisley for convenience but do enjoy a trip north on the bus with a few beers and then the pub before the game for a couple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Of the nearby trips, Killie went up in my estimation last year purely due to the discovery of the Brass and Granite, and probably also the fact we won that day so that's probably top. Trip to Paisley has some good pubs as well but the view from low down behind the goal is guff. I don't mind Hamilton as much as most other people so looking forward to going back there. Motherwell is OK and Celtic is obviously dreadful. Of the far away ones, I used to prefer Dingwall to Inverness (the latter being a fucking trek from the station and there never being enough transport back in afterwards) but haven't been since they seated the away end, which I'd imagine will make a difference. Looking forward to Aberdeen trip this year after not getting to go last year. Of the rest, I can't see me ever being a fan of St Johnstone as an away day after many trips in the past, and with four Dundee trips pre-split I'll probably go to one each.

Richie Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Killie is actually one of my favourite away days. Most likely because I used to stay there and it generally ends up in a pub crawl with my mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Plenty of pubs if you know where to look! 5 minute walk from the station is The Bull Inn. Can't recommend it enough! 7 Girrafes on tap as well. Five minutes!!?! You a mutant? Ten minutes at least at a quick strolling pace. Best pub in Paisley by a long mile though and worth the stroll. Btw question for Saints fans. Is the pub named The Buddies any good? It's basically next to my flat and would be convenient when Thistle visit. Looks a bit rough and ready though.

Addie Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's not a bad day by any stretch, it just doesn't stand out. Only minus marks I can give it is that Motherwell as a place is pretty shite. Location: Paisley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Most parts of the central belt can be a bit depressing so Arbroath tends to be a highlight in the lower divisions in an it's definitely not Motherwell or Paisley sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC-91 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Dumfries by a mile. This season looking forward to Aberdeen. Inverness also as not been there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: The Buddies isn't awful. if you had a few mates I'm sure it would be fine like most places are. I'm sure you've noticed that Paisley's west end isn't much like the Glasgow equivalent but...

Waffelz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The past two seasons the best away day was Inverness. 5-0 in the Cup and the fancy dress 1-2 in the penultimate game of 2012/2013. Aberdeen's always good because of the atmosphere. First game of next season should be magnificent. We should take 2500+ if we go by last season for Partick away.

You know I'm a total idiot as i misread your post as saying The Bull was five minutes walk from the stadium. You're right, f**k Google maps it's a five minute walk from the station. Paisley's west end is the only west end of any city/town where it gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Edinburgh were my fave away day. Probably Thistle, Tannadice or Pittodrie now. Pittodrie mainly as I usually stay overnight. RP has poor atmosphere (as do most spl grounds) but decent pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gandosaur Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am looking forward to Inverness and Dingwall next season naturally but there aren't too many I don't enjoy however St Mirren park leaves a lot to be desired in terms of the day out. Doesn't seem to be much around the ground at all. Nice enough stadium and facilities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland No 1 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Personal favourites are Hearts and Hibs,will miss those trips this coming season. Killie is next on my favourite away days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
