On a Saturday afternoon the Caley seems to usually be chocka with couples and families grabbing lunch.
Really? Yikes - that rules that out then . I always place value on local knowledge so thanks for that. As a Jambo, I know the area very well but not specific practicalities like that as I don’t live up there. I still think pubs on the South side of the railway are a better bet for being less crowded though as it’s the football close season and local interest in the World Cup will be minimal,( again! )
Coming through from Hamilton for the day, I’m minded to park on Slateford Road for a quick post concert getaway as my coach back South leaves at 8am the next day.
Friday night in Edinburgh March 9th - Local football Derby Between Hibs and Hearts [Edinburgh Footballs two teams] Hibs won as normal, Can drink as we did until 4.oo am as I said if you know where to go.. Don't worry If you want a drink it won't be a problem.

There or maybe round Saughton Park / Balgreen Road. My brother in law always parks in Polwarth when he's going to Tynecastle, but you could probably get a bit closer than that.

That's Jay Z and Queen Bey announced to play Hampden on the same day, which might eat into the chances if this selling out.

Yes Of course I know . I did say I’m a Jambo. And I do travel up from my home in Oxfordshire for several games a season. I also went to Edinburgh University in the 80s so I know what it’s like even if my knowledge isn’t quite upgrzegorz67]
to date.
It’s only been ‘as normal’ for the last 3 years. Over the course of our respective histories Hearts are miles ahead in derbies so enjoy your period of hegemony while it lasts. But I’m fair minded and I’m happy to admit that your mob are far better at the moment. Your all Scottish midfield is excellent and really ought to feature for Scotland.
I’m personally not too interested in a drink after the show as I have an 8am coach from Hamilton to Oxford the next day. Where are we (my cousin) best to park for a quick post show getaway? I thought on Slateford Road

Not so much I don't think as they're unlikely to attract similar audiences. The roads and railways of Central Scotland will be mobbed that day !

Hi grzegorz67]
Apologies if you misunderstood I was only trying to be general optioned rather than reply direct to you. I understand that you were not looking to have a drink after the concert due to your personal circumstances. I was merely pointing out that the prospect of anyone seeking a drink after the concert would not be a major issue. As for the football side of things I think you need to simplify your word to to your fellow Jumbos, Jimbos or Jambos whatever you call yourself this week. Hegemony is not a word they will understand or be able to translate . I have been there and know what it is like to lose only 4 times in 17 years . Hegemony indeed . Anyway this is not the place to discuss local football issues and I do respect your informed comments on the current situation. Hey what goes around comes around. Would love to buy you a beer keep in touch !!

does anyone know why the Edinburgh show is starting at 4:00? Also, anyone know who/if there is an opening act.

Good sport MrDDDD - but for those who don't know the UK rail system, that's only one company. Tickets on other routes (eg from London or Bristol) are yet to drop to their lowest prices.
