Going along to this - I have emailed Spartans using the email they mention asking if tickets are required or we can pay at the gate. Will let you know when they get back to me. Edit: That was quick. Hi VladimirWeiss, Pay at the gate will be available for the Linfield end (ground admission) on Saturday from 1.30pm onwards. The stand section for Linfield fans is ticket only. I’m not sure if there is any stand availability left as Linfield took responsibility for allocating the stand seats. Hope this helps and we look forward to welcoming you to Ainslie Park on Saturday afternoon. Kind regards, I'll probably head to the ground early in case it's mobbed.

LOL153 No Surrender!!! 1,810 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just on a quick break in work. It looks like just one stand then a grass type of verge all the way round so not sure what it will hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's both tickets and pay at the gate - the stand is tickets, the ground section/s are pay at the gate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a game played there a while ago, was mental - cunts on pitch when goals going in as it's only a wee daft railing you can duck under to get on.

BEE 4,880 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If you're going to the boozer pre/post match then I'd stick to the centre - Granton makes Leith look like Bearsden supposedly. Edit: Feel bad taking the pish out this as it's class what Spartans do for the area - but the two women in this are definitely just out to score (and I'm not talking about joining in the game!).

Brilliant, Edinburgh isn't really high on places that I go to a lot. Never liked the place, got caught out one midweek game against they junkie fucks going back along the road in late eighties. Very rarely up there. Just prefer Glasgow for anything. Just trying to get used to this site now. Everything is basically the same but was just getting used to it as it was.?

Muirhouse is a wee bit further than that, not too far but still a wee bit away. Its Strachan's neck of the woods though apparently. Spartans ground is almost my folks back garden, more Pilton area. Nowhere near as bad as Muirhouse but no perfect either See Edinburgh City are ground sharing with them this season too whilst Meadowbank gets done up. I've also actually played on this pitch in a charity game with my old work. Its just the one stand and then the railing all the way around.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's in the shite side of Edinburgh. Piltons a dive although some new builds are brightening it up. To get there from the centre will require a taxi or a fucking long walk. I suppose without colours and in a large group any pub would be ok but to be honest the EH4/5 area has its rough parts. Not quite as bad as Wester Hailes right enough or Craigmillar but still a shitehole. A taxi from city centre on a Saturday to Pilton is about 10/15 mins with little traffic. I do it during the week and it can be a cunt. Stay safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye if you come up the big steps onto princes street opposite the apple shop. Turn left and go along past the Malones outdoor pubs . Turn left at the junction and go down and it's on the side. Or if it's easier go up the road going out of station where the taxis used to go and turn right there. That's where it is. Failing that, standing order on Georges street is a spoons and prob easier to get away to the game. There is also one in omni center Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
