| 1. Author: Saline_par Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 00:13 I`m taking my 5 year old son for his first Pars match next month, took him to a Brann match last season so he`s caught the bug and was excited to learn he was going to Hampden. Our route to Hampden from Bergen is an unusual one as we were originally scheduled to be in Devon for that weekend for my in-laws` golden wedding anniversary celebration. Needless to say I`ve excused myself and the lad from that (didn`t go down too well with everyone!). So we`re going Bergen-Gatwick on the Wednesday, then Newquay to Edinburgh via Dublin on the Friday. So for a potentially once in a lifetime chance of watching the Pars lift the Cup, where is everyone else travelling from? And how are you getting there?

| 2. Author: The-Pars Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 00:56 Potentially Brisbane. My dad passed away last month so I unexpectedly made the sad journey home - he’s the reason I’m a Pars fan, so Saturday was filled with mixed emotions and a lot of tears. If I can get my funds back up and work as many hours as I can - I’ll try and be there for the both of us. Reply |
| 3. Author: PeachtreePar Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 03:04 Kennesaw, Georgia which is a small city about 25 miles North West of Atlanta. I’m bringing my 14 year old son who was born in the U.S. He’s seen one Pars game a few years ago and very excited. Shorter trip for me this time. The 2007 Cup final I flew from Lima,Peru as had been working there. No matter how near or how far a journey I’m just glad to be coming over. I did see the home win in person against Airdrie in August and watch most games on Pars TV. Reply |
| 4. Author: PeachtreePar Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 03:43 Sorry for your loss The-Pars. I would have felt very much the same. I’m planning to take my dad to the final. He will be 85 in the summer. He always promised to take me to see the Pars when I was kid but he sacrificed a lot to bring up his family. I eventually took him back to watching games. First one together was a notable 3-0 win against Falkirk on Hogmanay in 1988. We walked six miles to get to that match and back. I’m hoping a bus will drop us off this time! Reply |
| 5. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 05:34 The sunny sights of…..Cowdenbeath 😂 I was considering taking my 5 year old daughter along, she has attended a couple of games this season, but I think the occasion and length of day would be too much for her. I can see a few family members of mine making the trip, including soon to be in laws. Would be great for us to win it - the Mrs Grandad is well into his 80s now and a bit Pars fan, but cant really get to games anymore, so would be fantastic if we won it just to see the smile on his face! Also, sorry for your loss The-Pars. Reply |
| 6. Author: Leamington_sPAR Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 09:26 Nothing as glamorous as some of the other posters, which ones, I’ll let you make your mind up😉 Travelling up from Long Itchington (Warwickshire) as I did this last week. Likely to have my son-in-law and 2 grandsons this time along with my 2 sons and brother-in-law. Hoping we can make memories by lifting the trophy and end my own hoodoo of nearly 50 years supporting the Pars. Reply |
| 7. Author: KnebworthPar Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 09:45 There was a good few Pars fans on my flight from Stansted on Saturday morning. Expecting to see a few more for the final. Didn’t see any Falkirk tops! Reply |
| 8. Author: Bandy Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 09:52 Not massively exciting, but me and my Barnet season ticket holder son will be travelling up from Barnet. Reply |
| 9. Author: veteraneastender Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 10:30 From the Wee County, now that we have a rail connection I have that option. Got the train most of the way Saturday before hooking up with son, grandson and a longtime Pars friend at Lenzie for onward travel. I should have minded that the train stopped at Larbert - more than a few Falkirk got on................... On the way back I jumped on a front carriage - just as well - the rear ones were full of greetin` Bairns, however they never clocked me - watching them trundle off with tails between legs was worth the fare alone !!!

| 10. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 10:51 Flying out to Tenerife next Monday for 3 weeks so will be watching play offs in various bars, back for the final though! Brings back memories of last final sgainst Celtic, was out in Tenerife and saw us defeat Celtic at Parkhead on telly, amongst a Celtic support in the Irish Fiddler. They were all very friendly and wished me well for the final! Reply |
| 11. Author: JohnnyLatics Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 10:58 I`ll be travelling back from Oldham, Lancashire again along with the Missus which will be her first Pars game. We`ll be staying with our son who lives in Perth for a long weekend and travelling to Hampden on the day. Could be a lot of travel involved too in regards to the playoffs. I blame Andy Rhodes for this! Reply |
| 12. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 11:24 Copenhagen. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 13. Author: Skid Chicane Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 11:34 Venice. Hastily arranged Friday night flight back to Edinburgh leaving the family holiday in Italy early. It was only after the Hibs game I realised the clash, but had a funny feeling it would become an issue. Reply |
| 14. Author: Sammy_Must_Die Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 11:40 Rather sadly I am supposed to be on a work trip in South Korea at the time of the final. I`m desperately trying to rearrange dates this week!!  Reply |

| 16. Author: JohnnyLatics Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 12:21 Sammy_Must_Die, Tue 21 Apr 11:40 Spent over a month there last year, superb country. I blame Andy Rhodes for this! Post Edited (Tue 21 Apr 12:21) Reply |
| 17. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 13:05 Related to this thread as to how many tickets we request for the final. In 2004, we took 17000 where everyone and their dog was there. I was in Germany at that time and I remembers loads travelling from all over the world. So, assuming everyone who went on Saturday will be there plus all the rest we should be requesting about the same number of tickets and take it from there. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 18. Author: BouncyPar Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 13:27 I hope the town gets behind the team like they did in 2004. Walking down the high street the week before the final and lots of the shops had Pars window displays. Ive often wondered what the town would have looked like on the afternoon of the final, it felt like it must have been totally empty as everyone was in Glasgow Reply |
| 19. Author: Jock Par36 Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 14:05 My youngest son will travelling from Dubai, and i will travelling all the way from Lochgelly. Reply |
| 20. Author: Johan_Cruyff Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 14:15 Rome, Georgia (about 40 miles west of PeachtreePar) Bringing my 10 year old who we adopted 7 years ago. He`s never left the US before but is so excited to wear his Pars strip to see the team for the first time!  Reply |
