| 1. Author: dunfermlinepar Date: Tue 5th May 2026. 12:24 Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but can’t recall seeing anything. Where are people going pre match? We had planned to go to Glasgow indoor bowling club but having called them this morning they are fully booked so now on the hunt for alternative options. Needs to accommodate 15 of us and children Reply |

The club takes 300. As it is a club , food and beer prices are cheaper but there is a £4 member charge in cash at the door, but given that pubs will be charging a fortune anyway, you will not notice that cost. They are welcoming Pars fans and you can contact Natalie (she will get back to you as the club is open only Thursdays to Sundays unless there is an event on 07495836750). They have TNT sports. Food is cash, but drinks are card & cash. Bus parking at front and rear of the club and 12 minutes from Hampden. Opening at 10:30, but drinks from 11. I have a food menu but don’t know how to add it here. Oh and it is family friendly. And food is good for kids. We have a number of children on our bus. Post Edited (Tue 05 May 14:01) Reply |

| 5. Author: BouncyPar Date: Tue 5th May 2026. 15:18 Has anyone heard anything from the club re the range of merch they were planning to sell? It was mentioned a couple of weeks ago that they were going to produce shirts, flags etc, but I haven`t heard anything since Eta tshirts, I mean, as opposed to the replica kit they are selling Post Edited (Tue 05 May 15:20) Reply |
| 6. Author: Lucho_8 Date: Tue 5th May 2026. 15:29 Was wondering the same, have not seen any further news on this but you would have thought they would have had in for the play off games Reply |
| 7. Author: Par Date: Tue 5th May 2026. 15:29 It will be a tight turnround, this is from the shop regarding reordering the shirts, not much room for delays. No mention of the rest of the merch. Important Information: This item is for pre-order and is not available for immediate dispatch. Tops will begin fulfillment from Wednesday 20th May. Any items purchased with this item will be dispatched with the shirt. If you select postage we cannot guarantee delivery by the Scottish Cup Final so we suggest you select ‘collect in store’ at checkout. Due to the tight turnaround we are unable to offer personalisation on these shirts. Regarding pre match The Church on the Hill is about 10 minute walk from Hampden, better to have a walkable location as traffic round about Hampden in the hour or two before kick off will be a nightmare Post Edited (Tue 05 May 15:32) Reply |
| 8. Author: BouncyPar Date: Tue 5th May 2026. 15:40 I`m hoping for a cracking day weather-wise, hopefully we will be hanging around Cathcart Rd/Carmunnock Rd again with a carryout from the Tesco Express. Either that or on the grassy mound next to the bus park, but I`m not sure if police allow drinking in that area. Beats waiting in silly queues and paying silly prices in the nearby pubs imo Reply |

| 11. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Tue 5th May 2026. 16:20 could try the corona at shawland Cross https://corona-bar.com/ or next door https://www.themarlborough.uk/ would be good if any Pars DJs etc were to be available and good big event space. or queens park bowling club? Depending the outcome of the league Celtic have been known to do a stadoum march from Glasgow green to east side of Hampden which makes traffic etc from Merchant city towards the ground a nightmare.
