    Ayr's a great away day. Old style stadium and plenty of decent pubs near it.

    I've been to Ayr twice and AJ is right, it is a good away trip. Old style ground with plenty of pubs nearby, which is ideal.

    Least favourite away trip is any of the out of town all seater hell-holes with no pubs anywhere near (St Johnstone, Falkirk).
    I agree, Falkirk and StJohnstone are a pain to get to with no pubs nearby[/quote

    Tannalice (despite my lanky frame not fitting in the seats) and Easter Road are favs. Loved feeling the hatred between supporters at a game at Ibrox. Shame they died.

    Rugby Park should be put down. What a depressing place Kilmarnock is.

    Rugby Park is a bit better since they built the hotel next to the ground. Plenty of bar staff so not much waiting and it's reasonably priced.

    Favourite is always Tynecastle even though in recent times we've not had the best of luck (St. Johnstone apart)

    The worst was a midweek league cup tie against QotS. One of the longest journeys we can make to see Darren Mackie twice go one on one with the keeper and hit it straight at him.
    Think I go back to Aberdeen about 1.30 in the morning.

    That is why drinking should be allowed on buses at least on the way home.

    I used to like QOS and Berwick because of the pubs, anything in Glasgow area was ok but Hamilton and Dunfermline were poor.

    And drinking on buses should be compulsary.
