TRAVEL

There are several roadworks across the city that may impact your travel to Easter Road. You are advised to give ample travel time for your journey. 

It should also be noted that there are temporary roadworks in place on Great Junction Street and Abbeyhill, this route to the stadium will add 20-30 minutes onto your journey time. 

Easter Road, London Road, Leith Street and the Leith Walk area are expected to be congested with the usual matchday traffic. 

The Trams will be operating at 7-minute intervals to Leith. The best stops for the stadium on Leith Walk are McDonald Road and Balfour Street. For more details on the trams and stops between Edinburgh Airport and Newhaven see the following link: Edinburgh Trams.

UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT

We ask you to think about your actions, before, during and after the match.  

We remind all supporters that unacceptable conduct will not be tolerated, anyone caught in possession of pyrotechnics, throwing objects, causing damage, entering the trackside or field of play, or bringing in bottles/cans into the stadium can expect action to be taken. 

The Club will continue to support the actions of Police Scotland and the courts in acting against anyone detected carrying out a breach of the Ground Regulations or being involved in unacceptable conduct. Regardless, if we are home or away, sanctions against any breach may result in the individual facing an indefinite Club Ban, a Football Banning Order or, as we have seen elsewhere recently, a custodial sentence. Please don’t be that person!

Walkways should be kept clear, and if seated in the stand you are asked to take up your designated seat while watching the match. This is not only a ground regulations requirement but also in the interest of the safety of all members of the public.

Football is a place where families come together to support their team and Hibernian Football Club prides itself in being a club for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, colour, gender, religion, creed or sexual orientation. Please help us keep it this way.

Finally, please listen to and follow instructions given by Police Scotland, stewards and club officials over the PA System, before, during and after the match.
