The Big Trip - latest news

Plans are coming together for The Great Expedition to Gorgie, our ambitious plan to get as many England-based Jambos to Tynecastle as possible.

If you don't know the background, then click here to catch-up....

Basically, we are holding a Burns Night party in York on Friday 25 January, and will then be travelling en masse to Tynecastle the next day for Hearts v Motherwell.

Many have already signed up but it would be great to add to that total. We hope to book train tickets on Saturday or Monday (Nov 3 or 5), to get the maximum group discount, so let us know ASAP on yorkhearts@yahoo.co.uk if you want us to add you to the list.

Not convinced yet? Here goes.... Hearts have very generously agreed to give us 10% of our ticket order free - IF we book more than 20 tickets. That discount will be shared between everyone who commits to the trip early, so let us know now to guarantee 10% off your match ticket.

And for the Burns Night? We will be heading over to North Riding Brew Pub in Scarborough in early January to brew our very own beer for the event - brewed to a strength of 5.1% ABV, in honour of the cup-final score!

So celebrate Burns Night, get behind the Jambos, and sign up for a great event to blow away the winter blues fo January! email yorkhearts@yahoo.co.uk
