    Hibs are at home. Hopefully there'll be no interaction between the 2 groups.

    This is the route according to someone on Twitter.

    So no disruption on The Bridges - unlike that PoP thing!

    Goes a bit close to Hibs ground.

    News from the street -

    "Just come by on Melville. Forget MMW."

    I bumped into Laidback earlier, we were discussing the Orangemen, some of whom were in the Earl of Marchmont.

    After picking up son from meadows tennis, as we cycled back I noticed (couldnt help) the incredible amount of rubbish these people have simply dropped on the ground - burger wrappers, cans etc.

    I know its a democracy and they have a right to march etc, but.............

    Some Yessers went to pick up the rubbish, according to FB friends.

    The folk from the Marchmont Yes stall which is usually located at the MMW crossroads aka the Donut aka John's Pitch were certainly out litter picking.

    There wasn't too much detritus left around the Regent Road area as we walked up Calton Hill later.

    I got plenty of inaudible verbal and very visible gesticulatory abuse, standing in my front window beside my Yes sign, drinking my coffee as the coaches went past on their way back east/south. I can't say I was expecting anything else.
