If you're talking "main" entrance than Whitworths / Dog n Duck must be literally millimeters! ;)

Yes, in fact as I found out at the last home match when we are both at home Whitworths don't bother have a steward at their entrance leaving us to ensure visiting players and officials take the right entrance. :evil:

You're mental. ;)

I made the trip last year - got a taxi from near Easter Road to Edinburgh Waverley train station, got the train from Waverley to Haymarket, then walked the rest.

I've walked Dundee Utd - Dundee before (not difficult) although Sc*mdee is a s***hole. Wouldn't want to walk Hearts - Hibs, as Leith is a bit of a hole too!
