Crookston to Ibrox - is it walkable?

[TN8]

Got my cousin's kids birthday party on Saturday before the game in Crookston, wondering whether it's realistic to walk to the stadium? Google maps is giving me 1hr 4 mins which i can't say I fancy... although if I was to leave about 1.30 ish a wee pit stop for a pint somewhere would also appeal.

 

[WinkieWATP]

That the fit cousin?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Should be able to walk it quicker than that if you walk quite quick. I’m a fast walker, however the chap I go with essentially waddles so would take us about two hours.

Earphones in and off you go.

Get a taxi to a pub nearer stadium and then walk a short distance.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

It's only an hour's walk ffs. Get on with it!

Her brother actually. I'll tell him you were asking after him

 

[BSPECIAL]

Half an hour to forty minutes.easily

 

[3cheers.Rfc]

I walk it from cardonald every home game and it takes roughly 40min. You could get a bus from Paisley road quite easily if you can't be bothered with the walk.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

I’m an hour walk from Hillpark and I’d guess it’s a wee bit further than Crookston.

 

[Henry2510]

It’s couple pound on the bus so depends on the weather I suppose

 

[nelster]

Used to do it in an hour.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Technically London is walkable

 

[Blue 52]

Get the train (if there running) from Crookston to Dumbreck 15 minute walk to the ground from there. Pint in the Louden job done.

Used to walk from Pollokshaws every home game as a boy

Walk down Crookston Rd to Paisley Rd. About 25 minutes then get any bus up to Ibrox

 

[EddieEHitler]

Used to do it in 30 mins every other week when I lived there. You can cut through Pollok and over the railway bridge to come out at Cardonald College area and make it even quicker

I’ve been doing it for 50 years.

Mainly because it’s a pain in the arse to get to using public transport from such a short distance.

Definitely weather dependent and how much of a lazy bastard I feel dependent.

It must be great to be able to walk home from games if your within 40 minutes that’s achievable for most levels unless mobility is an issue. My knee is gone so I wouldn’t have that luxury.

The traffic in and around Ibrox is as bad as it’s ever been and is at the point now I know it’s putting some season ticket holders off going to some games.The stress of getting parked anywhere near the ground is crazy. They are giving their tickets away for some games because they just can’t be doing with the battle with the traffic.

This is where if you had money even if you don’t drink hospitality appeals. Bar72 used to be great to have a cup of coffee after the game , watch the fulltime results etc come in and then saunter to your car an hour or so after fulltime to empty streets.

 

[RangersForever]

I usually go on the assumption I can walk a mile in 20 minutes without too much effort. Most reasonably fit adults can walk at that pace.

 

[PrivateAye72]

The number 3 bus practically goes door to door does it not?

FF's can walk Ibrox front door to central station in 15mins on a match day. The FF's must be the guy from police squad

Pop into the off license and grab a bottle for the walk.

 

[PT98]

Can walk it in 15 mins if you go via Partick

 

[arnietac1]

depends what part of Crookston. I live near the Lidl and over an hour to walk to Ibrox.

 

[Mr Dave]

Walk down to the Quo Vadis(about half way)have couple of pints and carry on.

 

[Blue 52]

Good to see the spell check police are out in force today.

 

[neilyblueboy07]

Lace the gutties up, and run in! Easy!

That was my first thought where in Crookston ?

 

[Southside_shug]

Uphill, both there and back?

It was pretty flat to be fair

There and back 5 miles

 

[Southside_shug]

did the same, pal into birness and me shawbridge street

I was across the road from the Stag

 

[DRAGO]

Easily walkable

 

[NE Cornerbear]

Surely the easy way is train from Crookston to Dumbreck. 15 min walk from Dumbreck to Ibrox.

 

[whitbyontbear]

Uphill, both there and back?

In snow up to your oxters.

 

[Govan Ger]

If its at the start of Crookston next to the PR it'll take about 40 minutes to walk to the stadium.

 

[Behindenemylines]

nice. ws it not he old swan inn back then?

 

[Professor Yaffle]

It's walkable. Loads of buses along Paisley road if it's pissing down.

 

[The Jeanie]

That's if they're/there/their running or not.

 

[McGill Bear]

If it’s up it’s up at the Lidl, Bowling Club part of Crookston Rd then it’s a 3 to Paisley Rd West get off at Argosy pub and there about 3 or 4 different buses go to Ibrox.

 

[Cathcart Bear]

The standard reply for any walking thread

You only need to walk to PRW and get a bus from there, a nice walk.

 

[Arkyblue]

Walk down to Paisley Road West. Plenty of buses

 

[shawlandsbear]

Best walking to the clyde and jumping on the rangers boat

 

[Mount_Bear]

I’m an hour walk from Hillpark and I’d guess it’s a wee bit further than Crookston.

About equidistant I'd say

 

[Deek1872]

If your on Crookston road either walk upto PRW and get a bus. Or get number 3 on Crookston road and get off on PRW for bus to Ibrox/boozer.

I walked it a lot after games back to Crookston road due to lack of buses post match and took an hr.
