Spartans v Berwick: Travel Information

With the Scottish Cup tie against Spartans under two weeks away, the Berwick Rangers Travel Club has put together some travel information in order to try and get as many Berwick fans up to Ainslie Park as possible to get behind the team in their quest for a place in the quarter-finals.

Travelling by car:

It is understood that Pilton Drive will be closed from the nearby Morrison’s supermarket to Ainslie Park. The recommended way around this is to go to the Crewe Toll roundabout and take the Pilton exit, go underneath the bridge and head right onto Pilton Avenue then another right onto Pilton Drive.
