⚽️ Update on an incredibly exciting city derby in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.

A lot of people have been asking about tickets for the Hearts Scottish Cup game on 20th January.

We have a limited number of tickets to give to young people for the game.

Priority will be given to those who regularly attend Spartans games and sit in the Ultras Section.

These young people must also have a completed consent form.

In the unlikely event thatany of these tickets be any left over then they will be distributed in due course.

Season ticket holders can buy tickets for the game.

Youth season ticket holders may buy 1 ticket each. They are £15 each.

Adult ST holders can buy up to 2 tickets (£20 ground access)

Hearts have been given 800 tickets & will be dealing with those themselves.

📚An incredibly important offering from the The University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Open Learning:

‘The Centre for Open Learning offers displaced persons the opportunity to take General English courses for free. These free places are available only for displaced people in Scotland, i.e. people from an area of instability or a zone of conflict who have refugee status, or indefinite leave to remain, are asylum seekers, or under humanitarian protection. This includes people from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan and Hong Kong’.

These classes are available in dedicated formats for displaced persons (Beginners and Elementary), whilst there are reserved placed for Intermediate and Upper Intermediate levels. If we can support anyone in their application, please, get in touch.
