TheGuv Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The game is blatantly going to be absolute s*** I think just being there with our fans will make it a really good trip. The first N-O Overseas meet up is going to be amazing Need to make a thread when the tickets come out tbh. I better be okay with 14 loyalty points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Am looking to go to the Bordeaux game, what do you reckon is the most cost-effective way of getting there? I'd probs book wed-friday of work. Was considering driving but like 1000-odd miles is a trek and would take a whole day in itself just to get there Have a look at the train prices all the way through. Failing that Edinburgh flights will be released soon hopefully Released???. Most of the seats have gone from the flights up there. Somebody said the other day that there would be more available next month. I priced up the one thats full now when the draw was made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been to Gatwick before? It's actually closer to Brighton than it is to London so will cost almost much for taxi to Gatwick as it has for the rest of your trip. We've got a taxi for £48 so between 4 of us it's only £12 each. The train will cost around that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 This free travel from Brussels to any Belgian Station malarkey if booked through Eurostar. Does your booking have to be to "Any Belgian Station" or can your Eurostar Ticket to Brussels just be used to travel between Bruges and Belgium. My mate has booked them to Brussels but not "To any Belgian Station" and the yellow notice saying you could use your Eurostar ticket for domestic Belgium travel isn't that clear.

Doctor Zaius Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Eurostar to Bruges has went up £70 in the space of a fucking day. Extortionate robbing cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Eurostar to Bruges has went up £70 in the space of a fucking day. Extortionate robbing cunts. Still £92 for me, which is what my mate paid last night. I paid £71 a few hours earlier so it's worth doing it asap. (That's going 6.50 thursday, returning 19.52 friday) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 When I spoke with the box office earlier today the exact words they used were 'every man and his dog wants a ticket' This could work both ways I guess - there'll be a lot of people who dont get to see the game or the club are aware of the demand and negotiate a huge allocation.

Doctor Zaius Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 All sorted. Getting the Ferry on the Tuesday. Newcastle - Amsterdamn then onto Bruge via Train. anyone going via this route? Also, bit of ITK here but the club will be taking the biggest allocation possible. How much that will be remains to be seen but I should imagine around 7K.
