we got the Marriott for £78 ,16 of us in there
Glassy bus always looks after fellow Gers - that’s notwithstanding kick off times though. If the kick off time is such that it can’t accommodate that flight the bus wouldn’t be able to help the lads out. The same would apply for any bus.
More onus on Rangers to get this kick off time confirmed and remember what they actually stand for. Without the support football clubs are nothing.

Absolutely spot on mate! I can’t book anything until I know if the bus can take us to Skopje

We were on that early Luton flight to Bucharest - not the greatest of my many Bears Euro trips! Thought it was a bit of a shite hole tbh.
Fantastic work sir.
Me and my mate are on same flight back to Gatwick bud.

Finally got booked, won't make the mistake of waiting on TC again.
700 sheets for flights, we better pump this mob
Well done mate £700 is crazy money, i was in a fortunate position to book last week and we got our route for £300! That's why I always book independent and this weeks events will only make me continue to do it, would much rather be in control of what I am doing and where I am going.
Enjoy it though, following Rangers in Europe is as good as it gets

Think most folk I know have hotels next to Macedonia Square, probably doesn't look quite this good nick in person but it'll do the job.Well done to all the bears who have booked up independently on the back of the official travel being given the elbow.
Now to the important stuff, where we congregating for a sing song?
How much was the taxi mate, thinking of putting a post for all the Bears on our flight so we can arrange transport to the city, cut costs obviously.

You're lucky, I won't know if I can get the Monday off until Tuesday and by that time I'm in Croatia on holiday. I haven't given up yet but it's not easy. If I'd known earlier that there was no TC flight I would at least have been able to do something but Osijek will have to be TC and I will have to work the Friday.

Fine if you have the holidays and can get them but not everybody can. I would always do indy if I could but work pays the bills and the trips.

Probably not the right thread but for us back here, what channel has the tv rights? Hope it’s not premier sports like last time!!
We really need to put the tie to bed in the first leg. I came away from the Progres match at home last season thinking we would go over there and win comfortably, I wasn’t in the slightest bit worried we had only won 1-0, we all know how that turned out.
I think we will get a decent result to take over there this time, I don’t think Gerrard will allow a lackadaisical approach like last year.

Forecast should be around 30+, feeling a lot hotter in the sun. Right now across the Balkans it is hitting 30 daily.

I am travelling on my own and I get in on that flight so I would be up for sharing transport to the centre.
If we make it to the second round, are we home or away in the first leg?

Has anyone found any cheap ways to fly into Osijek?
I have booked a hotel in Osijek from the Wednesday to Friday with free cancellation, I just need to find a route to get us there.
I will book flights after we comfortably win the 1st round first leg at home against FC Shkupi....

I’ve booked flights to Budapest . Only 2.5 hours drive to Osijek and plenty of flights from uk . The added bonus that it’s a great city

Budapest, Belgrade, Zagreb are 3 nearest airports from UK airports. The latter is not cheap at this time of year. Other option if you can get to Basel in Switzerland then Wizz Air do a flight direct into Osijek for around €120 return.

Stansted to Basel on Ryanair that connects with Wizzair flight to Osijek on Wed back on Friday is currently around £60 return. Might have to do an overnight on way back in Basel. So 2 flights for around £170 looks a good deal!
