No mate was just a rough time I put up.I know there's folk arriving at 12.30 on the day.
Glassy bus time confirmed?
Thought was only being confirmed once kick off time was.
we got the Marriott for £78 ,16 of us in there2 nights in Marriott is around £310 booked direct (sleep minimum 2), so the flight is basically around £1250 pp to get on the plane. Could fly halfway round the world for that price, so no wonder TC could not arrange a plane!
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.It was hinted that the bus will leave after the 12:30 flight from somewhere lands due to a few lads being on it.
Absolutely spot on mate! I can’t book anything until I know if the bus can take us to SkopjeGlassy bus always looks after fellow Gers - that’s notwithstanding kick off times though.

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.
Done a similar trip on the way to Bucharest. Last flight Edin - Luton and stayed at Ibis. Early morning flight to Bucharest.
Luton is a decent airport for these type games trips with it being a hub for WizzAir.

Finally got booked, won't make the mistake of waiting on TC again.
700 sheets for flights, we better pump this mob
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.Due to arrive local time at 13.10 - taxi booked to take us straight to hotel for check in - 20 min journey). Should be ok for a few bevvies before the game ........if the flight's not delayed!

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

Just get the missus to work harder to pay for your tripsFine 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.
Be roasting at 6pm local time.
I hope we get a few goals lead at the home game.
Forecast should be around 30+, feeling a lot hotter in the sun. Right now across the Balkans it is hitting 30 daily.Be roasting at 6pm local time.
I hope we get a few goals lead at the home game.
Shame you are going to have to wait that long for your Karlovacko. On my 2nd pint for the day here as it is a tad warmGood stuff we should be in dubrovnik in about 10 hours unless the froggy ATC strike affects us
Yes, will be pick up locally. Possibly Marriott Hotel near the main square. Passport or TC card required for ID.How is the ticket side working? Just the same as last year, that we pick them up over there?
I hope they are a bit quicker than Luxembourg especially for those arriving later in the dayHow is the ticket side working? Just the same as last year, that we pick them up over there?
Eh, if I recall we camped out at the bar in the hotel until the queues went down and then we got asked to leave as the hotel didnt want supporters hanging around annoying the paying guestsI hope they are a bit quicker than Luxembourg especially for those arriving later in the day
And it was sweltering hot and you made me get the bevvyEh, if I recall we camped out at the bar in the hotel until the queues went down and then we got asked to leave as the hotel didnt want supporters hanging around annoying the paying guests
I am travelling on my own and I get in on that flight so I would be up for sharing transport to the centre.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.
Cheers
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 must have been sat next to you at that pointEh, if I recall we camped out at the bar in the hotel until the queues went down and then we got asked to leave as the hotel didnt want supporters hanging around annoying the paying guests
When do tickets go on sale for the Shkupi home leg on the 12th?
general sale starts tomorrow
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.Has anyone found any cheap ways to fly into Osijek?

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!EasyJet do Edinburgh to Basel.
Sorted our flights etc on Friday.
