Get to Auchenhowie for our players 5pm - they need us now more than ever

[TQ3]

They came through the normal route when we qualified for the Eufa groups v Ufa, and the bears were there at daft o’clock to greet them. I don’t see why they would do anything different, plus if they are told the bears are waiting then they will make the point of going the normal route.

Hampden needs to bouncing on Saturday

As it stands the final on Saturday has barely entered my thoughts. And I suspect many are the same.

But by the time I take my seat at hampden I’m sure we will all be up for it.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

@sregnar got a life ban for a less antagonistic comment this week.

(p.s. I was there)

Real fan loyal

Haha he deserves it for not smiling ever.

Aw you know my story mate, hope you had a blast dust ourselves down and win this Saturday

 

[CalebBrodie]

Anyone any updates ? Will they come through the normal areas?

 

[Crouchy]

I saw him raise a small smile when Aribo scored. Very quick though!

 

[Govan front]

If it’s airside transfer you need to head to the airport taxi area on west side of airport they will get busses out the west gate area . If folk go maybe 45 mins before it lands and sees the busses up that side it will be airside transfer . If the busses are down the front of the building it will be normal route out arrivals

On that, the airport and transfers were excellent.

Fast tracked through, zero fucking about.

[Grigo Yossarian]

Yeh that’s what I thought too. Just before anyone makes a long journey to possibly not see them.

If it’s the one I’ve been to it’s around at the east end of the airport. The car park is really small, maybe only holds about 15 cars.

 

[Gordy Boy]

That’s what should happen.

But will the armchair loyal be even bothered enough to travel a relatively short distance (for most) whilst those of us over here recover from the on set of dehydration and eventually make our way home.

We'll enjoy our sachets of Diaoralyte and not have to worry about missed flights.

Enjoy the panic, you staunch bastard you.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Would be great to see.
We have too many glory hunters though, that are onky interested when we win.

Glory hunters haha. One trophy in 10 years. Don’t be a complete knob to people who may not have the funds to attend, we’re all the same and all want one thing Rangers winning

 

[stooler]

great shout OP, will give the players a huge lift

 

[cooprfc]

I agree with you but right now I'm not sure how I will even be able to drag myself to Hampden on Saturday.

 

[Jose Calypso]

This is how I feel also.
I’m sure by Saturday the battle fever will be recharged tho

What an utterly rubbish thing to say.

I was in the stadium last night and am currently in Almeria airport after a 4 hour drive from Seville to get here but making digs at people who couldn't come is utterly moronic.

Good for you mate. Good for you.

 

[Solmask]

Do they not go to the training ground from the airport to get their cars etc ? That might be another possibility for some fans to go there and welcome them back .

 

[Firstandforemost]

As far as I know there’s only one passport and visa control area so they would need to come out from normal arrivals.
I’ll double check though.

They will be bussed away from airside. Won’t come through normal international arrivals.

 

[KuwaitBear]

Did anyone find out where they will be coming through the airport yet?

Missus is going to take the kids up.

 

[midlandbear]

It may be better to meet them where the bus is going, let me get on it now.

 

[Mawsmaw]

Flight is ZT873 to monitor.
Due to leave Seville at 15.00 (14.00 here) and land 16.44.

 

[Torque_87]

Anyone know if the players will leave via the usual doors? Or do they get out via a private exit that's not used by your everyday passengers?

I'll be heading over.

 

[Vony Tidmar]

I would love for our guys to get a heroes welcome coming off the plane.
They will all be feeling at their lowest and that’s where we (as we always do) step up. That’s our job.

They took us to a final that many of us never thought we would see again, and within a penalty kick of winning it.

It’s things like this that set us apart from the rest. We follow follow win, lose, or draw.

They are heros imo they gave everything in this euro run I will be there let's do this for them!

 

[vicbex]

Bring a bottle of water.

 

[Jose Calypso]

Keeping my eye on this.

At a loose end today and have no desire to do anything.

Welcoming back the players might just start to get last night out of my system and start to process it.

It’s a tough one to come back from.

 

[midlandbear]

The team is being collected from the aircraft and taken straight to Auchenhowie.

They should enter the training complex via the rear gates. Arriving at the airport 4:44pm so if we get to the training ground for 5pm we should be there in plenty of time.

Stand up and be counted bears, the lads need us.

Head to Auchenhowie mate for 5pm, virtually impossible to greet them at the airport due to how they are bussed out.

Just saw the edited OP with this info mate. I've never actually ventured out to the training complex, I take it when it says "rear gates", it's just the usual gates you see in the usual photos etc?

Sounds like a great shout since the airport isnt working out as hoped. Anyone know where is best to park around Auchenhowie?

 

[exiled bluenose]

Be a great boost to the lads seeing thousands of bears welcoming them home im sure. Wish i could be there. Please post footage folks.

 

[chuckey]

Great shout

 

[goaaaal]

Just a heads up Both areas are totally unfit for car parking especially around the edges of Milngavie .

The approaches from Auchenhowie Rd @ Allander Toll /Balmore Road or from Bearsden are single track but wide roads with no parking .

There is car parking available behind the Main Street but at a guess I'd say 100 spaces and it's metered a good 10 minute walk through to The Auchenhowie complex.

Can see it being Police Motorcycles to get through the rush hour traffic via Clyde Tunnell or they may opt to go over The Erskine Bridge up through Duntocher/Hardgate into Milngavie

 

[madride]

That's no excuse..

Agreed.

A proper gathering at the training centre is a non-starter.

 

[Mikosrightfoot]

Yeah we're scum

How dare some people not have the finances to afford them the ability to attend matches indeed.

There is another thread for moaning about our fans, maybe post in there instead.

Flight delayed an hour now

Probably a Boggy field at the bottom of that hill coming off Boclair Road

great idea, we still have a trophy to win and even though the league was a disappointment this year , we can still have a trophy after a great european run.

 

[kai-Johansen59]

We’ll have a heroes welcome for you too

Maybe best to reserve that welcome for the guys who collapsed in the stadium, the guy who had a heart attack and the guy who badly injured his leg on the steep terracing.

When I asked the medical staff for help for dehydration the only suggestion given was to leave the Stadium which sadly some distraught Bears had to do at half time.

Running of drinks an hour before kick was serious and no laughing matter.
