[Calderwoodloyal]

I’d take Progres too. Not for psychological reasons ..... we just owe them one !

 

[Wittenberg]

I hope it's Slovakia, great country, super cheap beer and beautiful women and we did beat Artmedia back in the day!!

 

[helicopter-sunday]

Anyone but Progres for me. I want to follow Rangers around Europe to new places, I don’t want to visit the same place twice in 12 months.

The team from Slovakia or Lithuania please!

No we didn't

 

[Tommyhlrsc]

Fu(k Luxemburg...£750 for not even 3 days via Dusseldorp....Great trip, but fe(k that amount....Not even a ticket because of Rangers re jigging the travel club critia.

Probably more Bears in the non - Rangers sides of the stadium than in the 'official' Rangers section....Well done to the guy/female who came up with this idea, it then leading to the scenario plenty of Bears had to endure ?

Where did you fly from?

 

[Tommyhlrsc]

Where did you fly from?

Manchester to Dusseldorp....Glaswegian bus up to Luxemburg next day...Back to Manchester 5pm day after .

Beers very expensive both countries..

 

[alloabear]

Hope its the Slovakian team too. Bigger capacity stadium. I'll probably get the day trip through the club like progres last season.

That's crazy money.

Lufthansa return from Manchester to Luxembourg (via Munich or Frankfurt) - less than £200. Plenty of other deals on Skyscanner, BA inclusive that's cheap. Cheaper at least than your £750.

My thoughts exactly.
However, Only the less appealing Macedonia and Bosnia remain for myself.

How did it cost you that
Cost me 300 all in
Bus hotel food and beer included

You must have drunk too much cheap beer because we didn't beat them

Ah but did you buy a round ? Or is this only an FF rumour ?

You must sip your beer ....

This time ( 3/7/17) last year the tour de France was in Luxembourg so hotel and flights there were very expensive. ...thats why we based ourselves in Dusseldorf.

 

[Bri RTID]

I have my away day rules

its beneficial

 

[sregnar]

Don’t want to clog up the thread on the draw.

SLO hoping date is announced today.

Apparently the stadium doesn’t meet uefa regulations, would be moved to Phillips Arena which holds 33k.

Anyone found decent routes? Anyone looking at organising supporters buses outwith Skopje and staying nearby? Sofia looks doable.

 

[sregnar]

We are awaiting confirmation of the dates. There are three Macedonian teams in the Europa League draw and all have been drawn to play away first, home second - FK Shkupi, FK Vardar, and FK Rabotnicki. All three play in the Capitol Skopje.

 

[Crown_Defender]

Skopje is a cracking city. Would highly recommend it to anyone

 

[DeeGer10]

@sregnar can you pm me please? (sorry admin it doesn't let me do it)

 

[Fisher1982]

Flights to Sofia working in at around £180 at the minute.

 

[Crown_Defender]

Btw in terms of routes I flew with Wheeze Air from Luton

 

[sregnar]

@sregnar can you pm me please? (sorry admin it doesn't let me do it)

Have done.

 

[Barbarossa]

Anyone from Dubai going?

 

[a_weir]

Chances of getting a ticket at that big stadium seem high, which is good!

 

[sregnar]

Highest attendance is 5k
Average attendance is 1400

You’ll be guaranteed a ticket if you want one.

 

[bobally]

Hotels/Apartments look reasonably priced...around £70 for a couple of nights. I have my route planned direct from Zagreb to Skopje- £140 return.

[Gallant Few]

Just booked up Tuesday 17th - Saturday 21st.

Game should definitely be played within that timeframe even if they change it yeh?

I would expect one of the three Macedonian teams' fixtures will be swapped with the other moved

Careful - the dates may be swapped later this afternoon mate.

They might swap legs though no?

Slo just confirmed it’s a possibility on Twitter

 

[Gallant Few]

Thought they could only change it to Tuesday or Wednesday? Wouldn't expect them to switch home or away legs.

 

[Greg Marshall]

Its happened in the past.

All three Macedonian teams are likely to use the same stadium as well

SLO just said it’s a possibility.

 

[Gallant Few]

%^*& man. Hopefully not. Should have waited.

 

[Crouchy]

Imagine booking up and inadvertently missing both legs.

The Gallant one.

Didn't even think it was a possibility they could do that mate. Booked up Tuesday - Saturday because I knew they could change the dates. But %^*& me, surely reversing the fixture shouldn't be allowed!

Got visions of you sitting in Macedonia watching the game from Ibrox in a shitey wee caravan with a massive aerial.

 

[sregnar]

33 hours on a bus, how long until some mad man takes names

 

[Mview83]

How far is Sofia away?

 

[sregnar]

How far is Sofia away?

3 and a half hours if a private bus was hired.

Looks around 5 hours on public transport.

 

[Barbarossa]

Be fine on the way there, maybe not on the way back.

I'd probably die tbh

Who’s the lad who usually organises a bus?

Ah, sorry - thought you were talking this year! Fair enough mate.

Macedonia maybe not that much easier!

 

[Deek]

A guy from our RSC has done Sofia to Macedonia before, presumably with the Tranny Army . £40 for the taxi but says it was closer to six hours

Christ, lucky if we paid that between 3 of us
