Storm Bert on Saturday

[hands_across_the_sea]

Confident the match won’t be called off due to it but it’s already causing possible travel disruption for us coming across on the ferries. It’s saying possible cancellations second time this season possibly that our travel plans has been disrupted through weather

Between Hampden, shite KO times, weather and throw in a bus break down for us, travelling to games so far for this season has been a complete nightmare for me and others

Fingers crossed though the ferry’s sail ok but it’s not looking good

 

[Anoldranger]

Same here 400 mile round trip from north east Scotland not looking good!

 

[Withambear]

Flying up from London Saturday morning so hopefully be ok

 

[hands_across_the_sea]

at least the football that we have offered up has been a joy to watch!

I suppose my boat being cancelled for killie away was a blessing in disguise. Full refund and got ticket sold lol

I can't be the only one whose first thought was Konterman?

[In Trenches Deep]

Stena to give NI travellers a decision around 2moro afternoon.

 

[stevemcc1872]

Ffs, hopefully 8am flight from Belfast ok

P&O likely be the same id say. Not looking good if they are giving this much notice

If it’s cancelled hope we know 24 hours in advance as it means then we can still seat sub and get our 5 mygers points

I went Sesame Street

 

[Cloudburst]

Unfortunately the worst of the weather seems to be the hours building up to the kickoffs on Saturday including snow in some areas

You're alright Magoo , at least you can't see much of it

Nail on the head with this post. I hope you can get to Ibrox on Saturday.

If the high winds could stay away to 10am or so it would be good lol

My admiration for those who travel from afar to watch the current games knows no bounds. I know it’s also about the day out but holy fck it’s been sore this season.

Ditto. Everyone should be mentioned in dispatches.

My biggest concern is if the No.9 or No.38 is full from the bus stop on the Paisley Road..

This is a ballad of Mrs Begg.......

 

[Mons Calpe]

Feel your pain OP
Being on a Scottish island has the same issues you experience.
I'm hoping the wind direction means it will be a bumpy but manageable crossing.
Seems to calm down in the afternoon

 

[grande]

Flying over from Gibraltar tomorrow, fingers crossed match will be on.

Hope so mate but I’m not too confident with the ferry companies making decisions tomorrow that usually means it’s going to be cancelled. Hope I’m wrong though. Our weather warning here is in place from 5am

 

[bLuE PirAtE]

It's sh!te living in Scotland.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Worst of the wind is meant to be between 0400-1000hrs mate, with forecasts of between 40-60mph. And then again from 2000-0400hrs.

I'm down near Holyhead. We've got those winds from 0400hrs on Saturday all the way through to 0100hrs on bloody Tuesday.

The exact times we would be sailing over and then sailing home again

Just typical our luck. This season has been a shit show on and off the pitch

[Coop1872]

John Brown and Barry Ferguson due to travel and mix with the fans on the Stena boat as well.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

ach a good 1st world moan never goes a miss!

Heard that mate all to do with a documentary on the 125th anniversary of Ibrox and the support that travel from here

 

[Coopers left foot.]

90 degrees here. Jamaica loyal.

 

[Taylor armagh]

Meant to be taking my nephew to his first game,rotten luck

 

[Bluenote]

We could do with a few Bertie wonder strikes on Saturday lol

We could be doing with a few Bertie wonder strikes at any time as sadly we seem to have few players who can shoot at goal from distance with any chance of scoring right now. Bertie was hardly our best player at the time and he took a lot of stick, but he had his moment in the sun with that strike. Our current players should have a good look at that goal and try to emulate it at every opportunity.

Flying or boat mate? I think flights will be ok

Boat,I never go on the boat usually

Stena or P&O?

We are P&O but since a few years back when that big storm hit and done damage to the boat and vehicles on the deck they are quite hesitant to sail in any bad weather

 

[Woodstock Loyal]

As far as I'm aware Stena Line are already behind schedule and will need to cancel a sailing somewhere between now and Saturday to get back on time. Saturday morning is their main priority but it's a question of do they risk cancelling another boat but then the half 7 boat doesn't go due to the weather.

Bring back the sea link pride of rathlin 3.5 hour ferry. That big fucker sailed in anything lol. That was my mode of transport when I first started going in the early 90s

Some sash bash’s on them old boats lol

Thanks for that Cloudburst.
So you will be hitting us around 2. 45 mate.

 

[TamS-RFC]

Got a homer that we were hoping to finish this weekend and this put it into major doubt, which is a pain in the arse.

 

[club175]

Typical really. Been a great month or so weather wise

 

[Burgh-Ger]

All credit to the folk who travel these distances!! Helensburgh to Glasgow just seems easy

 

[atcolin]

I moved recently from 3 miles away from the stadium to 4. It's a bastard.

 

[HeyBert]

I’m coming to get yous

 

[BenVorlich]

A few of us up on the train from Merseyside and Cheshire on Saturday.
Weather forecast doesn't look too bad to be fair. A lot of rain, some snow but nothing that should stop the trains or the game. Probably a bit sketchy for those driving up from England or from the north if the gritters aren't out sharp.

Storm Bert named

A deep area of low pressure, which will bring impacts to large parts of the UK on Saturday and Sunday, has been named.

[arch999]

Flying up from London Saturday morning so hopefully be ok

Likewise. Should be ok though

 

[jaws73]

Same here 400 mile round trip from north east Scotland not looking good!

That could be the worst of the overland journeys on Saturday [from the North east] looking at the forecasts. Will be keeping a close eye on things myself.

We’re meant to be on Stena, see you at the Showgrounds if Bert beats us

 

[Sam English]

Trains likely to be cancelled then.

Stena

 

[Sorensen68]

Hail, rain or shine, I have a 20-minute drive to get parked up before a game at Ibrox.
A bit longer to get home, but not much.
So cap doffed to all those who literally go the extra miles to follow in the footsteps of their team.
