  1. Used Jimmy and Eddie once (to go to Bari) - absolutely ideal as at the time it was a pain in the bahookie trying to get there under your own steam - direct flight from Glasgow and coach transfer to the hotel (which was perfectly acceptable - only marred by allowing half of Alloa to kip in it the second night and returning home to find one of them had taken the liberty of stealing my bed :angry: ).

    Yeah, used them many a time as I was fed up doing the plane, train, automobile & 3 countries to get to some games. Your hand was held all the way there & back, no matter what state you were in (my god I seen a few) you always got on a charter plane. As I said shame really ?

  2. Wee Jimmy & Eddie was going to go into semi retirement & ask the kids & family take over, they said feck that wae awe they drunken bams haha!! Sold up & retired & gave sports options the regular email Addys. Sports option could not make enough money hence they cancelled the Serbia trip. Shame really, always got great service with passport travel if not a wee bit dear

  3. Not always.

    When I had a faulty dish,they refused to replace it,after about 1/2 hour of debating with them that something outside my property and out of reach can't be my responsibility to keep useable,(the arm part had broken) I ended up leaving them. Think it was quoted as a £60 visit,£90 for the dish and then the engineers time as well,so was gonna be in excess of £200 to repair.

    sky charge is £65 call out fee, all parts and labour are included.If you say I can't afford it they will pass you to cancellations who will drop the price to £30 or free, dependant on circumstances

  4.

    Regards

    Pogo

    I only need 2 now Pogo, going to pay now. Hope that's cool?

  5. I had a ruck sack with me one trip that would not go into the cage thingy they have. At that time the dude said you need to put it in hold fer £40 each way, I said Feck that, opened bag and put as much on my person until it fitted in the cage, Feck I was like the Michelin Man. Was saving £80 saved worth sweating like Feck, only the people next to will be able to tell you

  6. Just stay in the airport, go through security go up the esculators, the pub to the right and you can get a few in waiting. If yer a smoker, you can get a cigarette through the back. Traffic is murder and what you spend at airport prices will be saved by not heading into the city ?

  7. Exactly. In Georgia they had the pick-up point by the reception in a hotel in the main square.

    Took me almost a minute between arriving and leaving.

    Dublin was even worse, the pub they were doing it in was busy. I took at least 90 seconds that day.

    Heads should roll for this.

    Haha!! In Macedonia we had to collect at the Irish bar we were already, took 2 minutes. Damn you SSC ???

  8. Give it a rest mate, please.

    You were a fud to have started this thread, so why keep it going?

    It's your ticket, you are traveling to pick it up and you are entitled to rip it up if you want, but why come on here and carry on a pointless discussion?

    ?, cheers

  9. He intended to use the ticket.

    The op doesn't.

    Big difference.

    What if I go in to the Scotland end, walk oot, sit wae ma wife with the GFA ticket. That would deny a Scotland fan the chance of a seat wae the tartan army, do you think that is right. I am on the points I am on simply going to friendlies, such as Cyprus, Sweden, Slovenia, that mob etc... If I could let a fellow fan go through the same passion that is being a Scotland supporter in the Scotland end (we have all been there), I have to do it in this case. It took me 3 years to get on the points ladder in the early noughtees,(don't quote me, I think you will though) you have never been in a better position to get on the ladder as you have been in the last 2 years. Nae offence, it's people like you that make something oot ae Feck all. Do you fancy a pint in Portugal ???

  10. Mate of mine ####ed his knee up in Brussels, after a morning in Belgian A&E on match day and a dose of tamasapan, he was on crutches and obviously unable to make it to the game. I sold his SSC ticket on to a friend who had a mate who didn't have a ticket.

    Was my mate a harvester? He was there in Brussels and could (at a push) have produced his membership card and collected his ticket.

    J

    Naw ?

  11. I'm more satisfied that you are completely missing the point about the next campaign.

    You've ordered a ticket you're not using,ok,it didn't sell out,there's not a clamber for tickets for this one,but,you are gaining a point for something you're not using which may help you out in the next campaign,but your heads so far up your own arse,you don't want to acknowledge you may be cheating someone later.

    That's me telt then. ?

  12. Would have been great if the SSC could offer family tickets for this game. My wife and daughter would have came to the game if they were sitting next to me and the laddie.

    I have 2 spare SSC tickets available ???

  13. So, to close this "loophole", the SFA should add an extra condition, reading something along the lines of...

    The Member should absolutely not spend hundreds of pounds to travel to the match, buy 2 tickets (even if doing so is NOT denying someone else a ticket) and then attand the match using the ticket of his choice.

    As RETRO has already pointed out, common sense and facts. I'm out now. Carry on being ridiculous.

    The irony of all of this is RETRO will probably get breathalysed and denied entry from the mixed section and get in fine using his official away ticket. Everyone's a winner.

    Yep, sounds about right ??? ???
