Booked last night. Aberdeen to Amsterdam Sunday - Wednesday - £145 return Train from Schiphol to Brussels Centraal direct about 50 Euros return.

If you are going for something to eat, I can recommend a wee Italian restau.......... Oh, wait a minute

Was in Pisa in the summer. It's worth jumping in a taxi and going straight to the tower. It's only 15-20 minutes from the airport and will cost about 20 Euros. Lot's of nice wee boozers in the area of the tower. There's not much else to see in Pisa.

8:30 Aberdeen tomorrow morning to Gatwick then onwards to Milan then Rome and finally in Tirana at 23:25 tomorrow night. A long day but I'm sure it will be worth it.

I got an e-mail from blue-panorama last night. Thinking the worst, I opened it. Surprised to read a flight reminder and welcoming me on board with a few tips for my flight. Flying Tirana - Milan at 16:45 on Sunday evening.

In my opinion, we have to win this game to avoid feckin embarrassment.

WARNING Albania is not covered by the free calls abroad scheme on most networks. Make sure your data roaming is switched off. Use WiFi only.

Andyp. Sent you a PM

I've got 2 spares for the home section (Section D4) Face value is £7 - will sell for £5 each. They are e-tickets so I can e-mail them on if anyone wants them.

It doesn't necessarily have to be your passport, it says ID. Driving license or even SSC card should be suffice.

Booked with rideways.com. £28 return for a taxi. UK based company paid up front so no hassle having to pay in Euros or Leks and no getting ripped off by dodgy taxi drivers.

4 pointers yes - possibly even three pointers

Common sense says that they will have pick ups in Tirana the day / night before. But when have common sense and SSC ever appeared in the same sentence.

Had the option of flying direct from Milan to Tirana with this mob but after reading their reviews, I chose to fly Milan - Rome Tirana with Alitalia. Seemed a pain in the butt at the time but glad I took that option now.

They are about £7 a go. I've bought 2 and right in the front row. It's the only section selling. The rest of the stadium has sold about 20 tickets.

Another 2 in D4. Back up only.

Albanian FA website ticket sales has been updated showing our game. However, it's saying unavailable on line. https://bileta.fshf.org/biglietteria/listaEventiPub.do?codice=fshf

I'm on 4 points so optimistic. The 100% pick up will help. Going to buy a home end ticket for back up if they go on sale before.

Davy, You have potentially 1500 punters on your busses. No doubt many more making their own way to Shkoder under their own steam. Has anyone from the SSC or SFA been in touch regarding numbers / ticket allocation. They could use these numbers as a guideline when they come to negotiating with the Albanian FA. Just wondering.

Aberdeen - Gatwick - Milan - Tirana (Thursday) Tirana - Milan (Sunday) Milan - Luton - Aberdeen (Monday) Coming in about £230 all in just now.

Changed hotels. Hotel Austria for Portlethen TA. Really splashing out - £80 for three nights

Booked over the weekend. Aberdeen - Gatwick - Milan - Rome - Tirana going out Thursday 17th Tirana - Milan - Luton - Aberdeen (overnight stay in Milan on Sunday night) About £225 all in for flights. Three nights in Hotel Austria, Tirana - £80

Can't recommend a pub for the football but a few pointers for Riga. It is a fantastic city, one of the best City breaks I've done. Some must dos :- Go for the free walking tour of the city. Not free but you tip the guide at the end of it - about 5 Euros a head. Go to the corner house, the HQ of the KGB when they were based in Riga. A harrowing experience. Go to the museum of the occupation and get a guided tour. There's not a great lot to see but if you get the tour, the guided tour through the history is amazing. Go to the top of the sky tower for a drink. Amazing views across the city. If you have time, take a train out to Jarmala beach. The train costs about £3 return but it's the touristy resort on the Baltic Sea. Excellent bars and cafes in the town centre. Enjoy Riga - I loved it.

Absolute shambles.

Does he have 500 brothers or sisters by any chance ?
