  5. Thought this was worth sharing for anyone not on Twitter/Facebook etc The 11 intrepid cyclists, doing the charity cycle from Wembley to Hampden (here's their team fundraising page LINK) are offering the chance of a lifetime!! MASCOT RAFFLE Win a mascot package prize for the Scotland vs England Match– June 10th 2017. The prize includes matchday tickets to the game for the Mascot and 2 adults. Its with huge thanks to SSE, one of the main sponsors of the TASA Wembley to Hampden Bike Ride team, that we have been gifted this amazing prize, to help push us closer to our target of raising £10,000 to donate to the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal. HOW TO WIN Its pretty simple really – just ‘buy’ a raffle ticket by using the donate function on the link below.

  6. Anyone thinking of booking into a No1 Lounge, see deal from Moneysavingexpert deal Deal is £20/pp and includes Fast Track through security - must buy by the 20th of April and use by end of August - full details in the link Link here
  7. Alternative could be a taxi over the border to Koper and its a direct line from there to Ljubljana - we did this in reverse coming home from the game in Koper I think the taxi was about €20 and took 20 minutes and the train was about 2 hours and cost under a tenner each - for cargo, there's a Lidl pretty much over the road from the train staion in Koper
  8. In what way? I know people who went on their buses from Zagreb to the Koper game and as far as I'm aware, all went to plan
  9. Depending on which service you choose, its got wifi and on-line media provisions - all for about ............well, maybe the price will be different by then cause its in euros
  10. About half the time of the train There's about a dozen of us in Klaipėda and are planning on one of the service buses on the Thursday
  11. Tesco are one of the biggest commercial land owners in the UK - they find its cheaper to buy the land and not use it, that to take the chance on a competitor building on it. I'm guessing there's likely to be a Tesco within a couple of miles, hence its still being empty?
  12. Many thanks to the resident Dundee experts, who all seem to be Arabs Couple of points they are out on, namely: Building on Dens Dens isn’t suitable for large scale development or so the stories go. The South Enclosure is on built up group with the story being the soil testing has been done but it’s not suitable to build any residential units on. Yes the rest would be and should be a large enough scale for Mr Bennett to recover his outlay. New Stadium Would be built by the owners or majority lead by them, with this sort of thing being their background, where they made their name and money in. Worth noting that the plan isn’t 100% about the match day use, as a bit like Tannadice, the current stadium use outside of match day is VERY limited. The owners have already purchased the ground and are currently reviewing different stadia around the UK, to understand what plans to submit, to achieve a 24/7 use, i.e. the structure hosting more than just 90 minutes of football. They’ve done similar things in and around Dundee with the building of community based activities being ran out of ‘Showcase the Street’, which currently includes the hosting of the youth academy etc. So its looking like a similar ‘deal’ to the current one, where one entity holds the lease and one is the football club – its got pluses and minuses IMO but does look a more likely way forward than remaining as current. A good example of this would probably be St Johnstone, as they can generate more income from non-football use of their stadia than match day only.

  16. Looking into the possibility of taking my wife to San Francisco for a 5 or 6 night break and probably over the New Year period, so .................... Any recommendations on hotels and/or best location to be looking for one In addition to Alcatraz, where else is worth a visit, without hiring a car Since it’s going to be over the festive season, any places worth looking at for drinks/meal etc. and/or worth it for the view? Thanks in advance for any suggestions offered
  17. Watershed is the man for that job, as well as previously, 4Wins did the buses the last 2 visits - both on a not for profit basis and donated the excess monies to charity
  18. Hi everyone We’ve been asked by a few people, if we were registered with the Kilt Walk as a recipient charity, as they wanted to raise funds on our behalf. Yes we are is the short answer; if you search for “Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal” on the website, you’ll find us and you’ll able to nominate us! Taking this further, there’s a few others (including some of the Steering group) have decided to pull their walking shoes/boots on once more and plans are afoot (excuse the pun!) for a group to partake in the Dundee Kilt Walk – we’ve created a Facebook group for people to post/share ideas and suggestions etc https://www.facebook.com/Tartan-Army-Sunshine-Appeal-Kiltwalk-Group-582301315292862/?fref=ts We appreciate not everyone is on Facebook, so we’d like to extend the invitation to those intrepid walkers on the TAMB, to join those walking the Dundee Kilt Walk (which is Sunday the 20th of August 2017) Here’s to a blister and chafe free event #EverywhereWeGo #TheOriginalSince2003

    venice

    Was there this summer with the family and would offer as follows: We stayed on the Lido, which in general was much cheaper than the main island, plus you've got the advantage of the beach to spend a few hours at! We stayed at Hotel Rigel which was just a few minutes walk from the jetty. Nice wee bars with some having views over to the main island or overlooking the canals of the Lido, with decent eating options there as well For getting around, we bought the travel ticket online - was quite expensive TBH but when you consider a single trip on the water ferry was €7.50 and you'd need at least a return, it did pay for itself! If you're getting the airport bus or the train in, don't worry as they are on opposite side of the canal from each other and no more than 400m apart, so both are well placed for reaching wherever you decide to stay. We made use of the travel ticket and one day went to the farthest away island, Burano and island hoped our way back to the main island - Burano is the one with the multi coloured houses and Murano is the one for the famous glass items The main island was pretty good to explore but goes without saying, don't eat or drink anywhere near the main tourist points - we found a few decent places in the middle part, but if you stay on the Lido, plan to get your evening meal there and you can get the night ferry as a later travel option as well hope that helps but feel free to PM if you want any specific information on the above?
  20. There was a post on Facebook, asking similar (hence me thinking its one and the same), with the guy himself posting to say he was recovering ok.
