Mazziessc Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Anyone actually took the plunge and booked? TBH I got fed up waiting and with other commitments had to make sure I got sorted. Myself and a few others sorted we booked Glasgow 8th October 6am - Moscow via Amsterdam with KLM arrive 2pm. Leave Fri 11th at 5pm same route back in Glasgow for 10pm Paid bout 240. There's a few internal cheap flights to other Russian cities available to suit if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet , can't believe they've not announced it yet . Might book mon to sat if its some place outside Moscow . Don't fancy booking Moscow then finding out it's in St Petersburg . Interesting wikipedia has Belgium down as playing in Moscow but no venue for us yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The date has to be announced by June 12th, so not long to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it being anywhere bar Moscow or St Petersburg with them having to go to Cyprus 3 days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've dragged Kazakhstan halfway across Europe to Kaliningrad and San Marino / Cyprus to far flung places too , they seem to be wanting to use those WC grounds , but SP/Moscow you'd think would make sense given the large travelling support we'll take . Hopefully announce it before we go to Belgium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartanmartin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It won't be much more than what went to Kazakhstan. Factor in the day trip to Edinburgh to get your £100 travel visa and the flight availability/cost to Russia then it's difficult to see anything above 1000. Mind you, if we win every match between then and now................................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmondo Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It's a complete nonsense. They clearly know where it's going to be but wait until the 120 days before to announce it. Why can't they just announce it, surely doesn't take 6 months to decide and confirm a venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanmartin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 be aware that the 120 day "rule" is more of a gentleman's agreement and not an enforceable or punishable competition rule as such. this means it could drag on far longer. i'd half expect them to take us to an artificial surface stadium as that'll mean a few of our players will cry off.

The Kazakhstan game was announced with a week to go to the 120 day rule ,hopefully ours will be the same . It's in the UEFA regulations so it's as much a rule as any other one . Whether they'd get any kind of punishment if they didn't adhere to it , who knows Edited May 31, 2019 by tattiescone69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Wing Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Booked months ago, taking a gamble flying to Moscow, although if the venue is announced as elsewhere, it's easier transferring in Moscow I would have thought. Tues 8/10 Edinburgh - Gatwick Gatwick - Riga Riga - Moscow Returning the same route 12/10, not too shabby for £167 return!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looked at as more of a gentleman's agreement but most countries have met the requirement. Hopefully Russia do too, as they have done for previous fixtures to date in this campaign.

tartanmartin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I know. I have a copy of them. I'm just saying that if you speak to any of the administrators they're likely to say that any punishment for failing to adhere to 120 days is unlikely. Also, remember it's 120 days to notify UEFA, not necessarily the opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm heading over via the same route as you but Wed 9/10 to Fri 11/10 and l paid £250 for the privilege but l only booked it last week. Can't wait, l've been to Moscow before hence the shorter trip. Does your Riga flight get in to Moscow at 1am like mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrive into Moscow about 1am on the early hours of Wednesday morning - flying from Riga with Aeroflot I believe. There's 5 of us booked on these flights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of nightmare that but it is what it is. What's your plan for getting into Moscow (assuming your staying there) from the airport? If you don't mind me asking of course. I asked the hostel I'm staying at about airport transfer and they were wanting to charge me 3500 rubles (£48) for one way! According to the airport website you can get a taxi to the city centre for around 1000 rubles (£12) which is much more reasonable. I think there might be a night bus also so I may check that out first. Edited July 3, 2019 by Will-i-am77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some hideous prices for transfers, contacted my hotel and they said 1000 rubles in a taxi from the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
