theabsentee Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I landed last night & wondered if anyone is coming & wants to meet for a beer or 3?😉 Looks like you can buy tickets online but I've just sourced a local ticket shop so I'm heading to buy there.

Last time i saw as many of them as this i was in the away end supporting Gretna in the FA Cup & Singing oh Wanky Wanky, Wanky wanky wanderers with the help of some Wigan fans 😂 Gretna where giving them a good game until John McGinley came off the bench & scored twice..

I thought the same, one of them 60th birthday bash, mix of old & young. That's maybe the negative side of the budget airline industry, its a long time since you could only fly to the likes of Prague, Budapest & Krakow for next to nowt. Almost everywhere in Central/ East Europe has had the pleasure of a drunken squad of brits now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met them in the Kozel pub, that's a good quality Czech beer that seems pretty popular here for a £1 a pint Local stuff seems about 80p though I've not had a lot as pacing myself before the big kick off😊🏴 Bolton lads where having vodka chasers with their pints, that combo will kill you so i politely turned down their invitation to join.

Was a bit sleepy last night & got my exchange rates mixed up. More like a quid a local pint & £1.50 for imported stuff. Still not a bank breaker 👍 Anyone any idea how many roughly are coming? Not many people here seem aware of it, there's not a huge amount of bars either so i will warn a few tonight that they need to be prepared staff wise.

theabsentee Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Maybe need a match thread for this comment but i find it slightly strange we have chosen to train in Spain prior to matches in potentially near freezing Moldova & probably wet & cold Glasgow. I'm no sports scientist but obviously someone at the sfa feels acclimatising before a game isnt important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people seem to think that there will be 1000-1200 travelling.Certainly 2 charter flights plus plenty of guys making roundabout journeys to get there.

Plus it seems particularly weird flying from Glasgow to Spain during COP26. SFA setting a fine example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 We are arriving very late Thursday on the Wizz Air flight from Luton. Will ditch bags and head out for a few late beers. Up early the next day for the Davy Bus tour to Transnistria. Back in time for some beers, the game, three points and more celebratory beers.

I don’t think you really need to acclimatise to play in cold and wet weather, especially if you are playing in Britain for your club. Going to a cold country before playing in a hot one probably wouldn’t be the best of ideas but I don’t really see an issue the other way round.
