Game under Burley they gave us 2,300 and it went to 3 points, and I have something in the back of my mind that they may have even gave us more very last minute, and that game was considered winner takes all for who finished 2nd behind the Dutch. Also sure last two times Norway have been in Glasgow (Berties last home game, and the Burley match) they have brought an absolute massive support (remember the Counting House was packed with Norwegians buying bottles of Champaign!) Amazing what the thought of cheap drink can do. Gave us extra tickets for a winner takes all home game(presumably because they couldn'f sell them).😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't pockets of them in the home end or anything, but i'm sure the support that were here all made good use of the cheap drink in Glasgow compared to Norway so i'm sure the pubs were popular with virtually all of them that made the trip. 😊 Was meaning more that it was a team that you did not expect to bring such a large support, yet city centre was heaving that day.

Yes. They had the usual away allocation but i suppose there have been plenty of so called bigger teams who don't sell their allocation. Will be interested in how many Spain will bring. They don't have a history of big nunbers travelling. Even in their league football some of the away fans that you see at games is pretty poor,and that includes Real Madrid and Barcelona. Amyway i'm sure the Norway support back then would have had a few nights in Glasgow cheaper than at home even including the travel costs. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Just noticed that my loyalty points has dropped by 2.Anybody else looked at theirs recently.(only happened today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Take it one of the away games has dropped off the points list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Same for me today @thesaint. I'd checked just a few days ago and had 2 more. Can't be due to a game dropping off as that was already accounted for. They updated the addition of Turkey at the expense of San Marino on their 21-Nov-2022 tables. Looks more like the 2 points for renewing memberships are missing. Perhaps a work in progress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themikedoug Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I believe the reason is that you are due 2 points at the end of Jan for renewing by 31/01 and for 3 consecutive renewals before this one. I imagine those 2 points will be added back on in Feb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich NATA Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I know there are TAMBers who have had problems with Kiwi.com Just wondering if anyone has had any experience booking with Trip.com? Looking at a trip, which involves 2 low-cost airlines on the return leg. I could book with the two airlines directly, but if the first flight is significantly delayed the second flight will be f*cked and I'll be stuck in a transit country. I presume the 1st airline will just say they got me to my destination (albeit late) and the 2nd airline will say not our fault you missed our flight. I presume booking with someone like Trip.com might give me slightly more support if the connection falls through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great if your flight goes ahead, but slightest hitch and say goodbye to your money (Trip.com binned a flight as part of a two flight route on me 2 years ago, and took about 18 months to get the money back, as they argued that it was not a through booking and my first flight was still valid) Edited January 26, 2023 by wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 So is Kiwi.com one to avoid as well or is it Trip.com to avoid ? Or both ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton wanderer Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I had a very good experience of Kiwi. 6 of us booked through Kiwi for Albania as it was 2 different carriers Easyjet from Edinburgh to Milan then Albanian Wings from Milan to Tirana. Easyjet flight was delayed about 3 hours and we missed the connection (along with 100 or so other Scotland supporters). Kiwi arranged hotels near Milan airport and rebooked us on flights early the next morning (all free of charge) in plenty time for the game. If I had booked these flights separately we would have been snookered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are connected. I suspect Flyr is Norwegian for flyer. Then there's FlyBE. I believe the BE stands for British-European.

I booked OSLO-MANCHESTER with them a couple of days ago. It was under £100 (and that included me paying extra for some luggage). Can then get the train up the road from Manchester Airport Station.

hamilton wanderer Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Wonky Sheep just announced that they are doing a flight only from Glasgow to Oslo for 2 nights. Anyone who doesn’t have flights this looks like really good option https://wonkysheep.co.uk/scotland/ I went to Moldova with them and thought it was great. I’m lucky enough to have got Norwegian airlines flights at a decent price before it went skyrocket but some of my pals are going to book this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Heard they are pretty good,but pretty expensive as well.£400 and that's for flight only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
