Chuck Berry Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) 26 minutes ago, portobellojambo1 said: Very possibly. We will be going with a friend who works in the travel industry and he has been online since the draw looking at all travel options, I'll trust in his decisions/contacts to get it right. Jus as the draw was made return flights for Basel were £130, and 15 minutes ago they were up at around £260. For somewhere like Zurich it is a good time ro know someone travelling who works in the UK rail industry, where you can then fly to the likes of Berlin or Cologne and the UK rail employee could deal with European train travel. We did it that wa lyast rime we played in Prague, train to Glasgow, flighr to Berlin and thrn train from Berlin to Prague, with a free bar on it, all in the company of a Scotrail employee I've been traveling to Scotland games for over 20 years, and will be in Poland in September for the Ukraine game, so I'm aware of what can and can't be done. The good thing with that is there's rarely short notice games like you get in European Club competition, so you rarely have to swallow higher costs as a result unless you're heading to Kazakhstan or somewhere like that. At least the group stages will provide a bit more notice, and we'll have moved beyond the peak summer period.

Jambomuzz Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Reckon this tie really does matter to us. I know we are guaranteed group stages regardless but other than the slight boost in finances for europa league, we would be in with a small chance of achieving 3rd which I believe would parachute us into the knockout stages in the Conference league? Definitely worth getting the europa over the conference in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you want to be playing at the highest level possible & that's the EL for us. If we don't get through & end up in the Conference then there's still a good time to be had & plenty of prestige but it's got to be the Europa we want ideally.

Don't fancy booking a direct flight with some unheard of company. Not done it myself, but I noticed the overnight bus from BRUSSELS to ZURICH is really cheap with Flixbus.com - so there might be a potential cheapo flying RYANAIR Edinburgh to Brussels Charleroi on the Wednesday and back the Saturday, with overnight bus from Brussels to Zurich both ways on the Wednesday night/Thursday morning back the Friday night/Saturday morning. You'll need to get from Charleroi into Brussels. About an hour ago, the flights were just £49 return plus the usual RYANAIR add-ons, and the overnight bus was 79.98euros return (about £66). I'd prepare for a trip to remember with this kind of arrangement though - and take it in your stride if you miss connections and football matches!

Would imagine our coefficient is lower than others too, really dont think its just that objective. Personally I think its a hard enough game based on their performance last season, they have not had a great deal of European football to get a coefficient, as you say, its to be enjoyed in any case, in my opinion I dont see them being any easier than any other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
