I've already booked flights out and have chucked a tenner on Linfield progressing at 8/1. That way I haven't dropped anything on the gamble we're off to Zurich.

Victor Meldrew Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 There's a suggestion that the game might be in St Gallen - if so Munich isn't a terrible option for flights. Then 3 1/2 on the train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartsmad1874 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Really selfishly hope they switch the legs but prices are just rising, rising and rising and don't want to commit to paying a heavy fee if it has a chance of being changed.

Very unlikely to change legs as Zurich will have priority being in a bigger competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussed this on the other thread, not sure which takes priority coefficient or competition. If it comes to and it is away first i'll just have to pay the going rate at the time.

graygo Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Beautiful part of the world. Pity Ryanair stopped the Edinburgh to Memmingen route as it's an easy rail journey to Friedrichshafen then ferry across Lake Konstanz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMJ_1874 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Anyone in the travel industry know the best routes and transportation for this? Think of flying to Zurich and hiring a car.

The club usually charters a flight for officials and players and helps pay for it by selling the rest of the seats as travel/hotel packages to supporters. I travelled to Mallorca that way.

Doubt they’ll be running a football special just for us. Buses will only hold 30-40 people max and we don’t know if they’ll be plentiful or will be finished drubbing by them. Taxis also doubtful and will be expensive if it’s 45 miles away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number-16 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Looks like the match is being moved to accommodate a Gölä and Trauffer concert. The capacity at St Gallen looks to be around 9,000 less than in Zurich too so hopefully it doesn't impact on our allocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
