  1. It’s not something that particularly bothers me but if it’s implemented then there could be certain things in place for clubs who are affected:

    1. One years grace period to put a grass pitch in. It’s unfair to expect teams who may only have known they’re going up at the end of May to have the finances available to rip up the astro and bed in grass in the space of six weeks before the league cup groups are to be played. 

    2. Grants available for clubs affected, not only to replace the surface but also to install a new Astro in their local area to ensure that the hundreds of people who use their pitch each week have a place to continue to participate.

    There's no reason why members couldn't be updated as quickly by email as social media, it would require them to regularly check if they had any new ones though. Letters would be a stretch.

    Getting an email every three hours telling me how many tickets are left for a game that I’m not going to would be a pain in the arse.

    Any decent ticket system should have the ability to clearly show how many tickets are available. Aside from that, twitter is fine. Is it really that much of an issue to set up a blank account and turn on notifications for SSC?

    Thought I was smart booking a flight to Amsterdam but now struggling to find a train to Bonn on 17th June. 

     

    Anyone got any advice of alternative ways of getting to Bonn from Amsterdam? Tried via Utrecht but can get to Utrecht but Utrecht to Bonn is sold out. 

     

    Just to add flight doesn't get to Amsterdam till 1725

     

     

    Flixbus goes direct from Amsterdam to Cologne/Bonn airport.

    At this stage rebuilding the stadium more cheaply, on a somewhat reduced scale and a less compressed timetable, looks far more sensible - and reassign the Euro games to say Murrayfield or Sunderland.

    I’d say it’s much more likely that they’d award Belfast’s games to existing host stadiums unfortunately. Any other stadiums would need adaptations made to meet UEFA specifications and are unlikely to be sitting empty ready to go for the period required.

    Revolut is the best card I've used while overseas, although too good at indicating the time of your drink purchases!! I relied on it for all my trips to Aberdeen and Scotland last year.

    In Frankfurt, I noticed several places that only accepted cards when I travelled with the Dons. Berlin was the same the previous year. 

    Good to know. I’ve read that quite a lot of places are still cash only as well which is really helpful.

  6. How do we think the squad will look? It seems like McGregor, Hickey and Brown won’t make it. 

    GK: Gunn, Clark, Gordon

    DF: Patterson, Ralston, Hendry, Souttar, Porteous, Hanley, McKenna, Tierney, Robertson, Doig 

    MF: Gilmour, Ferguson, McGinn, McTominay, Christie, McLean, Armstrong

    FW: Adams, Dykes, Shankland

    I think the above are all stick ons or have a very good chance. That makes 23, I think we have space to add another centre mid and forward although I can’t see obvious options. 

    Went for Gordon due to Kelly’s form. Ralston usually steps in if a RB is out. Ryan Jack may come in although he’s barely featured for his club.

    Doesn't even take the pens for Bologna, don't think there's any reason he'd be no 1 taker for Scotland 

    He’s scored 15/16 in his career so far (1 saved by Craig Gordon).

    Back in starting line up today v Sevilla.  

    Already 2-0 down (after 18 mins)

    Live on Viaplay

    I see he played 84 minutes which is pretty good by his standards.

  9. Not strictly travel related but interested to know what people are doing for spending money. I have a credit card with zero fees abroad that I usually use but would rather set what I have beforehand than run up a huge bill to pay off.

    Tempted to get a monzo account or similar, although I’ve heard a lot of Germany still prefers cash.

    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere - but does anyone know what the craic is re the general sale? Will all 5 matches be available at one go? 
     

    I believe the match package is not an option in the general sale.

    All games will be available from the start.

    A match package wouldn’t work after the individual sale for members as it would only take someone to buy a seat for one game to make it unavailable for sale as a package. 

  11. Livingston is the only one in the Premiership that I’ve been to and not seen us win. Have witnessed a 2-1 defeat under Glass, the VAR penalty roulette game under Goodwin and a 0-0 season opener under Robson. I’m counting Celtic Park as I’ve seen us win the League Cup there. Never been to Dingwall.

    In the lower leagues, I’m 0/1 at Starks Park. Come to think of it, Tannadice would’ve been on the list until March last year.

    Yeah we heard all that about folk not paying Cat A prices for the group games. They still ultimately sold out about as soon as they could. If Scotland make the last 16 folk will beg, borrow and steal to be there. Its unique. You've the rest of your life to repay it. 

    It’s a different set of circumstances though, annual leave, childcare, sorting out tickets, travel and accommodation at short notice and high cost. I reckon it would drop to single figure points.

    The additional challenge for individuals with lower points arises if we advance beyond the group stages in Germany, as there will only be 6,000 tickets available, compared to the 10,000 originally allocated for the group stages.

    I reckon there’ll be lower demand if we get through. Not many will be able to justify more than one or two weeks away.
