Mantis Toboggan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Flying from Stanstead on the Monday evening until the Wednesday night. Got an apartment for the 4 of us to stay in. Flights cost us £60 and the apartment worked out as £30 each or something. Very decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ye can still fly matchday from Prestwick to Warsaw for £99 or if ye can get to Stansted £25 wi Ryan air. There are still cheap options out there for the return after the game e.g places like Krakow or poznan are only roughly 3 hour train journeys mate. It's more for the organised transfers, less to organise running about after the game getting transport back to the airport etc haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Go look on their website youll get home end ones no probs, maybe even get a ticket from the SSC on 0 points if you join, its a 60k seater stadium, we will get near 4/5k id imagine, it will go to 0 points I think. Is this definitely the case? I've been a member of the SSC for over 10 years and haven't missed a home game in that time. However, haven't been to an away game for ages. I'm therefore on 0 points. I just want to check the chances of getting a ticket from the SFA before I book flights and hotels. Can anyone advise? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I'd imagine we'll get around 3/4k tickets, which will probably go to those on 3-10 points initially. It all depends on the demand, but you might be lucky and get 1 on 0 points. I'm pretty sure it went to 0 points in March, but that was a friendly and we only around 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously cant guarantee nothing but the Germany ones even went down to one point and the demand for them has been crazy, I think with your SSC thing youll get one on 0 points.. if not then I imagine youll manage to get your hands on one through some other means, dont quote me on that but its likely, I managed to get a Germany one with 2 so im up to 3 now luckily. I got 2 nights in a hostel (The Moon hostel) which looks just great for £14pp a night, that included breakfast, 3 person room. http://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=the+moon+hostel+warsaw&safe=vss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had between 2-2500 there in March and it eventually went to 0 points I'm sure. For a qualifer, I expect we'll be allocated around 4,000. Could see it going to 1-2 points, as Dortmund did.

I'd hedge my bets and say it most definitely will, because demand will be nowhere near as high, i don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I wonder if there will be an added bit of spice to this game after the Celtic/Legia fiasco. I know it doesn't affect the game but there could be a hostile atmosphere especially as the game is in Warsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially, but i can't see it; the Polish people that i met in March were all decent and loved the Scottish. I'm pretty sure even they can distinguish Celtic as being a minority of c***s.

I don't think club matters come into things with fans of the Polish national side - that was the impression I got in March anyway. Like TurbineTon, the home fans I met were great and helped create a great atmosphere around the city and ground. I think I'll find more Polish supporters stopping asking for photos again rather than any hassle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 If youre being priced out of this trip by greedy airlines, consider my advice. Fly to Lodz Get the train from Lodz to Warsaw. Trains in Poland cost less than you can imagine, are reliable and run frequently. You dont even need to worry about trying the language; you can book such tickets on the day, or online in advance. Lodz is maybe an hour or so by train to Warsaw. Anyone need any more advice on Poland/travel, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bare this advice in mind when i no doubt get ridiculous quotes from airline companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sure what ye find funny, Most folk I reckon want to get to games by the cheapest means possible. Organised transfers and airport travel are they no both the same thing a bit on the expensive side then ? But I get yer point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est. 1893 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Flying to Krakow and getting the train on match day to Warsaw. About £160 return. Can you get other members to buy away end tickets for you if they aren't going? Or is it linked to passports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not supposed to and you can get randomly selected to pick up tickets in Warsaw which you would need to show your SSC card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Vaughn Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Booked two weeks ago for £90 return with Wizz from Doncaster/Sheffield to Warsaw (Chopin - the one in Warsaw!).

Flight leaves Sheffield about 6am on Monday so all day Monday drinking. Early return flight on Wed. We used Doncaster/Sheffield going out to the game in March. Nice, easy and cheap but the long drive down / back home with the early morning flights was a bugger. Still, think we were in our digs and out into the Old Town in Warsaw for lunchtime when we flew out on the Monday which was ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Vaughn Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think arriving early on the Monday is the best reason to go from Doncaster/Sheffield at this stage. I looked at lots of routes and this seemed the best fit despite the 241mile journey from my house to the airport. Managed to get an central apartment for the 6 of Us for £40 a skull too.
