ALBIONSAINT Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Could be a risky trip, team named after a saint from a town called Paisley, we just can’t win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Fantastic that we have developed links with both these clubs. Hope we continue to grow closer and develop the ties further. [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie in Spain with her mates. Shit I could have went. ☹️ No luck mate but I'm sure you'll have a ball. After the playoffs and the almost immediate fixtures in the Betfred Cup I went in a huff over the lack of a summer break. I vowed I wouldn't be going to any games till the start of the season proper. However within 10 mins of the Ireland tour being announced the gang was mustered the ferries and hotels were booked and we were on our way. Fecking couldn't help ourselves. As we just found out life's too short mate. I'll no doubt end up at most of the Betfred games too but the plan is to give them a miss UNLESS we have exciting signings we HAVE to see. Make the most of the lakes. See you at the Betfred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gosport Buddie Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Think Flybe are treating this like a cup final and increased their fares as soon as this fixture was announced. Twice as much to fly from Southampton to Belfast as it is to fly to Glasgow!!!!! Over £300!!!! I'd love to go but can't justify spending that much just to get there, so I'll use the money to get to two home games instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a wee bit of a rush back to the airport after the game right enough!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Driving up on the Saturday morning for the Coleraine game. Can't be arsed with the training match on Friday night. Do we actually have enough players to field a team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ferry prices to Belfast from Scotland are terrible too. I'd love to see a road bridge across that sea before I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a road bridge across that sea before I die. The cheapest flights I could find were from Edinburgh £96 each. That's departing Friday and leaving Sunday. If you book the ferry via a bus company it's cheaper than booking the ferry direct. it works out about £65 return from Glasgow to Belfast and you can have a wee lager shandy on the boat. There are possibly cheaper fares if you are more flexible with your times. There's not much available hotel accommodation around Coleraine but Airbnb have a few locations. I vowed the close season was too short and I wasn't getting involved in the Pre-season or Bet-fred pish but I'm now looking forward to this little jaunt. Hopefully we'll have signed someone new to watch by the time we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a road bridge across that sea before I die. it would be a bridge that explored the outer parameters of what is conceivably possible and way beyond the parameters that any existing bridge has been built to But nice to see you are in the same camp as the science-denying DUP.

The bit Ken is referring to is Beaufort Dyke halfway across the north channel . Tons of ordnance was dumped there after the war. Don’t think anyone knows exactly what is down there !

Apart from the train spotting fetish I believe they must also wear cerise coloured shirts. (our away kit will do) and wash the dishes.

NB18 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Quite a few fans going to be out of pocket if this is the case. Several fans have already paid for travel & hotels, Josh Magennis has paid nearly £1700 for a bus load of fans to go over to Coleraine.Oran's rumoured appointment as Coleraine boss will apparently be confirmed in the next few days so I reckon the board won't want any issues between our supporters and Coleraine fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lot of things to be made clear but this will build the anger from sections of the support who, already, see the way things are being run as unacceptable.
