[MariborKev]

Lads,

You do not want to get the Faroes.

[Boo_Boy]

Faroes > Kazakhtan.

Lads,

You do not want to get the Faroes.

I'm sure they'd prefer it over feckng Kazakhstan

[MariborKev]

Aye, but if defo the second worst option.

[sligoman]

Trying to find info on ferry from Scotland to Faroes...it's fecking impossible. Some crowd used to run one but it's cancelled. Norrøna apparently run one from Scrabster in Scotland...can't find a website though.

You can fly from Stansted (or is it Gatwick?). Don't know how many spaces there'd be at short notice though.

[Jeebus]

The Albanian team are based in Shkoder in Albania. Its looks close enough to Podgorica in Montenegro. Isnt that where Ireland played last year. Aer Lingus fly to Dubrovnik in Croatia which is only 60 odd miles from Podgorica. So that mightnt be the worst of draws.

[SligoBrewer]

[Dodge]

yeah, they dropped the last name from all the teams

[red bellied]

[forza rovers]

Albania here we come

[thesilverfox]

albania

[red bellied]

Got the Albanian side. At least we got the home leg first, they mighnt bother turning up.

[sligofan4ever]

Thankfully its not Khazakstan for all travelling to the second leg.

[SligoBrewer]

At least its not kazakstan

[sligoman]

At least we got the home leg first.Clubs can change dates today if they both agree so wouldn't book anything til this is officially confirmed.

[red bellied]

Not a hope will they switch legs. First leg will be in the Showgrounds.

[Red&White Rover]

****.

That's me priced out:(

[Rovers Maniac]

Totally agree with RB, first leg will be in the showgrounds for certain its what the club wanted. You would imagine we should have a decent chance with them being in their off season, although they beat some side from Slovenia in the 1st round last year. Important that we have Peers, Holmes and Parkhouse all back for it.

[LondonRover]

Maccabi Natanya (Israel) in the 2Q if we get through... :mad:

[SligoBrewer]

Where are you getting this outta?

[Dodge]

Does anyone have links to flights to an Albanian Airport? This team are situated right on the border with Montenegro. Could check about getting flights to there and then traveling down to the match? Any links would be appreciated.

Only one airport in Albania and its in the capital Tirania. Doubt there are flights from Ireland to it. Other routes have been posted on the main section.

Podrogica in montenegro is near enough to it apparently. You might want to check that spelling too. best I could guess.

Guy in work reckons its about 120kms away

jesus he is way off there. its only approx 30 miles. http://www.mapcrow.info/Distance_between_Shkoder_AL_and_Podgorica_YI.html

[Boo_Boy]

Well there is like a highway or train line direct from Tirana to Shkoder, only 54 miles.

Wouldn't have to cross a border either, still looking for cheaper flights.

[rovers100%]

have we def been drawn to play these albanians lads

That was a typo I meant to type 20 (and yeah I know that was wrong too but its still close enough...)

[Boo_Boy]

Yes...

[Rovers1]

Looks like it.

Could be worse, and a bit of an adventure.

[pineapple stu]

Fly to Podgorica via Vienna with Austrian Airlines. If there's enough of you, charter a bus to Shkoder. Just watch out for the massive lake.

Edit - sorry, Aer Lingus to Vienna, Austrian Airlines to Podgorica. Alternatively, Malev are great for Eastern European connections.

[rovers100%]

i can find flights at 470 per person anyone got any cheaper

[Rovers1]

Just watch out for the massive lake.

Rory;)

How do you know all this stu?

Lake??

[pineapple stu]

I was in Montenegro last year - Ireland game and all that. ;)

Lake. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Shkod%C3%ABr) Can't miss it!

[The Midget Gem]

271euro to Dubrovnic in Croatia. Bus journey of about 3-4hrs then.
