Just to point out that Cork City will most likely be playing in Scandinavia in the UEFA cup this year. The last time City beat a team from a country Ireland were playing, we beat Apollon before Ireland promptly went and lost to the Cypriots.
Moral of the story? Same craic and experience, a month earlier and with a hope of winning :)
If you lot draw Lillestrøm please give em a good hammeringQuote:

http://www.ankerhostel.no/default.asp?id=1101&lang=44
It's right next to the city centre and a short distance from Grunnerlokka - the student area with a load of cracking small bars
Prices per person per night - weekdays/weekends:
Single room NOK 525/545
Double roomNOK 525/545
Bed in 4-bedded dorm NOK 225/235
Bed in 5- or 6-bedded dorm NOK 200/210
So if you've got a group of yer - it's cheap as anything - leaving more cash for pints of Hansa
Would you believe I have to head to Clare that weekend as my brother is in a musical and he has tickets booked etc for me. I will then shove him back into the closet or the cuppard as they call it in Clare.Quote:

I don't know if this effects anybody else but the SAS flight to Oslo on the Tuesday has been changed. Apparently they have changed their Summer schedule so they have put us on to a flight that goes via Copenhagen. It's only means about 70 minutes in Copenhagen and we still arrive in to Oslo in the afternoon so it's not too bad. The main thing is having a direct flight home, which we still have. I'll do all the planes, trains and automobiles going out on a trip but coming home, when tired and hungover, I want the most direct route home that is possible.
Any ideas on 3 * hotels in central Oslo?
Just look back through this thread!Quote:

Yeah I must say I enjoyed it too. Not bad when you win 4-0 although I do have some vague memory of some local Danish girl at the bar. Not sure if she was a 4-0 win or a 3-0 defeat.

Was anybody else due to be flying on the Ryanair flight from Oslo back to Dublin on the Thursday? The flight is now changed to Friday instead. I'm not bothered at all, in fact I'm kind of glad as I was planning on taking the week off anyway, but it may disrupt some people's plans in terms of work etc.
Just seen the email now. Screws up my annual leave from work so dunno
if I'll be able to go now :mad:
i got a full refund from Ryanair. i re-booked out to Stanstead Tuesday night, then to Oslo Wed am. Back via Stanstead on Thursday. Still only 80 euro incl taxes and charges.Quote:

If anyone from the London area wants to grab a cheap flight - Ryanair are doing one from Stansted to Torp/Sandefjord - out on the day before and back on the day after for £20 return
No harm in applying and letting the ticket office know you are going however there will be no problem with tickets for this game.Quote:

got a subsequent email to say they would refund my credit card in 5-7 days. Should be on it by now but can't check online.Quote:

Yep, same here.Quote:

Dont think so Joe. I'm going to Norway but that wont effect my chances of getting tickets for the qualifiers either.Quote:

Still waiting ... I rang them a week or so ago and they said that the refund application was submitted and recieved but was waiting to be processed
I'm driving up. Not going to bother getting tickets until I reach the ground. Presuming there won't be a massive demand for them.
Translation...Ryanair are currently using money from the "Free Bank of Ash" to make more money for themselves.....thank you.Quote:

On the subject of not getting absolutely rasped for our few days drinking is there point in arranging a venue/area to meet up? If so Gonland seems to be the cheapest for beer and also has the most life during the week - Olympen, Stargate, and Choice are 3 cheapish pubs there....
See: http://use-it.unginfo.oslo.no/sider/nightlife.php
Gronland is near the train station - see 'gron' to the right of this map:
http://www.oslo2000.uio.no/english/map3.htm
or we could go here: http://www.sir-winston.no/ ??????
Refund money arrived in my account this morning. Calls got me nowhere. I sent them a fax and that got the job done.
I know this sound a bit sad. But heading over to this on my own and would not mind saving money on hotel etc. Single rooms can be expensive and lonely. (only messing about the last bit).
In addition the following pub could be a good place to gather early n during the day. €4.70 for a pint during the day is not bad.
Bohemen (D)
Arbeidergata 2
Beer: 38 and 46 after 18.00
Age: 20
This is the place to be if you want to meet real Norwegian football supporters. This is the official Vålerenga supporter pub, but they show a lot of different matches each day. Vålerenga is one of the local teams from Oslo. 8 TV-screens makes it possible to show 5 games at the same time. Or you can just play darts instead.
Another "cheap" place
Blue Monk
St. Olavs gate 23
Beer: NOK 39
Blue Monk is not a place you want to bring your in-laws, but if you are on the look out for beers and a pool table, Blue Monk will suit your needs just fine. Every now and then not so known local bands play there, sometimes they suck, sometimes they don’t. Blue Monk is right around the corner from independent youth house Blitz, and this shows, when it comes to Blue Monk regulars.
Finally my sort of place
and its €3.60 a pint.
Choice
Grønland 3
Beer: NOK 29
Choice is a skanky pub and as far away from high society as you possibly can travel. Nevertheless Choice is quite popular. In the morning you find older alcoholics here, but in the evening Choice attracts a younger, healthier crowd. All in all it is a great place to start your evening.
