It will be interesting to see if FAI apply rigidly to their own rules that Block Bookers will get priority.

Blockbookers (in theory anyway) always get priority over non blockbookers for away games.

True, but I doubt very much whether all of the block bookers will take up their allocation, so there should be spares going round. Come on, no one panic till we need to ;)

It is the theory bit I wonder about. No doubt Ray Treacy has organised the team plane and his own trippers willfill up the empty seats. I doubt if all of them are Block Bookers but they will all have match tickets from FAI.

His website is still showing him as 'Specialists in Irish Soccer' with an (old) FAI logo.

Hmmm as someone who is resident abroad and not a block booker, getting home tickets from club contacts at home, I feel I would be bottom of the food chain

but I am not so worried, there should be a good vantage point from that hill :D

Going by the weather reports for the Faroes, it sounds like any extra layer's going to be welcome - put us down for a t-shirt as well there Maribor!

That could turn out to be one of the best places to be.
Imagine 100 or more people sitting on the hill, the TV cameras would be all over them. Huge Tri colour flags draped across the landscape. :)

Big time. the idea of four days away, no work, happy days. Followed by a music festival the day after I get back. i think we are meant to hear about tickets this week, so fingers crossed

Its not going to be cheap, but like you said, its a one off. bring on the puffin :D

Just got this e-mail regarding the Faroese nights...

Sorry for this late reply.

The Faroese nights start on the 21 of June. But I will ask the organizers if
they can arrange a night for you on the 7th June.

I will contact you again as soon as I've know something.

Sincerely
Kunningarstovan

So nothing certain yet with regards that. How many people are interested? The deciding factor could be how many people we'd have for it.

Im up for it, and Pat O is meant to be looking after me, so he will be there too. Cheers for getting more info on the faroese night, much appreciated.

Also, count me in for a T-shirt thanks :)

New thread on that alone here - sign up, anyone who's interested! We need at least a group of 20, but I'm sure we can manage more than that!

Thanks, are there any regular buses going from airport to torshavn?
12/04/2005, 7:46 PM
pineapple stu

Yep - it's the 300 bus. Check out the Faroese public transport website - very informative.
12/04/2005, 8:35 PM
Babysis

Maybe Im totally wrong, but im pretty sure I read on one of the sites that the Bus from the airport is about �10 sterling and you can just get it from the airport. Not that it matters, as im wanting to take the Helicopter to Torshavn ;)

Right Lopez, its agreed, me and you and anyone else, for the helicopter ride :D

It will be great. If its a case of 50 things to do before you die, lets just make sure this helicopter ride is number 49 :D

That's fine by me, because number 50 is to have sex with another man. :eek: :eek:

I was struggling at around 45, added a few things there's not a faint hope of acheiving - eg. Run a Marathon :D :D :D - so I thought: 'Don't knock what you've never tried.' :o

given the amount of drinking planned for this trip (by me at least :o ) I think the bus is gonna be the safest and easiest option :)
