Just talked to a fiend of mine who went on the 1-day trip. Stuck in Norway, apparently fog in faroes, so no aircraft can land. They'll know at 2pm whether its a no-go or not. Hate that..
there are 2 flights stuck in Dublin....
And one of those flights are waiting for the plane that is deverted to Norway to come back for them!! If it doesn't happen quickly they will miss the match altogether thats if it is going ahead
there is talk about cancelling the Game
announcement at 12!! Could be just rumers

Would be astonished if they cancelled the game..
Well heard from someone in the Faroes that the can't see a foot in front of them!!Originally Posted by PaulB
That was a good while ago so may have cleared up since if it hasn't a match can't really be played in the conditions can it??
The lads stuck in Dublin airport are very pi$$ed off.. not being told anything.. the plane in Norway has to get to the Faroes and back to Dublin soon or they won't make it
Lads, this is a feckin joke.
We are all suck in Dublin.
Serviceair are telling us what some fan told them that his mate sent in a text from Norway. Thats the "official" information we are getting.
eTravel, who are they? No one here by that name!
We heard that the game might be in doubt but the fog seems to be lifting.
We have been on to the various media groups to tell them what a farce this is.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Is raining there now and fog is starting to lift..
Reports from the FAI say that if they can't play today they will try and play tommorrow!! But if the Fog is lifting the match will prob go ahead
Are the flights from Dublin via Oslo or direct to Faroes?
"Inflatable hammers and Leprechaun suits, & a chorus of "Here we go" or Olé, Olé"....
They are direct, just had to divert because couldn't land in Faroes
Cheers...just looking on Aertel for departures from Dublin. No mention of delays but no mention of flights to faroes either even though they're probably chartered..?? Am I missing something
Aertel is usually on the ball with flights at Dublin airport...

Says that neither of the flites this mornign have left yet.
Texted a mate over there earlier (she flew yesterday) and it was very dense fog at that time
I assume I'm not the only superstitious one amongst the ranks. I think this is a good omen.
Same thing happened on way to Malta in 1987 [edit: sorry - 1989] I think.
Ireland to win 2-0 so.

Cheers for that.....didn't realise the flights were earlier this morning. Aertel is from 11am at this stage. Much better website for times....ta
"Inflatable hammers and Leprechaun suits, & a chorus of "Here we go" or Olé, Olé"....
Not at all...I'll cling to any theory that bodes well & gets us a solid 3pts at this stage to start the run of 4 straight wins of course

Talking to another mate in Dublin airport since 6am.
There's supposed to be announcement to them at noon altho the travle agent he went with said they could leave anytime before 4pm and be there in time for the match.
Glad i didnt go now
Some of the web-cams out there seem to show a fairly foggy and wet looking Thorshavn.

Forecast (BBC World) is for sunny intervals today so hopefully fog will lift over the next few hrs.....
I'd be goin' demented if I was waitin in the airport now not knowin what's goin' to happen.....back to duty free for more booze, I reckon

Just been on today fm news that its unlikely that any of the flites will get to Faroes today.
Also said airport could be closed for next couple of days so fans already there could be stranded til the w/e
Bet you're disappointed you didn't go now.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
There seems to be fack all to do do over there though
