Norway Away - 20th August 2008

[Paulie]

We're just doing Tue-Thurs so we're flying out on SAS on Tuesday and back home on Ryanair on Thursday.

[sylvo]

Yeah I really enjoyed that trip too. What flights are you on Sylvo. I am heading out the Monday and coming back the Thursday with Ryanair. Dublin to Oslo (sic).

I'm looking at going tuesday via Frankfurt Hann, coming back on the thursday evening form Torp. Will be making the most of this one can't do Montanegro and Georgia

You coming down to the Stadio via stazione in Newbridge in a couple of weeks time, for the Bohs v the mighty County pre season friendly game?.

[GavinZac]

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 get a few hours to kill at Torp - head into nearby Sandefjord and check out the new stadium there - the Komplett.no Arena.

One of the new breed of functional, well-designed stadiums springing up around the country nowadays

I'll do up a summary page as well in due course, but the game's in the Ullevaal I think; Valerenga are at home on the Sunday if anyone's still around then.

Aye - home to Strømsgodset on the Sunday evening at 6pm.
If anyone needs info on ticketing for that one - let me know

If anyone is also looking for cheap accomo - I stayed in this place back in 1998 - found to be very cheap and very good quality

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.

Flying in and out with Ryanair (Mon-Thurs). Any ideas when ticket app forms will be available?

I'd say it'll be some time in June.

Tickets are also normally sold on this site:

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?

Any ideas on 3 * hotels in central Oslo?

Just look back through this thread!

[stiofain]

Theres a train to Olso from Sandefjord station which is about 10 mins bus trip
from Torp. Takes about 1 hour 45min and costs around €25 return according
to Norways train website.

Ash, can you remember where you saw this price? I'm looking at a Norway train website (www.nsb.no) and the results i'm getting say it costs a lot more than that. Just wondering if i'm looking in the wrong place. Thanks.

[been there]

Aarhus was by far the best away trip last year the only thing got no sleep Wolfie had toothache

[NeilMcD]

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.
