rik2304 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Got another game to win first I'm afraid. It's not a certainty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Child Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Thinking of going but I'm not even home from Armenia yet. I'll need to catch up on some sleep I've not slept since Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) I'm hoping to go if we're through, someone did post a visa was needed but I went to gov UK site and saw new rules.

McCarry One Nil Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Nobodys saying it's a certainty - just saying this is the official line and no what had previously been said on here Dave - hope to make it - need to go from London I reckon - about £450 with a stop somewhere last time I looked - found accommodation for £25 for 4 nights hahaha - thought maybe about going large and looking for £ 100 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 That's a decent flight price I was looking and was struggling for under £600 from here via London/ Frankfurt/ Amsterdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) I'm looking to go. Great news the visa situation has been extended as 'no visa', as last week it was uncertain if their would be an extension after the end of the last 12 months. Loads of hotels to choose so will look forward to a fans base.. city looks great! It's far from the perception that is painted!

St Mikey Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'd like to go but what date is the away leg, the following week the 16th? As folk have said, we have to win on Thursday. They are not a mug team Alashkert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baiggers Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I'm pretty keen to go but will probably depend on whether I can persuade others. Don't think anybody is being disrespectful and assuming that we will win. It's just that there won't be much time to get organised so people will need have looked at routes, enquired about holidays at work etc beforehand in some cases. BA direct from Heathrow to Almaty (Tuesday to Friday) is pricey but Avios points may make it a realistic option. Anybody looking for mega cheap option - Paris to Almaty via Kiev Tue to Fri was £251 last time I checked. Involves an overnight stay in Kiev on the Tuesday night and gets in at 4am on matchday. Away at 5am on the Friday morning. Flights from Edinburgh to Paris £273 return and probably too tight for time between flights but may be of interest to those down south Edited July 5, 2015 by Baiggers MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 They've just signed Tymoshuk. Old but something like 140 Ukraine caps and former Bayern Munich player.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristo Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 They're currently cruising 2-0 away from home, albeit against the bottom team in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSeany Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) They've just signed Tymoshuk. Old but something like 140 Ukraine caps and former Bayern Munich player.... Can't play though.

Zamora Fan Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Can't play though. Meant to be signing another Ukrainian legend too. Kershakov - spelt wrong! Aleksander Kerzhakov? Ex zenit striker who played for Russia in the last World Cup I think. I remember him missing a bunch of sitters in the Euro 2012 group stages. Good player otherwise though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noose76 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 no visa requirement for British passport holders was due to expire on 15th July 2015, so it's seemingly been extended. McCarry One Nil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crieffsaintandy Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 probably just wait till the round after the Kazaks, might get one closer to home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
