I was tipped off about the Friday - Sunday Faroes trip fae Aberdeen run by a company in the Faroes, and in turn I tipped off a few others.
Who else booked this trip and has anyone had their credit cards debited yet and received their tickets? I gave the guy my credit card details about a fortnight ago but nothing has been debited yet?
Trying not to get worried

Cheers Dave, ReekysBurd rang them yesterday but they didn't say that the tickets would be posted today, obviously things have moved on a bit since then!
What they did say yesterday is that there are 30 on the trip and that for the first night in the Hotel Vagar they have been trying to organise some evening entertainment for us (no idea what yet though!), as long as they have cheap beer I'll be happy. The hotel we're going to on the Saturday (Hoterl Foroyar) is the team hotel and thats why we can't check in until after the game as I suppose the team will be going straight to the airport to fly out. I hope none of them leave their smelly socks under their beds

I take it, this is the 9.20 am flight on the Friday out of aberdeen that you are all on.
if so, is there any plans for Thursday night, it would be a very early start on the friday morning if I have to come up from Stirling, so is there anybody any plans to stay in Aberdeen on the Thursday evening.

SS, yes this is the 9.20am flight on the Friday, me and ReekySporran are staying in the travel inn at Dyce on the Thurs night which is next to the airport (I think and hope) and I think I read some others are staying there to.
We got our flight tickets on Sat morning

For anyone interested, these guys (Svein í Heiðunum of Flogfelag Føroya, +298 340052, email incoming@ff.fo) are now running another package going up on the Sat morning from Aberdeen (dep 0900 arr 1010) and coming back on the Sunday morning (dep 0720 arr 0825) with Sat night in the Hotel Føroyar for GBP 300 (DKK 3,460).
But you won't get much drinking for your money. See the public transport website http://www.ssl.fo/ferdaatlan/
The airport is 30 miles from Torshaven and involves a bus of 20 mins, a ferry of 15 mins and another bus of 1 hour. With transfer times this adds up to a journey of 1 hour 45 minutes. You arrive at 1010 on the Saturday, get through customs at say 1030 and so wouldn't get to Torshaven before 1215 at the earliest. The stadium in Toftir is a further 40 minute ferry from Torshaven and so if you wanted to get there for the match at say 1445, you would have to leave Torshaven at 1400, giving you only 1 hour 45 minutes (absolute max, probably much less depending on the ferry times) to get sorted in Torshaven, check in, get beers and food etc. Not much time after a journey from Aberdeen of 5 hours and no time for many pre match bevvies.
The real killer is the Sunday morning though. With the flight at 0720, you would probably have to be there a half hour before at 0650 latest, and so have to leave Torshaven at 0505, meaning having to get up at around 0430!!! No real point in having the hotel room...
When we first heard of this we were up for it, but looking at the timings it's just a bit too sh!te - as my mate said, it concentrates on getting to the match at the expense of the drinking, which is a bit @rse over tit. So we'll keep looking...

Another thing which will make the Sat-Sun trip a really nightmare is that you prob will not be able to check into the hotel till about 7.00 in the evneing (assuming it is the same situation as us and using the teams' rooms!!)

Yup - it's the same, check in at 7pm and run the risk of finding Rab Douglas's forgotten soiled jockstrap in your bathroom...
