aaid Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I thought the same, why not give people the heads up and save a few quid before the press get hold of it and then airlines putting up prices 1. How exactly do you give people the heads up and not tip the press off, email all 35000 SSC members and tell them to keep schtum? 2. You do know that airline booking systems automatically react to popular flights/routes and put the prices up, there's no-one doing this manually. Of course, unless you actually meant - why not give *me* a heads up and no-one else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm assuming the second game will be on the Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyP Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I thought the same, why not give people the heads up and save a few quid before the press get hold of it and then airlines putting up prices Everytime you use a search engine like skyscanner to look at a flight then the site registers your IP address as it signals your interest in a flight so it puts it up by a couple of quid each time....it is how they make their money.....always best to research on say skyscanner then use airlines own site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveheart_lynch Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 BBC have now confirmed this fixture but not seen anything from SFA yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm assuming the second game will be on the Sunday? Not necessarily. This is a friendly week so there's no fixed schedule unlike qualifiers. If you look at the Czech image, their second game is on the 29th which is the following . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab The Crab Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 STV Sport reporting it.

braveheart_lynch Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Always a bit frustrating that we seem to hear last from the SFA on these things. Sky, BBC, STV, Daily Record etc all reporting the fixture but I don't see any confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is the game definitely in Prague - on STV they just said venue TBC and the game will be away. Could well be in a different city or even at a neutral venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock strap Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bloody Prague again ! Maybe we will play with a forward this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McToot Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is the game definitely in Prague - on STV they just said venue TBC and the game will be away. Could well be in a different city or even at a neutral venue. Neutral venue was my worry given previous chat of a camp. Think they generally play in Olomouc if not in Prague which is a couple of hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveheart_lynch Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Czech chiefs are due to release exact details of the contest in the coming 48 hours, but Record Sport understands Prague is a strong contender to host the game. Above taken from Daily Record. It appears might be a bit of a wait before confirmation. Personally would rather wait until heard from SFA. I get the impression one media outlet has picked up on the fixture on the Czech FA website and the rest have just jumped on the bandwagon.

jock strap Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Anyone had official confirmation from the SFA or SSC ? Just checked my emails but got nothing. Edited January 6, 2016 by jock strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Taken a wee gamble.... Glasgow-Berlin on the Tuesday (night in Dresden) and Friday morning flight from Prague back to Edinburgh for roughly £90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 BBC Radio Scotland just announced it as an away game in Prague on the 24th. Prague is a great city, but how many times? I've been there twice since 2008 with Scotland, and once with the missus (also in 2008 before the friendly in May of that year). J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radian_13 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Too many on that FB page love to think they're important that's why they won't say anything but make on they're in the know. Pathetic really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
