Jim of the Fens 0 Posted July 14, 2012 I hope so, after the massive love in, 150 of us stood/sat there would look a bit sick wouldn''t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barclaystand 0 Posted July 14, 2012 I''ll be there.Have got train and hotel booked. Will get match ticket when I pop into the city in a couple of days. (I hate paying that damned booking fee!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted July 14, 2012 I hear the Louden Tavern near to Celtic Park has a convivial atmosphere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted July 14, 2012 I was going but have had to cancel because of the date change, I know quite a few others who have had to do the same, hopefully the reverse will have happened to some others so we can get a good crowd up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e10_yellow 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Heads up for those going. The Football Ground Guide etc recommend Dalmarnock as the closest train station to Celtic Park. However this station is closed for most of this year, so the nearest is now Bridgeton (4-5 minute jouney from Glasgow Central).Was lucky to be able to rejig my travel arrangements without too much trouble after the date change, should be a great night.

Matt Juler 151 Posted July 16, 2012 There''s a good group of us heading up on the official Capital Canaries trip, also a few who I know heading up to Scotland for a little longer break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PAUL 4 Posted July 16, 2012 We are going - taking my two boys, but driving up so we can stop when we like and I can have a fag when I like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Block E Buh 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Got my tickets, plus a lad a work going too, hopeing there will be a few as will create a good atmosphere, I heard Celtic season ticket holders get the game for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted July 16, 2012 I''m going with my brother and I''ve got a mate who is going as well.Is it fair to estimate that 500/600 Canaries will be going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e10_yellow 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Is anyone brave enough to do it on the official coaches? Departing at 7am for a 7.45pm kick off, sounds utterly horrific. Would love it if someone did some kind of liveblog of the experience so I can live vicariously through it though. Schadenfreude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim of the Fens 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Couple of us are going on the coaches, don''t really see what is so horrific, we went to Milan and Munich by coach whilst in Europe!!Its not as if we are strapped in and not allowed to move (cue people saying we should!!) plus a journey of approx 380 miles is not going to take 12 hours is it?After coming back from holiday it is also the most cost effective, we wanted to go and could not afford the overnight option.

e10_yellow 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Fair enough 52canary, as you might surmise coach travel is not really my cup of tea but hope the journey is plain sailing for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starfish 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Having been brought up not too far away from Parkhead, I can advise that the area around the ground is, shall we say, a little run down. If you want to experience a real, traditional Glasgow drinking den then fair enough, but.....From memory a First Group service 43, 61 or 62 from the centre of Glasgow is probably the easiest way to get to the ground, as there are no rail stations particularly close by, although it''s less than 2 miles from the city centre to the ground. As for pubs, there are plenty good ones in the middle of Glasgow around or close by to George Square.I wouldn''t normally go to a friendly, but this is too good a chance to miss (only a 60 mile journey from Perth). Me and the young lad will be in the Weatherspoons pub on George Square (Counting House - another ex bank) from about 4.15 onwards - shouldn''t be too hard to spot in our norwich tops.Hope everyone enjoys the trip.

(I''ve had a lot of wives - but only two were mine!!!) I lived in Stirling for some years. Beautiful part of the country but we can''t live on scenery so the affluent south beckoned. I''ve just booked everything - flying from Luton (cheaper than driving) and staying near the City Centre (Travelodge) so I''ll make a point of looking in at Weatherspoons!

Syteanric 1 Posted July 18, 2012 less tyhan 500 there guarenteed...there wasnt a Celtic "Love in" they just bought lots of noisy fans down here and people got a bit carried away....wonder how many tickets they have sold or if they even give a sh*t? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shankslad 0 Posted July 18, 2012 I don''t care how many are there or aren''t there. As long as I am there is all that matters and I''m just going for the hell of it and fun! It''s a good excuse to go to Glasgow for a couple of days and I''d rather go up to this event than any of the Olympics which will be absolute mayhem A scouser going to Glasgow to watch Norwich - ******* Mad innit? Life is so much more fun when you''re a bit of a nutter!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ketts Rebel 0 Posted July 18, 2012 I''m going! Cant wait. My first game in Scotland. After the Drury Testemonial its a must for me.Thought I would make a weekend of it, so going for four nights. Phoned the Ticket office today, they said to buy my ticket at Celtic park ??? So that''s the plan, although I always feel better with a ticket in my hand before I travel. For anyone else going this weekend - The Glasgow show is on Saturday and Sunday- on Glasgow green, which looks good for adults and kids alike.I hope there''s a good turn out but game should have been on a Saturday, better for most fans for work etc -- and its a long way to go.Not to mention the date change hassle.

PAUL 4 Posted July 20, 2012 Really looking forward to this one. Even the long drive up there from Norfolk doesn''t bother me as we can stop when we like and I can have a fag when I like!! My boys have told me that they are going to spend the journey warming up their vocal chords practising all the chants and songs for the night!!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
