    Same. I'll have a lab on Monday and it's not good working with hazardous samples with a twitchy hand. :84:

    Can't see us dropping more points than the huns before the bigotdome game,so we will clinch it there.im actually hoping the huns take something tom cos I can't see them beating utd the form their on.if they lose Tom it could be over before the cup final.

    I almost booked the same flight (was quite happy that Ryanair flies back on Sunday now), but was awaiting results of this weekend. Never thought the fixture was gonna change.Prices to go back on Monday are already pretty high. I have to think this over I guess.

    Goddamnit Sky basterds. This change will cost me at least 100 quid extra and an extra day off at work if I am still going.

    If U booked with Ryanair, as I did, U can switch dates and flights for 50 euros and this uptil 4 days before departure. I still gonne wait a good week to see if the prices for the flights won't drop till under 50 euros ... otherwise I'll change the date and flight.
    Good luck

    the fact its moved to sunday wont affect those travelling on the ferry to much only those with flights already booked it will be a rough 3 weeks with the cup then staying over the following sunday for ibrox and then back for a day trip with the kids
    for the st johnstone match. will be lucky to still have a job and wife

    Cheers, but I have not booked yet. Don't think the prices will drop. The most annoying thing is going to Edinburgh Airport early on Monday morning.
    Haha, same here (except no wives and kids, makes things less complicated). Coming over for three weekends in a row is a bit much.

    In my experience the cheap budget airline fares hardly ever go down. The closer you get to the flight date the more expensive they become.

    Well ....I booked my tickets 3 weeks ago for the St-Johnstone one ...the return ticket was at 80 euros and when I checked yesterday ....35 euros. Not the first time this happens to me ..

    Defo mate.they have so many seats at each price and they keep going up as they sell out.years ago it was cheaper to try your luck on the day or near to the day but I think they got fed up with people doing that.what I will say tho is althought the actual seat price doesn't often fall they do sometimes take the tax off

    Indeed. Same here.

    I am still thinking about going back on Sunday. It should be possible to catch the 6.20 pm flight at Edinburgh since it is an early kick-off. This means I would have to leave the stadium at least before 3 pm, run to Queen Street Station (it is less than 4km, so I can do this in half an hour), catch the train to Haymarket at 3.30pm, then on to the Airlink bus and I should be at the airport around 5pm.

    Main drawback is, I will probably miss a bit of the presenting of the SPL trophy after the game (if it is won by then).

    you should just jump on the train at bellgrove low level to get into queen street, would save you 15 minute run.

    Oh, that would be a great idea. It appears that the train leaving from Queen Street Station to Edinburgh is the same as the one leaving from Bellgrove, so no need to change at Queen Street. Cheers, mate. :50:

    Thats is a shame Silenzio.

    if it does look like SPL trophy day I would advise taking the hit and an extra day off, enjoy seeing the title at Parkhead and go for several post match beverages!

    Enjoy either way, some commitment doing all those miles!
