1991 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 What everyone's plans for getting to Inverness, the train looks quite expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villageman Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Might be a good idea to wait and see how Caley fare in their Europa tie first. If they get through then I guess it will be moved to the Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1991 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Didn't realise this, can't make it on the Sunday was looking forward to it aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Not sure but I think the friends fare might still be available if there are four of you going by train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Cracking start to the season for me. Also planning to head along on Thursday night to see them, my Caley supporting mates aren't optimistic at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Probably a Saturday game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Anyone running a bus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Friends Fare was only available for the return leg, with it being £45+ for the Glasgow to Inverness section of the journey. 4 of us heading up by car on the Saturday morning and stayting over. Must be something on in Inverness that weekend as hotels are either sold out or £200+ a room. We are booked into a shithole hostel just round the corner from the train station. For less than a score for a night, you get what you pay for! Really looking forward to it. Confident the match is going to be on the Saturday after their defeat last night but are covered if they do an Aberdeen and hump Astra in Romania next week. Looking forward to another cracking night in Inverness. The midweek match at the end of the 2013/2014 season kicked off a cracking evening!

stevie_mfc Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone know if there's still a bus that runs from bellshill and if there's one for this game? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's the Inverness Tourist Hostel. Do you know it? We've stayed in there for Inverness Away before mate, it's actually decent given the price. As long as you don't electrocute yourself on some of the sockets hanging out of the walls it's perfectly fine. There's a decent size common room/lounge bit with a big TV and couches if you're having a cargo before heading out to cut down costs too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Not really restricted to Inverness but if you know you are going to do a lot of train days with a family member or a mate over the course of the season then that Two Together railcard that's being advertised just now might be worth looking into. It's £30 (or £15 each) up front but after that you get a third off any rail fares for any journey you do together. For example the good lady and I have booked to go up and see the folks in Aberdeen at the end of August. With that card we've got a return from Queen Street for £29. If you're going to be going Tynecastle, Inverness, Dingwall, Aberdeen, Parkhead, Killie and the two Dundee teams by train then you'll make up your £15/£30 in no time and should make a decent saving over the piece. http://www.twotogether-railcard.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yes and No.I went to Pittodrie for that day on the Bellshill Bus and in trying to sort out a seat joined their Facebook group.There was a message actually came through this morning saying that there wouldn't be a bus for Inverness and any being organised in the future would be organised by Brian Worton again rather than Marc Welsh.

Just seen said post on facebook. I'll see if the central branch are running a bus. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Up For It! Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm going to be in Inverness this weekend so going to try and get along. Anyone know ticket info? Mainly if its pay at the gate and cost. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly if its pay at the gate and cost. Cheers It'll be pay at the gate (was when I went and there's zero chance of selling out the away end!). I'm sure prices were reasonable (in Scottish football terms). £20 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanr Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Got a mate who lives in Elgin so getting a wee overnight and getting the train down from there.

Prices went up on the official site last night as: Adults: £21 Over 65′s & 16-25 yrs £16 Under 16s £10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
