Well91 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I am going to Heereenveen on the train via Eurostar, Brussels and Schipol airport. I contacted Heerenveen and they said the game is being played in Langezwaag. Reply from them, "Langezwaag is not our training ground, it’s a small village near Heerenveen which has a training complex.The village is about 6,8 km from Heerenveen. I think that’s a little too far to go on foot.You can rent a car or a bike, or go by bus if you want. From the bus station there’s a bus to Langezwaag every 30 minutes. This will be bus line 20 and bus line 21.We hope you’ll enjoy your stay in Heerenveen". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomjac Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Transport in Holland ?You can literally get to on city or town with a train station from 010 or 020 in 2-3 hours, and all at a fraction of the UK cost. Oh and at the weekend there are 2 "circle" trains which run in opposite directions between the major cities between midnight and 6am.I used to be able to combine a 10 minute walk to Rotterdam centraal, 45 km train journey and 5 minute cycle to get to work in Zwinder t in 40 minutes.My advice to anyone going would be to base yourself in Rotterdam rather than Amsterdam. If Arnhem is close to any games I would also recommend it - the former allies especially are very well received due to the fact that the Dutch there actually had such a tough time from the Germans prior to liberation in September 1945. Not to mention that Arnhem is party central at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well91 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Is there nothing in Heerenveen other than the football ground and the ice rink? I am only there for one night but I will be looking for a bite to eat and a pint or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomjac Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Going to give this a miss now, but for information if you are finding the flights from Scotland expensive you could use Megatrain to go Glasgow - Preston (3 -7 pounds when I looked) and then take a separate train to Manchester Airport (£9-£1). The downside is these deals are only available Mon-Thurs, Virgin release their cheapo tickets to Megabucks 45 days in advance. Birmingham could also be an option. Overnight ferry is possible from Newcastle to Rotterdam, but be sure your driver stays sober as the Dutch police can breathalyse you.

Delay partly due to trying to confirm venues as Fir Park is out of use due to pitch being relaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
