David Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well, it's Norway on Thursday now. I think we need to score away to have a real chance of winning this tie, and i'm fairly confident we can get the goal we need. I'll go for a 1-1 draw.

mwellhighland Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 After watching that and the travel problems I think we'll struggle. 1-0 to them but we'll pump them at Fir Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 am seriously thinking about the ferry to Bergen and train/bus or maybe even hire car from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerse Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 am seriously thinking about the ferry to Bergen and train/bus or maybe even hire car from there Where's that from mate? If it all comes under £200 I could do something like this too. Flights were £320 cheapest, including all nighters in airports so sack that!

SuperCC Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just had a quick look and you can get a direct 45min flight from bergen to Aalesund for only £99. Out on Wed and back on Friday - I see a plan coming together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get to Holland for about £30 notes on some websites if you want an EPIC drive!! And yes, i'm thinking about it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 North Shields to Bergen, although departing Aberdeen may also be an option. (It does take 24hrs though ) It may be a tad late in the day, but I've heard of folk getting cheap passage on oil rig supply ships, Aberdeen to Bergen. Flights to Kristiansand from Aberdeen, but that's even further away than Bergen and are over £1000 return FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Bit early to even think about it really. We were poor tonight and I'm sure the Norwegians will be a sterner test than Breidablik. But will they be tougher than Steaua Bucharest who we faced at the same stage last season with pretty much the same squad as we have now (minus Slane, Coke and O'Brien)? And who we had worried for 45 minutes in Airdrie? My concern would be creating chances. No replacement for O'Brien, then we need to look at other ways of getting enough ball to the forwards. No prediction yet, just crossing my fingers that we come back to Fir Park with something to play for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellarmy Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 2-1 Aalesunds. Aslong as we score and the tie is still in reach then I'll be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell89 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 id prefer us to take a 2-3 goal couching back to fir park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Wonder how possible it would be to charter a fishing boat + sail from Peterhead/Aberdeen straight over to Aalesund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo.mcr Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 priced it all up then realised i cant make it, but heres what i came up with. Car rental for 5 days (tuesday - saturday) £109 Dover to Calais Ferry on Wed morning ( 5 people + 1 car) £25 Drive from calais to Hirtshals (Denmark) Hirtshals to Larvik ferry ( 5 people + 1 car) £185 / 217Euro Drive Larvik to Aalesunds Watch game then all the way back back in dover Late Friday night. 5 people sharing comes to around £60 per person, plus fuel. which with an eco-friendly rental doing around 60mpg for the 1700miles is a total of £140 in fuel, split between the 5. So everything for under £100 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell Football Club Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Please drop Hateley. He was played on the right side of midfield tonight in place of Humphrey. In Humphrey's short time on the park he played 2 good balls into the box, something Hateley failed to do all game. And if what I've heard is right, they'll just stifle us and play the high ball all day, so we need to get in behind them. Humphrey seems to be able to play brilliant balls onto the 6 yard line, sadly there's never anyone there to finish them. I'm comfortable with the defence and centre of midfield but I just don't think we're utilising Sutton correctly. If we can do this then I feel we'll have the potential to score a ton of goals between Suttons heading and Murphy's acceleration. In the long term, as has been said before, Forbes needs to be behind the front two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFCGaryMFC Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 To be honest i only think Hateley was played right midfield instead of Humphrey was to be more solid defensively on the right hand side to see the tie out. I don't think it would be a regular place for Hateley unless we were defending a lead and seeing the game out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggad Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Congrats with the victory in Iceland. As expected but still a good feeling I would believe ! I see the discussions on how to get here and prices, and I have a just a little information to this. Bergen-Aalesund by car is a drive that will take about 6-7 hours in a normal speed. There are 2 or 3 ferries on this route as well. Expect approx £15 per ferry. If you like nice scenery then this is a fantastic trip ! (bring a GPS) Oslo-Aalesund is also about 7 hours. Better roads and decent scenery. Oslo is crap, but it gets better as you approach Aalesund. If you go by car: Keep within or close to the speed limits ! Fines are astronomic...easy £300 - up. Another airport to check prices via is Trondheim. Trondheim is a 5 hour drive from Aalesund. Ask if there is something you would like to know.

delboy Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I can't believe John Boyle doesn't know someone who has a private jet the team and a few supporters can squeeze into, it's a disgrace and he should resign! only joking ferry and then drive sounds the best option but I can't do it (time off work, cost etc) but it would be a great adventure!!! As for the game, coming way with a clean sheet is all that I would ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Reading on their forums sounds like a few of them are very confident, somewhat overconfident about their chances. Hopefully they underestimate us and we can go out and scud them, being the seeded team after all we should be stronger than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxywell Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 that would be my prediction.if we defend crosses and corners like we did in both games then you'd think a better team with big forwards would take more advantage.think an away goal is very important for our chances and if we don't get 1 i'd be surprised if we go through.
