Wiltshire Jag Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Normally around this time I'm planning my trips up from deepest Wiltshire with an overnight on Saturdays for February and April. Firstly Easyjet throw a spanner in the works by changing the Saturday take-off from Bristol from 7:00am to nearly noon in Feb (so little pub time and no allowance for delays) or 1:30pm in April, so need to fly in to Edinburgh and now I can't get the best deals because I have to hold off booking because of the televising and of course the split. Don't think my 10 year-old Punto would cope with the trip anymore! Anyone any ideas when the next lot of TV schedules are going to be announced?

twinny Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 10 year old Punto not up to it? I've just done the journey from Southampton to Glasgow in a 15 year old Nissan Almera with 123,000 on the clock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Jag Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Perhaps it's the 58 year-old occupant that's not up to it, really! Since the advent of Go/Easyjet flights out of Bristol, the last time I drove up was 2002. Just glad I didn't make plans to go and visit my cousin in Aberdeen this weekend as talked about when the fixtures were announced. I can accept most Sunday kickoffs, early/late ones on a Saturday, but the switch to Fridays and Mondays from the weekend fixtures is a pain. But Sundays at 12:30 in Inverness was an effin joke.

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Maybe the home games on Boxing day ( Thursday) and the Motherwell game three days later might be a good choice as surely one of them will remain on schedule.

Blackpool Jags Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 10 year old Punto not up to it? I've just done the journey from Southampton to Glasgow in a 15 year old Nissan Almera with 123,000 on the clock! Pffff! Not even run in. I used to regularly do Firhill and back in an old Mondeo with over 160k on the clock. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought last year then the game after Morton was called off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
