Try skyscanners and Ryanair mate. I could book flight and hotel for 60 quid on there this morning. There is a link to "find a hotel " on skyscanners. Change the search thing on there to " low prices first " when doing hotels.

 

[wanderer paul]

Check which Oslo airport you're going too as a couple could be outside Oslo, just the same as Stanstead is miles away from London.......

Thanks matey. Does anyone have any idea how far these airports are from Oslo and how we would get from Oslo to the Ground etc?

The cheaper flights will be to further away airport but there will be an airport bus. I saved a fortune in the World Cup in Germany flying to Frankfurt Hahn for Peanuts and getting the bus from there .

Yeah thought that would be the case with the bus. Having not been abroad very often i assume we would need to book the bus in advance through the airline?

Using Ryanair - price seems to be changing on the hour! Oslo airport i used was Torp

*****Also with me living in Notts - the early flights are a no go.

In Frankfurt you just paid on the bus. Will find out more once we know the date and ko time

Just checked on ryan air again 19.98 return with no bags on ryan air flying to Oslo Rygge . No idea how far that is from proper Oslo

 

[stoney04]

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Cheapest flight to Oslo £175 return

Does that include all the taxes, taking a p, sitting down on a seat (inside the plane!) and not on the wing??

any more lies, spanners & general negativity you wish to add to this holiday please Paul? :kingkev:

 

[nick logan]

Right apparently there is a train station close to Rygge that is a 50 min ride from Oslo

 

[wanderer paul]

any more lies, spanners & general negativity you wish to add to this holiday please Paul? :kingkev:

:yes:

We're playing a reserve side! :banana:

Any new signings will be unveiled & paraded at the first home friendly! They'll be asked to stand quietly under a black sheet in the centre circle and the winner of a fixed lottery will be allowed to 'unveil' them! I have my money on 'rebus'

All the above is true, ITK , there are no spanners required and I spread positivity on the GPG :moo:

:afro:

[Brentford 4 Life]

Tord and Rygge are south of Oslo at least 70 miles away and the proper Oslo airport is north of Oslo city and Lillsetrom as well but slightly closer. Obviously it will be more expensive. So it seems that we would get the plane and then travel North to Oslo city which would be similar distance of Brighton to Brentford.

Surely we can bum a ride on the team bus FFS. There will only be about 10 of us, loads of room.

 

[Chopper]

This might be a stupid question but how do you get from Oslo to the ground and how much will it cost?

As long as they stop at the pub and as long as Sir Benham is buying as i doubt any of us could afford a pint out there!

You won't get me 'bumming' a ride to get there, whoever your favourite player to snuggle up to might be, the majority would prefer to fly, I suppose living in the country is the probable cause to your problem, plus a close friendship with KB :grey:

I had a quick look on Wikipedia and Oslo has the best Transport links in Norway so you would hope we can get a train. Dont know for definate and this is Brentford were talking about so we will probably have to walk.

Scandinav, scandinav scander, Norway will be fine for transport as are all the other countries near there

May be no trains? http://www.nsb.no/traffic-info/the-...-26-june-8-august-2011-article38627-4532.html

If you go from Oslo airport, Gardermoen, to Strømmen, you don't go into Oslo city, I think.

 

[big neil]

http://strommen-if.no/strømmen-stadion/
Seems they play on Artificial grass.
Capacity is 1800, record crowd is 12000, that must have been a bit of a squeeze!

 

[nick logan]

no mate but got 3 fellow bees well up for it and mum is paying for me

 

[Paul USA]

Nick, make that 4 !

 

[Beeattitude]

Oslo

Oslo airport is nowhere near Oslo, get into Olso is quick from the airport and by god Norway is exspensive. thank god each time I have been is on company expenses.

 

[dirtyd22no]

Strommen is close to Lillestrom, North East of Oslo. You will pay a small fortune if you go via Torp Airport as that is in sandefjord way south of Oslo and be a good few hours on train/bus. Rygge is near Moss and also a distance away but at least on the East side. Gardermoen is the main Oslo airport and I would think better to pay a bit extra and go via there and save time and also on train/bus tickets...

'Norwegian' are also another airline worth checking out, decent prices to Gardermoen Oslo from gatwick. Hope I can make this match and actually meet a few of you, will be moving to Norway next week so very possible although I'll be up north.

 

[SQUELCH]

If you are thinking of hiring a car whilst out there, I'd go for a Fjord Focus.................

 

[dirtyd22no]

I've seen the ground then if it's the one the train passes to the airport,it looks smallish and modern probably 10K capacity.

This would have been Arasen, Lillestroms home ground. Very close to the main line. It has retractable light towers...

Shame we havent heard from the club but at least a few more people are interested. Why arent all those from the New Manager thread on here planning the logistics? Maybe next pre season we could go to Germany as that would be easier and cheaper i assume, especially if we get more than 4 weeks notice.
