what time would you say the last round of league fixtures will be?

1pm on the Sunday

Time is actually quite good for a change. Booking a day trip for £27.50 (which is belfast to glasgow and back by boat and coach) means you arrive in Glasgow at 12.10pm  and leave at 4pm, ample time to see the match and enjoy the league winning celebrations afterwards

times are very good indeed, just a shame some people who go every game will probably miss out. This SPL split is the biggest farce ever. Cant blame P&O or stena for taking the bookings of the rugby fans i suppose, it would be foolish to turn down business especially considering both celtic and the huns were away on the last day last season.

where does the coach drop you off at in glasgow? is this the way you usually travel?

aye tone any more details, i have no bother getting up from london but the other party is finding it difficult

[T Fearon]

southderryman, bus drops you off at Buchanan Street station in city centre. Its only good if its a 1pm kick off (or 12.30pm) as it only gets into Glasgow at 12.10pm and leaves again (from Buchanan St) at 4pm.

Never travelled this way before for a game, but have done for other visits to Glasgow (shopping with wife!!).

Was over three times in Jan and Feb, as Ryanair ran a 7.40am flight from Belfast to Prestwick on Saturday mornings in those months (dirt cheap too if you booked early), which meant that you could connect with the Flybe flight from Glasgow itself at 7.30pm that night, for the return journey. Did it for less than £50 return air fare each time. For some unknown reason Ryanair scrapped the 7.40am Belfast flight at the end of March

Was over last Saturday, flying from Dublin to Edinurgh at 6.40am (out of my pit at 3.20am ffs > and then back on the ryanair flight from Prestwick to Dublin last Saturday night at 10.30pm. Again early booking meant that both flights cost around £30 in total. Not an option this time, as the train service to Glasgow is much less frequent on Sundays and the rugby of course.

Agree that split and the overall capacity to change days/kick off times must present a nightmare to supporters clubs. Used to be in a Celtic supporters club myself, but really prefer organising my own trips these days, though obviously it does mean that you never get to a Rangers game.

tony, who did you book this through?

[T Fearon]

Go onto Citylink website (Scottish bus company) and book on line (if its not working as it sometimes doesn't) ring the contact number on website.

thats a good enough deal then, very rarely you get a 1pm KO so it worked well for you. Generally just leave the flights for away games or mid weeks when we have no buses going, get a good cheap deal through my csc.

I'd wager clubs like portadown, ballymena, EGB, Monaghan, JM, etc put a hell of a lot more money into stena every year than Citylink do, but thems the breaks i suppose.

if you asked around for a huns game you might be quite surprised. demand is nowhere near what it used to be. you buy your tickets direct from celtic or through a CSC? if you take them of the csc (usually cheaper than the official one's too) there's a chance they'll keep you in mind for a huns game. the vast majority of clubs going over every week are flogging tickets outside the superstore or at the corner of kerrydale street, you'd be doing them a favour by taking them of their hands too.

the split is a farce, the only reason they have it in place is to stop a title decider and they very nearly made a balls of that this season too. its a nightmare for getting to games too. aberdeen flights cost me £95 and involve an overnight job. same with hibs only its £65. fortunely we got a heads up about ibrox before they announced it so i got a flight in and out that day for £35. but its getting worse every year. it needs to be looked at.
