UEFA have made a big mistake

you dont have mogwai's do you?

TMG have stated that the official BWFC in-and-out trip will depart Skopje at 2.00am on the 21st.

 

This surely points to an evening kick off time?

No, it points to they could not get an early time slot for take off at the airport.

FACT ITK

2 Hours ahead, so KO I imagine wil be 9.45 pm local time to fit in with TV in UK for 7.45 pm KO UK time.

I'd best take a cardi to the match then.

Nah. Alex the Great said Skopje is 1 hour ahead.

 

Those travelling via Sofia (2 hours ahead) will have to cope with a time zone change.

 

Cue hours of Peter Kay-esque "what time is it now?" conversations

spring forward, fall back

Skopje - GMT +1

Sofia - GMT +2

Prague - GMT +1

 

By my reckonings we'll be needing to leave Skopje around 8am on way home.

Allows 4 hours for journey. 1 hour time difference and 2 hours check-in.

Skopje - BST +1

Sofia - BST +2

Prague - BST +1

Pedantic I know!

never have done this crossing, i'm only guessing, but 4 hours could be optimistic

I think we'll decided the journey time once we've done the trip there first, eh lads?

apparently we could be stuck at the border for quite some time.

20-40 people on a coach. all of us will have to be checked out.

 

we could do with finding out a bit more about this.

agreed smiley, reckon a couple of hours if were lucky. just make sure were stocked up with loads of kamenitz

I obviously can't say too much on this part of the website, but all this will be taken into consideration when the final itinerary is sorted.

we did this trip on a coach for the england game last year we set off back at midnight and got to sofia airport at 7:30am and only just made the flight,the border crossing took over two hours but there were about 4 coaches there at the same time,theres a cheap little bar at the border point to help pass the time

The scheduled bus from Skopje to Sofia takes 5 hours. The timetable is Page 36-37.

 

Schedules might mean nowt mind.

 

I'd suggest getting in front of the 08:30 service for a start!

the locals went through a different gate than us, we all had our passports collected by the border guard who came on the bus and took them away to stamp them then he wouldn't just give us the lot back and let us go,he had to hand them out personally to everyone and check their photos.every passport gets stamped by the macedonian guards then you drive two hundred yards and get the same treatment off the bulgarians so its like going through two border checks

It's like that at Shenzhen - Hong Kong border. I don't think it's just the East Europeans being arsey, to be fair.

I was having a chat with a lad who did an England trip the same way. He said it took between 60-90 minutes to clear the boarder
