TwoStars Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hugely let down by these guys. Heard good things about them and they seemed professional. First of all changed the route from Hull-Rotterdam to Hull-Brugge which added on at least 3/4 hours to our journey.18 year old 'in charge' of 47 football fans who was on his first ever job away from home. Poor lad was hugely out of his depth.Couldn't find the hotel in Groningen.Nearly every single stage of the 'itinerary' was wrong.Due in Groningen at 12. Didn't arrive until 430pm.Due in Aberdeen at 5pm. Didn't arrive until 8pm. I'm sure a lot of work was put into the organisation of the trip but the follow through wasn't there. I seen the trip for San Sebastián and it looks absolutely ridiculous. Have a serious think before you go ahead with it. Link to comment
buchanskii Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I was on that as well. Agree that the ferry going to Zebrugge instead of Rotterdam after paying was a shit move. Hardly got any time in Groningen and spent most of the trip on the bus, nae fine. Would have been a great journey If it wasn't such a long drive to and fro groningen. I think I'll be paying extra for air travel from now on... Link to comment
minijc Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 That's a shame, some pals were in a minibus, just through their mates and they seemed to have had a great time, I doubt I could handle a bus journey like that, going to Hull was bad enough a few years ago. Link to comment
the_shrimp Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Sounds shit. So glaid I was flying - the allure of the boat sounded like an adventure but in reality it's was a disaster. Surely they shouldn't have changed the destination. Link to comment
Mikeyboy1903 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 4 days on a bus to Spain is not my idea of fun ..... No thanks. Link to comment

TwoStars Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 The ferry was actually a good laugh. But the extra 4 hours on a bus was not. They claimed they changed the destination because it was more luxurious which was quite clearly bullshit. They then back tracked and claimed it was because there was a police presense in Rotterdam and they didn't want to make fans uncomfortable.I later spoke to fans who travelled via Rotterdam ferry port and found out that was also bullshit. They changed it because it was cheaper. Link to comment

Seen what I presume was your bus pull into the square, full of a lot of pissed off looking faces. Were yous even allowed a carry out to pass the time? Link to comment

Red Dragon Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 IIRC we went with this lot to Munich and all went without a hitch. Did fly direct to Munich tho'. Notice their site is nae workin', nae sure if they've gone breasts skywards. Link to comment

Poodler Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The grammar on that website is horrendous. As is the cheap design. I would avoid on that basis. Link to comment
