dave_min Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Boredom and the internet, never a good mix, however I came across why flights to Holland are so damn cheap! http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/news.php?yr=08&month=jun&story=gen-en-120608 Auf Wiedersehen EasyJet! RYANAIR WELCOMES EASYJETS DECISION TO DESERT DORTMUND Ryanair, Europe’s low fare airline, says “Auf Wiedersehen!†EasyJet, after their announcement today (12th June) that EasyJet has started consultations with its staff on the closure of its Dortmund base where EasyJet has 3 aircraft and 11 routes. EasyJet started its base in Dortmund in 2005. Ryanair started a competing base in Düsseldorf-Weeze in 2007 and just 1 year later EasyJet announced that they plan to desert Dortmund, because they cannot compete with Ryanair’s lower fares to/from Düsseldorf-Weeze. Speaking today, Ryanair’s Daniel de Carvalho said: “EasyJet’s high fares cannot compete with Ryanair’s lowest fares from nearby Düsseldorf-Weeze. It was just a matter of time before EasyJet deserted Dortmund. So it’s “Auf Wiedersehen†EasyJet’s high fares and “Willkommen†more Ryanair’s lowest fares at Düsseldorf-Weeze. To celebrate EasyJet deserting Dortmund, Ryanair released 100 000 seats at €10 including taxes and fees on its 22 routes from Düsseldorf-Weeze. EasyJet passengers, tired of high fares, should go and snap the guaranteed lowest fares at www.ryanair.com. EasyJet’s decision to desert Dortmund leaves it with just one German base in Berlin, compared to Ryanair’s 3 German bases in Frankfurt-Hahn, Düsseldorf-Weeze and Bremen. Auf Wiedersehen EasyJet at Dortmund!†Also, I was talking to a Huntly player in the pub on Sunday and he told me we're playing them in our last pre-season friendly before the season starts. It's the day the highland league kicks off, they've got a free saturday so are playing us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizer Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Following Dave_min's post in the travel section about another game in the preseason tour. Can some of the Dutchies translate this page? http://www.rietvogels.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=96&Itemid=110 Jimmy Calderwood even terug op het “oude nest†SV RIETVOGELS v ABERDEEN FC Op Donderdag 31 juli a.s zal het Schotse ABERDEEN FC onder leiding van Jimmy Calderwood aantreden tegen het 1e elftal van SV RIETVOGELS, getraind door Hans Jebbink. Jimmy Calderwood, behaalde in het vroege verleden als trainer van SV RIETVOGELS ook al goede resultaten en heeft deze lijn van successen ook bij ABERDEEN FC kunnen doortrekken en zelfs europees voetbal gespeeld. SV RIETVOGELS afgelopen seizoen kampioen geworden onder leiding van trainer Scot Calderwood (zoon van Jimmy), wordt het volgend seizoen getraind door Hans Jebbink, welke uiteraard als “coming man†een goed resultaat wil neerzetten. Het ziet er naar uit dat het publiek, welke in grote getale verwacht wordt, voor slechts € 5,00 entree, een geweldige pot voetbal met een enorme inzet van beide teams, kan verwachten. Om 19.00 uur zullen beide teams door de F-jeugd van SV RIETVOGELS naar de middellijn worden vergezeld, waarna dit voetbal spektakel kan beginnen. Tijdens de 3e helft is er natuurlijk gelegenheid tot napraten, maar ook om nog even oude herinneringen op te halen. ---- EDIT From some free translation site Jimmy Calderwood back just on the "old nest" SV RIETVOGELS v ABERDEEN FC On Thursday 31 July a. s, the Scottish ABERDEEN FC will come forward under leadership of Jimmy Calderwood against the 1e team of SV RIETVOGELS, trained through Hans Jebbink. Jimmy Calderwood, obtained in the early past as a trainer of SV RIETVOGELS in such a way good results and has these rule of successes also by ABERDEEN FC can impregnate and played even european football. SV RIETVOGELS past season champion become under leadership of trainer Scot Calderwood (son of Jimmy), becomes the next season trained by Hans Jebbink, which naturally as "coming man" a good result put down want. It sees there to from that the public, which in force expected becomes, before only € 5.00 entrance, a tremendous pot football with an enormous effort of both teams, can expect. 19.00 hour both teams will become accompanied by the F-youth of SV RIETVOGELS to the center line, after which this football spectacle begin can. During the 3e half, there is repeat natural occasion till, but to get also yet just old memories on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dons have taken off from Dyce today ahead off on their pre season trip to Holland. A number of new faces are hoping to impress the manager. The squad touch down in Amsterdam, before travelling to their base in Hengelo. They'll play five matches against Dutch sides, including Vittesse Arnhem. Just before leaving Zander Diamond admitted that a persistent injury could mean he doesn't play in any of the games, in hope of being fully fit for the start of the news season. Boss Jimmy Calderwood comes up against his son Scott in the first game tomorrow night against DZC. Hengelo http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Hengelo&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wl Seems to be out of the way, doubt anyone will be staying there and bump into them.

Slim Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I see Club Bruges offered to fly us and pay all our expenses to play them in a friendly the day after our last game in Holland. It's a pity we couldn't accommodate that as it would have been a better test than most of the Dutch teams we'll be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Had text from mate in Holland and saying that tonights game venue has been changed (or rather it was scheduled for there all along apparently) to place called Dieren which is 15 miles from the advertised Doetinchem so if anyone has any mates over maybe give them a text and let them know.
