Innsbruck would be the most logical place to stay considering you do not know where the matches will be, it is the most central city and rail links are reasonable

@tartanarmy: It would be great to have a scot invasion. We hope that also the team will do great.

@fatchris: hiya Chris, I had a look at the trains:

the latest is at 22:40 from Zurich and it takes a min. of 4 hours to go there.

from Wien the last train leaves at about 22:00 and it takes about

6,31hrs to reach Innsbruck (min. 4,4 hours if you take the train at 18:00)

I think it is sort of a gable, if your matches are in Switzerland then you should stay in CH, when in Austria then stay in Austria. Else - if you have to run and catch a train at 22:00- you miss on the fun and ambience

In CH we are lucky, in the sence that the farthest away you have to travel is the Basel-Geneva route and that is "only" 2:42 hours.

It is a little bit foolish I think, that it is organised by two countries and on cities that are so far away from each other. not very fan-friendly.

Tak

And where is your football stadium? I just know the athletics stadium for 20'000 audience, which is never full. :-)

hey guys,

what were you thinking? 2-0? why?

you must absolutely smash Italy, you will leave many people dissapointed if you do not (and I do not mean just the Scots).

As I hear, the match will be shown on the swiss TV in November so we will watch it and we will be here rooting for you. just DO IT!
