Speaking to an FSA rep earlier and they said that tickets from the wonky passengers won’t be given out or resold if uncollected, but can be put on sale again on the site if returned and will be given out based on the loyalty system are you there and spoke to them or still here. Players went from Bristol earlier and there was an eastern airlines flight from Cardiff at 2.30. Today. In Podgorica. They said tickets which are returned can still be resold on the site but obviously time is very tight for people to buy and collect. And that they would be sold subject to the loyalty system. There were tickets on sale about half an hour ago on the site and it’s down to stage 3 |

Same....I thought the 14.30 was the players/ maybe FAW and or press? Confused. Re the tickets....I'm very happy for mine to just be given away out there. It was only £4.50 but I certainly hope its not "resold" as I'm certainly not expecting a refund! Bit concerned one f**k up will be followed by another and they will mark us down as a no show....I have as advised by wonky emailed the faw to let them know but had no response from them as of yet. I already will have been charged for the hotel as had to cancel that and now claim back via insurance. Fsa rep in the collection said the faw absolutely won’t hand out uncollected tickets even if given permission to. They have to be returned officially so it can be properly recorded and distributed. |

If we had been told earlier by wonky we all could've sorted something out ourselves but just kept us hanging on. I've used wonky twice and twice there has been an issue..won't be using them again |

So happy that I didn't skip Skhoder, Albania. It's a lovely reminder of Pecs, Hungary. But even more pristine clean and yellow. Totally lovely :+)
It's 80 minutes direct bus from Tirana airport and 80 minutes then to podgorica.

I’m enjoying Tirana and a taxi driver was just saying he was from Skhoder (I think) and showing me pictures. |

Speaking to an FSA rep earlier and they said that tickets from the wonky passengers won’t be given out or resold if uncollected, but can be put on sale again on the site if returned and will be given out based on the loyalty system I had emailed the ticket office asking if any tickets unable to be used due to the Wonky plane would be made available in Podgorica. Their reply was similar. “We’ve not received a significant number of cancellations from those due to fly out with Wonky Sheep. A lot of fans with tickets on that flight have since arranged their own travel. Any returns we are receiving are going back on sale through our ticketing website as and when we receive them.” We also took a trip to the sports centre across the river from old town, where home tickets are usually sold. It was deserted, all barred and bolted. We grabbed a drink in a nearby bar and checked with the barman that we were in the right place. He was into football, knew all about the game being moved, confirmed we were in the right place, but didn’t know where tickets were now being sold. Fair play, he checked the home web sites where he’d usually find ticket info, nothing showing. He also phoned his mates, who he described as local ultras, with a smile on his face. They didn’t have tickets either, or know where to buy. The Welders it is then, unless the ticketing gods smile on us in the next few hours. |

There were4 of us booked on those buses but we haven’t been able to make it out there because of the wonky sheep debacle. So there’ll certainly be four spaces. |

On a slightly more optimistic note, the local weather forecast for Niksic is for the really heavy afternoon rain tomorrow to subside by 6pm and then almost clear by ko :+) meteo.co.me/page.php?id=34 |

Well didn't make it out there in the end. Wasn't to be.
The hotel have been excellent. I have been in constant contact with them and they have since waived any cancellation fees, which they had every right to charge. Would like to go back there one day!
FAW have also agreed to keep Montenegro on the booking history under the circumstances and the fact we tried to "travel with the official fan partners ". I believe that's the right approach and common sense has prevailed.
Over to Wonky now. They say judge a company on how well they treat you when something goes wrong. Well this will be their acid test for me and will inform my decision on whether to use them in the future or not. I hope they are quick with their resolution (full refund) and we don't find ourselves in a fight or having to go through insurance. I also think a goodwill gesture will be needed here. I was willing to overlook the Riga delays as they ultimately got us back but this was a disaster all round. We held off booking alternative flights as we thought there was hope of a plane finally taking off yesterday, only for that to fall through.
Anyway, that's it from me on this subject. Hope everyone out there has a fantastic time, stay safe and get to see a Cymru win.

Let us know how you get on with the purchase of tickets. Probably stay in Pod but haven’t ruled out getting a bus up there if they’re easily available. Getting back is a bit of an arse though |

Just seen Matthew and the shuttles will only start leaving circa 6.15pm from outside the WWelder pub, where the pre-party is. No wrist bands, but you will need to show a match ticket to board! |

Couple of our lot went up to Niksic early. Warned off buying tickets in the home ends and been told that you will need “local ID’s with tickets” so they’ve decided to come back and we are all going to watch it in McCloud’s. Just advising people of what our group were told by officials.

Ummm.
It started coming down in ernest around 2.30pm... Not good...
The FSF boys spoke about a pitch inspection at 6pm... It has been a scorching 33c here every day the last 3 weeks until yesterday - so all this rain must be falling on rock hard surface

We just made it to Niksic now. Roads are barely passable in places and getting worse. Supposedly, a pitch inspection at 5:45pm but haven’t had that verified officially but it sounds very plausible as it’s pretty wet here. I believe game could be rescheduled for tomorrow if I’ve interpreted UEFA regulations correctly.

We got off the train at Niksic (ticketless) just before 3pm. Thunder lightning and biblical rain. Got drenched crossing the road.
Hunting tickets in a monsoon didn’t seem like fun anymore.
Had a quick conference, got back on the same train we just came up on. Last train of the day, rail replacement buses for the rest of the day.
We bravely ran away !
