Anyone heading to Oslo for the game? I'm thinking of making it a week trip with the Mrs.

To make the most of it have a look at fly to or from
Bergen and then getting the train to Oslo - supposedly one of the best train journeys in Europe.
Don’t be fooled by Ryanair’s use of the word “Oslo” too - they fly to Torp which is about 75 miles south. What you save on cheap flights you lose on an expensive coach to take you to the city centre.

There's a train shuttle from Torp to Oslo as well.
"The Norway train Vy rides from Torp Station to Oslo Central Station takes approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes. Vy Norway bus tickets can be purchased from the ticket machine in the terminal building. Adult tickets cost 289 NOK, while children aged 6 to 17 and seniors aged 67 or above can buy train tickets for 159 NOK."
13 NOK = £1 (roughly).

I've set up a Facebook group just for this fixture, all welcome to participate. "FC Oslo v. Lewes only" is the title.

Right! Looks like Gardermoen is the best option. From Stansted for me, any hints/tips at all?

Oh I know - the most expensive city in the galaxy - and I don't mean the chocolate. Looking at 'ordinary' prices - £2.50 for a lettuce (not that I want one) - I went in 1996 and small beer in a bar was £5 then. Not many drunks about for sure. Ch-CHING!
