7 minutes to go!

It’s all the same to me, clever s***e It’s the excitement you see

I think flying to Salzburg then getting a train is also an option, Tris used that line on numerous occasions if memory serves me correctly.

Always difficult going to France, the top half of the French league has some good teams.

Went to T in the park last year and stayed in a new travel lodge in Edinburgh just up the road from the ground, £40 a night with breakfast.

I think apart from the Denmark option it’s not a bad draw in terms of hitting us in the pocket. Not want to tempt fate but if we do manage to get through, this trip could have been allot worse on the old wallet.

I know Ryanair fly direct to Salzburg from Stanstead as we used Salzburg as a base before Engalnd/Germanay in Munich, so thats one cheap air option. You can fly from Blackpool to Stanstead rtn for £2, just hope the flight times are helpful should we draw them.

Hopefully going out on the Tuesday and coming back Friday or Saturday depending on flight times and venues.

Thanks in large part to Craig Bellamy's scoring exploits that we've got this opportunity, so thanks Craig. Don't care where it is as long as its sorted out tomorrow and we don't have issues with venue changes etc.

Wahoooo

Just had my charges returned, £330 in time for Europe.

The last time I attempted to buy from the 'club shop' I was told it wasn't a club shop but a sport world outlet and Blackburn Rovers don't sell club merchandise any longer. It was not full of overpriced gear either, but it was full of £3 T-Shirts and complete tatt as you say Nod. I guess we make more money from it being a Sports world shop than we ever did a club shop, but it doesn't make it right that they hardly sell club merchandise.

When Hughes arrived the first thing he did was make sure we became fitter and stronger. Today it sounds like we were second to every ball and miles off the pace which is a worrying to say the least. Hughes said in his interview we may have some good news come Monday/Tuesday with regards to the defense, lets hope so.

Rang Pompey less than an hour ago to ask if they had tickets left, after much debate they said yes we can buy them on the day: "Debs....Debs we going to pompey"?

Anyone know where the games on live tomorrow :ph34r:

In just under 2wks time we'll be busy making plans for an away trip to Europe, but where will we end up? *TAKE NOTE* We booked flights to Bulgaria as soon as the draw was made, the clubs then swapped the ties round. We were lucky in that Lufthansa changed the flights for free, but many airlines wouldn't be so accommodating.

Old ground Mr. Wood. I've given up trying to explain our attendance trends, as gates continue to grow ours continue to decline. The club offer cheap tickets, the gates still don't increase and season ticket holders moan. Simple facts of the matter are, we're punching well above our weight, enjoy it while it last because with declining gates and lack of interest our current lofty position won't last forever. Savor the moment, especially our European adventure because it may never happen again.

Manx Cup

Amen

I take your point and think you're right, but these moaning walk up fans who believe they're somehow owed something annoys me no end. We'll have the usual debate in the weeks leading up to the Man Utd game about how fans are being discriminated against because they're not on the database, yet they've had ample opportunity to get on the database since we last played Utd at home. Maybe for another thread.

Bottom line is we have to make cash somehow or we'd not be in the market for players like Benni Mac and Bellamy. If charging £36 to 5000+ Everton fans allows us to remain competitive then I'm all for it. Why don't the walk up Rovers fans just come to the cheaper games if they want to support the club so much. It really gets on my nerves all this talk about walk up fans getting a raw deal. Every time we play Utd and Liverpool they want to come and many back their plight, but they should support us when the less glamorous sides come and not just the big boys. I for one support the pricing.

You need to first ask your bank for the last 6yrs bank statements, they will probably charge you £5 for the privilidge. That starts the ball rolling, next read the website and in 6-8wks you'll get all your bank charges back regardless of the reason you were charged in the first place. JUST IN TIME FOR OUR EUROPEAN TOUR

You can claim for anything the bank or credit card company has charged you for because the charges have been deemed unlawful in court earlier in the year. So if you paid your credit card late and got charged say £20, you can claim that back because its not a true reflection of what it actually cost the credit card company. If you went over your overdraft and were charged, claim it back. Basically any charges that you have incurred claim them back because they've been deemed unlawful.
