1.1 km or a 14 min walk according to google maps.

The game will be at the Olympic stadium, the old one has been closed...Syntagma square seems to be the main area in the centre of Athens, plenty of bars, good metro links to everywhere so this seems like a good shout for a meeting place and a few beers, plus my hotel is 2 mins away

I have a spare £30 ticket for the POD if somebody still needs one.

Some useful info for those getting in to Athens Early Tuesday and looking for a bus. http://www.athensair...irport_bus.html Looks like the X95 service is the one to get 5 euro's single

Agree with this, Pana are not the side they were, they are beatable, judge them on how they perform and not on previous reputations, believe and live the dream.

I have a spare adult ticket for the game available if anybody is still looking to buy one, its for the POD (row E, 115 i think). If anybody wants it just PM me.

Thats the Hotel booked, arriving Tuesday night, anybody else staying at the Central hotel ?

I am sure we can get a good deal on the flares and smoke bombs in Athens to create a bit of an atmosphere...we should have a collection

We are going back thursday on the 17:25 Aegean to Heathrow, there at 19;20 then its the 21:00 BA to Glasgow, £321 each plus Hotel yet to be booked, so should be just under £400 all in

if its the 06:55 to Crete then i am on that one as well, leave Crete at 17:25 in Athens at 18:30, hope the Airport has a decent Taverna

but just incase anybody likes tea or coffee, this might be useful info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Greece

Yes ..the very same, he is in Spain just now, but is going with another face you will know, Alan Morley aka Biggles, the plan is for us to meet up in Athens

You need lots of Gin like Dewell for it to make sense

Anybody who is going have any thoughts on a meeting point for the troops in Athens, Syntagma Square seems to be the main place in Athens, bound to be a good selection of bars around it, or tea and coffee shops if you are being sensible

Not booked one yet hope to get that sorted today, waiting for mate who is on Holiday (southern steel) to confirm if he is going, they will be travelling from london so trying to all get the same hotel. Had a quick look and there seems to be loads at reasonable rates

I thought Ramsden played well, looked good on the ball, even heard him shouting a bit and showing some leadership at the back, he looks to be worth a deal. As for Hatley he was in his best position yesterday at RB, our 1st choice back line should be Hatley, Saunders, Hutchison, Hammell, but Ramsden and Cummins looked to be a solid partnership yesterday as cover until Saunders and Hutchie are fit.

So based on that sumary of our chances you wont be bothering to go to the game as we have no chance..? Of the 4 teams we could have got, Panathinikos are probably rated 3rd in terms of ability etc so it was a good draw for us. We played well yesterday against a strong EPL team who i consider to be better than the Greeks so we have a chance, especially with the home leg 1st, keep a clean sheet and we have a great chance to get through. Winning this tie probably earns the club over a million pounds by guarenteeing another 8 games, so we need to believe it can be done.

I am going Prestwick - crete (Ryanair) then Crete - Athens (aegean) leaves Prestwick 06.55 Tues and in Athens at 18.30. Coming back on thurs Athens- London Heathrow (17.25 - 19.20) then BA back to Glasgow (21.00 - 22.20). All in £321 and no overly long waits at airports, and no stopovers required

The club charters are always dear..to be honest i think they try to recoup some of the official party and hangers on costs from the rest of the fans travelling. I hope thats not the case, you pay the premium for no hassle...all transfers..Glasgow to Athens direct etc. but is it worth around £300 extra i think not

Flights booked..bit of an adventure out Tues from Prestwick to Athens via Crete and then back Thurs,Athens-Heathrow-Glasgow but decent price at £321. Anybody recommend a decent hotel, preferably with other Well fans in it, central, near stadium etc

As a Motherwell fan these are the kind of games you want to be at....warm night,,champions league...and thousands of off their head greeks lobbing flares and smoke bombs...bring it on

Have the match dates as posted earlier been confirmed, ie 31/7 @19.45 and 8/8 @21.45 (greek time) ?

I need to get time off work sorted.. does anybody know if away leg is 7th or 8th August ?

Why ? Is there only 1 place on offer or do you think we wont finish 2nd or both ?

Good assessment....its between Motherwell, Dundee untd and Hearts for the Runners up and European places this season a 2nd appearance in the Champions league is up for grabs. I think Aberdeen may be the outside bet to improve on last season, the rest of the teams are also rans
