I got a double bed booked for the Thursday night in a Holiday Inn Express by a roundabout in Valencia if anyone needs a bed for the night, 40 Euros for the delight of hearing me snore, contact me by Thursday morning before I get on the plane.
Just booked the Holiday Inn Express, there are 3 in Valencia, the one by the roundabout Passeig de l'Albereda. Think I might have a double bed so one Well fans gonna have a lucky night, willing to go halves on the 80 euros price of the room.
Compared with my only other trip to Athens in 1988 with England the old bill were very good IMHO, wait until you get to meet the Spanish police, far far worse.
9.5hrs not bad for 400miles, the quickest I've done it is 7hrs.
All booked up out of Gatwick on Thursday morning, £280, any other southerners get in now before price goes up.
GrahamH- thanks for the offer of a lift from Madrid. Am I correct in saying the fast train from Madrid to Valencia takes 90mins but is a steep 80€ ?
Last night was Panathiniakos's 251st European club tie, it was Motherwell's 24th, they were in the quarter finals of the Champions League a few years back, losing 5-0 is no disgrace, 6-0 yes but not 5.
I've put me name in the ballot.Never failed to get into a game yet when turning up without a ticket including Champions League Semi Final,Scotland/England at Hampden and Bucharest away.
I was at Ryans bar from early afternoon till just after 5pm and saw no trouble.There were 3 plain clothes Danish old bill in attendance at the bar and they were more concerned about the local Palestinian population dealing drugs.
The casuals were on both my planes going and coming back and on the train from Aarhus to Odense and were impeccably behaved,no hassle whatsoever.
Which member of the East of Scotland branch is gonna be kind enough to buy me a ticket ?? They've just announced on the radio a BAA STRIKE which might start on 19th August !!
