Special aka

Black Sea resort ? Which woud also work for Kiev, if you holidayed around Odesa ..... 200 mile train trip to Kiev tho, or internal flight.

Almost a home game for you Max

My preference from the current 4 is Kiev. Just looks logistically better; city centre stadium(s), and plenty hotels/restaurants/bars in condensed central area. Then Copenhagen, (beer prices apart), Athens then Istanbul, although the possible temperatures in the final 2 really does worry me. If Brugge gets added ............... then that's the one for me by a mile.

Are you coming accross for the game ?

Better padlock the buckets, what with a couple of thousand Scousers on the loose

Long gone are the days of having any expectations. Following Motherwell for over 40 years has been a rollercoaster ride worthy of a place in any top ranking funpark. The last decade has been incredible, so many nails bitten and so much hair lost, yet 2 Cup Finals, 7 european ties and a Champions League tie in 2 weeks. The furthest thing from my mind when trailing round the First Div in the early 80's With Motherwell, expect the unexpected

Wee payment sent from the frozen north via Dublin to God's Country. The wonders of electronic fund transfer Edit: Well done organising this Brazilian

It's much needed game time, the result doesn't matter.

Bearing in mind I've been a full package customer for 20yrs, (and SKY home phone/wi-fi for a yr), I phoned up to cancel SKY Sports. When I was asked why I told them that it was due to speculation that they were to reduce their contribution to SPL, and that if at future date that comes to fruition I would be cancelling my whole package .............. over £80 a month currently. I was told that nothing had been confirmed yet, (but they had received many similar calls), and that due to my loyalty they would give me SKY Sports free for 3 months, in the hope that I wished to reconsider. I reiterated my intention to 'bin' them if they 'bin' us, and asked them to note it on my account and pass this info up the line.

:laugh: almost chocked on my afternoon cuppa reading that. Just hope my sister doesn't see it, else my nephew aint coming with us. East and West of Bosporus are like different countries, with different cultures. On the more Conservative east bank, a peely-wally Jock in a kilt with a sunburnt coupon, drippin in sweat, smelling of dairy, and with a dead beaver sporran aint gonna be confused as Bom-Bom

Another talented youngster stolen from us by the Tims. Was he an Ancell Babe then ? RIP Joe

We've got a 1 in 4 chance of drawing Fenerbache, if they don't get lobbed out. Besides Galatasaray play in red and yellowy gold ................ not claret & amber, and if you wear a kilt with your Well top this will definitively identify you with MFC and not the Club from accross the Bosporus

That was my thought initially. However, have been talking to a Turk at work who says it is not as bad as is sometimes portrayed. Look for trouble and you will find it. Be respectful and you will be made very welcome.

Think it's still decision pending mate. Hope tae fekk its sorted before next Friday.

If you know you're gonna be quids in, why not put the trip on tik ?

9 week backlog apparently

New Emloyers are duty bound to honour prior holidays.

What's the concensus ? Are folks going regardless or are some going dependant on who we draw, and are some assuming an immediate exit and opting for EL trip ? 3, (maybe 4), of us biting the bullet and going regardless, although quite how we get there remains to be seen

I would have thought Champions League was a greater lure than Coventry City. No doubt the Agent don't see it that way.

but a lot dearer .............. and hotter. Brugge would more than likely present more Well fans with the opportunity to attend, and that has to be a good thing.

I've got my own Membership, but got paid on Friday so I'll fire you over a wee something to help things along.

If one has online banking, one can set up a D/D if provided with sort-code and account details from MFC.

Most pubs per head of population in Europe apparently. Ferry from Rosyth or Hull to Zeebrugge would be a fine adventure. Went Newcastle to Ijmuiden for the Utrecht game. Cheap booze on the o/n ferry meant a rough 1st day in Amsterdam tho !

Agreed .............. there's a lot I'd like to contribute to, but with a CL trip in the next few weeks and the purchasing of a Player's Training gear and hopefully a Season Ticket and Brick and CL ticket its a hell of a hit on the Pension Fund in the space of a few weeks. £5 a month D/D for the Lotto would be my preference and besides it would give £8 more to the Club.

I hope I am not speaking out of turn, but I made an enquiry regarding joining the MFC Lotto. I got a response on Friday intimating current work was underway to facilitate online subscription.
