hammy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looking up all possible avenues. Spending near enough a grand on Athens means this trip will be looking for as cheap as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser30 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Provided the away leg is on the 30th, I'll be in Spain anyway. We're hiring a car and travelling through on the morning of the game. Wee bit further away than I first thought (2.5 hours as opposed to 1 hour) but just make a wee pitstp somewhere along the way. Wife has found a hotel for £30 just over half a mile from stadium. Please let the home/away ties be confirmed as is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_mfc Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 That's me booked! Can't really afford it but missing out on Athens has made me want to make up for it. Flying out at 7:15 from Glasgow on the Wednesday with Jet2 to Alicante, coming back home on the Friday night with Ryanair from Barcelona to Edinburgh at 9pm Spanish time. All in £130! Train from Valencia to Barca on the Friday morning is only around 35 euros, think the bus is even cheaper. Currently going on my tod, so holding off for a week or two on booking accomodation incase any other nigel nae pals from here are stuck.

Coolhandluc Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Any word on ko time. Might need to fly out thurs so worried if early evening ko ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamH Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 IMO there's no chance of an early ko. Spanish teams tend to play later in the evening but I think this will be a 2045 ko (GMT+1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JULIANTHELONDONCABBIE Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 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€ ?
