Anyone going to make the full house of matches in this campaign as in attend every home and away game. The only one I am not booked up to his Cyprus and I am thinking it would be an awful shame to just miss one so I am going to head to Cyprus. Anybody else in the same position.

rumour has it the cyprus match is to be played in larnaca - might not be a bad idea to look outside of limassol or ayia napa to stay for a change

I was in bits coming back on Friday and that was when I headed out on Tuesday. If I had of got my standby flight to Milan on Sunday I think I would have needed an ambulance to get home. My leg was in bits after the game on Saturday in the Singing Section and i woke up in pain Sunday mornin to decided to get my original flight on Tuesday. I dont regret it either. Cant wait for Bulgaria now and going to book Cyprus over next week or two.

According the FiFA site all of the Cyprus games have been in Larnaca - something to do with the sponsorship of the stadium.
We have booked up the Livadhiotis City Hotel in the centre of Larnaca for only £70 per night inc breakfast. Getting in on the Thursday and out on Sunday evening.
Bulgaria away booked, Montenegro and Italy at home all booked.

I was planning on doing all games home and away and all the friendlies, but I am in 2 minds over Cyprus away now. I will have to see how the rest of the trips go and play it by ear.

Yah have Bulgaria and Cyprus booked so most likely will make them all again.
Will of course make a playoff if we are in it. i believe Kiev is at its best in November. :D
Poor campaign from me this year!
Missed Georgia & Monty away double header as I just started a new job around
then and had already swung extra time off to get the Norway game in. I was also
out sick/injured for a few days inside the 1st month so didnt want to push it!
Not sure if I'll go to Cyprus this time around either.

made the full house on the last campaign and should make this one as well. the only trip not booked now is cyprus but its only about the size of laois anyway so it doesnt really matter where we stay there!
missin the flights home from italy cost us an extra €280 each so thats after affectin the budget and put off a couple of first timers that were with us and didnt understand that hardship is part and parcel of these away trips!:D

I too have been to all matches so far and intend to go to the rest except for Cyprus. Had a mad idea of going to Buenos Aires instead to see Argentina v Brazil, but the recession has put paid to that idea.
Flights and hotels for the remaining matches (Cyprus apart) have been booked and paid for. But it's not looking promising for me if we need to go to a play-off.

Rich Bast*rd, you should be ashamed of yourself for having so much money in a recession. I think we should all have a fun for people who cannot afford to go to games and we can all collect for the needy, so on average everybody gets at least one game per campaign whether they pay for it or not.

:D I was hoping to go to the Bulgaria match, but I have an exam that day. Anyone fancy swapping their ticket and journey costs for a Partial Differential Equations exam? It's a really fun subject, and it'll probably be far more enjoyable than the match. Please...
I'll even throw in a calculator. First come, first served.
