Your best of getting it from credit union they have better rate.
I got mine last week , changed 300 euro and got 550 Lev. Ill have bank card for back up if need but at 3 lev a drinks should be ok.
The rate was 1.83 Lev to �1 in credit union
In the banks it was was 1.75.
Took credit union week to get Lev in, ring your local credit union and order it today , if your not in credit union just ring and quote a family or friend name that is a member in your local credit union , thats what we did

Are you going for over a month?:eek:

Pints a euro each on average, grub bound to be reasonably priced outside the main gafs, say 6/7 euros for a good feed, 3 of those a day. Everything within walking distance if your in around the centre. Maybe 20 - 30 euros each night for when your ****ed and cant remember what mad drinks and other things you were paying for.

So I'd say handy 60/70 a day, and be doing well to spend that.

good man galah, get tanked up there isn't much seats in gatwick terminal in fairness, so get into wetherspoons and just lap on their couches if you can get away with it!

when did they get rid of oneills in Gatwick hornet? did they replace it with wetherspoons?! Didnt think it was that long ago I was there!!

There is a Wetherspoons is the south terminal but no O' Neills anymore. I havent been in the North terminal in an awful long time, so I cant comment on that.

However, the south terminal is being re-vamped and the security area is a mess now so give it extra time, if you are passing through during peak hours.

I know a little off topic but jesus that is one thing I hate about the UK is the idea of pub chains. O Neils and wetherspoons and the like. Horrible horrible places.

ya you are right, atmosphere wise they are generally full of chavy types, like hornet etc. Having said that i have a loyalty card for oneills in liechester square because i go there a "bit" too ofren and its a good spot, especially if its a weekend and you are on the lookout. But your point is correct, these places are crap and close around 11.30 and have no atmosphere what so ever, that oneills down in Putney is a perfect example big open space but boring even when it was full of celtic fans for those matches. The bigger issue is its all brewery owned, not many freehouses to be honest and those that are are generally dingy Irish pubs ( though I like dingy Irish pubs!!). Porterhouse is the only freehold i can think of in London thats any good.

jasus lad, might have to review your position on powers tours after hearing about that loyalty card, i'm barred from o 'neills on lester square, and it was all in self defence, o 'neills is the most un irish bar you will ever get, may as well be drinking in an 'Edwards' or 'King George'

Given the fact that most people seem to be facilitated by the FAI, I think 5,000 is a huge over-estimation. It's June, it's recession time, it's not a glamour opposition or destination, so the leprechauns will swerve it.

Should we get a good result, (a first in Sofia) it's probably best that everyone lie low on the Saturday night, so that they don't attract "attention" from pised-off home fans. Eastern Europeans are not known for taking defeat very well.

Heres hoping for an away win!!!

I know a good few lads who got really cheap packages to Bari at the very last min, am thinkin of tryin this option as there isnt a chance of me booking anything else this late. Probably a long shot for this game but if any of ye hear of packages going cheap let me know!!!
