Does this mean that the application forms have been sent out to those that applied for them? If yes, when is the closing date for the receipt of the completed application forms? I'm out of the country at the moment so I haven't seen any post sent to my address in the past couple of weeks.

�55 Really is taking the michael, price just goes up and up every time we get them. Around �15 for locals....available at the stadium if you have a nice tan and speak Cyprusese.

Yeah 55 is a joke of a price for such a game.

We should all just buy our tickets out there.

Anyone know any hotels located near The Step Inn, ideally between there and the beach.

Re: Tickets

I am thinking of sending my application form back to the FAI with a note saying that I wanted my name added to the list of those who are travelling and that I will buy my ticket out there.

The FAI should lodge a complaint about this. �55 is blatant robbery based solely on the fact we bring a large following. The island should be grateful for the end of tourist season business boost we have brought two years in succession

agree with you on this one

I was just reading there how Liverpool have stated that they will fight against having to travel to Israel for their qualifying Champion League match. When it was put to them that maybe Cyprus was a possible venue the club secretary said "Cyprus is not an option because of the amount of people who have come out of Lebanon who are there."

I'm not sure exactly what the implication is. Is he stating that he feels it's unsafe, too crowded, what? I suppose we should consider any reservations they might have in light of our game there in early October.

The obvious implication (besides the hint that Benites is out to press home any advantage) is that the people who have been forced to leave their homeland might find a focus to protest their "discontent" against the Israeli team or at the game. Whilst it is a remote threat to Liverpool, any possible disruption resulting in a cancellation of the game would be an inconvenience, to put it mildly.

Absolutely, I still have 2 spares from last year, couldnt give them away!! Had a fantastic time all the same, stayed in Protarus, flew with Libra holidays I think direct from Belfast. Every hotel was running bus trips with tickets for less than i paid for the tickets through the FAI at home :mad: Wont make that mistake this time!!!

a warning to anybody who booked flights only to cyprus with helios airways from dublin direct, they have since changed there names to Ajet and when they made change,some of the names on flights disappeared too..Ours went AWOL and there was 4 of us..No notification was given and we could have ended up at dublin early october and no record of names..So anybody who done same, better check up the airline Ajet

What airport are most flying into?What airline would people reccomend aswell as accomodation?
02/09/2006, 9:54 AM

I`d say a lot would be landing in Larnaca as it`s more central to all the main resorts like Limissol/Paphos about 45/60 mins drive to the west side of the island and Ayia Napa/Protaras 25/35 mins drive to the east side of the island.Nicosia is about 50/60 mins drive north.As for accommodation try this web site http://www.beds4all.com I got a week in the Euronapa hotel/apartments in Ayia Napa for Euro 130.This will be my 7th time in Cyprus and I have to say this is the best price I have ever got.Hope this is of some help.

Slovakia beat them 6-1, we beat them 1-0 (true, it was a year ago, a different manager). We need to pull it together, at least for goal difference's sake

I'm on BA into Larnaca from Heathrow but recommend the cheapest airline you can get.

We stayed in Larnaca in the Onisillos Hotel

http://www.onisillos.com.cy/

and are going back there again. It's cheap, clean and very friendly. It is close to the beach. However most of the Irish stayed elsewhere last time. Limassol and Aya Napa were the popular choices.

Last year we made the mistake of staying in Larnaca, which was absoloutely dead. Taxis to Limassol were about €100 and Aya Nappa not much cheaper. Limassol was much better IMO, definitely staying in Limassol this time

Beside the Obvious 3 or 7 night with the Rip off Travel Agents??

Also will tickets be hard to get for the game??

Tickets will be no problem. Stadium won't be half full.

I reckon the Travel agents will have to cut their prices to maybe only a 50-75% markup on a normal week in Cyprus in October but you never know.

Best to search for a cheap flight and make your own way.

Anyone need match tickets?

Hi lads, good chance my folks won't be able to make the Cyprus trip freeing up 4 tickets if anyone interested....

They got their notification from FAI the other day.

False alarm - retraction

Sorry guys, my folks have now spoken to the FAI as they can't go and they have cancelled their allocation, so no longer have tickets I'm afraid :-(

Any chance we can do a headcount on which city everyone is staying ?

Guessing it's a choice between

Limmasol
Larnaca
Nicosia
Agia Napa
Pahpos

Any chance of some sort of poll ?
