Apparently the flu has just hit Ireland. What odds it'll be the yank strain? Coincidence?

eh, should'nt Boadicea be a Queen and the King really be Canute?, as in King Canute holding back the waves?

Canute is one of the people most misunderstood in modern culture. Canute ordered the tide to stop comming in because he was sick of his flunkies saying he was so great could do anything. Oh, and Macbeth was one of the most peaceful and well loved Kings Scotland ever had. This is not off topic by too much because you can see the land where all the women are beautiful and the men are handsome from the Derry coast on a good day so you could certainly see the fair land of Caledonia from the plane....

But anyway!

Who else is almost definite for the plane? Anyone?

Nah, cheaper to drive up from the big smoke & make a weekend of it.

mmm, i wonder where you could have picked that up

So anyway (again), back to the plane...

Names...

what are we talkin' .... if it is €200, i am not there, i'll drive and stay two nights, if it is lower i'll think about it, have all the "airlines" been checked ??

Don't give up the ghost on this one yet lads. We've had further interest from other parties and there will be fundraising efforts planned over the next few weeks.

I know the cost seems heavy, but i really look at this as a one off chance to get a group to the Brandywell. We won't be meeting them on the last day again for some time and (God forgive me for saying it) we may not get that European trip this year.

Hang in there.

Don't forget €200 is only£157. The way I see it, it would cost more than £157 to drive to Derry and stay 2/3 nights (aswell as it being a nightmare trip).

But the main thing is, it's a once-off trip.

I suggest that everyone who is anyway half interested come along to the next Supporters Club meeting (Tuesday 5th Feb, 8.30pm) and we can throw out some ideas.

But if we dont get to Europe then it would be the next best thing.

If this does come off .... then it should be all bells and whistles , video camera, photos .... flares and banger for up there, I'll dress up aswell if a few more do it. All out for this one.
