Are any of the London Foot.iers going to be in the Crown in Cricklewood
to watch this one?

I'm at a wedding there the day before so probably watch the game there
on the Saturday.

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?

**centreforward** · 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.

**Forever Dreamin** · 04/09/2006, 4:39 PM

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

**sandra** · 05/09/2006, 10:20 AM

did anyone go on the bus fromTHE STEP INN LIMASSOL last year ? Did it get you back after the game??

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.

I know looks like I`ll be watching that game in The Bhoys bar or Kellys so It,s not all bad.

**kevski1978** · 10/09/2006, 9:43 PM

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.

**kevski1978** · 11/09/2006, 9:28 AM

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 :-(

**Closed Account 2** · 11/09/2006, 11:19 AM

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 ?
