Yes Pete, they are bonded. The name of the company is Benz Travel, in London I believe they are based in Bayswater, and they organised the RISSC club trip to Moscow, very successfully.

Only one problem with that, is Uzbekistan is not part of UEFA and therefore neither Cork City FC or Ireland can play competitive games there.

does that mean that we could be described as western British republik of someone's choice??

incidentaly, it'll probably be the mighty Port Talbot Town in Wales who Derry City will have to fear in UEFA Cup next season.

Sounds good to me, just as long as its the champions league and not the poxy inter two-bob cup.

How about Belarus, Bosnia, Moldova, Lebanon, Albania or Bulgaria? Take your pick and say your prayers.
