The breakfast staff should have it a little easier unless everyone's still in the bar when they arrive!

The airport taxi drivers over there are notorious for ripping people off. A fair number of the reports I read about the place commented on this.

Only need to get tickets sorted now. Expecting to get the app form soon.

I got that letter back today from Ticket Office F.A.I , just filled it out and posted it back , so fingers crossed
What time is the Bulgarian flight leaving London on the Friday ?

(Apologies if this was posted already but there is nothing in the Summary Thread.)

The KO for Sofia appears to be 20:30.
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/prelimi...479/index.html
"...06/06/09 20:30 Sofia Bulgaria - Republic of Ireland ..".

I didn't see that information on the Bulgarian FA website.

Cheers for that.

(You're probably on the Summary Thread editor's ignore list or something.)

After Edit:
Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) replied to an email confirming 20:30 aswell.
Like the BBC I just need one last reliable independent source and I'll be content about the ko time.

surely you've been convinced to stay in the sveta sofia by reading the last few posts alone?

theres a few going �ber chic and staying in the Hotel Les Fleurs, which does look nice. Radisoon is another option. i was gonna stay at hotel downtown, but seemed a few staying in sveta.

i'm by myself on this trip (unless i hear otherwise) so this was one of the cheapest options but also good location.

Lads I am going to be in the Sveta and as you have seen above there is a good few others here too. My mates are flying over on the Friday but I will be there on the Thursday. I usally have a few beers with Sligo Hornet Moscow Mule, Saint Tom Babysis and Green Tribe and the Humpmeister and a good few others so if you wanna meet up and have a few beers free free to. If you think I am a cnut no problem too.
