Is there not a possibility of the game taking place on the Tuesday 27th?

Yes, but sure you might get the same prices, it was just a post indicating that cheap flights are available, problem is the bus to Dublin is dearer

Correction ...a 50,000 capacity stadium that they'll never ever fill.

I'd rather see it against an African or European team.

At first glance I might agree.

But, Colombia have made a very good start to their World Cup qualifying campaign; two wins and two draws, with noteworthy home draw against Brazil and home win against Argentina. Furthermore, they've two qualifiers two weeks after proposed date.

Deduction: should be decent test.

What's the story with tickets? How did it work for the Unity Cup at Charlton?

tickets won't be a problem. Games at Charlton didn't sellout or come close. flights moving up already.

Got bmi into Heathrow for �100 incl t&c. Luton is cheaper but back through Heathrow means I can get back early Friday and and save a day's holidays.

Lads, which London airport would be the best one to go to (or does it really matter?)

**paul_oshea** · 28/02/2008, 8:57 AM

What about London City Airport?

No need to reply - see it's on the other side of the city to Fulham.

Its in East London, craven cottage is west london, so you could get the district line and circle line all the way way to craven cottage, but I spose its handier than luton or stansted in terms of craven cottage, but not heathrow.

look up this site, its pretty good:

tfl.gov.uk

you can enter in places/stations/post codes/streets and work out from there which is closest to craven cottage from which airport and/or where you are staying.

to be honest, the transport in London is pretty good, so no matter which airport ( bar stansted really ) you go to you will be in the airport in or around an hour.

Why bar Stansted? You can get to Tottenham Hale in 35 mins from Stansted or direct to Liverpool Street in 45 mins. It is very handy but certainly Heathrow is best if you want to get away from Craven Cottage quickly.

**NeilMcD** · 28/02/2008, 10:38 AM

Stanstead Express is a rip off.

ya sorry rock thats a fair point, if you are staying over the night then it doesnt really matter i spose. I was thinking that most people will prolly stay somewhere near craven cottage though and could have early flights or whatever.

Totenham hale and liverpool street are still a long way from craven cottage, tfl will tell ye that on a week day it takes betwee an hour and an hour and a half ( which will def be longer at weekends ), and that includes walking, a bus and tube to get there - from liverpool street.
