Supersyd

The fewer the numbers the closer knit everyone is (not in a gay way of course)! Think back to the 80's and those midweek matches at Bristol, Cardif etc etc when just a few 100 went down, you got a massive buzz knowing that you had made the effort, it felt f*cking good. This trip will be 10 times over.

Over 3200 people have viewed this thread, but only 400 going!

1 plane from club - 250, so 750 making their own way there, I hope so but doubt it.

I think the plane holds approx 250.

375 / 400

Its looking very bleek on the numbers front, there are still 31 places left to fill on the 1st plane. Only 1 person booked on during the whole of today - piss poor. Revised numbers going overall - 375 / 400. COME ON LADS.

So if I take my Visa or Matercard it allows me to withdraw Denars from an ATM? I dont have to go to a Bank in Skopje or bring any money with me it can all be withdrawn at an ATM? Are there plenty of ATM's on the main square or near it?

No times given as yet for the return, but I expect, up at 3.00am, first drink 4.05am, first warning on the plane from a Tufty steward 6.05am, second warning 6.20am, land their time 10.30am (a guess), coach 11.00am, town sqaure 12 noon (after the usual fannying around), eat a goat keebab at 4.30pm, well sessioned by 7.30pm, in ground at 7.55pm, half time warm turnip with a knob of butter 8.46pm, coach to airport 10.30pm, flight 1.00am (a quess), no warnings needed from Tufty steward as totally bollockst' and asleep, land 3.30am our time, bed 4.30am, in work 10.00am Friday. Hope that clears it up for you Casino.

From TMG: For your information the outbound flight is MON 8028 which departs Terminal 1, Manchester at 06:00 hrs. Please report to the check in desk between 04:00 hrs and 05:15 hrs. If you chose to obtain a match ticket through TMG then this will be handed to you during the outbound flight. First beer of the day 4.05am then....................MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!

Me + 4 with TMG.

At least we have ample tickets and a plane going direct to the match, Tottenham & Everton are not so lucky. From the TMG Website - Tottenham Hotspur, 2007/08 UEFA Cup campaign Anorthosis Famagusta v Tottenham Hotspur It is with regret that due to the small amount of tickets made available for this game, we have unfortunately had to make the decision to cancel the tour. All monies paid will be refunded back to the credit / debit card used to make the booking. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. .......................... Everton, 2007/08 UEFA Cup campaign Metalist vs Everton It is regret that we are having to cancel the tour to the Ukraine TMG had chartered a UK based aircraft to fly into Kharkov but unfortunately the air strip does not comply with stringent UK safety regulations, therefore the carrier has refused to undertake the flight programme. Currently there are no other aircraft available that can operate into Kharkov and therefore it is with regret that we have decided to cancel the tour. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused and hope to operate flights in the groups stages. .......................... You never know what can happen so my advise to anyone thinking of waiting until the group stages to go, DONT, we might not get through or if we do we might end up with 2 Teams who dont allow planes!! or the ground is too small!! - MAKE THE MOST NOW.

The 'Official Travel Club - TMG' plane still isn't full, there are still 32 places left and this is the first plane! COME ON WHERE IS EVERYONE HIDING????? My revised estimate on numbers going - 450 / 500 at a push, assuming they dont cancel the bloody plane.

.........sad I know, but heres the latest count - now only 44 places left on the plane. Filling up nicely.

Come boys lets have some more!! Whats with the Vardar 'sway', looks a bit mincy to me.

Did you get a 'voucher' with it? ...........OK no comments like, "Yes, a Woolies voucher" etc etc.

Yep, myself and 3 on the 'Tufty' Club trip, only viable option to us after Happy cancelled. Just went on the TMG Website and as of now there are 57 places left on the plane (I assume its the 1st plane, cant see it being a second one), not sure how many seats the plane has but its some way of being full. Today is the last day for season ticket holders to book. Its then open to all others. I would assume over the weekend the plane will be full, fingers crossed. I would hope the plane still goes even if there are some seats left!! If only 1 plane + independants I would estimate a following of 400 - 500, piss poor really as it may be BWFC last ever trip to Europe (hoping not - but could be).

2 Hours ahead, so KO I imagine wil be 9.45 pm local time to fit in with TV in UK for 7.45 pm KO UK time.

I assume your taking the p*ss, if 10 blokes, 4 flairs, 5 scarfs is supossed to be huge support I dont know what is!!

Happy - A Wednesday night stay as previous trips would be nice assuming they have hotels, if not Im happy to stay in a traditional caravan.

Any idea what crowds these lot get? The ground is split, 11,000 main stand, 4000 the other side & 1500 behind each goal, depending on their crowds if low we will prob get the side, 4000 or if they get decent crowds then behind the goal, 1500!

Not sure how I feel. I think I will clap the fat geezer from Dudley, only quietly though and just 2 claps max (just to thank him for taking us to Sunny Beach), then when the whistle goes for KO, thats it he is the enemy from here on in and I feel Im going to give him some sh*t, not sure what I will be shouting, it depends on how many scoops I have. Whats everyone else's thoughts?

O bugger!!!!!!!!!

Just announced on Sky Sports News.

For F.S why doesn't he just bring Freddy with him and they all can sit down together and have a nice cup of tea....JESUS!!!!!!!
