Just wondering, what's the overall cost of this going to be - travel, tickets for the game, accommodation + spending money - we are looking at £425 basic right??

The £425....you have an "eat as much as you want" BF so wont need lunch, so whatever you drink and eat in the evening really fella.

I chuck a few cases of beers on the coach for the games...and some soft drinks too.

The day trip to Berlin will be around 25 euros.

Its what you want it to be...some will have a maccy ds each night and a couple of beers so will only do a score a day.

In Salzburg...i did £175 on the first day but i was thirsty 8-)

Considering the ryanair prices from Sweden to the UK are 15.99 for a single at the moment it's probably cheaper if I just get a cheap return. How many fans do we take to these pre-season games usually?

Chas

Just a thought, I've got no idea where Cottbus is in relation to Leipzig, but if it's do-able by coach is there any chance of extending the Blitz trip include that game plus the Dresden one mate? Notice it's 2.30 kick off so might even be able to get same flight back that night? If I had to do two games I'd rather do those two together than the Erfurt one, plus it's one or two less days off work with no pay :raver:

Its all sorted...we can come back on the same flight as arranged.

There will be an extra charge of £30 each to cover the coach for the last game though.

I don't think Cottbus has much going for it...under the Tripadvisor things to do there are 2 places :

The top one is the football stadium :lol:

I think it's very important you offer a joint option for the two German trips and the Austrian visit.............just so you can title it as
THE HAMBUSTERS! :D
