Hotel booked. Staying 2 nights in Manchester then 3 nights in Liverpool. Still need to book flights to Manchester but some other factors involved in that one at the moment. Thanks Simontheseagull for the Travelodge tip-off!
Now for match tickets. Not expecting to get Liverpool tickets but...
Looks like quite a journey. Have you got Burnley tickets sorted out John? I'm hoping to be there too. If I can get two tickets I'll be taking my nephew for his first ever Albion experience. Keeping fingers crossed that we don't sell out our 2500 allocation before they go on general sale.
A 5-0 defeat at Grimsby in 1983! It wasn't easy being at school up there after that. My school provided the ballboys that day so we all had free tickets but I had to sit with all my mates in the home end. It was horrible.
Two years later and a Terry Connor hat-trick saw us recover from 2-0 down...
Why does it matter? I thought 2nd, 3rd and 4th were all guaranteed a CL place without having to qualify. There's just kudos and prize money to play for behind Citeh.
Is there anyone on NSC who lives in Algiers? I'm sure I saw someone on Facebook the other day but I can't find the post now! Thought this would be a good place to ask!

Pleased to have helped some Brighton fans out in the farce that preceded the Girona friendly in Palamós. After the match it was great to meet the Barcelona Brighton Boys, even if one of them was a Spanish Leeds fan!!
Ha! Come to Spain where the rules are completely different anyway!!
An explanation is given here: http://www.ibexinsure.com/news-item/how-to-drive-in-a-roundabout-in-spain
Play-offs continue until 25 June!
And on the subject of former Albion players, Fran Sandaza will finally get to play at the top level of football after signing a new one year deal with Girona as they make their debut in La Liga next season.
