Albion fans going out to Brazil?

[Mr Blobby]

Any other Albion fans heading out to Brazil for the World Cup? Would be good if we could get a few Albion fans together for a few beers.

We fly out to Lisbon on Monday 9th and then to Manaus on the 10th as having a few days in the Amazon before the Italy game.

Got changeable flights back from Rio after the first knock out game on the 30th June.

There will be a few of us at various stages, 8 Brighton, 1 Birmingham, 1 Aston Villa! Been shopping ready for it today so starting to get excited.

Have all internal flights sorted and hotels/apartments booked for the three weeks, cost was not as bad as expected. So far about £2.5k for everything which includes flights from London-Lisbon-Manaus-Sao Paulo-Belo Horizonte-Rio-London , 2 x 3 night trips into the amazon and a further 17 nights accommodation including a night in Lisbon. Planning all done, come on June 9th!

The Thomson Sport (official travel) has a trip from 12-26th June and the price is FROM £6,995!!!! or you can do the second 2 group games from 18-26th June for £4,995.

Doing quarters / semis / final via the states. It was my girlfriends idea. Probably about 7 grand for two of us so far and that with pretty decent hotels.

Unfortunately my girlfriends dad is very ill so will have to cancel the whole thing if worse comes to the worse at that time! Not sure I would get much of the money back.

You could donate them to me. I can't pay anything but would promise to spunk it all in style.

 

[Miami Seagull]

This will be the first time the Miami Seagulls flag has not been at a world cup for many a year. Had tickets but just cant afford all the travel and time off this time.

Perhaps you should send the flag to someone who is going. Mind you how big is this flag.?

can't even be bothered to watch it on the TV let alone travel that far for it.

I imagine the first world cup in Uruguay was pretty unaffordable for most away fans as well

 

[Southern Scouse]

Cuidado gente!

the Florida bar in Rio. The local ladies are very friendly in there

Ah shame. It's the closest it's been to you for a while too!

 

[southstandandy]

Would love to go but like many I just ain't got the money!

Doing Miami instead for 8 days as one of our group emigrates to Australia in July and couldn't stretch to the £3k or so for a week in Brazil we were looking at

Travelling abroad to WCs and Euros has never been cheap, though.

Have a good'un mate. I'm...well you know.....gutted doesn't describe it.

Trip of a lifetime. Good on you fella.

It's not though is it?? It's a once every four year trip sandwiched between-ed a belly load of beer all over Europe. Ask Mr Blobby where he has been following (a poor excuse of a football team) England and he'll "bore" the arse off you....mainly because quite a few of those trips I've been there to point at things. Following England for anyone that hasn't done it on a regular basis is an interesting experience and something I wouldn't put anyone off doing but be warned it can be a challenge at times.

They can't is the short answer....but that is an issue with football in general as opposed to the world cup or fifa.
