I am going out on the Tuesday with TMG and return in the early hours of Thursday morning. Cost was around £440 including VISA. Riegate is right about Vienna. Thomas Cook are the offical travel partner of the FA and the cost is £199 for the day trip.

Good grief STEVE are you MADE of money?

I can't believe people would pay that much just for a game of football.

To be honest the football is only 3 hours of the trip, its about going away with mates, getting pissed and perving at Eastern European women!

£330 fo the trip to Russia. With another £45 on top for the frickin Visa! Would like to have gone for longer, but that place is expensive!

330 seems a lot. I'm going for 8 days and it is all booked up and only costing me 900 pounds for me and Frau Tubthumper. Are you travelling independently?

Based on the reviews sounds like the day trip was a good option!

its an alright city. i went from egypt where i lived to london to leeds from leeds to moscow via milan. only for the game to be cancelled due to a frozen pitch. we were staying in some government compound with no heating. the temperatures never hit zero the whole time we were there, the government would not allow the heating to be turned on and we were on the 54th floor of a sky scraper that had no lift. we drunkenly decided sleeping in the foyer was the best idea only to be moved on by the scruff of our necks at gunpoint by the police.

still, good old ridsdale. leeds are made of money and he refunded us the whole lot.

Nobody I know goes for just the football! I cant believe some people pay £200 to go away to sit on a beach, eat English food and drink imported English beer!

Once you have followed England abroad it becomes a hard habbit to break!

Estonia was my 70th away game, been going away since 1990. Russia will be country number 49!

One day I will get to visit every country in the World!!!!!! Well you have to have a goal in life!!!!!!!

I enjoyed Moscow good city there's something for everyone.
If you take the underground write your destination down in russian before you go as there are no english signs its all cyrillic (or certainly was), its an eye opener after the expensive shit London tube.

There are many dodgy bars with young ladies looking for rich westerners if you get out of the city centre.

Just remember the city of Moscow is huge.

What with Braceys Stag weekend and two Enlgand trips I won't be made of money much longer :-(
I don't get this. Half of Bracey's mates haven't got a pot to piss in, and yet he's off to Stuggart for copious ale drinking. I can't go myself cos it's too expensive. :(

Do I know you, btw?

Friday 16th November Av Austria 9pm ko local time

6,000 allocation to England, to be used as a warm up to the European Championships and a test of how they cope with large numbers of travelling fans.

For our qualifier out there a couple of years ago we only got 2,200 tickets, so it will be a much bigger test of security measures.

Tickets are priced at just £7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
