Portugal plans

[hailshamseagull]

i stayed there last year,its ok has a nice late bar which goes on till about 5am.But the apartment we had did not have any beds so hope you aint got a studio apartment if you are wanting beds there
last year we booked through thomas cook £280,but this year i booked myself seperately and paid only£200
the jardim is right up the top of a massive hill ok going down heading to the bars but not great if you want to stagger home,but saying that there are lots of taxis available in the old town and strip area

i think the banks bar is a good meeting point as is only 300m from my hotel!!! i have now remember where it is

Thanks mate, look forward to stubbling up the hill, hopefully have a bed even if it is only to crash on for a couple of hours haha!

Let the portugal fun begin, can't wait to meet up with you fellow Albions!

Well done judewri, is this from the OS?

So i think we need to move our meet up time forward, 5pm at the Bank Bar? does that suit everyone?

EDIT: it is on the O/S on the pre season schedule.

Thats more like what i thought it would be, i paid around 30-35 euros last year from Faro. So can we start a list for whos meeting at Banks Bar at 6pm? I'm sorry if i seem a little eager but with less than a week til most of us start arriving we need to get this sorted.

Those who have indicated that they will meet so far

Ecosse Exile
Albalbion
Beach Hut
Mattrickets
KNC?
Middletoenail?

please feel free to add your names.

Then Maybe we can head up to the Sports Bar by the ground, i know that MalcolmPoskettsPockets and 2 or 3 others will be there.

I am taking middletoenail and Capt pugwash across in my car

 

[judewri]

Thats fair enough mate, i know Beach Hut and Burrish Gull are sorted too now but it would still be good to have a meet up and the rest of us can also sort out our plans.

There are 16 of us going, be good to meet up. Meeting at Banks bar - was that for the Wednesday? If so, let me know where it is and we'll head there. I imagine we'll get there about 4.

I have just seen those times on the club fixtures page - i.e 7.30pm for all three fixtures. I'd be a bit cautious about that...I went last year and they kicked off a bit later than that if my memory serves me correctly. The later kick offs makes it a bit coller as it was bloody hot there last year.

think it was for the tuesday mate, before the spurs game, someone mentioned five i think, but im sure an extra hours drinkin wont do us any harm if we're there for four

 

[burrish-gull]

For those that dont know, Bank bar is on the corner of the square and bar street, you wont miss it.
4pm onwards is fine by me.

[MENTION=13279]C17BHA[/MENTION] is my memory playing tricks or was it originally earlier kick off then moved back to 9pm last year?, i thought i must have imagined that until you mentioned it.

 

[judewri]

been no mention of watching training on thursday as originally stated.... oh well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Look out for the Jolly Roger, outside the bar.

 

[KNC]

We'll be there or thereabouts

 

[Chris Wright]

We're the Olhanense Expat Fans Group (300+) and can assure you of a warm welcome in Olhao (15 minutes from Faro). 23rd July KO 7.00pm and admission is 10euros (50% is being donated to the Portuguese Red Cross). We're producing 1000 souvenir 16page programmes (in English) and a limited edition scarf featuring the new Seagulls logo. We meet in Tiago & Ines Bar opposite the ground at least two hours before kick-off where a bottle of beer is ONE euro! We can meet earlier with our Portuguese friends for a late lunch if there is sufficient demand. A few of us will be coming over to Albufeira for the Spurs XI game so hope to see some of you there. Obrigado.

 

[C17BHA]

Thanks for that info Chris...so the 7.30pm kick off time on the official websiye is clearly not correct for this game then !

Is Banks Bar going to be the "barmy army" meeting up place for the whole week?
we touch down Thursday night
