Nice, finally a half decent friendly, lets hope they put out a strong side against us.

 

[Mark24]

Excellent... a running track around the pitch to make us feel at home...

 

[crodonilson]

Should be a high profile game in Portugal with us playing an EPL side and will hopefully raise our profile over there.

Plenty of time to save up then... I am so there!

Yes, crap hole! All day breakfasts, dodgy tattooists and OIrish pubs.

Villamoura is where you want to stay. It's about 15 mins by cab away.

-is anyone else thinking that between Brighton/Sunderland and locals this game could sell out fast. Be a bummer to get out there only to not be able to see the game

has anyone been to albufeira before?

Garry Mann!

A Birmingham City supporter and father of six, Mann was drinking with friends in a bar in Albufeira when a riot involving about 100 football fans began in a nearby street. He was arrested, tried and convicted within 48 hours.

In a word NO

What tube line is Albufiera on?

 

[Springal]

Does anyone know what the priority will be for tickets? I am not a member of the schemes but I saw us play Man City and went to Villa Park so should automatically get tickets, my grandad was also a season ticket holder up till 15 years ago
