The Year Of The Fox Posted 18 November 2011 Share Posted 18 November 2011 Yeah same as World Cup mate but it all depends on how many caps you have. It's a lottery so I wouldn't get your hopes up! I know. I think I'll have enough. I'm currently in the top 10% of cap holders. I can't remember how many are dished out to the higher cap owners, though my mate with a bit of experience at this thinks 26 caps will be borderline. If I'm below the required amount, it is indedd as you say, a lottery. We're looking at either flying to prague then flying out to where the game will be played, or flying to Gdansk or Lodz and staying in one of theose areas. If not I'll book a trip with sport ops or the like. Much less hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOCCERROO FOX Posted 3 December 2011 Share Posted 3 December 2011 Euro won't be as good as the WC cos there is no Aussie fans But seriously if it is half as good as the WC it will be a cracking trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattolcfc Posted 3 December 2011 Share Posted 3 December 2011 Just a bit mate haha bit of a pain that the 2nd group game is in Donetsk though as I now have to go there twice Theres an overnight train from Kiev - Donetsk which is about £15 but is a 16hr journey. If you want to save on cash, that's probably your best bet. I've booked an apartment from the start to the quarters in donetsk (if we finish runner up we play there) and also booked a hostel in kiev for a couple of days for the sweden game. All in all £150 each up until the quarters aint bad. If the quarters are in Kiev we'll just go to the campsite thats there so i'm sorted. Can't WAIT!

I need to see how you book the high speed one that hasnt been built. I'm getting a flight from Donetsk to Kiev so I'm going to both quarters. Iv got an apartment right near the stadium in Kiev from the 14th to 25 so I'm sorted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 3 December 2011 Share Posted 3 December 2011 There are 4 of us booking our flights when the groups are announced December 2nd. If you all want to meet up out there for an unofficial foxes crowd then we can arrange it a bit closer to the date. Id be up for that. Do u know anything about these campsites in donetsk?

thewarmanator Posted 4 December 2011 Author Share Posted 4 December 2011 Id be up for that. Do u know anything about these campsites in donetsk? They haven't announced many details yet other than their will be 6000 spaces for fans and the facilities sound pretty good. I would imagine they will be bookable pretty soon.

Yeah the high speed train gets from Donetsk to Kiev in 5 and a half hours which is brilliant but like you said, it's not built yet! Looking at £30 for the journey aswel which isn't bad.

Looking at £30 for the journey aswel which isn't bad. It's cheap but each train will only have 600 seats meaning it will be hard to get a ticket. If found a return flight for £125 that I'm seriously considering booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratters Posted 4 December 2011 Share Posted 4 December 2011 You can book rooms at Donetsk university on www.select-a-room.com. They look very "soviet" but are cheap and available. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 4 December 2011 Share Posted 4 December 2011 I'm assuming with England being based in Krakow that there'll be a fair amount of fans going there to mix with them and watch them train etc. Will there be fan zones in Krakow? I think i'm going to make my way down to Kiev for the Sweden game and then get the train from there back to London. Takes about 3 days to get back, haha. Will be insane though. We'll stay in Krakow for the France game, maybe go to L'viv for the Germany v Portugal game as that's only 200 miles away and maybe sneak in Ireland v Spain on the Thursday in Gdansk if we don't get down to Kiev for the Sweden game. The more i'm reading about Ukraine the more i'm pretty glad we'll be holed up in the watering holes of Krakow, which are sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom17LCFC Posted 4 December 2011 Share Posted 4 December 2011 Really tempted to get a few of us out to Poland for a few days. Wouldn't be able to afford a trip into Ukraine for any of the games, but a few days in the bars and pubs in Krakow soaking up the atmosphere would be quality!

thewarmanator Posted 4 December 2011 Author Share Posted 4 December 2011 For the people asking about Donetsk camping see the link below. I have no idea how trust worthy this person is but they will book it for you for 20 euros and then the applicable daily fee http://www.adorableland.com/donetsk-camping-park-reservation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 5 December 2011 Share Posted 5 December 2011 Cheers. Don't fancy these campsites. Our flight home dictates that we need to be at the airport for 4am the day after the france game. I don't fancy having to find transport back to the campsite then back to the airport at those times. Given my experience of eastern Europe I also wouldn't trust the 24hr security and sod getting trains cross country! Know a couple of city fans who've booked those university digs. Ideal, though minimum stay is 3 nights, we need two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 5 December 2011 Share Posted 5 December 2011 Apparently to fulfill UEFAs criteria for hotels, Donetsk enlarged its city status radius by 250km. My mate says he found a website describing it as a mass of concrete, which pretty much describes coalville too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how trust worthy this person is but they will book it for you for 20 euros and then the applicable daily fee http://www.adorableland.com/donetsk-camping-park-reservation Just had my reply through in case anyone has seen my questions.. Hello Stuart, There is no Donetsk camping park official website and no one is going to create it as it is one-time project. As for me, I can just help you to reserve a place in the camping as our authority don’t care how football fan will reserve a place in the camping park without official site for booking. My fee is 20 Euro. If you agree, I'll send you the documents that are necessary for reservation.I can’t say the final price as the cost is depending on prepayment and the day of payment. Please, find prices here http://www.adorableland.com/donetsk-camping-park-reservation “would we be able to check into the site at about 2300?” I can tell you about this tomorrow. ‘How easy is it to get taxis or other transport into donetsk, or are there coaches being laid on to get people into town?” Usually it is easy to take a taxi. I’m sure taxi drivers will wait for you in the airport. For sure, it will be a lot of tourist in Donetsk, so local authorities will add additional transport. Kind Regards, Marina. Don't know whether to believe this or not, it is eastern Europe afterall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're part of the two other groups of city fans going on the same dates as us, there should be quite a few blue army! edit- I'm sure there was an official site for that camping place. I really don't fancy it though, can't be bothered travelling to and from all the time, especially when some of the lads want to be out looking for tickets the night before the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might spend an extra day in Donetsk the day before the quarter final but it looks like their isn't much to do there. Out of interest is anyone who will be in Kiev planning to go to Chernobyl?
