Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 12 May 2012 Share Posted 12 May 2012 That is painful, bad luck eh... I managed to get Eng tickets from Uefa's reselling platform - easy. Accommodation and camping are proving much harder though... Got our 10Euro a night camping in Donetsk sorted, still waiting for the Kiev Beach Club in Kiev to get their act together, and apparently (not the best source) the high speed trains won't be available to book until the end of May - http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g294474-i3663-k4981022-o30-High_speed_train_to_Donetsk-Kiev.html Hopefully it'll all be alright on the night...

thewarmanator Posted 12 May 2012 Author Share Posted 12 May 2012 Yep, 4 of us still heading out on Thursday 14. Know of about 15 or so other Leicester lads out there. They'll be more travelling out there than the newspaper makes out. Really looking forward to it, we'll do better than expected in my opinion. Can't see there being much trouble either. I was supposingly going to be shot at and raped in South Africa but came back in one piece. Can't wait! Nice one, I'm flying on the 14th as well, gutted I didn't book flights before the France match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep looks like high speed trains are bootable at the end of may. I have booked a couple of overnight trains, one from Kiev to Kharkov for the holland Portugal match and another from Kiev to donetsk for the quarter final. I need to book a high speed train for 24th to get back for the qf in Kiev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the overnight from Kiev to Kharkiv on the Saturday night, leaving at 22:25 (or around then). Not booked to go Donetsk yet - is that available yet? Last I looked it wasn't available.

wattolcfc Posted 12 May 2012 Share Posted 12 May 2012 There's 5 of us flying out on the 9th to Donetsk, got 5 nights there, 3 nights in Kiev for Sweden game and then another 8 nights in Donetsk including the night of the quarters (if we make it). Should be a good crack. Getting a new England flag done with 'When you're smilin'' on so if you spot it, give us a shout, be nice to see some City fans!

Leicester Rule! Posted 12 May 2012 Share Posted 12 May 2012 We're stopping in Euro 2012 Hostel in Kiev. And then some University Halls in Donetsk. As long as it's secure, I'm not too fussed about the accomodation. Don't plan doing much in there, just putting my head down for a few hours a night.

I need to book a high speed train for 24th to get back for the qf in Kiev I received my tickets the other day, and the official passport like Uefa info book states that Kiev - Donetsk on a train is 11hr45 - NO MENTION OF HIGH SPEED RAIL!!! Bit odd to say the least. I'm thinking about just booking overnighters - I looked on the Ukraine rail web site, sleepers were £10 return... Yeah we're in University halls for all of it... It's just a bed at the end of the day, don't plan on spending much time there! How much is four walls/roof? Me and my mate are camping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattolcfc Posted 12 May 2012 Share Posted 12 May 2012 £196 for 16 nights from June 9th. Not booked anywhere after the quarters incase we don't make it (as we probably won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Rule! Posted 12 May 2012 Share Posted 12 May 2012 If we win the group, I'll think we'll at least get to the Semi in Warsaw (hopefully beating the Paddies in the quarters). If we come 2nd, we'll lose in the quarters to Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 12 May 2012 Share Posted 12 May 2012 Out of interest have flight prices gone down now? A lot of the lads on the England forum thought they would. Ive not bothered checking. Im a bit mad at myself as id have enough caps for the final but once id found out I wasnt going the France game I decided I couldnt be arsed for any!

Leicester Rule! Posted 13 May 2012 Share Posted 13 May 2012 Ditto about trains mate, keep me posted if you see/find any info. I'll do likewise... You can book trains through here http://www.e-kvytok.ua/wps/portal, though it is all in Ukranian so you've got to have a guess at some of the questions, though most is self explanatory. We've booked ours from Kiev to Kharkiv. Note that the spelling of Kharkiv is Harkov and Donets'k is Doneck. Think all the routes are now on that site with the exception of Kharkiv to Donetsk, which I am 99% sure there is a route, just hasn't been released yet. The ticket option we have chosen you have to print off the receipt (which has a 16 digit code on) and exchange it 1 and a half hours before the train departs at the train station for a boarding pass. Think these overnight sleepers will be good fun, could have a right class night on one of those with a few beers! I'd recommend 2nd class (or 1st class). It's like £20 per person, but 3rd class looks like a right khazi and a carriage which is more suited for animals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to hold out for high speed rail, but am increasingly tempted to go for the 11hr45 option - like you say, could be a laugh...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 14 May 2012 Share Posted 14 May 2012 Still more than happy to piss about in Krakow for 10 nights than go to Ukraine. There'll be loads of English fans there in the fan zones and hopefully it'll be a good gig. Having said that i can see me waking up one mornin pissed out my face on a poverty wagon to Kiev.

leicesterlad1989 Posted 14 May 2012 Share Posted 14 May 2012 Sorry if its been posted elsewhere but on Sky Sports News at 7:30 this evening, there is a documentary/report about the Hooligans based in Ukraine. So any of you are off to the Ukraine like myself, may want to have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
