ah piffle! its what dreams are made of heyburn!!!... anyone want to stay at rea towers??? surprisingly comfortable floor after 15 pints of belgian premium

[colinh]

15 pints of spew from the fifteenth floor could be an enticing proposition unless you are underneath it all..

Well Jamesie (as honorary spokesman of the London Branch of UAFC) with less than 6 months to go before we invade what plans are afoot??

Saracens - but can anyone tell me where to find a cheap flight home on the Monday (18th Dec) . Flybmi seem 2 b up 2 £66. wud prefer city airport but Aldergrove (international?) will do at a pinch. Theres a pint in it for the person who finds me the cheapest flight by 1st august. Cheers

[Rooster]

HM, perhaps your problem with a cheap flight on Monday 18th is the fact that Sunday is the 18th and Monday is the 19th
If you fly Sleasyjet with the rest of us plebs on Friday to Sunday you can still do it for £58.98 including train fare from Luton

[browner]

The game against Sarries may well be a Sunday fixture, as their opening match against Biarritz is scheduled for a Sunday with Watford FC playing away that weekend. Watford are also away on the weekend of the Ulster game, so it seems that Sarries prefer the Sunday games unless Sky have the last say.
Any other info on the likely date would be much appreciated.

[Rooster]

Browner, I feel the same as you about this game and reckon on a Sunday match hence have booked flight on Monday for coming home, a Sunday night flight would be possible if the game is early or if all the trains to get you back to Luton go on time and don't breakdown If we finished up with a 5:00 ko it would start to get tight to return home Sunday.
Sky will probably let us know in October when the cheap flights are all booked, nothing new there

[browner]

Yes Rooster, unfortnately covering all eventualities, Fri-Sun can be expensive when your trying to do all the away games, and the Chancellor shows no flexibility in her budget.

[colinh]

Yes I can relate to that.

Colin

[Rooster]

You need to gather up a shed load of brownie points as well to do the full weekends as it usually means Friday to Monday
Can't see Sarries playing on Friday night though but with Sky involved it's a tough call and a risk, as I know from past experience

[HwoodMike2umate]

looks like a Thur nite flight flight to heathrow (from city airport) and a monday flight back to aldergrove from Luton with easyjet. still quite cheap esp. as accomodation free as staying with sister in Chinnor (look it up on a map) who may also be taxi driver to and from airport and also the game whenever it is.

still leaves me and junior looking for a "free" lift into belfast from aldergrove bout t-time on monday 19th. any volunteers??

[Cockatrice]

Mike - what is the cheerleading situation in Luton and the surrounding area. the ulster public have a right 2 know.
