Gemmel Posted 10 June, 2012 Share Posted 10 June, 2012 Nipper and his mates have gone out to the Ukraine (6 of them) and met up with another group of Saints fans out there. They went to the England hotel, this morning, but couldn't get past secuirty, so booked themselves into the hotel spa and had a massage Ended up spendng their time with the England team + pundits Steve Clalridge very complementary about Saints and Adkins. Rooney and Gerrard spent time to have pictures done. Look out for a big Saints flag tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graffito Posted 10 June, 2012 Share Posted 10 June, 2012 I think it's good that the team is more accessible now. At the WC in Germany, with nothing better to do in Nuremburg I turned up to await the arrival of the England team, along with a few thousand other England fans. Eventually the team coach turned up and one fat bloke with a kit bag got out and disappeared inside the hotel, the players having been delivered via the rear entrance.

Lighthouse Posted 10 June, 2012 Share Posted 10 June, 2012 Ukraine is top of my countries to visit, wont be this year sadly. Great to see Saints being represented out there though. BTW, make sure your nipper and his mates cover their equipment up before sticking it in any of the local totty. Seriously, there is an AIDS pandemic amongst young people in Southern and Eastern Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Ukraine is a sh*thole run by thugs. Nice that the England team are accessable to the loyal few making the trip, but I can think of nicer places to do this, like Brazil in 2 years time (if we get there...)

Fan In The Stand Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Have tickets all the way to the final after the group stages...so fingers crossed. Often see Saints flags when travelling with England. Had my photo taken standing next to a nice big one in Kazakhstan. Now that was a good trip!

They just had their Saints flag taken down by Burnley fans because of Jay Rod.... all banter though, they are having beers with them now. they couldnt speak highly enough about him and reckon even at 7 mill we have a bargain.

um pahars Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 good lads Not that good, as they've left us with half a cricket team!!!!!! Wasters!!!!!! In jest of course, as been following their trip with great interest and hoping they look after themselves out there. They've got some cracking photos (with Rooney, Gerrard, Kammy, Clemence etc) already and some decent stories to match (let's just say those Ukranian girls are real friendly and I'm getting a more fuller picture then daddy Gemmel is).

theyin Posted 12 June, 2012 Share Posted 12 June, 2012 It was like the Ukrainians had won the tournament after their match last night here in Donetsk. Massive firework display at the final whistle, horns, people hanging our of cars. All that was missing was a Kalashnikov being fired into the air. I can also confirm the ladies have a certain something (extremely long legs being one) ....and there's complimentary french letters in my room, which judging by the racket coming from the room next door these past two nights.....

JackanorySFC Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 Wizzair from Luton (prob closer to the midlands than Soton). Flown with them before to Bulgaria and pretty decent. Early flight there Weds (8.15am) and back Fri (10.15am). Accomodation on Hostelbookers roughly £20 a night, maybe more for private room if taking the nipper though (£20 is based on dorm of 8-10 heads). Looked at via Berlin/ Warclaw, Krackow etc and training it but at these prices and with limited time off work/ away from the missus it has to be direct all the way for me!
