Footballfan Posted 15 July, 2013 Posted 15 July, 2013 Is anyone doing this one and if so any cheap flights going, thanks
Griffo Posted 15 July, 2013 Posted 15 July, 2013 Yes I am and nope. Was 185 to Porto with Ryanair but it's now gone up by another 100 when I last looked I think. Vigo airport is hideously expensive to fly in to and there's Santiago or something which is also very expensive.
South City Si Posted 15 July, 2013 Posted 15 July, 2013 Not going but a mate comes from that way and always flies to Porto then drives up. Santiago and A Coruna also have airports but bit more of a drive.
Griffo Posted 15 July, 2013 Posted 15 July, 2013 (edited) Hopefully have a half decent turn out there and some sort of away end for us. If anyone's interested this is a memorial tournament. This is some sort of annual tournament with a trophy it appears. Wigan played in it last year. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofeo_Ciudad_de_Vigo we won the thing in 1983 apparently! Anyone remember it at all? Edited 15 July, 2013 by Griffo
Big Dick Last Posted 16 July, 2013 Posted 16 July, 2013 Four of us going via Santiago. Flights and 2 nights accommodation £310. Looking forward to it .
Delboy Dave Posted 21 July, 2013 Posted 21 July, 2013 I dont appear to like football as much as you lot. Why would you pay that sort of money to watch a meaningless friendly? :/
Footballfan Posted 21 July, 2013 Author Posted 21 July, 2013 I am doing Gatwick to Santiago, hope to meet somewhere for a few beers before the game
Big Dick Last Posted 22 July, 2013 Posted 22 July, 2013 I dont appear to like football as much as you lot. Why would you pay that sort of money to watch a meaningless friendly? :/ A weekend away. Bit of culture (Santiago) , couple of days on the beer, throw in seeing the Saints and you have a perfect weekend. Anyone who has been on any pre-season tour games will know it is a good laugh. Try it you might like it ! Footballfan, Will hope to see you for a beer or 2 in Vigo.

I am going out on Wednesday, so any night after that for a beer would be good
Dan Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Surely there must be a few more of us doing this? There will be between 50/100 out there as like all the European Pre season games in recent years. It seems very few people on this forum actually go to games though.
Big Dick Last Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 I will be surprised if there are more than 20 of us. 50 would be a superb turnout.
Roo1976 Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 come on get a grip .....really its a friendly midweek nothing in it bloody expensive and a waste of money for a game of 2 halves with nothing to play for except fitness
Delboy Dave Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Yeah! Roo1976 has got the right idea. You are a grade A wally if you even consider this
Footballfan Posted 30 July, 2013 Author Posted 30 July, 2013 Even that's only a few going are we going too meet up for a beer
RedAndWhite91 Posted 30 July, 2013 Posted 30 July, 2013 come on get a grip .....really its a friendly midweek nothing in it bloody expensive and a waste of money for a game of 2 halves with nothing to play for except fitness You're criticising Saints fans for going to a Saints game? Wow.
stevegrant Posted 30 July, 2013 Posted 30 July, 2013 Recent events might make train travel from Santiago somewhat challenging, for those who were banking on that route...
Big Dick Last Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Just checked the Spanish train website and there does not appear to be any cancellations from Santiago. I have also checked the Celta Vigo site and it looks like tickets start from €25 !!!! OUCH

ART Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 About time Cortese did something about the team travels. Has no one in football learned anything from travel travels like Munich? Even my former company wouldn't allow more that 3 management personal use the same flights. I think it's high time we split up the players on flights
Sour Mash Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 F*cking hell, expensive.. Just go down the ground the day before, sober, and buy a kids ticket.
Griffo Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Just go down the ground the day before, sober, and buy a kids ticket. That plan had already been sorted, don't you worry! The sober bit might be difficult though.
Griffo Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 Vigo is very good for a beer or 10 and very hot today.
Footballfan Posted 1 August, 2013 Author Posted 1 August, 2013 Where are you Griffo I am out here today just going out for dinner then a beer or 2

Footballfan Posted 2 August, 2013 Author Posted 2 August, 2013 Let me know where you are and will meet up for a beer or 2
Griffo Posted 2 August, 2013 Posted 2 August, 2013 Been up near the ground today. Ticket office isn't open until tomorrow annoyingly.
