    maybe a late night flight for the 3rd may be best incase of delays :confused: Dont want you to save the money and then get there too late

    Well the flights are dear for those two days, only done one search so far but the cheapest is £73 going on the 3rd and back on the 6th

    For 3rd-5th its coming up at £128

    and for 4th-5th its at £268

    as I say thats just the first site but thought I would give it to you as an estimate

    I personally hate footy, so I couldn't see the logic in spending the dosh but I can fully understand the attraction for a hardcore fan

    But are you sure you're not underestimating the £200 to justify it to yourself? I'm the KING of underestimation..."yeah, tenner for taxi's, twenty quid on drinks, fiver for a kebab...should cost no more than £35 ".

    then you next day you realise you've blown £100....

    I'd say "Use the force young jedi" on this one....


    But I honestly think you've made your mind up already!

    SS you have done really really well since you came on this board I know you live at home at the moment but you must be making some big sacrifices to pay off what you have done. I really feel you deserve this and it is a once in a life time opportunity - GO Southern GO!!

    No I honestly haven't!

    I think I'm swaying to not going simply because of the doubts I've got! I'm gonna sleep on it tonight.

    If I knew England were going to be in it I would snap my mates hand off for the ticket. But even if they aren't it would still be brilliant. :confused:
