GazzyB Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Booked into the Mirimar hotel myself, looks like ye get the bare bones for 25 bucks, but the price isn't to be sniffed at! Â Ticket or no ticket, I'll be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 The Albanian Cup winners famously defeated Barcelona 1-0 in a Uefa Cup tie on their home ground 12 years ago, only to lose the away leg 4-1. Â Gulp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgowfan Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Ground might be swtiched at Llanelli. this on wikipedia:# Â The club's home ground is Stebonheath Park, which has a capacity of 3,700. In recent years, big games in European competition have been played at Stradey Park, the traditional rugby venue in the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic2904 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Had a quick look at flights to Albania. Looks like you'd have to go to Tirana and the only airlines that fly from the UK are BA and Albania Air. Not going to be cheap methinks!

niall Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Ground might be swtiched at Llanelli.this on wikipedia:# Â The club's home ground is Stebonheath_Park, which has a capacity of 3,700. In recent years, big games in European competition have been played at Stradey_Park, the traditional rugby venue in the town. Â Â however Stradey park was closed back in November 2008, so the game would be played at Parc y Scarlets instead. Â edit: and actually, if you had read on after that bit you quoted, it says this: Â The first ground improvement started in the summer of 2008 by building a seated stand to accommodate 300 supporters. This takes the Stebonheath Park seated capacity to 1,000 - therefore making it a UEFA-compliant stadium for European football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaag Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 You can get the ferry from Brindisi in Italy to Vlore, so i guess if you could get a cheap flight to Bari or Lecce, you'll be in with a good shout. it's only an hour or so on the ferry.  EDIT: Ok maybe not, it's more like 5 hours on the ferry, but according to http://elladeviaggi.forth-crs.g it's about 80 euros return  You could also fly to Dubrovnik, Thessaloniki or Athens which would get you reasonably close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn_Broomfield Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have to get myself a pint of BRAINS when i go down there is that not the welsh guinness? Â Â Its pure shite mate. 3% or so and is pisswater. Its a beer btw nothing like Guinness. Brains lager is quite possibly the worst lager known to man. Be prepared for lots of Stella, Fosters and Carlsberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 BMI Baby Edi to Cardiff(if there is still any left0 is your best bet, that route has the best flight times. Train as I said is brutal, every stop from Cardiff to Milford Haven with Llanelli in the middle. You'll need to sort out travel from the airport as its on the road by Barry . Train from Glasgow takes way too long. An idea would be booking a bus at Cardiff Airport to travel to Llanelli if you could get enough numbers.

Your names down for the coach m'lad. Leaving on the morning of the match and straight home afterwards. Carnage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
