I'd avoid Denmark.  Lovely city but unless you have money to burn it's pricey.  I've been to all 3 places before and Porto would be my choice of game to go to if you only made one.

Porto stadium/atmosphere is going to be the best of the 3 by some distance as well i think.

I've been lucky enough to go to all 3 places (Copenhagen and Porto for City, Brugge for a 2-4-1 mini cruise deal Smiley ) and yeah Porto is far and away the best of the 3; some great bars on the river and wasn't too expensive.

Copenhagen will be bollock freezing in November and there is no escaping the cost. Brugge would be fun but its not far away so perhaps not ideal from a prep point of view? I'm very jealous of this draw Sad

Yes intending to go to Porto. The club is chartering flights which helps. Bruges is a bit soon but I have the euro season ticket and Eurostar to Brussels, local train down seems feasible.

I have always found booking on own is cheapest.

Went to Brugge v Birmingham a few years ago. Great city, great, lively intimidating atmosphere in the stadium, a bit at odds with the gentile and lovely town. Easy to get to on train or to drive. Seems like a great draw!

You boys are doing it wrong. You need to appeal to Tighty's weakness.

Bruges Chocolate Museum will swing it, for sure.

Yeah this, plus its much more fun this way. Should only use official trips as a last resort IMO.

Can always fly to Lisbon and get the train up Smiley

by all accounts we were more back to normal today. 2-0 up, missed a pen and won 2-1

Amartey in the enforcer role, and was apparently excellent.

Tighty, can I pick your brain for Leicester knowledge? (the city, not the team)

Band playing at the o2 in November I'm 99% gonna travel down to see, and will have to stay the night. Decent hotels in reasonable (walking) proximity to the venue and also the train station? Don't wanna spend too much but equally don't wanna be in a shit tip Smiley

Cheers.



the Premier Inn is right next to the station, then ten minutes up the road to the university campus. fine for one night, mid market business/leisure hotel and v v convenient for everything

Leicester Central is the one you are looking for, there are several in leicester

http://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/leicestershire/leicester/leicester-central-a50.html

just down the road and a touch more expensive is the Ramada Encore. 3 mins to train station, 10-15 to the 02 walking.

http://www.leicestercitycentrehotel.com/

either is fine imo


the one visiting football teams stay at is the marriott out by the motorway, which is very plush. one of the good marriotts. far far less convenient for city centre stuff though

http://www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/emalm-leicester-marriott-hotel/

Finally got round to booking this....glad I looked at the map before booking the linked Premier Inn, its about 3 miles away! Perhaps it was too good an opportunity to turn down to send me to the wrong hotel Wink

Booked the Leicester City Centre one, which is right by the station (and the one I assume you meant), and not the linked central one which is much further out. Very easy to mix those 2 up! Why on earth are there 4 Premier Inn's in Leicester?! Lenny Henry must be coining it in.
