Already in the pre-season fixture thread. 
In all seriousness, though, it deserves its own thread. I just wasn't sure if there was one already made and didn't want to replicate!

Paul, I told you it wasn't all bollocks!
Looking for flights as we speak.
What are we reckoning? Holiday or another Dublin style 1 or 2 nighter?

I believe that this is the exact stadium Em Jay's grandparents or auntie lives near. So no doubt, he'll be there!
Also, it's fairly expensive with Easyjet.
East Midlands to Faro is about £130 return.
Ryanair is similar when taxes are included.

Anyone with any Portugal knowledge know which airport we should be looking to fly into?

£130 with BMI at the minute
Reckon that might be a good shout. Then either camp or find a hostel or something.
The flights are gonna be the only expensive part here.

Correct! It's in Albufeira in the Algarve (nicer weather) and the stadium is the Estadio Municipal.
Fly to Faro airport guys.

£120 with Easyjet from Gatwick is the cheapest I've found so far.

You may as well go from East Midlands though cause the money you save on flights would be spent on getting to Gatwick.
Problem with this trip is that it's to a holiday resort in July.
I know it's a long shot, but have a look at the ferry to Bilbao in Spain and then trains? It'll take a while, but it'll be much cheaper, I'm sure.
Or, look at cheap flights to less glamorous parts of Portugal/Spain and trains from there.

That's not a bad shout, J-Man.
For those who have met him, this game falls a day before my friend Smit's 30th birthday. I reckon he'll be up for coming too.
Jess said she's in providing she can get it off work.
I think Mark is definitely in, as he rang me to tell me about it (cue me notbelieving him for a while!)

The train journey from Lisbon to Albufeira takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes, according to Seat61.com - that's a really good website for planning any journey across Europe.
Edit: He also mentions a bus from Seville to Faro, which takes 3.5 hours.

I'm quite tempted to just to pay £130 and fly to Faro.
Not sure I can eb arsed with all the messing about that goes with it for trying to save what is going to be £30 maximum.
£130 from East Mids, fly out on the 9th and back on the 12th. 3 nights, book some shitty B&B and we're away.
