Simon made his debut on English TV doing a live interview for Sky
Sports news, For those of you that missed it we hope to have the
video online soon.
09/12/2011
So much to update you on (as Simon has been very slack).
Firstly thanks to everybody who travelled with us to Montenegro
and made it a very enjoyable trip. We would like to apologise for
the weather after the game and in future we will do our best to
ensure it does not happen again.
The World Cup Draw
As we are sure you all know by now we were drawn with Moldova,
San Marino, Poland, Ukraine & Montenegro. We would think that most
of you will have visited at least one the last 3 at some point over
the last few years.
Euro 2012 Draw
Again as most of you will know already we have been drawn in
Group D alongside Sweden, France & the hosts Ukraine. On the face of
it a good group, however we have not beaten Sweden in a competitive
game for many a year, France outclassed us last time we played them
and the Ukraine will be no pushover in their own back yard.
The FA have also confirmed that we will be playing Sweden on
14/11/12 in Stockholm. It would have been nice to play them when the
weather was a little warmer so we could really appreciate the
stereotypical Swedish blondes.
We are working on trips for all of the above but as we are sure
you understand these things take time so please keep checking back
here or sign up to our mailing list (on home page) to get any news
first.

We are still busy putting the final touches to Thailand, which we
hope to have on sale very soon. We have also been working on a
football based retail venture which again we hope to launch in the
next week or so, we are just putting the finishing touches to the
site and to prices.
We will be updating bits as they happen!
15/07/2010
As many of you are aware thanks to Facebook we had our last
server attacked by a company in Holland ( even more reason why we
are glad they lost the final!) We have had to move servers and
slowly piece the site back together, hopefully we now have it all
resolved.
We all like many of you had an amazing time in South Africa
despite the luck lustre performance form the England team. However
England fans themselves were on fine form, singing and drinking
making South Africa yet again a quality trip away.
Switzerland is proving a problem for us, we were hoping to run a
day trip but can not do it any cheaper then sports options, and
again thanks to lost cost airlines etc... putting a package together
for yourself will be a cheaper option.
We will as always offer any help and advice to people wishing to
book their own trip.
20/03/2010
Apologies for the technical problem we experienced we are now
back up and running on our normal server.
As you are all aware we are not running a trip to SA but we are
out there, and it seems we are now doing a mini tour lol, however we
are helping people out where we can, and if you are after
accommodation transfers etc... then give us a shout and we can point
you towards some very useful people in SA
We are going to Graz on a 3 night trip details can be found under
current trips!
21/12/09
Not a lot to put here really, the Ukraine was a success all be it
a tiring one. Doha was an experience and yes an expensive one. Now
we are taking bookings for the world cup!
24/09/09
Wow ok still really busy. We have just two weeks till the Ukraine
which I must admit we have mixed feelings about going on this one,
almost just seems a chore now, but I am sure that as always once out
there a good time will be had by all!
We have put a trip to Doha on sale and this was a pain due to the
late confirmation by the The FA.
We are going to South Africa next year and we think have the
majority of the trip in place, however we are working on prices and
it will be a while before it goes on sale.
10/06/09
Firstly sorry for being so rubbish in updating this part of the
site, with so much going on little things get overlooked.
Well we are all back safe, sound and knackered from a very
enjoyable trip to Kazakhstan. We managed to do so much in so few
days and had a lot of laughs as well.
However its straight back to work, and now that the jet lag is
starting to wear of its full steam ahead with the Ukraine.
The day trip is fully confirmed and will be flying from East
Midlands airport and is selling fast. We may do a two day trip but
this depends on the venue and we won't be doing anything with it
until the venue is announced. As always the best way to keep up to
date is to join the mailing list, as we tend to send most info out
there first before it goes onto the site.
09/01/09
Happy New year to all. December was a difficult time for us as
Sarah suffered a long stay in Hospital and this threw everything up
into the air. Simon has also been told that he is to have his foot
Reconstructed some point in the next 6 weeks and this has meant a
lot of planning is going into everything.
We are still trying to sort many things out this end but like for
everybody this current climate is not so good. However we are
determined to just get bigger and better and ensure that coming away
with us is as much fun as it can be!
Spain has been updated, at a new lower cost and we have a good
deal on accommodation in Seville if you are interested, just let us
know.
21/11/08
A slightly newer looking site with newer plans in place!
Berlin and a good time was had by all, well poor Simon had a
nasty stomach bug for the first 24hours however the though of Vodka,
Beer and the footy proved to be the miracle cure he needed, and he
made it to the game in one piece.
Ukraine is all in place however as we are waiting on the final
contracts we will not be putting the trip on sale until its all
finalised.
04/11/08
Whilst we have been very quite here on the site we have been very
busy behind the scenes.
Yet another fun trip this time to Belarus and some cracking
football to boot.
Simon made it to Croatia arriving at the ground, thanks to the
fastest taxi driver in the world, just after the national anthems
were played.
Kaza sold out straight away and we are still busy with the
Ukraine.
We have also been looking at a number of ways to improve
ourselves and we have made some exciting changes and decisions. Over
the next few months the new changes will take place hopefully
providing a better service for you.
Once again thank you for all your support.
04/09/08
Wow it's been crazy both in our personal life (School Holidays!)
and with the football. Normally you get a few months between games
but this latest lot are back to back, and each trip requires
different things done for it.
Well all the Visas for Belarus are done and all the passports
have been returned.
The BA tickets for Barcelona finally turned up....at Robs! Not
that it was major problem but a least they are here.
Croatia despite really looking forward to this one fate has
intervened for us. whilst the group will fly out as planned on the
Tuesday under the careful supervision of Rob and a dear friend and
long term traveller Ian, Simon will not be going on Tuesday.
Personal commitments on the Wednesday morning means he can't travel,
however being loyal to the cause and wanting to meet everyone, he
flying out on Wednesday, he lands 45 minutes before Kick off and its
a 40 minute cab ride to the ground. The big question "will he make
it?"
Germany was the last game to sell out and we are looking forward
to a stonker in Berlin.
Details for Kazakhstan will be posted soon we are just waiting
for final hotel confirmation and the trip will go on sale.
07/07/08
Thank you to everyone again who has expressed an interest in
future trips, it just gives us a better idea of what to plan.
However to be honest we are still struggling but as they say it's
not over till the fat lady sings.
Download area! what a pain having had so many photos I need a new
way to upload and store them so after trying many things I am still
struggling, I am having one or two problems with databases. I spent
most of last week on it but believe I am closer to resolving the
issues and hope to have them online soon!
Also there are some funny and nice videos from T&T and we hope to
have those in the area as well.
05/07/08
Back to the embassy again and the first round of applications
have been done and will be collected and sent back special delivery
Thursday next week. We are also taking more down with us on Thursday
so if you want yours processed as part of the group you need to get
them to us by 10/07/08. Contact Simon if you need further details.
03/07/08
Well! The lorry strike blocked the M40 an accident and the M4
between junction 1 and 3, traffic backed up all over the place.
Simon finally made it into London after almost three hours to get to
the Embassy and find it shut!!!!
So its back again on Friday.
01/07/08
Busy busy busy, Belarus visa's what a nightmare!!!!!
We had and arrangement with the embassy to do a group visa
application at a discounted price, so we got the letter of
invitations sent to us and contacted everyone to find out the best
time to put them in. Simon had decided the best way was for him to
travel to London with everyone's passports, put them in for 48 hours
and then pick them up and send them back.
When we realised one or two people were struggling with some of
the questions on the forms we rang the embassy on the 30/06/08 only
to be told in July the cost of the Visa was going up to £63.00
!!!!!! what the hell is going on. Anyway Monday spent on the phone
and the plan is to get as many here for Wednesday morning as they
have agreed to hold the original price till the end of this week.
So yet another week where best laid plans go out the window!
19/06/08
Still busy working on those photos, we reckon there must be
nearly 1000 to sift through and sort out. As we type we are
uploading them to the slide shows and hope to get them online ASAP.
For those of you going to Croatia it's been confirmed the game is
in Zagreb and if you have paid in full a refund will be on it's way
to you shortly.
There are still some places available if you fancy joining us.
11/06/08
All back and sunburnt after a fantastic week in T&T ( thanks to
all the people that came who made it such a good week!) we are now
putting together Kazakhstan and also have been busy arranging
personalised cricket tours. Blog and photos to come soon
26/05/08
We are sat here putting the last few things together for
Trinidad, checking and double checking that we have everything,
tickets etc and its all looking good. Simon will be meeting some of
you at the Fans Party on Wednesday to hand stuff over. The trips to
Bucco Reef and Sunday School have proved very popular and look to
being to very interesting events.
Once again we are looking to the future and already plans are
under way for next year with Kazakhstan and the Ukraine, and we are
already trying to put these together.
We will keep you posted, sending out on the mailing list first,
so if you haven't signed up, now's a good time.
30/03/08
We have been a little quite in updating this page as it has been
a very busy time for us. We finally managed to get everything in
place for the WC qualifiers and were looking forward to a night out
in Paris when we decided that a week in the sun was a good idea and
tried to put together a trip to Trinidad at short notice.
A difficult one this one as it was a long journey, time of work,
high cost and accommodation sparse.
Well we went for a week in Tobago and have managed to get what we
believe and others have told us a very good deal. Our biggest
problem was after the game, the last flight back was 9pm meaning
there was very little time if any to get from the ground to the
airport to fly back to Tobago.
After a long and drawn out negation with Caribbean airlines,
Tobago airport and flight crew, we have managed to secure a 10pm
flight for us and a lunch time flight in, this means we get to spend
the afternoon in Trinidad and we get to return to our all inclusive
hotel in the evening.
See itinerary for details
27/03/08
All back from France just about in one piece, Sarah just about
crawled home and you can read all about it in the blog
22/01/08
Its hard to believe but the first three trips for the WC
qualifiers are proving difficult to sort out. For one or two people
its no problem, try and take a large group and oh my god you would
have thought we were trying to ask airlines and hotels to turn water
into beer!
We do have flights and hotels in place for all three trips
however each has its own problem, Barcelona is so expensive for
accommodation and we are trying to bring the cost down, Croatia
location of the game is dodgy we have flights and hotels in Zagreb,
hotels in split and coach companies in place but we are trying to
hold out for a defiant location for the game. Belarus again we are
trying to work on timings but have flights and hotels booked.
Please bear with us a little longer as we want to make sure that
yet again we offer a well planned trip at the best possible price.
21/11/07
Just to keep you updated, the trip to France
sold out in four days, sorry to those of you who never got a
place.
Secondly we never made it to Austria this time
due to family and work commitments we just couldn't do it. However
I have it on good authority that those that went had a good time !
On to the future, a crucial game with Croatia
tonight and if we manage to do we have a range of trips lined up
for the Euros which will be announced as soon as we can after the
draw.
If we don't do well lets hope for a summer tour
somewhere nice and hot!
20/10/07
Nothing really to report everyone has arrived
back safely ( and in some cases hung over) from Moscow.
