Cheltenham 2017

[blademan89]

Don't believe ya.

Was counting on this festival to turn up at your place tomorrow last minute.

I've got to at least try. A couple of losses and I lose the plot putting stupid bets on, Self control is shocking. Probably waste between 5-10k a year gambling. Could have more trips abroad instead. I'm off to cologne in the morning so missing our match but hopefully another 3 points and another game nearer.

FairPlay fella. We'll have a beer if Sheff U/Charlton meet again. What's the trip in aid off? Just a booze up?

Yep just a piss up no reason behind it. Basically any reason to not be in this country as much as possible is good enough for me mate.

Hopefully we spoil it a bit

We shall see although in all honesty it will spoil my day for about 15 minutes I'm guessing should we lose.

Haha yeah you won't give a shit when you're abroad. Wouldn't worry, injuries we've got and the fact you're a much better team anyway. You should win comfortably.

I remember the year we pissed the league, march time it was. We beat Bournemouth in the last min and I think you lost to Oldham late on. I was in Prague with the missus, safe to say the whole of Prague knew who I supported when them goals went in!

Yep we lost 3-2 I think to oldham we might of been 2 nil up and them down to 10 men, it was something like that anyway. We should win tommorrow but you never know. How we didn't win at the valley was just wrong but that's football. I won't really care come 6pm anyway. Better things to be doing

Haha make you right pal. I don't go to home games at the minute anyway but was in Hamburg anyway for our game. Followed on twitter in bar, fuck knows how we survived and nicked a draw but will take it.

What's it like Hamburg I was meant to go last New year but binned it off. Can get some very cheap flights out of Manchester there. Have you done cologne? I've done Dortmund,dusseldorf,Berlin,Frankfurt, And gelsenkirchen in Germany, doing Stuttgart in June. It's a cracking country to be fair I think dusseldorf is the best I've done so far.

See you all in one months time for Aintree.

Done Berlin, went for the 2008 friendly when we won 2-1.

If you're all about the booze up, I can't recommend Hamburg highly enough. Easily one of the best places I've been to for that. The Reeperbahn is just bar after bar and it never seems to close. Stumbled out of a bar one night/morning at 6am and the whole strip was still jumping.

Never done cologne but want to do it and Frankfurt.

Done Berlin for both the friendlies it's ok but it's massive and very spread out imo.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. Absolutely full of history and some good sites but for a drink up, not the best.

You just come back from Beni? I've never been. Going in June for a stag.

Last trip was november for the festival which is just unreal but Been loads of times and imo it is absolutely quality. You can't beat it for a piss up abroad in the sun. It's all British but it's got everything you can want for a night out whatever your into. It's not a shithole but don't expect anything up market. From what I've heard about Hamburg off people if you like that then I'm pretty sure you'll like Benidorm.

Nice one. Sounds perfect. Dunno why I've never been, been to magaluf, Ibiza etc but not Benidorm. Going at end of June so should be lively.

Last went to Magaluf in 2009 when I was 20. Too old for it now. Staying in some shithole called the Luxmar in Benidorm. Know it? Supposed to be right amongst it.

I'm same age as you I went last October there was a lot more old ens there than the summer. Luxmar apartments I presume you mean. It's near where I stay it's about a 10-15 min walk from the main strip where you will end up late on. It's sound to work your way down though plenty of options for a crawl on way down. It will be a bit of a shithole , most of them are but who gives a fuck it's a stag do not a posh hotel weekend away with the wife.

Yeah I'm 28 mate. 29 this year.

Yeah I don't care what it's like, as long as it's got a bed to get me nut down for a few hours, a shower and a khazi, that'll do.

Exactly. Never understand people spending loads on digs when all they are doing is going on a piss up. In fact I wouldn't do it anyway. Cheap and basic for us northerners suits me.

This thread seems to have gone a little off topic, I'm sure there is another thread for holidays.
