I've already made enquiries about travel to the final next year. I'm thinking of travelling from Paris with Napoleonic Tours. They drop you off 60 miles outside Moscow and you have to make your own way back but it's pretty cheap.

Going to the final in back to back seasons has proved extremely difficult in modern times.  What are our chances, do you reckon?

I predict flying to Russia will be very expensive, and also not a very pleasant experience.  But good luck to all y'all who are going.  I hear Moscow has changed beyond recognition these days.

If you're going via their Stalingrad  option then expect some delays.

The problem with Moscow is that the club's "coloured" supporters (Im one of them) might be recommended not to make the trip or to stay in some secured area because of the skin heads :(
