As ever, the FSF is ahead of the game and have a reasonable guide to Bucharest for any reds who will be heading out for the game with Unirea Urziceni on 25th Feb next year. For info, follow the link:

http://www.fsf.org.uk/ground-guide/international-clubs/unirea-urziceni/

We'll be adding more information over the coming two months, of course, so don't take the guide as an exhaustive list. But do check back regularly to this thread, and I'll let you know of any major updates to it.

I have just booked all my flights.

Everyone else getting travel sorted ok?

Would I have to go from London airport for this one? (well, would it be cheaper)?

Red_Skippy · « **Reply #3 on:** December 18, 2009, 03:01:20 pm »

There were direct flights to and from earlier for 100 quid but those same routes I looked at are now double or more. Will be a great away trip..good luck finding a way

Booked our flights - flying out Wed from Stansted, coming back Fri, about 80 quid each including all Taxes.

Swiss Airlines, Heathrow to Bucharest, out on the 23rd back on the 26, £160.

But there's 1 stop on the way there and back, not saying where on website. And it just says, London Airport UK on the return flight.

I think I'll hang the latch, but will be defo doing this one. Any good info, flights out of London, hotels, etc.

Ta.

Train will be my option. It's 600 kms from here. Scarf and fur hat is recommended, freezy February.

Finding it hard to find decent flights from Amsterdam to Bucharest. Faaaaaaaaaaack

Fat Scouser · « **Reply #8 on:** December 18, 2009, 04:42:15 pm »

Had a root through that. I'm going to find an apartment, just don't know nothing about the gaff and don't want to pull a rick.

I imagine it's probably about the same stamp as Budapest... 300 nicker or round about for flight for 2, £150 or so for 3 nights in a flat.

Looking forward to it...

Try via Milan or somewhere - Sky Blue (or whatever they're called) had ridiculously cheap flights from Bergamo.

Right... right... now how do I convince 10 people that kicking a football and falling about in the snow in late February in Bucharest might be a good idea?

scott · « **Reply #17 on:** December 18, 2009, 09:39:09 pm »

Mates being a bellend and wanting to go on the Thursday morning and return on the Friday, will I be likely to pay more?

Just seemed easier doing it my way as in going on the Wednesday but he won't have it :S

GeeFJay · « **Reply #18 on:** December 18, 2009, 09:58:20 pm »

I can definitely, 100% confirm that it will not be played at Tineretului (Unirea's home ground). It does not conform to the UEFA stadium regs. They played all their Champions League games in Bucharest, and the UEFA Ground Regulations are the same for Europa League as for the Champions League.

For the boring factual bit, a stadium must be rated in category 3 (one short of elite) according to the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations to host matches from the qualification play-off through to the semi-final in both the Champions League and the Europa League. A category 2 stadium is allowed to host first, second and third qualifying round fixtures.

Because their ground didn't host any CL games, it can't host any EL games.

They let Steaua play at their ground last time. Terracing and stgeps at back of ground falling to pieces, gents were the trees behind the terracing, they put some portaloo's for the women. Pissed down so hard Noah hasn't even dried his ark out yet, but they still had a water fountain at the bottom of the terrace.

And Djimi fucking Traore scored a cracker.

Mind, was dirt cheap for bottles of lager.

So that mate...make an adventure of it..that is what these games are about..finding interesting ways of getting there and seeing other places along the way

Unless restriced by work there is no reason for anyone to not make this a boss away.

How many are we realistically going to need?
Have to say, the ground is hard to beat for the sheer blandness

A couple of tips when booking:

If you haven't got a Hotel yet, for Destination Address I just put the Stadium Address and it seemed to work OK - Bdul Ghencea 35, Sector 5, Bucharest

Going from memory i think we paid approx 20p a half litre bottle back in 2003 or was it 2004? Local bars only mind.

Still remember having food and beer in a pink villa that we thought was run by local mafia...
