Its quite a trek from Faro to Lisbon though. Its 260km, if you need to go from Faro to Porto its 530 km.

[CAPT KAYOS]

you will struggle to get a flight now.

Think it will be the accommodation that you will struggle on more - unless you are willing to pay over the rip-off over the odds excessive amount the hoteliers etc are charging.

Managed to get in a Hotel in Setubal -appx 1/2 hr outside Lisbon £150 for 4 nights with breakfast.

260KM Is only 150 miles, whats the problem?

[Ricky]

No problem, its just that its likely to be pretty damn warm for driving.

[1864roverite]

has anyone considered the ferry ? quite cheap and a lot easier than most think !

Also waggy

today at work two lads rang for the england swiss game and were unsuccessful as the tickets were on "hold". The female operator couldnt really explain why or what it really meant but they were told to ring on monday.

So there are still tickets available

[waggy]

[Uddersfelt Blue]

Just got tickets for a quarter final in Lisbon on 25th but want 2 tickets for England v Croatia on 21st which I understand are still available. Anyone got any ideas how I may get some as I'm not a member of the englandfans club.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Ricky]

Direct flight to Lisbon = £120

Car hire for a week = £130

Villa for a week in Lourinha = £160

Expecting Latvia V Czechs but receiving Holland V Germany = PRICELESS!!!

[Hughesy]

If anyone needs any tickets for england games or any other then please message me as i can get tickets for all games.

Just email me your amount needed

Has the portuguese member of the forum (the only one I guess ), I hope you enjoy your stay in Portugal!!

I must confess that english fans are feared over here.

Just hope I don't get to see any rovers fan causing trouble.

[Ricky]

Oklahoma, the England fans will be enticed and will react. I'm afraid there will be some very negative press about England Fans causing trouble. Look back to the World Cup in 2002, the Japanese and Korean authority's made England fans feel welcome and there was no trouble at all. We have already seen the Portugeuse police having practice sessions with "pretend" football hooligans who they put in england shirts, not the best way to make a footy fan feel welcome is it.

[Hughesy]

Unfortunatly the english have the reputation and if any trouble kicks off then we will get the blame as we did last time

[FourLaneBlue]

We have already seen the Portugeuse police having practice sessions with "pretend" football hooligans who they put in england shirts, not the best way to make a footy fan feel welcome is it.

The Japanese police did the same thing before the World Cup but it didn't have an effect. The Portuguese authorities have been almost falling over themselves to welcome the English fans, even citing the ancient alliance between the two nations. As a major tourist destination they should know how to put on a good show for the fans.

Unfortunately we all know that England has a (well deserved) reputation for aggro and this attracts some hangers on going along just for a fight. Scottish and Welsh thugs are even known to follow England for the buzz. Hopefully there won't be any major incidents and certainly not a repeat of the kind of scenes at Charleroi which were transmitted around the world. That's hardly the kind of thing that lessens the poor reputation that England away fans have...
