Going from Gatwick via Rome (FCO) on Tuesday. Flight from Rome leaves 12:20. I’m guessing I might be joined by some Fiorentina fans but I didn’t think about that at the time!

Even though I will barely be in there I did book a cheapish hotel (90 quid) just to put stuff in. Really didn’t fancy carrying round my passport with me all day

Flying to Gdansk Monday morning then have an interail ticket traveling down through Poland arriving in Wroclaw Monday night. Up early Tuesday for the train journey to Prague :smiler: on the way back it's via Germany and Belgium for 2 days arriving into St Pancras Friday evening. Lots of traveling but I love a bit of adventure :scarfer:

I arrive into Prague on Tuesday morning, 9.45am from Frankfurt. Anyone got a transfer to the city centre I can jump in, or want to share a cab? I'm solo at that point.

I understand but had to do that with Palermo back in 2006. I also for holidays (geek alert) keep a colour laminated copy and also a photo of the key passport page on my mobile phone

So it sounds like those of us with tickets don't need to go to the fanzone at all if we don't want to. Assuming a lot of us will be in the old town, what is the best way to get to our end of the ground? Same metro stop suggested for the fanzone or can we go more central? :newthumb:

The A line metro has stations either side of the old square and goes straight to the stop West Ham are using for our end of the ground.

So…. What’s the colour scheme we’re all wearing next week?

Watching the Europa League final, it’s fairly obvious who are the Seville (white) or Roma (Red) fans.

I don’t want to go sky blue if the rest of you lot are wearing claret.

I’ll stand out like a sore thumb!

Late lunch, couple of beers in the sunshine around the old square and early metro down to the ground will do nicely 😎

100% this... 10min walk to Národní třída metro stop, 20min Metro number 22 to the Slavia metro stop (11 stops and a metro comes every 5mins) then just a 5 min walk to the stadium (plus no doubt 30mins for security etc if you time it badly).

Gates open at 6pm, they sell beer inside the stadium and kick off isn't until 9pm... No reason to leave it late, get up there and take it all in.

Won't be going anywhere near the fanzone personally.

There will also be concession stands around the stadium too. I imagine it’ll be similar to what’s outside our own, near to the Heineken bar, so no doubt many will congregate there for a few drinks beforehand.
