    Just back at the apartment supping a beer and sweating my tits off! Back out for the Columbia v Poland match in a bit. Get in John Stones! Now has as many England World Cup goals as Alan Shearer!

    Still nearly as far to Nizhny Novgorod as Barnsley! Worth every air mile mind!

    Very cheap in theory. But there's a very limited number of locals' tickets available. I applied for local rate tickets in Ukraine 2012 and got them for every round bar the final. This time I've had to pay usual prices. Not cheap at all. But the matches have all been fantastic - not just the football but the overall experience has been magical too. Memories to last a lifetime.

    Hi mate. Sorry didn't get to meet up in NN. Was just too full on. Managed first 35 minutes of each half but tied up de-rigging till nearly 8pm. Up in Moscow now. Think we might be up in StP for match 55, then either Kazan or Samara for poss England QF. Are you back in StP? Hopefully cross paths at some point.

    Had to be in our cabin outside ground to co-ordinate half-time pitch side live hit, then again at full time for post match interviews. Then de-rigging, which can't happen for 90 mins after whistle. Pulling fibre cables, admin with host broadcaster etc

    No worries, I assumed you were busy. Just landed back in St Petersburg after a fantastic weekend. Nizhny Novgorod is an absolutely stunning city, isn't it?

    I'm currently trying to find tickets for match 55 for a reasonable price, so far failing miserably, but I'll be around whatever. I also have tickets for both of England's potential QF matches, but a lot depends on transport. I'll keep you posted!

    The atmosphere for the whole tournament has just been amazing. Panama fans definitely helped to make it a special occasion too. The stadium absolutely erupted when they scored! I really hope they manage to beat Tunisia.

    Let me look into tickets. We have a few bought tickets for some of the games. Wouldn’t be a freebie, unfortunately, but at least it’d be face value. Match 55?
