    Very funny mate ....

    .... the only good thing about travelling to Frankfurt by coach was that Plymouth away will be a cakewalk! .... cos that was an experience never to be repeated .... hence my query re airports!!

    Weeze its called

    too many of them wheat beers in the last few days!

    flight took 45 mins - not too sure how you would get to that venue from the airport though.

    There is a direct bus for 16 euro return to dusseldorf but that is south of Weeze as is that venue.

    if theres a few of you can't imagine a taxi would be much and there were a few at the airport.

    RE: Thanks for that mate, cheap flights with Ryanair ....

    true - i looked at the map again and not sure now if you would be better trying to get a flight to d.dorf international - but this would be bit dearer.

    anyway 62 quid is a bargain and not too far from the game - if i were you i would take the risk and book it - i'd be extremely surprised if we failed to make the quarters.
