Looks like Copenhagen is definite for the first leg

This has also been posted on the sticky thread on the top of the forum, but I'll also post it here:
For you making travel arrangements:
SAS has direct flight Manchester-Copenhagen
Others fly from London, Easyjet etc.
If you're flying to Denmark obviously Copenhagen is the first choice of airport. You could also fly in to Billund, which is about three hours drive from Copenhagen. Ultimately Malmö (Sweden) is a possibility, it's only 45 min. train ride from Copenhagen.
The choice of hotels are big, you can walk from city centre to Parken stadium in about 30 minutes. Drinking on the street is allowed so that makes the walking trip that more interresting :-) Trains to Parken run to Østerport (10 min. walk), busses 1, 14, 15 to trianglen (5 min. walk)
If you choose to make hotel reservations I recommend you to do it in Vesterbro (red light district), which is right behind the main train station. There is a lot of tourist class hotels here. The hostels/hotels mentioned underneath are centrally located, cheap and reccomendable:

The pound is 1 pound to appx. 8 danish kroner. A pint ranges from between 30 to 50 danish kroner (stay away from the bars in the main walking street, as they are very expensive). You could though, arrange with the staff at the Dubliner on the main walking street that you will be arriving, sometimes they make special price deals for travelling supporters of foreign clubs (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.thedubliner.dk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.thedubliner.dk/</a>) A bottle of Tuborg/Carlsberg is appx. 1 pound in the stores, and it is class A beer 4.8% alcohol, not as mentioned in here class B beer. There will be served non-alcoholic beer inside the ground, and you are allowed to bring them to the stands.
If you choose to visit Christiania to experience a selection of smokeable stimulation, you'll need to take the metro to "Christianshavn", do be careful though, as a foreigner getting caught with cannabis/hash etc. you will be hung!!!.....or at least get a hefty fine and probably be locked up during the game.
I'll be updating this post if more comes to mind!
Looking forward to the two games, hopefully we'll do you like we did United at home two years ago ;-)

The weak pound is doing us no favours, 3-star hotels near the train station are in the £90 a night range, when we went to Midgetland they'd have been about £75. I've booked 2 nights in the one below:
