Good fucking luck with that. Last time I used that word on here I got a 48 hr ban.Was this meant for the personal ads ? Anyhow I think you’re supposed to use the word “gay” these days mate.

Surely Shirley surly there’s more than 8500 on the scheme? How have you arrived at that figure?8500 on the cup scheme. Does anyone think I have a chance even if it is the £500 tickets
I think he meant he was on the cup scheme with 8500 points, not that there are only 8500 on the cup scheme.Surely Shirley surly there’s more than 8500 on the scheme? How have you arrived at that figure?
Doesn’t the email off the club say the test has to be after 1pm on Thursday to cover everything?Not yet but I'm booking tomorrow. Me and my dad. Take the test to Manchester Thursday morning, covers flight out, includes the day 2 proof to get back.
Seems almost too simple for this shenanigans to be true but all checks out and 'official' link up with supporters club.
Such a shame we have to worry about this really
We've got the same predicament as you regarding the PCR tests, we go Thursday to Tuesday. Only booked the 3 day advanced before travel test, gave up trying to sort the rest out, it was doing my head in.Logistics for this are scarey...and expensive.
PCR test booked 3 days in advance before travel, 1 day is not enough, test result may not arrive in time.
Then another test in Portugal for the match, if your travel is couple days before the match, as original test result will have expired.
Then a test to come back into UK.
Then a Day 2 test in UK (or you will be fined).
If a test result at any stage is positive then you don't get to travel. On the return to UK this could mean you are stranded in Portugal for 5 or more days.
Sorry to point out the obvious.
My flights (with wife) booked and hotel booked. PCR tests arranged, Day 2 test arranged.Was hard work !!
3 nights in Lisbon, 3 nights in Porto.
Hoping for a ticket and negative PCR tests !!
Wel l done everyone that has jumped through all the hoops.
One of the things I’ve thought about is if there are say 4000 on the official trip - how many won’t make it to Porto because they missed the plane, forgot to do a test, tested positive for covid, became ill, had to work etc? There could easily be 100 people that happens to but because they’re on official trips where tickets are handed out on the plane surely those 100 tickets could be sold at the ground?Good luck everyone who qualifies today. For anyone further down the ladder, I still think there’s a chance with UEFA’s ballot. Even if you don’t get one in that, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few end up back on sale at the ground. I can’t imagine many neutrals wanting to travel too far to watch a game in the current climate. Porto residents, maybe, but anyone further afield in Portugal and beyond probably can’t be arsed.
I think what may help is that we're already at 16,500 points and virtually none of the most expensive have yet sold. The club may still also be holding some back, so I don't see the 1,915 left as being an accurate number.Would have said none yesterday, but I think there is a slim chance now.
Have You booked your PCR tests over in Portugal?Logistics for this are scarey...and expensive.
