Getting a drink after the game could be a problem.

Supermarket, and have it in your hotel room, is my plan, but I'll be having some before the game ;-)

Great link though, thanks.

I've done a bit of research on the bars - try this: http://www.kharkovinfo.com/pubs-and-breweries-in-kharkov.html. This bar is mentioned, to quote "A rock'n'roll sport pub with Irish atmosphere". Sounds OK, but will probably try some more beer oriented bars first. On the Irish pub, which one do you mean? As always, there are quite a few. The thing about the "Patrick Irish Pub" mentioned in the link is that it's supposed be open 24 hours - I tend to doubt this, but if it is I don't care what the landlord's like. Getting a drink after the game could be a problem.

Cheers for the link.
We’re on the Thomas Cook trip for this one, I presume they’ll drop us in the centre of Kharkiv, a square of some description?
Can’t wait for this, heading into Eastern Europe for the first time

Take a coat.

They're forecasting highs of -2°C with periods of Snow during the day. Expected to drop to -7°C at night (and kick off is 21.45 local time). Can't wait!

Fair play to those going. Respect from jrb.

The club should give you all at least 100 loyalty points each.

Zincheno is ineligible, and can not play. Davenport could maybe play left back. Apparently, he almost made the squad against Wolves
