New kits, released/retained list and pre season friendlies? Isn’t anyone else shattered and could do with a few weeks off for a bit? I agree but this Spanish trip needs planning.

Maybe the club don't want to promote it *too* much. If it's just 200-300 dedicated fans then it's quite managable. If they start advertising it early doors and a few thousand fans, drunk off being proclaimed champions book it, then it could be more of an issue for them in terms of controlling numbers and being liable for their behaviour (not that there will be an issue, but you get what I mean in terms of managing risk). You can't really pick and choose which fans you want going to games, either have it behind closed doors or let people take the opportunity to go If we had games in North Korea the usual suspects would manage somehow to get over there to watch.

Easy enough to visit tbf (or at least it was pre-Covid). Not cheap though, and as you may expect there are one or two restrictions on where you can go! The ultimate bubble match...

Im on same flight going out, coming back with easyjet Lovely stuff. We’ve got a ludicrous plan for the Saturday so needed that later flight on the Sunday. There was a slightly cheaper flight out but total false economy flying at 6am and being up at 3am.

![]() I am IN. Doing Tuesday to Saturday - flying Manchester to Murcia Airport which seems a lot closer that Alicante Airport. Hotel booked at The Thalasia which is about a 10 min walk from the arena. Currently on my own but if anyone is doing a similar route then happy to share transport to/from the airport. Also I'll need drinking buddies when I'm there if I don't get anyone to come along with me (will be tapping Gibbo for this, mind, so be warned).

Trains are non existent in that part of Murcia but the Spanish equivalent of National Express are called Alsa and they provide an excellent service to all parts of the country. www.alsa.esI think they have an English page but it's pretty straightforward in Spanish. Murcia is a fantastic City for those more interested in City breaks as opposed to high rise tourist resorts. I can't be there but I'm more than happy to help anyone with any advice they may want.

![]() I am IN. Doing Tuesday to Friday - flying Manchester to Murcia Airport which seems a lot closer that Alicante Airport. Hotel booked at The Thalasia which is about a 10 min walk from the arena. Currently on my own but if anyone is doing a similar route then happy to share transport to/from the airport. Also I'll need drinking buddies when I'm there if I don't get anyone to come along with me (will be tapping Gibbo for this, mind, so be warned). Murcia is definitely the easier option, we did it last year. Only reason we haven’t done that is because of what we want to do on Saturday. Vicar has a mate who does taxi runs from Murcia, we used him last year and he was sound. Can pass on his number if you want.

Having said that, we’re staying in Torrevieja again so only 40 mins from Alicante.

Anyone else on the same flight is free to share and split the cost.....

I'm at Thalasia where the club are staying, it's a bit further out from bars and restaurants but as say near the arena, it was also great value 120 for 4 star with brekkie for 4 nights

I need to get everything booked for this then. Need to speak to work about potentially working during the days, as I don't have loads of spare holidays ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/5458784/images/nQPoSIK_iUaf9knSLEhD.gif)
