![]() 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). 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 Oh fantastic! Might try and integrate myself with the squad and possibly get myself a trial (depending on whether Simon Wilson is looking for a 46 year old, overweight, immobile right back). Either that or I meet you in the bar for a few beers.

Hiring a car if I can get goldcar at the normal £18 a day I get. Excess cover and laugh when they try to charge me for a dent and show them the video. Mum has a house in Los Alcararez but won't let me stay there as she's seen the state of what I attend County with! Murcia definitely the best Airport. Passport control takes 5 minutes. Checking and security on way home is 20 on a bad day! We have got an apartment on the front for about £350 for 4 of us so happy days. See you at the Airport!

The old airport was miles better for location. See how this year goes

Think there was two flights going at more or less the same time, one to Manchester and one to London. One big free for all, staff stood round watching and doing nothing.

Anybody flying back on the Saturday afternoon flight got spare space in a car from murcia to the airport? More than happy to pay a fare share of the travel cost.

Trying to work out the best flights. Ideally don't want to be on the 6am Wednesday morning flight, as that means leaving my house at about 3am. So, the question is, do I get the 08:40 flight to Murcia or the 09:40 flight to Alicante then hire a car to get to and from Alicante.
