brutal draw for travelling away.

Moscow-no hope

Armenia-no hope

Macedonia-No hope

Will only be making bratislava again and barca

National Whiner's Day is on December 26th, the day after Christmas. It's supposed to encourage people to be grateful for what they already have

Im in for Bratislava and Andorra (Barca?) , might look at Macedonia as alternative options but far off in pipeline. Not a hope for Moscow and I only found out yesterday where Armenia was and I am no way at all going anywhere near it and as my other half said - theres earthquakes there too... Bratislava and Barca here i come.. looking forward to it already (here's hoping though away tickets situation is improved for this campaign, has the loyalty/attendance scheme idea fallen by the wayside?) DOnt want to go through Paris situation all over again.

To those who were thinking the visa for Armenia miht be a problem, it costs about 6 euro and you can get it at the airport when arriving in the country. Just been looking at some stuff, and the place looks beautifull though! Well up for heading to that one!

Only way I'll go back to Bratislava is if I stay in Vienna so.........Vienna could be set for a bonanza.

Armenia and Macedonia both spots with a great history so will be looking at going to these for at least a week to travel around a bit. Weather is good in those spots too, with septembers of 30-35 celsius. Cost will be the main thing though. Yerevan about 450 from here, Skopje about 250. Cant wait for the dates to be set!

Looks beautiful and its a place I would never go normally so why not

And from what I can see the last earthquake in Armenia appears to have been in 1988, so the tourist website seems to have been right when it said they were infrequent.

I didnt word that well - my other half said "and there's earthquakes too" not me- the geography of it will make it hard enough to get to is more what I was thinking...

I've always wanted to go to Moscow, but the stories on here would put me off. I hated Sofia because of all the skin-heads. - can't really enjoy the singing and the banter if you've to look over your shoulder.

Think I will stay in Vienna for the bratislava game. Skopje could be good if in september...

Not sure about Yerevan, at all. Could be a brutal place.

The only way there will be an earthquake is if I jump off tables in the main square.
