Me and SteveW all booked for a few days at the above,flights very reasonable for the time of year,southend or Stansted to faro,weve done a bit of both.Stansted going out sarfend coming back.Long time to go yet but hopefully by the time we get down there,there will be plenty more daggers going for the crack.There was certainly a few excited boys at the forum when it was announced,eindhoven was awesome so im sure this will too.

Yeah I'm also interested in spending a few days over there. I wasn't at the fans forum where it was first announced, were there any other details passed? I'm sure like me, others would be grateful if you could share.

me and steve are staying in monte gordo close to beach,and the complex where players will be is just a little bit further near the Spanish border in vila real de santo Antonio.
thommo hasn't confirmed yet but me and stevew have been doing a bit of detective work anyway and its obviously the complexo deportivo de vila real de santo Antonio.I looked on the events calendar and pitch no.2 is booked from 7-13 july and steve then went on luton website to see that they were there in 2013 and 2015.And on the last trip there were a certain benno,matt robbo, Elliot justham and jake howells all in attendance,nice pitches and a cracking stadium,where it looks like a few younger Portugal teams have played.

I'm sure they'll be delighted at being stalked in Portugal. They might even let you drunkenly cheer at them whilst they do a set piece drill.
