    Over night stays

    I look after 88 of the 92 clubs and a colleague looks after the other 4 (as he has contacts at those). About 85% of clubs book through 3rd party agents whom I also manage but of those I look after direct, 4 of them are top PL clubs. Keeps me out of trouble!

    Over night stays

    Oh right, I get ya. You'd be surprised but some chain hotels can go that low at weekends. I think the lowest I've seen is probably £80 BB (£90 if it's a twin) plus meal requirements on top. Off course in London, you'd double that or even triple it in some of our properties.

    Over night stays

    Teams don't stay at B&Bs NW....they normally stayed in branded hotels, boutique hotels or good quality independent hotels. Places like Blackpool though, there can be an issue around some groups. You also have weddings in hotels every weekend and then probably more of an issue, you have Xmas...

    Over night stays

    So, this is my line of work as I deal with accommodation requirements of professional sports teams globally although mainly with the 92 league clubs. An average L1 overnight stay with pre-match meal would probably come in around £2k depending on if the teams twin up in the rooms. We are one of...

    Yeah, I guess so. The gap between the international teams is not the same as it was 20/30 years ago. The so called minnows are closer to the big boys in terms of ability nowadays. I'm not saying we could be world beaters but you're right, nations like NI are making more of a fist of these...

    Yeah, you could also point to Denmark in 1992 who only came in after the then Yugoslavia were booted out. I know what you're saying...over 30 years of being a Cov and NI fan though Otis has always told me to be totally be pessimistic then results like last night are all the more satisfying.

    Swindon Away Tickets

    It was indeed. Anyone remember the game against them when they were in the top flight? We lost 3-1 to a Jan Aage Fjortoft hat-trick, Julian Darby with our response. I met Phil Neal afterwards who seemed non-fussed about the defeat. Then I met Killer in the bar afterwards as he was on their...

    Michael O'Neill

    Fair comment...same way I could only name 2 players in the Welsh side and maybe a couple in the Scottish. O'Neill seems to have installed some belief in the team. We're likely to get battered in France but just to be there will be amazing. We can continue to dream of results such as vs Spain...

    O'Donovan in Australia

    Nice to see a WAG doing her bit to discourage the 'money-grabbing cow' persona that a lot of them have.

    O'Donovan in Australia

    To be fair, Reading is closer to London than Cov. Met him once in one of the places I used to work. Nice guy.

    Sorry about the tenuous link but tonight, I'm a bloody proud Northern Irishman as we've reached our first major championship in nearly 30 years. I was 6 the last time so it's the first in living memory. Lead by Michael O'Neill who started his playing career at my hometown, Coleraine, he played...

    Bale named Welsh player of the Year

    I was at that awards ceremony. He won 3 awards that night. Only Ramsey would've come close on all 3. Coleman picked up an award as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CT interview with Venus

    Yup...said this a few times about the importance of MV and how good a job he's doing. Good to see the owners getting something right.
