Hi all! Well I've arrived at my spot for the week.

Will try to keep you updated with match action etc, although not expecting that to be until Saturdays game (unless something changes last minute).

Don't plan to have Internet all the time though so may not be as constant as Scotland. Bit of a tight arse and keeping my roaming off the phone!

Do have wifi at the hotel though so will be able to give more details when I return. Anyway, not wanting to wish the days away!

I've only just had a beer with my meal so not sure how much they are! Probably expensive if the meals in the hotel restaurant are anything to go by

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 14, 2013

I know the Dutch like cutting their ear's off, but now they're serving them with meals?!?

sw88 · Jul 14, 2013

€5.50 a pint of Heineken

That's what I thought. Just staying local tonight (and by the looks of my surroundings which appears all green apart from the odd cow there isn't much near by)

If Amsterdam's anything to go by....I'd have thought he's paying a lot! Charged 40 euros for 4 feckin pints in one bar over there, crikey. Although I was awfully stoned at the time so didn't think much of it

Not quite that much

Players anywhere near where your staying?

Just spotted Baker has 'checked in' on Facebook! Bet Tim won't be happy with that! Or Pressley! Not that an fans are likely to turn up! Nor is it likely Tim will be with the squad. They're in Arnhem. Not too far away. Kinda knew that's where they were heading so got somewhere in the proximity.

Out of curiosity, I checked how much the rooms were at their hotel. £85 a night. Times that by 7 (I assume they'll stay until Sunday and not go straight after Saturdays game) for each staff member and player, makes me wonder where the cash is coming from. Whilst still paying the players and staff wages........ Why couldn't we afford the rent? We seem pretty well off........

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 14, 2013

Arnhem is Vitesse...right? My knowledge isn't that great.

Seen any other City fans about yet?

That's right, yes.

No other fans. Then again, after I got off the plane, I'm yet to meet any English! Have stayed in the hotel since arriving tough, so might get to see more in the coming days.

Only know of one other fan being over here already though

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 14, 2013

Alright. Have a good time and keep us updated!

I dunno, everyone seems to be laughing at the name "Coventry City Football Club" at the moment as well
