thanks.
Why don't you get your head out of your ass and read my posts properly?
Fuck off seriously. I am getting annoyed by this. I don't hate England or anything, I'd love to go and visit London's site for a day or two, but other than that,
it isn't exactly on my top 10 places to visit before I die. You in your mind are probably thinking that Polska is anti-English from the italicized sentence. Read it again, I said nothing anti-English, and I would appreciate if you didn't claim so.
@ Luxorz, I'd like to have a good time while at the WC. I mean, the games are only on later in the day, and not everyday, i'd like to do something inbetween and after the games.
this is a long post - Polska it is intended for you to read - please read it, it took ages.
fair enough if what you are refering to doing is hanging out on the beach and chilling out then the mediteranean is a far better place to do it than England! if exploring cities and countryside is your thing then the UK can not be beat! also you can fly to a spanish beach resort inbetween games! a 2 hour flight at the most, £100 would see you there and back, accomodation would be cheaper if the WC wasn't in Spain!
for instance; Poland play Uruguay in their opening game of the World Cup on Monday 12th June at old trafford! you arrived 2 days beforehand, so have had plenty of time to explore Manchester! on Saturday you were pretty tired so got some sleep and then went to the city centre for an English piss up and to soak up the atmosphere of the opening game - England beat Costa Rica 3 1. on Sunday you awake early to do some shopping as you heard it was far cheaper to buy a UK adapter in England and you figured there would be a better selection of rain coats at the Trafford Centre than in tropical Venezuela. you also visit Man City's ground for a holiday snap! you are a football fan after all. such is your excitement at being at a World Cup you make sure you are in a bar or fan fest for all 3 games that day before retiring early as its Polands big day in the morrow. Monday is all about the game, you hang out in the city centre with a shitload of Poles and watch one of the other games on the big screen before taking the train to the stadium. Poland draw, and you party into the night.
you know that Poland dont play again until the 17th in London, so you have planned a 3 day trip to Barcellona and Calella where you have found cheap accomodation. you spend your first night there exploring Barca and then chill out on the local beaches before heading to London the night before Polands game with Italy.
you find a hostel for 3 days in London as its pricey and have a look around, see the sights watch Poland lose at the Emirates and you are at a loose end until the 22nd when Poland play South Africa in Plymouth. you realise you hav'nt seen half of what you intended in London so stop another couple of days, Brazil are playing at Wembley and you wanna try and get a ticket so you stay until the 20th.
you take a 6 hour train ride to Newquay as you've heard thats where the surfers hang out and the accomodation is cheap and only an hour on the national express from the stadium. so you take in the natural beauty of the English Riviera, rent a surf board, get stoned with a bunch of Saffa's that you meet and watch Poland beat South Africa and scrape through to the last 16 back up in Manchester on the 27th of June.
you have 3 days to kill before you are due at the CoMS and you want to arrive the night before so you spend a couple of days in Birmingham as Scotland are playing Australia at Villa Park and it should be a laugh. you watch the game and the following day you take it easy at the bullring (shopping centre) and eat out and party in china town and the custard factory. back to Manchester where Poland beat Portugal on penalties.
you've already seen Manchester and Polands QF game is in Newcastle on the 1st of July so you take the train to Edinburgh for a couple of days sight seeing before heading back south of the border in time for the game. Argentina await and are too strong for the plucky Poles who crash out 3 0.
with no more tickets and touted tickets going for silly money and your flight from Lodon back to South America isn't until a couple of days after the final you decide to catch a cheap flight to Genoa where you spend nearly a week riding the train, chilling out and relaxing on the beaches of northern italy and the south of france.
you take the highspeed train from Marseille to Paris where you have a day and a half of sightseeing before taking the Eurostar back to London in time to soak up the atmosphere of the World Cup Final - England 6 0 Argentina! and then you fly home.
this could be the reality of watching a World Cup in England! there is plenty to do here but if you wanted to go to the Med you could do that too. it just so happens, we have the venues good enough to host a world cup extremely well and the infrastructure to open up all kinds of possibilities to a tourist with cheap flights and excellent transport links. you could base yourself in Belgium for the duration of the tournament and commute to every game if you so wished!!
