    Car from Zante plus overnight accommodation in Tripoli after the game - £75ish

    All of the following is typed with fingers firmly crossed and is jinx-free.

    2 of us have booked flights to Zante on Wednesday 1 Aug returning on Saturday the 4th.

    Our plan is to stay on the island overnight then catch the ferry to Kyllini on the morning of the game where we'll pick up a hire car and drive to Tripoli.

    I have booked 2 twin rooms for the night of the game in the Mainalon Resort which is just over a mile from stadium. (There were initially 4 of us interested in the trip which is why I booked 2 rooms).

    We'll drive back to Kyllini in the morning.

    Depending on which car we choose, we'll probably get a bigger one if there are 4 of us, the hire will be around £120. It's about a 250 mile round trip so fuel should be less than £40 and there are some toll roads, but I'm not sure how much they cost. I wouldn't have thought they would be very high, say £20.

    So, unless I've missed anything the total cost for the car would be about £180. If there are 4 of us, it's £45 each.

    Each room room in the Mainalon cost £60 so that's £30 each.

    It would make sense for the same people who travel with us to use the second room so total the cost would be around £75. However, if you'd be interested in just sharing the car or just the accommodation, get in touch.

    I've just reserved a VW Polo for £90. That'll be fine for two 125 mile journeys, even with 4 folk, so the cost should be even less.

    They do try to hit you for excess insurance cover, but it's only for 1 day so it won't be much if we take it.

    I thought that they had.

    All my bookings are cancelable, except the flights, so the worst that can happen is a wee holiday on Zante with the game on Hibs TV!

    It doesn’t need confirmed. The draw stands, there is no conflicting game.

    There is another game in Athens on 2nd August. How do UEFA decide if both teams play same night?

    I know, but they might not want c 1,000 Hibs fans in Athens with the other teams?

    Don’t think it should be an issue. We play at home on the same night as The Rangers in the competition. Glasgow is a lot closer to Edinburgh than Tripoli is to Athens.

    That’s what I’m hoping anyway since I’ve taken the gamble on flights out!

    Athens is obviously a big place which deals with thousands of folk coming and going every day so hopefully it’s not an issue.

    Alright HR,
