I have just been told that the cost of the trip will be £595 for the charter leaving on the Wed and back on the Fri. Steep but i wouldnt miss it. I think that price may put people off though. Any thoughts?

That is steep. Even at this late stage you'll be able to get a much better deal if you're prepared to do the work and travel off the beaten track a bit.
I am stuggling for time off work so would only be interested in a quick "in and out" day trip. Ah well, there's always the next round!

Maribor is only a 12 hour drive from Calais (850 miles).
Dover is only 500 miles from my house.
I can get 4 in my car.

Anyone heard if the club have done anything yet??

I think it will be lucky to even get off the ground at that price. You could get at least a week in Cuba for that price! Originally Posted by ronaldo7

I'm rather reassured by the price, and shall be booking forthwith. Originally Posted by Jamesie

No, one merely has to think of Italian handcrafted leather shoes, and the term 'opportunity cost' springs militantly to mind.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I thought there was a wee chance I could have afforded it, but unfortunately £600 plus spending money is a bit too steep for me and my pals. Had I not booked Blackpool i'd have been going. Here's hoping we get through and get a draw a bit closer to home. Gutted to be missing out but apprentice wages don't really stretch to a trip to Slovenia or Hungary unfortunately!

Unless they plan to charter the Presidential plane and do luxury hotels, I really serious doubt they could get the numbers to make it viable at that price.

Its steep.
On easyjet from Stanstead to Slovenia £175 and 40 euros to maribor by train and hotel for two nights around £100 for a twin. Independent travel for me.

So if 250 people pay £595 that makes a total of £148,750.
Now I dont know much about the cost of hiring a plane but I know I could get two nights B&B at a hotel for £70-£80. (Cost for party £20,000) Add in the cost of some coaches for the journey to and from the airport at say £30 per head return (Cost for party £7500) So where has the remaining £121,750 gone..

I'm sure it's nothing to do with him, but why is the word 'Petrie' suddenly ringing in my ears? Originally Posted by Hot Shot Hamish
