As the last games of the football season came to a close recently, we all know who will be going into the European Champion cups next year. At the last game between Falkirk and Inverness CT the home team won 1-0, there were scenes of jubilation as the fans through beach balls, rubber rings and airbeds into the air.

Falkirk will not be in Europe next year, they are only staying up in the SPL, but the true supporters may think this is a good sign for next season, however there are plenty of other teams that will be making the trip
to various cities in the Continent.

As an avid supporter you will be soon be waiting and watching to see what team and country you will be visiting. As the credit crunch is now biting hard, decisions have to be made “ how can I save money to watch MY team abroad?”

Cost cutting is what we in Britain do best, when the draw is made and your team is drawn to play a foreign team its straight onto the internet to get cheap flight tickets. Booking budget hotels are always good value but it’s a true saying “you get what you pay for”, basic room with a bed that a million people have used before you and a cover that has been woven out of barbed wire. Sorry that’s not for me!

Book that budget room and buy an airbed and a camping sleeping bag this will ensure that you have all the comforts of your own room and a great nights sleep, and the best news is that air beds, like sleeping bags, roll into a convenient sleeve and weigh virtually nothing so this will not interfere with your duty allowance.
