Anyone going to Kiev...

Not open for further replies.
I didn’t see many around the ground at Istanbul. I was fucking smashed though.

You might get a bit of luck this time around, I reckon Madrid won’t bring loads so there will be a few neutral ones floating about.
I’ll be landing there from the Friday morning... Istanbul day I believe too! Perfect omen for me. So I will get to hunting that bad boy down!
This will be my first ever away trip, yet alone a European cup final. I’m having this.
 
I wont have any belongings with me, I’ll be taking a small bag with 5 T-Shirts and 5 boxies and socks.

And technically, with my death in service work thingy, I’m worth more dead than alive. I’ll see what my next of kin think.
Costs next to fuck all but worth it. Mainly do it for private health care if something shit happens.

Don't take 5 socks. Actually, only if we get 2 points vs Brighton this weekend.

Five? Five???? How long you going for - 5 weeks?

If you're fussy turn them inside out & back to front and you'll get 4 days out of each one
 
Haha - look what the best band in the world did!! There's uproar on their FB page, so I just had to congratulate them for an excellent decision & invite them to play for us in Kiev

 
... but for those of you at the B team event (Liverpool drinkies), you can make it a two night party and see the Bunnymen at the Phil on Friday night as a warm up event

Leave the house Thursday 4.30am, get back Monday 3pm. That’s a pair a day. Standard hygienic practice I would have thought.

What if I wanna go and see a brass in Warsaw on the Sunday night? Finish the weekend off in style.
 
Thought you'd react 🙂 But seriously - go up a day early and take in the bunnymen, they do an excellent live show

Ah - See I don't leave til 10am Thursday and I should be home by about 1pm Monday, so I don't need as many pairs as you.

You could always wear the hooker's panties on the flight home
 
Suggestion from one LFC fan in the Facebook group:
Can I make a suggestion to fans travelling from Liverpool?
Why not take your old memorabilia (hats ,scarves,shirts etc)to Kyiv to give to the locals that have been so kind to us all
Anybody that would like to donate anything that is not traveling,I can collect and ensure it gets to Kyiv
I’ll even send you a picture of the kind recepient wearing the item as proof
Just a thought
Safe travels people

A few days ago I didn't know how this was going to turn out, but now I know it's going to be a fucking wicked trip.

Off to see Arctic Monkeys with the family and a load of my lad's mates in Berlin on the Wednesday. Piedro and a few more turn up in Berlin on Thursday. Meeting a couple of other mates in Warsaw Friday night. Flying into Kiev and being picked up and looked after by Rurik's mate Saturday lunch.

Famous last words... but what could possibly go wrong?
 
I've got shit I can bring. Loads of old scarves and that. Im gonna wear my Istanbul hat.

Rurik, do we get to meet again?

Alyona Tkachenko is at Kiev.

Dear football fans and other guests here are some Tips from local Kiev citizen :
First of all you need to know that there are two airports in Kiev
- main international airport KBP (Kyiv Boryspil airport) is situated 30km from Kiev, approx 45km from city center. The cheapest way to get to the city is a special bus - Sky Bus (link with all the info http://skybus.kiev.ua/en/), which is passing metro and going to Central Railway station. Ticket price : 100 UAH ( about 3,2€). Or you can use Uber or local analog called Uklon (apps available for IOS or Android). Both taxis you can pay by card or cash (yes...here Uber accept cash

).
Advice- never use a taxi in airport arrival hall, prices are extremely high...
- second airport Kyiv Zhuliany airport (low-cost)- situated in the city. You can take a bus (50 m from terminal B, use bus #9 or 22 to city center), a trolley or taxi services above.
Kiev metro
- we have a very easy metro, only three lines: blue, red and green. You can use both green (Palats Sportu station) or blue (Olimpiyska station) lines to get to the Stadium. But in the match days this stations will be closed due to security reasons. You can get to nearest station and walk 5-7 mins.
Main metro stations are Maidan Nezalezhnosty and also Ploshcha Lva Tolstogo. That’s the best spots if you want to start exploring the city (Independence square, cafes and restaurants, city tours and other are here).
Currency exchange
- 1€ cost 32UAH, 1$ - 26UAH.
You can change currency everywhere in the city, rates can slightly differ but it’s not critical. Advise: don’t change money in the airport. It’s safe but rates are worse. You can change up to 20€ - that’s totally enough for getting to the city center and your hotel.
Kiev is the city of great bars and restaurants. Prices are affordable. But you better reserve the table in advance on Friday and Saturday. By the way there are plenty of places that are working till 3am or even open 24H. And even on Sundays...and even groceries

Go to Shota Rustaveli street for nice speak-easy bars ( De Bosch, Alchemist, Par Bar) or cafes serving “all day breakfasts”.
Mobile -
We have three mobile operators - Lifecell, Vodafone and Kyivstar. You can buy a very cheap (or even free but with 0 amount) SIM card in every grocery shop. Just 3-5€ (100-150UAH) will be enough for using 3G and mobile for couple of days.
If you want to have a free city tour or planning a trip/excursion next time... here is Святослава Максимчук and Kiev Friendly Tours https://www.facebook.com/kievfriendly/
They are arranging free city tours on 23, 24, 25 and 26 of May (on eng).
Meeting point - Golden Gates at 11:00!
In case of emergency - call from mobile -
Police - 102
Ambulance - 103
Hope you won’t need it!

Welcome to Kiev and enjoy your stay!
 
Yeah, I've been trying to find signed shirts or something for our host. Will sort something in time I think.
 
What is wrong with the world when the thread about a few lads gogin for a compensation pint in Liverpool when they can't get to Kiev has twice as many posts as the thread about going to Kiev?

Get a grip & get posting in here - we're getting shown up by a bunch of wannabes

😉
 
Tom, give it up.

Only 4 of us going. I'm half tempted to cancel my shit and go out with the lads in town.

Whos going? Me, You, Woland, Daniel Thomas?

Maybe Lefty too if we can sort Tix.
