  Just registered on this site. Let me tell you that kick off has been announced on Braga site as 6pm, local time, which of course is the same as in Britain.



 I´m going to the game as it´s only a couple of hours ride from where I´m staying in Vigo. Having been to the ground a couple of times,  I have to say that it will be a nice chance to see the Villa in action in a great stadium.


 I´ll return as soon as the match ends but, if anyone wants an extra tip on the city, let me tell you that, if you are not flying back from Porto early Sunday, it would be preferable to stay in Braga as it has enough things to keep you entertained, at least for a night.

Almost sure now I'll be up for this now. Should be in Braga on the Saturday around 10.30 onwards. If anybody is up for a good feed and a few beers before the game, let me know. Obvious meeting up place for all Villa fans will probably be in the centre, around the historical Praça da Republica.

We're going by train.  Down to London, Eurostar, TGV, sleeper, then another train.  Oh the joys.

Fair Play to you ! Did that cost much ? I'm flying on Friday morning but I would have done that just for the hell of it.

I'm not even thinking about the journey.  24 hours travelling, an overnighter in an hotel, and then another 24 hour journey.  Add to that the fact I'll still be jetlagged from HK.

I've already got your agenda planned, Pauline. An early morning treck up the mountain to this place before the game will soon sort you out.
