Not long to go to Euro 2012 . So are
you thinking of going. What has Poland and Ukraine got to offer.
The weather, stadiums,how much is food,
hotel's,price of a pint ,transport ,are you going to get your head
kicked in ,are you going to be beaten up and thrown in jail by nasty
police . What is night life music,bands like , street crime
pickpockets gangsters prostitution . The locals are they friendly do
they speak any English,
Having followed England abroad in the
bad days. Not the most enjoyable jaunts . But I am Scouse not English
. Things have changed ,but have they in virgin capitalistic countries
such as Poland and Ukraine . So in my view I will categorise points
into good and bad , you can make your own mind up .

So there is a brief look at Ukraine if England make it to Poland your on your own . No seriously you will be well bedded in by then . Plus a fair chunk of England will be their with you then . But I did come across this video of the two rival teams in Kiev having ,only what I can call the mother of all punch ups . Off the top of my head it reassures me in one way but not in other . The fact they have gone in the wilds to sort their difference is OK . Not doing it in city centres with police intervention. Ajax and Feyenoord did that sort of thing all the time in the early 90s But it puts worries in my head about England supporters staying in out of town camp sites on mass . Beware the evidence of this video tells me you might get a visit . I speak from experience Sardinia World cup 90.TAKE CARE
WARNING THIS VIDEO CONTANTS EXTREME VIOLENCE
