Wouldn't worry about lack of Sat games, they will be filled. Poss one Sat taken up with trip to Spain. We are hoping for Aston Villa somewhere, but until the Cup Final is played, and they know if they are playing Community Shield 2/Aug the nothing can be confirmed there.

I couldn't imagine anything more tedious than a nothing game with Morecambe.

The sarcasm would be effective if he wrote 'Shrimps'..

Is that a definite? Sport v Daggers July 18th. Flights from Ryanair coming up pretty cheap and know through working and living in Holland that Brabant region quite well, Helmond's only about 10 miles from Eindhoven, its a great part of the world, with a fine beer culture/pub scene which would go down well in a hot July weekend. Cafe Jack was a 4am job!so wouldn't bother hotel

Seemed like a real bargain, booked a Ryanair £80 quid return flights- Stansted to Eindhoven fly out early Saturday, first flight back Sunday, really hope you make it Paul and a few others.

Just for info we are staying at the Hotel Pullman Eindhoven Cocagne(4 star) ,and it's about 34 quid each for the room and gotta say looks a smashing hotel,swimming pool too,so a nice morning swim for me!As dagdale has said the ground is only 10 or 15 min train ride away from Eindhoven and Steve looked it up and it's just over 3 euros.So it looks like being a great weekend at reasonable cost,in fact so far it's worked out cheaper than our Carlisle/Edinburgh weekend!So come on daggers lets get out there in numbers and have a great time.

After phoning Helmond, the game is definitely a full Daggers team. It's free admission to everyone and it's a 4pm kick off local time. They're looking forward to meeting all the Daggers fans who travel. Helmond station isn't too far from Eindhoven, only a short train ride.
