By the time the loan signees go back it will be five a side (if everyone else recovers from their injuries).

Think my cousins stag do to Amsterdam was £150 for 3 nights and flights (from Bristol). Granted the Hotel was a shit-hole, but staying in Holland is quite cheap and everywhere seems to be commutable by train.

Eurostar to Amsterdam for £50 each way.

Getting to Eurostar from Plymouth? Probably at least £100!

So there's £300 there and back by train.

Plymouth to Amsterdam by car about 550 miles. 1100 miles there and back. 40 mpg @ £1/litre = approx £60 for fuel. Eurotunnel £23 each way. 4 in a car there and back for £25 or so each.

I think you can fly to Amsterdam from Exeter. No idea how much that costs.

guys its dawned on me that the gullible 16 who will pay for this trip may in fact be funding the trip for the club too. why else would it cost so much?

16 x £995 = £15,920. I'd imagine that a reasonable group package for, say 50 people to the Netherlands could be put together for that sort of bunce.

Quite right, Les.

£125 ish.

Plus tunnel.

Say 50 each easily.

Flights, transfers + 5 nights b&b could probably be put together for around £300-350.

I don't think it's any secret that the 16 who pay a grand will be heavily subsidising the trip for the whole tour party. Official club packages have always been the same. Even Argyle would admit that.

I suppose it depends just how far up the Aviva-scale you are, whether you are willing to stump up the extra £6-700 to breathe the same room oxygen as your green heroes.

As it goes, I'm a bit miffed that I'm gonna be busy around then, because that would be a great excuse for two or three days in Amsterdam. Hell, we might even have thought about taking in a game!
