Shit support...

Greece is actually one of the cheapest at the moment if we're going to get picky.

Not getting picky, but - when did you last go to Greece?

A litre of unleaded costs about 1.18 euros and always increases in the summer by 10% for the tourist trade, especially on the islands.

A litre of petrol is just over 1.00 Euro in Luxembourg which apparently is cheap compared to neighbouring countries. I am driving to Eindhoven on Saturday so will see how expensive it is in Holland. Pretty sure Germany is around 1.40 Euro a litre. This could be bollocks!

...and the price has recently gone up due to tax increases as part of the austerity measures their government is bringing in. Along with a civil service pay rise freeze, increase in the retirement age etc. The Greeks don't like that sort of thing, I can see yet more violence on the streets. Hopefully they will eventually pull out of the Euro, get the Drachma back and devalue like buggery. Cheap holidays again - happy days!

The scary thing about Greece and has been for the last four or five years is the Mafia. No dont laugh it is bloody true. Who do you think has been burning all the land around Athens to build new property.

The Drachma will never come back I'm afraid even though the Greeks would love it to. When you go to the markets you will still find fruit and veg marked up in Euros and Drachmas, the local yokels hate the Euro.

PS I flew back from Greece late Monday night and nothing has increased drastically since I visited last year, it will of course and Greece is not going to be a cheap place to go to in the future for holidays which again will kill the economy which is already totally fucked.

I looked it up on the AA.

The original point was one of the highest, not the highest. 1.18 euros is cheap compared to here.

I'm going to PSV v Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday. Now PSV Eindhoven have shit support. Went last season at home to Roda JC. Stadium was sold out, and we were nice and toasty thanks to heaters in the roof of the stand!! And you can drink beer in the ground as well!

Roda won 3-2 and the PSV fans only sang just after they scored, it was as if they expected to win (they should have done on paper being top of the league) Roda fans were great and never stopped singing from 1st minute to last (I think even if they had been hammered they would still have sung).

Hopefully the atmosphere on Sunday is a little better, although I expect I will have the hangover from hell as going out in town Saturday night.

I thought you had to get an I.D card to attend any game in Holland  (top flight games anyway) Is that not the case any more?

Nope, not as far as I am aware OST. We've been able to get tickets both times very easily. Maybe they still have ID cards for the bigger games against Feyenoord and Ajax. That said, there was a large police presence looking after the Roda fans before the game, I know Rotterdam is a bit of a rough place so I am guessing Sparta being in the shadow of Feyenoord might have a bit of a tasty support. We'll see!

All Dutch teams have tasty support.
