Now that the Euros are out of the way, onto our very own European away. Whose going, many groups? Wheres everyone staying? Where does Nigel Mansell live?
10 of us in some B&B on the front, should be a good laugh. All flying over on Easyjet Friday.

Just a reminder that anybody travelling to the IoM will need to check that they have roaming on their phone that covers the island, we go over for the TT and end up purchasing a SURE PAYG SIM card, there is a branch in the main shopping street

Like is it just as simple as buying one of these sims, sticking it in my phone and then using that for the period while I’m there? How does that work with WhatsApp etc which rely on phone numbers (I think)?

4 of us on the Friday morning ferry, 2 only doing the overnight trip. Voxi contracts allow you to use your "home" package up to 20GB data.

I'm not going. Went to book Easyjet from Bristol, ticked to sit together with the missus, then realised they charged extra for that, tried going back to book without choosing seats, and couldn't undo it. So by trying to screw us for extras, they lost out on a booking for two people.

Can you really not sit next to each other for what at most, a 2 hour flight?

The whole reason easyJet are so cheap is because if you want to do anything your own way with them, they whack on fees. Ryanair are even worse for it. Try it from a different browser and it won't remember your last booking, although I imagine it's too late now.

Going on the ferry tomorrow. The £62 Steam Packet return + match tickets deal is good value I think. I avoid flying if I can help it as I just find it a horrible experience.
I'm only going for the Friday night game but have an adult and a senior's ticket for all four games. If anyone is in the opposite situation and is only going for the Sunday game, drop me a message and you may as well have our tickets.
