Is that route back Yerevan - Vilnius , Vilnius - Stansted , Stansted - Shannon? Price is very tempting but 00.05 flight to Vilnius very tight if game kicks off at 9pm local time. 
I think it's an 8pm ko local time but even then you would never make that midnight flight - when you factor in the time it takes to get from the stadium back to the hotel in town to collect your belongings and then get to the airport and then through security, passport control etc. I'd forget about that itinerary if I were you tbh.

Game kicks off at 8.00, finished 9.45-10.00, google maps says 27 minute walk from stadium to hotel I’m in so would be doable in 15, 15 minute drive from there, latest I see myself being in airport is 11.00 which should be enough time to get through security there, but I will look more into it before booking anything and wait and see if any other routes pop up. 

Really tight with holidays for this one which is the only reason I’m looking into it, would be back wfh for a half day on the Wednesday. Also Wizz air could easily change the time and date of that route, although they already have once.

Was there just before the pandemic, got to the terminal an hour beforehand and was okay. Make sure you get dropped at the right terminal, we weren't and had to wait for a bus.

It would have been ideal if the Armenia & Ukraine games were consecutive 3/4 days apart as it's taking an awful chunk of annual leave Unhappy

I'm considering flying back on the Wednesday to save two days and work them but I think it's way way too tight to be flying home 2/3 hours after the game has ended. There's no comfort in that and it's a fair distance away too. 

Anyone working Monday-Friday really needs to take at least 3 days off for this match.

Six months notice , Scotland the other away,  not ideal  especially with the schedule but  6 days AL to cover both games not the end of the world .

The Monday of this week is a bank holiday so that'll save a day of annual leave

Has anyone booked accommodation yet or know what general areas of the city would be best to book for the usual reasons - Location, proximity to decent eateries and watering holes, the stadium etc etc?

I have the Nova Hotel Yerevan booked. Seems central enough

Ah grand, have booked the unique hotel looks about 10 mins walk from Republic Square. The Stadium seems to be in a great location too for handiness of getting to and from!

Booked the Bien hotel, a decent pool is surely a must with the weather we're likely to have over there, although it's a bit of a further walk down to the city
We're on the one road!

Pool is essential. Booked the best western myself. For those that are fond of the water should look to do a trip to lake Sevan. I put it into the Yandex taxi app to see how much the fare would be and it was less than €12 for a 55 min drive to the lake.

Just booked the Comfort hotel. Had another place booked originally without a pool and a bit of a trek from Republic Square. Thanks for reminding me the pool is a must at that time of year

Good spot alright, so bring your togs. We were a little more adventurous the last time there and if you are staying a few days and want an overnight plus take in the countryside, head to Meghri. It's about 10k from Iran, but the countryside is spectacular. Go on the mountain roads in a local taxi or dodgey driver in the black leather jacket,  and you'll see Iran, or in our case went back roads to a village just inside their border.  Yerevan to Meghri takes about 7 hours  to get there on a bus or better still get a " masrukta".
