Perhaps folks can post the reasons they are not going and the YBIG jury will decide if they are valid. |

That's boll ocks. What's it got to do with anyone or the need for others to judge or validate the reason why someone can't be in Poland? |

Alright then. Lets just have a thread with people not going simply signing their name....... With 5 million people in Ireland, it could get quite tedious.  |

It sounds to me like the biggest mistake you are ever going to make. Realistically how much is going to cost you? 2K approx for 10 days which will cover all 3 group games. How would it take you to pay off a 2k loan - less than €170 a month. Ireland don't quality for tournaments that often and this one is probably the most feasible and affordable one that we will ever get too. If we quality for Brazil the flights alone will cost approx 2k. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Like your thinking Horsebox. A friend of mine once said to me "You cant buy back memories......" meaning if you want something, push the boat out (within reason) and go for it. The poland trip will cost less than 2000 euro if you are sensible. Then you've got 4 years to save for the next one.

It can cost a lot less than 2k if you want it too. I have direct flights and 9 nights accomadation for €310. All only booked about 10 days ago. Spain ticket cost €70 and I'm hopeful of getting one for the Italy game for the same price. Thats €450 for flights, a bed and match tickets. Factor in another €1000 for food, beer, match day travelling and you should be sorted.
But I am sure anybody who has ruled out going has not decided to do so without a lot of hard thought.

In 5..10.15...20...years time when you are boring the pants of your kids, family with all the great stories from Polkraine or just reminiscing once again with your mates that were with you....the €2k or €3k debt you had for it will be long gone and you wont even remember how much of a loan you got or how long it took you to pay back etc... I am talking from experience. I am not suggesting anyone to be irresponsible but a few k of loan can be paid back within a couple of years and those memories will be around until you snuff it.

You could try a 2k loan from the credit union when u get home.my local one is is offering 2k loan and pay back overnsome thing like 25 euro per week over 2 years.you d have to start saving immediately and maybe have a guarantor.its costin us 750 approx for flights and 16 nights accomodation all over the place incl trains.add another 300 for group games.it ll cost no more than 1,200 for ya and then 800 for whatever drinkin/food money after that.the credit union is worth a try ------------- Wings?

Whelo €310 for accommodation , €450 for flights , €70 for a match ticket not taking into account atleast two more games provided you get tickets + €1,000 spending money?

You misunderstand, €450 is my projected total spend. So far including flights, accommodation and my Spain ticket I've spent €378. €213 for the flights, €95 for 9 nights in Torun and €70 for Spain ticket. Add €70 for the Italy game and thats €448.

Resigning myself to this list I'm currently out of work on sick leave. It's the first time in my life I've ever had time off for being ill, talk about bad timing. It blows any chance I had of asking for time off. Best chance scenario is that I'll be given a few hours off on the Monday morning so I can get in the first match but I'm not going to get my hopes up

There are others after all...absolutely gutted I'll not be there. Coming on here everyday, hearing about mates putting together final plans for the trip - its killing me. This would have been my first finals trip and that fact that it is a relatively affordable one (in comparison to previous tournaments) makes it even worse. Reality bites...4000€ college fees plus another 3500€ in accomodation from next September (same as this year) and trying to do this on part time work is just about do-able. Savings all dried up with these b**llox fees aswell  .

Time to add my name to this list Me the woman and child moved in together there about two months ago and i lost my job the week before that aswell so funds have been low since then.Had flights there and hotel for 10 days booked and had hoped to do the rest as the summer drew closer. It's Killing me knowing i will have to stay at home and watch it in my living room but at the end of the day i'm only a young lad yet so i will have plenty of major tournaments to look foward to attending Gonna change my easyjet flights to one of our aways for the 2014 campaign, hopefully by then i will be in better shape financially and me and her can get on our first away trip.
