next week for work.SAP Training session for a day and half.
Day travel to get there then out in Linz Monday Night. Work on Tuesday then find a bar to catch Sky game.Wed morning work and travel home after lunch.
Costing firm a fortune, Trains and planes £320, hotel £75 a night then food/drink expenses and away from home allowance takes it to around the £600 mark, and theres 4 of us going. 2 Boro and 2 from Sheffield.
Would have been cheaper for someone to come over to UK for the week.
Downside there is no match on over there Monday or Tuesday, fancied a game at a different type of stadium.

I did 2 of these last year, one in Seville and one in Baden-Baden.........they cost a fortune. Pity they can't pay us that money instead!
Been told that each of our events had 10-12000 people being chartered flighted into each venue over 12 weeks each!!
These folk were flown in from as far as Russia, Greece etc.........

My firm opened a "wonderful" new European training centre in Budapest no more training in uk all of Europe to go to Bupapest, that was untill a dozen lads got mugged god knows how many more ripped off by taxi drivers etc even though the firm said which taxi firm to use cos they won't rip you off Shocked (they hadn't actually built it in the nicest of areas) and the "instructors" were just reading the manuals out to people in broken english
Guess what now training again in UK. nobody from UK going there although not sure about the rest of Europe but I don't care about them



I'm with you there.... Laughing

Cracking place Linz, people nice, food and drink excellent.
About 200 bars in a square mile.
Everywhere sells cakes, heaven.

Never seen so many clothes and shoe shops in a city centre.

got a shock when I passed it.
Good time though, bloke from rotherham on trip with us, tried to find an arse bleeder curry for 3 days. Locals were getting a bit worried listening to us on about it.
deffo reccomend it for a long weekend especially if there is a agame on.
Linz is on cheapo Ryan Air link. Only 11/2 flight. Easy train ride to Vienna, Salzburg or over the border to Czech Republic.

not Amstedam style. Big cream cakes and tortes.

Though some young lesi ladies in the Chelsea bar were deffo smoking something dodgy. Provided us 30 mins of entertainment. Openly kissing and fondling in the smoking room, one of the blokes with us reckoned they were just practicisng waiting for some lads to turn up. Smile
