I'm in Helsinki and it's not too bad, you can pay anywhere from 2.50 to 7 euros for a pint. No worse than Edinburgh, just a case of avoiding dreadful, trendy city centre pubs. IFK Mariehamn would be fantastic, it's a tiny wee town, perfect for an invasion! Edited May 20, 2013 by Mike MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AthensSaint Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 In local parlance, the booze cruise is called the "f*ck boat". ================================= Helsinki, I have been on the infamous Mariehamn to Stockholm cruise. Boarded in Mariehamn around 8 am and set sail. By 10 am there were topless women in the outside Jacuzzis - now it wasnt that warm. Funniest thing is that we were inside in one of the lounges having a "management meeting" at the time with all my peers and bosses from around the world. Arrived Stockholm around 4 pm where all the swedes poured onboard and that is when it started getting "hairy". As soon as we sailed from Stockholm, the duty free shops were open and every single cabin seemed to be full of people, partying like mad and necking from the spirit bottles. So by the time dinner had ended at about 10 pm, the whole ship was legless, I remember going in to the gents, and one of the toilet doors had been ripped off but there was still some swede with his trousers round his ankles having a tom-tit . After dinner and it was on to the "disco". Well I have never seen a grab a granny night as graphic as this one. Even slf would have pulled. I do have recollections of someone stumbling in to my cabin at around 5 am as he had obviously bounced all the way down the alley-way and till something gave way. On berthing around 8 a.m., there was a long line of very drunken swedes at customer service looking for shoes, cabin keys, friends etc. I even stepped across someone getting a blow job in the alleyway as I was departing with my luggage. Highly recommended but not for the faint hearted !!!!!! fazman1977, MySpazz and HelsinkiSaintee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySpazz Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 O yes, make a big wish for IFK Mariehamn or FC Stockholm AthensSaint - anyone who knows that boat, knows the score! When i done that trip, i punched my best mate in the ear over a Finnish lass, tried to breakdance mid dancefloor, got threatened with the cells (yep, they have CELLS) on the ship for being proper battered.....never succeeded wtih the lass til we arrived in Helsinki.... moved in for 3 days - oh to be 24 years old again! PRAY For Mariehamm - .i often refer to the boat trip as the "most premeditated drinking" i ever did. SAINTS IN EUROPE! ....mon that....

AthensSaint Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Gents, my post includes no exaggeration...the cruiseship is a blast. Though, MySpazz must have looked a baby at 25 as the average age must have been mid-fifties when i was onboard. Mariehamn is a great weel town (small but wonderful). If we get IFC Mariehamn, then expect a party to remember as they are wonderful people (Finnish but speak swedish - ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintDougie Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Out of the above I would be over the moon with Anorthosis Famagusta, Omonia or Aalborg. Not keen on travelling to Israel or Eastern Europe for football. There would be no friendly welcomes that we experienced last year in these places, quite the opposite in fact. As for Bursaspor I feel with our connections to EsEs and the amount of their fans that would travel to be in our end there is a potential for trouble there as well.

AthensSaint Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Famagusta would be okay I reckon. Plenty places for a beer before and after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
