Surely Germany would be a good start. Cheap tickets, good beer and night life. Dortmund at home would be canny for atmosphere.

Istanbul.

It's one of the favourites so far. I was hoping to get some tips on best way to travel and the chances of getting tickets. Some of those ticket websites are just legalised touts.
Going to Turkey in the summer, so want something different.

I'm thinking of a place with great beaches, fine local cuisine, bustling nightlife, but more importantly for this trip some good quality Football.
How about Shields?

Hertha Berlin was canny when I went, so was Dortmund. Also recommend Cracovia, Zenit, Fiorentina and Rayo Vallecano.

Berlin - big stadium, good standard of football, and one of my favourite cities anywhere.
Edit - if you're into the Belgian style of beer, Bruges might be a good bet. Not sure how easy it is to get tickets though

I fancy Poland. Cheap, easy to get to and should be canny lively.
What's it like for getting tickets?

Berlin, Lisbon, Milan, Rome, Budapest, Krakow, Prague will all be fine regardless of when you go as long as it's not intl week. Standard of football will vary wildly but if you're like me you probably won't be too arsed about that.

Are the dates out for Oct internationals?

We got them dead easily for Feyenoord, it was another lad that sorted them though sorry. He didn't complain though and he's a right moaning twat usually.
Poland is quality, Krakow a fantastic city and the stadium at Cracovia is great to visit.

I find Rotterdam a bit boring. But then again a lot of my in-laws come from Amsterdam and around, and I probably spend far too much time there. I remember the Amsterdam Arena being pretty smart when we were in the tournament there (mind you, we were with some of said in-laws with the Ajax fans rather than up in the top tier away section).

Weekend of the 6th I believe. England definitely have games then so I'd imagine it's then.
Hertha Berlin. Cheap flights from Ponteland with Easyjet. Immense.

Isn't Rotterdam an industrial city? Mind you we'll be on the piss so the sights probably won't be high up on the to do list.

Just went to Madrid last week. Loads of clubs in and around it. Real, Atletico, Rayo Vallecano, Leganes, Getafe and Alcoron.
Done Krakow and saw both Krakow teams. Done Wroclaw which was a great city but only had one team.
Dusseldorf was also very good, done Dortmund, Koln, BMG and Schalke. Also got Fortuna, RW Essen, Bochum, Leverkusen and Bochum on the doorstep.

Very much so. As you might expect, there's not a lot of love lost between there and Amsterdam. I remember taking a taxi into the centre from a hotel near the airport one weeknight a few years back. He warned us that it would be much quieter than we might expect if we'd been to Amsterdam because "we Rotterdammers arrive at work with our sleeves rolled up"
