Villapark was the most beautiful football stadium in the world. The Trinity Road Stand was an absolutley amazing piece of architecture with its stained glass windows and marble motifs it had an air of grandness which sought to inspire you as you walked up the steps or intimidate opposition fans. Its like a old castle. I was so happy when the Holte end's rebuild in 1995 was styled to match the Trinity by incorporating the brick work and the fleets of stairs. I was absolutley gutted when the Trinity was ripped down. The stand was on the small side and wooden but the front was absolutley beautiful surley a larger stand could be built around the building for not much cash. Inside the atmosphere is lacking in recent times as there is a bit of a downer on the whole club at the moment. I'd love all the stands to be styled like the Trinity. It ...

Advantages: Free breakfast, Free wifi, Affordable Disadvantages: Fire alarm, No tea making fac. in rooms
This year my boyfriend and I decided to take a break in December to make a change. We decided that, rather than chase the winter sun, we'd instead embrace the cold and have a Christmassy holiday.

It was my boyfriend rather than myself who physically did the booking, but he noted that it was far cheaper to book through a website like last minute or Expedia than it was to book with Best Western direct - so take this into account if you're planning on visiting here. We stayed here for five nights and the weekend nights were given to us at a discounted rate, which was nice. Overall it worked out cheaper than staying in most hotels in other capital cities (for example London) which we were quite impressed with seeing as ...
Advantages: Beautiful, friendly and welcoming Disadvantages: Expensive and cold.
Upon deciding to visit Oslo due to the unbelievable flight deals and cheap accommodation that was on offer, my travel "companion" and I quickly realised upon arriving in the city that a bargain is not what it seems, especially since we discovered that Norway is one of Europe's most expensive countries to visit, however, never let it be said that a paralyzing fear of flying or a distinct lack of money has ever prevented me from travelling further afield to broaden the horizons. At this point I must confess that the trip was in part funded by MasterCard and almost entirely by the West Bromwich Building Society.
Torp airport is the place you will arrive if you have experienced the "cut price" bargain airline service and being approximately 120km from Oslo itself doesn't stop one from travelling there, Torp Ekspress ensures that every ...
