BoxRec

Anyone on here going? After a bit of messing about, I am actually going to this now!

Looking forward to it, but the weather forecast is for ice cold weather all weekend in Helsinki (-10!!!). Would have liked better weather to explore a new place, but anyone else venturing out there, wonder how many english fans will make this trip?

Don't get throwing yaself of any buildings over there

Not planning on it. haha. Think they have like 3 hours of daylight, wish this fight had stayed in Monaco but Helsinki, bit different at least.

I will be going out on Friday morn and get back Monday night, so got a good few days out there. Probably be mostly indoors.

Yep 7 of us flying out from heathrow Friday morning back Sunday.......can't wait.

Is there going to be a boxrec meet up?

I am going. Leaving tomorrow morning via London - land in Helsinki at 4.30pm
Going home on Sunday. I have been to Helsinki a few times and was in Turku this summer. The Finns
Are cool and they enjoy a good booze up.

Me and a mate going, got a pretty nice apartment thing too for cheap. Would be good to meet anyone off here for a few beers.

Cobra you still got tickets to get rid of? I'm tempted to go now

Do you know where the Froch fans are going to be boozing in Helsinki? I read on another site that some are planning to go to The Sports Bar which is in the main square - on the right hand side as you exit Central Station. I suppose it isnt a bad choice. There is a good place just off the square - it has a good bar upstairs on top floor, overlooking the city - forget the name - must check with a friend.

I will send you a PM.

Helsinki is a top night out, but expensive.

The fanny is quality and game. It will be brass monkeys over there at this time though.

It`s true boys, believe me. Try to stay half sobre at least until midnight and you should be in with a cracking chance of the birds. The average Finnish male is a sobre beast, who only appears to talk after dowing litres of vodka. Therefore a bit of British charm and wit, will soon see you ball deep in Finnish guts. Trust me.

Isn't it only 3 hours when it's closer to the artic circle and 5 in somewhere like Helsinki? Still a lack of daylight with 5 hours though! I'd only go up that far north for the Northern lights can get back to England fast!
