LANZAROTE AWAY IN FUERTEVENTURA TOMORROW (Sat 19th)

Lanzarote will be travelling on the 35-minute ferry journey to Fuerteventura to meet league newcomers SD Villaverde tomorrow, Saturday 19th at 12 noon.

The players will be joined on the 9am ferry with a bus load of fans as well as others that have decided to make a weekend trip to Fuerteventura.

The home side is making this match, The “Dia del Club” day which means that they expect strong home support and have set the entrance price at 10 euros.

To all the supporters who are on the organized club excursion please remember that residents need to bring their DNI and you should have an up-to-date Certificado de Viajes. This is rarely asked for but it could be. Non-residents you must bring your passport.

The stadium at Villaverde offers little or no shade so please make sure everyone has plenty of sunscreen, definitely a hat and plenty of water.

Our first pick up Saturday morning is in Costa Teguise (Apartamentos Nazaret) at 7am followed by Ciudad Deportiva in Arrecife at 7.20am. We will then travel down to Puerto del Carmen and pick up from the Biosfera bus stop at 7.40am.

If all goes well, we should arrive at the ferry in Playa Blanca at 8.15am. We will have 6 people joining us from Playa Blanca so those people should keep an eye out for our bus as I (Ian) will need to give you the ferry tickets.

The bus will have a UD Lanzarote scarf on the front window and the company we are using is called Robayna.

Naturally we will be doing our traditional raffle on the ferry and we have absolutely heaps of prizes including Outdoor cinema tickets, meals for two people from several establishments as well as official shirts and other merchandise.

Raffle tickets will be available from Lorraine and Leigh and they will be hunting you down on the ferry so have your cash ready. The draw which is always a lot of fun will be on the 4pm return ferry.
