Further Ukraine visa info - If you are planning on travelling to Kiev you will need a Visa to gain entry to the Ukraine. You cannot travel to Kiev without one, they simply won't let you in. You must complete a visa application form which you can get by either sending a stamped self addressed envelope to :-

The Visa section,
The Embassy of the Ukraine,
78 Kensington Park Road
London W11 2PL.

or you can also ring a automated postal service number, which is 0906 526 6655 leaving your name and address.

or you can appear in person at the above address, nearest tube is Notting Hill.

Once you have your application form you will need the following to complete it: i) a full passport which is to be sent with your application (passport must have at least 6 months validity left from the date you leave the Ukraine) ii) 2 spare passport photos iii) a fee of £25 is charged. Cheque or postal orders accepted. iv) a separate cheque for £10 to cover the handling fee.

Both payable to "The Embassy of the Ukraine" n.b. the cheques must have your card guarantee number on the back.

Other documents needed are:
i) Confirmation of your hotel booking, (a faxed copy is acceptable).
ii) possibly a tourist voucher - this is confusing but there are a list of companies who supply them available from the visa section of the Embassy. Ask when requesting your application form.

It appears visas will either take 10 working days for the embassy to process or 3 working days - the info was a bit confusing so work on the 10 day deadline.

Important
When sending your passport etc to them make sure to do it via a recorded delivery service as the Ukrainian embassy hold no responsibility for loss of your application.

There is also an automatic fax number you can ring from a machine to access more information 0906 554 0818. All info above is available on the following automated number but it will cost you 60p a minute and may take you about half an hour to hear 0900 188 7749.

One more thing are the health risks that present themselves - Cholera, Diptheria, Tick-Borne Encephalitis, and Lime disease. Ask your GP for advice.

Many thanks to the creators of the famous Shankly banner, Alan who stayed on the phone for ages, and Nige who visited the embassy, for compiling this information.

Champions League away allocations - we were sent this information from fellow Eurofans members, the Schalke Fans Initiative who had a meeting with their club last night:

The following is taken from the Regulations of the Champions League 2001/2002:

Article 11
Principles of protocol and organisation - Match arrangements

11.01
f) All clubs in the UEFA club competitions must make at least 5% of the
total capacity of their stadium available exclusively to visiting supporters, in a segregated, safe area.

If this regulation was in force last season it would have meant Liverpool fans receiving 4800 tickets for Barcelona as opposed to the 3200 we did get. We will ask the club to ensure we receive our full allocation this season under these regulations.
