Rossy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Absolutely fecking shite. They play in a town called Tetovo, which has a majority Albanian population and may, or may not be, at war with someone at this moment in time. One of the biggest hotels in town (and I'm not anticipating a plethora) is the 'Hotel Petrol Company'. Nae idea if you can get a bevvy there. Been to Macedonia once...the women were stunning, the guys were thieving f*ckers trying to scam you at every turn. And that was in Skopje, the Macedonian New York....feck knows what out in the sticks will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what mate is telling me from Macedonia, this team are forced to play all their European games in the national stadium in Skopje.
