Take-off for England football fans 

A Leamington travel firm has linked up with the FA to help hundreds of England football fans jet off to Portugal this summer when the Euro 2004 Championship kicks off.  Travel Management Group, in Dormer Place, will take care of the travel arrangements of official England supporters heading off to the soccer showpiece that gets underway on June 12 in Porto.

The firm, which has specialist divisions including sports and business travel, will be organising several packages for the event for England's group matches and the knockout stages of the tournament.

Jon Reeves, director of operations, TMG Sport, said: "We will be acting on behalf of the FA to look after its official sponsors and official England fans.  We would certainly advise people to purchase tickets from official sources and travel on organised tours to the championship to avoid facing any problems when they get to Portugal.
