I've only been to Russia once and that was to see Ipswich play Moscow Torpedo in the UEFA Cup in September 2001.

What a revelation!

Not the grim city you'd expect from a John Le Carre novel but a clean, bustling, modern one with large amount of green space, glass and an amazingly busy underground railway!

In one word! Go!

But not on a Thursday as the Kremlim is shut!

Still we did and Ipswich won in the Olympic Stadium! What a great night!
