The Fans Embassy will take place from 7-9pm on Thursday and 1-3pm Friday in Miesto Sodas, on the main strip of Kaunas (where all the boozers and the row of trees are) on Laisves Aleja.
The Fans Embassy is run by fans, for fans and is an info exchange point. If the guys at the fans embassy dont have the answer to your question, they will certainly be able to get a hold of the person who does know the answer.
Just as important in passing out info is the Tartan Army passing along info so if you have anything that the rest of the troups should know about, pop along. Fans Embassy is a confidential service, we wont pass on any personal details unless you want us to on your behalf.
If you are kicking about, why not just pop in and say hi.
The restaurant has top food and its a nice open beer drinking venue as well.
The SFA will be popping along on the Thursday night as well.

The Scottish Football Association has confirmed the Lithuania V Scotland game will be played in Kaunas. The game will be played in the S. Dariaus ir S. Gireno Stadium on Friday 3rd September 2010. Kick off time has still to be confirmed, but will be in the evening.
Scotland have played twice in that ground. In 2003 they lost 1-0 and in 2007 won 2-1. the game in 2003 was recently voted the second coldest Scotland game - the coldest game was voted as the previous days Under 21 game in Vilnius.
The stadium is rather small, with a capacity of 9,180. Normally visiting fans would only be eligible for 918 seats but the SFA have managed to negotiate 2,800 tickets. It's likely that anybody on more than 1 point will be eligible for a ticket.
The SFA have also pointed out that unauthorised agencies have been offering tickets to the match as part of travel packages. The SFA and Lithuanian football federation cannot guarantee this allocation.
