Hello,
After your good result against Malmö i´m confident that we will meet in the next round. Any of you planning to visit the match here in Nijmegen?? Some of us, including myself, are looking for an (not so expensive :p) alternative to visit the match in Cork. So far we came up with ryanair. A flight from Brussels to Shannon. However, on our forum, http://213.239.177.224/last20.htm somebody told that public transfer from Shannon to Cork is not so good...My question is: does anyone have any suggestions for us. Flying on Dublin is one but i don´n know at what time the game starts and i understand that Dublin is quite a distance from Cork...
Hoping to see good games in Cork and in our wunderfull Nijmegen :D

They're usually quite expensive Brendan and the lad is looking for the least expensive option.
JetMagic, R.I.P. used to fly from Brussels to Cork.
The train from Dublin to Cork takes less than 3 hours.
Only real problem is how long will it take for the 747 to get from Dublin airport to Heuston Station???
40 minutes to an hour I'd say.
Check out Opodo (http://www.opodo.co.uk/) when searching for flights. It's quite extensive.

Aer Lingus to Cork is fairly pricey. :mad:
Why don't ye come over the day before? Stay in Dublin or Limerick and travel on to Cork next morning. Or something like that.
I have some questions about Nijmegen too, but i'm being very cautious and i'm not going to say a thing till Sunday night. :)
Basiqair (http://www.basiqair.com/) fly Rotterdam to Dublin.
Virgin Express & Ryanair Brussels to Shannon.
Besides i thought not allowed mention 2nd round cos of jinxing ;)

Thanks for your suggestions!! I think the best option is to fly from Brussels (150 km from here) to Dublin a day in advance, and to book a hotel or something. It´s gonna cost me some days of from work (i don´t have many :( ) but ik don´t want to miss this.
When you come over here to visit the match it´s very easy to do. Just fly on Schiphol airport. At the airport go with the train, you need only 1 or 2 transfers to come to our centre. And easy is that our ground is only a 10 minute walk from he centre.
Do you know if the match is played on saturday or sunday?? Here it´s on July 3...

The train from Dublin to Cork takes less than 3 hours.
Train costs €51 though so it might still be cheaper to fly to Cork?

Didn't want to post on this in case I jinxed the game but now I can blame someone else :eek:
There is a bus every hour from Shannon to Limerick Bus Station. The journey takes about 50 minutes. Theer is a bus every hour from Limerick to Cork that departs 20 minutes or so after the bus from Shannon arrives. Its not too bad a journey if you like buses. I've used this route to fly to Prestwick when I couldn't be bothered hanging about in Stanstead or going to Dublin.
The easiest way to plan the public transport part of the journey is to use:

Lads, stop this thread please. We still have to play the second leg against Malmo. :(

[snip]
Just checked the aer lingus web site and they have seats available both ways for 95 euro.
So it might not be so expensive if you factor in a hotal and busses and the train fares. Not to mention the time wasted in travelling when you could be on the high stool in Cork drinking creamy pints
:p

Right down in the south east, across the German border from Dusseldorf.
It's a university town, pretty nice (if quiet) and it's about an 1.5 to 2 hours from airports in Brussels, Amsterdam and Dusseldorf, although Neiderrhein (service from Stanstead with Ryanair for £1 at the moment is very close).
Not that I've looked it up or anything :eek:
i didnt
someone else did

After some research we think it´s for the best if we fly on shannon and hire a car and book a hotel for the night. This way we can leave on saturday and fly home on sunday for a fare price (€ 85,-). :)
Now it´s up to you to finish the job in Malmö!! :D
its only halftime in the tie like
All that is going on is answering some questions.
Grow up with the whole 'jinxing' crap.
Discussing stuff on the board will change nothing
and it is not as if everyone has a lot of time to
organise things if City go further.
Well, this is now a reality. Anyone actually know are these crowd any good?

NEC is a big club in holland, normally around 14,000 people I think in the stadium. They have a very fanatic supporters crowd.
It should be a nice game to watch - and a pleasent stay in the stadium....... De Goffert
For intertoto I think maybe a crowd of 8,000

Hey NEC,
Can you confirm that Youssouf Hersi was sold to Herenveen? Can you also confirm that Polish International Striker Andrzej Niedzielan will be out injured and probably won't be fit for the City games?
Who are your best players and what positions do they play in?
Details of Bus Eireann bus to Amsterdam here (http://www.eurolines.ie/ttinfo/eurolines3.html)

Those buses go everyday.

Yes, ik can confirm both. But for Hersi we got a simular player, said Boutahar. Our problem is with te strikers (we've got only one at the moment) but we can trust our solid goalkeeper which in my eyes is the best in Holland at the moment.

Can you tell me where you got this player ( Said Boutahar ) from? Was it another Dutch club?

It's OK, I just looked him up. He spent last season on loan from Feyenoord to RKC Waalwijk. He is a left sided midfielder and scored 6 goals last season. He was supposedly a transfer target for Glasgow Rangers.

Your best bet is to hire a car at the airport for however long you are going..it will save you when you drive back there too..

In that case the only way you'll make it to Turners Cross in time for kick off is if you hire a car.

Busses and Trains cannot be relied on when it's Sunday.
To make sure you'll see the game, you'll have to rent a car

When you get to the airport, take the 747 (http://www.dublinbus.ie/your_journey/viewer.asp?route=747) bus to the central bus station for 5Euro.
From there you can get the Dublin to Cork (http://www.buseireann.ie/site/your_journey/printed_timetable_pdfs/expressway/8.pdf) bus.
It takes about 4.5 hours.
See you tomorrow.
