According to the German FA website, Germany brought 4500 fans to the Stadio Olimpico in San Marino for their 13-0 win. Total attendence was 5019.

[pineapple stu]

And capacity is apparently 5115 (http://www.fussballtempel.net/uefa/RSM.html), so it was just short of, but not quite, a sell-out. Seems everyone who wanted tickets got them. Don't think we'll have 4500 there either.

Three of us have booked return flights from Dublin to Milan Bergamo with Ryanair for €42 each. We fly in the Saturday before the game and out Thursday night after game.

Hoping to catch Inter v Roma in Milan on the Sunday but other options that weekend include Parma v Fiorentina or in Serie B Juventus v Rimini or down to the Luigi Ferraris stadium to see Genoa v Vicenza

[Babysis]

You can blame sylvo for that one:D

Was talking to the FAI last night - it's in San Marino for definite. Serravelle (note - not San Marino, the capital village. It's actually even nearer Rimini). Same place as the Germany game.

Five of us Casso also staying in Bologna......could we look at combining all the "Bolognaites" together and organise our own bus to and from San Marino??:confused:

[dublinwanderer]

too lazy to organise trip... is there any tour operators doin a package

[casso36]

We could sligo!! Only 2 of us. But we'll try arrange something.

[casso36]

Hi Casso
According to AA routeplanner its 408 km up the road, taking roughly about 4hrs 32mins:( If you have no deposit paid on hotel, you would be as well going to Rimini

No way??? Thought it was only 60kiloms!! ffs

Wonder if can get cheap enuff flights from Bologna - Rimini.

[pineapple stu]

It's two hours by train.

Mods - would it be possible (time permitting!!) to make a summary of this thread containing the useful information? This would be links, distances, flights, things to do, etc, which are getting lost as people discuss the trip in general. Maybe make over the first post of each of the travel threads? It'll just save wading through people talking about the trip to find the important information.

(No offence meant to anyone posting about the trip!!!!)

[Bring Back Mick]

From: Bologna,

Nice one "Supa"....there are five in our party, and Casso has two...how many travelling to Bologna with you?....Would be great to get a coach there and back.....maybe one that allows "special mineral water " on board!:D

Lets know when and how much.

[supasparx]

Got an e-mail back today saying we could have a 24/25 man coach to travel from Bologna to Serravelle and back within an 8 hour period for 590 Euro.
This works out about 25 Euro ea. roughly. How does that seem?:confused:

They can do a 56 seater if we can get the numbers. May work out cheaper, I dont know.
There are 2, possibly 4 in my party. And I know Bring Back Mick has 3.
If we can get up to 24 I'll look into making the booking.

I'm also waiting on a reply from another coach company, so may have better deal!

The next day after a quick look around Pisa I will get the train to Bolgna via Florence and stay in Bologna Tuesday night. Is there going to be many staying in Bologna that night, Any recommendations on Hotels etc for Bologna Tuesday night.

Now the decision do I stay in Bologna Wednesday night or do I go for Rimini on the Wednesday night.

I am going to Stay in Florence on the Thursday and fly back to Dublin from Pisa on the Friday.
