Hi Supa........any further news on the "Bologna Bus"??:confused: :confused:

I only got back from Cyprus yesterday, so havent been near my pc.

I dont think I'll be booking the bus for another 5-6 weeks.

Including your party we have 10 people on the bus with at least another 4 likelys' that I know of. So we only need another 10 passengers and we're in business!

I'll keep you up to date on the numbers, but you can be pretty sure that we will have something booked by the end of Nov.

[Saint Tom]

supa and casso. I can guarantee 6 on that bus from bologna to san marino. we are planning on staying in bologna, travelling to san marino for the whole day of the game and getting a very late coach on wednesday night/ early thursday morning

Saint Tom, the coach firm have told me we can only have the coach for 8 hours as thats a drivers full working day.
With us needing 3 hours to get there and back and 2 hours for the match, this only leaves us 3 hours to spend in San Marino.
I think the 3 hours are best spent before the game not after, ie. looking around, something to eat, few beverages. whatever you fancy really.
I'm assuming it will be a night game, in which case it will be after 9 when the game finishes and gone 11 by the time we get back to Bologna.
Let me know if this suits you and if you still want your name down.
Cheers, SS.

[Saint Tom]

will do, yeah think it is best to get there early, raging we never made it to the barbie thing near the stadium in Stutt. Having too much fun in the square! :D

[Collyontour]

I've been trawling through these pages and I'm getting more confused by the minute. Could anyone tell me the easiest way of getting to San Marino please? Not sure whether we fly to Bologna, Rimini or somewhere else. Cheers

I think there's a lot of different options. I'm flying into Milan, from what I hear there's a really good train service in Italy. Don't think you'll get flight into Rimini in February, seems to be a seasonal Airport

We're going Ryanair STN to Bologna Forli then staying in Rimini, don't think it will be a problem organising a bus from there to San Marino :D :ball:

[Collyontour]

Cheers for that. There aren't any flights left to Bologna, so I think we'll be going to Milan (although it seems very far away) and flying back from Bologna. ;)

[Green Tribe]

There are flights from STN to Bologna Forli left Mon 5th and 6th!

I'm flying in and out of Milan (Linate Airport) We'll stay Monday night in Bologna, 2 nights in San Marino, and the Thusrday night in Milan. Nice trip that.

[Green Tribe]

Here is some info I found on a Rimini - San Marino bus, we are also waiting on the winter timetable from the tourist office, don't know if this bus is the same one. I can't get the english version, when i click on the flag it doesn't work :rolleyes:

Click on the "Autolinee locali - Servizi nell'area del Riminese" at the bottom right hand side of the screen.
Then click on Rimini-San Marino, near the top of the page above the lovely colourful map :D
This should bring up a timetable.
Think it is about 3 euro single, fine for getting there, but the last bus coming back is about 1800! :eek:

Hasn't Samabu got details of a bus from Rimini to the match in an earlier post:confused:

[samabu92]

Ye, bus reserved to leave Rimini at around midday and leaving San Marino at 2230. Think it worked out 6-7 euro return...Still hoping some Irish bar might do a bus run instead of somebody here organising it.

Is there an Irish Bar :eek: in Rimini :rolleyes:

[samabu92]

The Goblin is a classic Irish pub, where you can enjoy a great draft pint of guinness. The Rimini pub has a lively and friendly atmosphere and serves snacks and typical pub food. Live music is also a popular draw on fridays.

Located on the sea-front, and popular and with live music, The Barge is no doubt Rimini's best Irish pub. Tourists and locals flock here and crowd both floors during the summer evenings. At this Rimini pub there is always Guiness on tap.

As long as they have jimmy and coke I will be happy:D

[supasparx]

I'm Sure if we crossed the drivers palm with gold/silver, he would wait a little bit longer??? :D :D

Yeah was thinking the same meself. The 8 hours was just what the coach company came back to me with.
I'd think with all the rest time between arriving in San Marino and going back to Bologna, we might get a couple of extra hours out of the driver.
Sure we can buy him a nice big dinner!;)

[Babysis]

sambu92 apologies for not getting a move on with helping you sort the bus. i have emailed our hotel which at last count had at least 20 fans looking to get to the game, and suggested they run a bus to the game - they seemed ok with it, and will come back to me so will keep you posted.

[samabu92]

After the last few results:( might only be the 20+ going from Rimini plus the Bologna crew:D . Our hotel is fully booked so there must be a few more Irish about(anybody else in hotel Ariosto?)

[Paulie]

The Goblin is a classic Irish....The Rimini pub.... The Barge is no doubt Rimini's best Irish pub. Tourists and locals flock here and crowd both floors during the summer evenings.

As far as I know Rimini is a Summer Holiday resort. Let's hope that the pubs there don't shut during the Winter months. 3 days on the dry?!.....Perish the thought.

Sorry :o forgot about that. I'd imagine the hotel will try and organise something too, although Antonella at the Accademia is a bit vague in her emails! :rolleyes: I'd say the Irish bar might be the best bet! Good meeting point and all that!

[Green Tribe]

I am surprised myself! :eek:

[SuperDave]

just booked flights with ryanair, car hire with arguscarhire.com and a hostel in rimini, total cost about €130. now, tickets are another matter. I'm on the fai waiting list but does anyone know if this will actually get me tickets? would it increase my chances if my friend also applied?

i'm only on the waiting list for block booking, so i need to know if this will hinder my chances. i don't exactly want to go without a ticket.

though my ryanair flight only lands in ancona at 13:10 on the day of the game, about 80kms away... maybe a big bit risky...

Aparantely theres a hill beside the ground where the view of the pitch is good. Sure if you dont get tickets you can get yourself a few cans and watch from there, or do what they did in the Brandywell last month and hire a double decker bus.

FAO: Anyone staying @ Grand Hotel in San Marino, just want to ask what price you're paying? I just got email from them looking for €185 per night for a room!!! No way Pedro :mad:

I can't remember the exact price we're paying but I think it's about €90 a night for a single room. We booked our rooms months ago though. A mate of mine booked a triple room there in the past few days and it's costing them about €50-€60 each per night so for a triple room that would be the guts of €185.

[pineapple stu]

The website said it was E55 per person, as I recall. It's the off season, so it's cheaper.

[Hibs4Ever]

Cheers lads, really wanted to stay in San Marino for the match, but now gonna stay in Rimini, got the President Hotel for €150 for TWO nights with breakfast, wont pay the price Grand Hotel asked for, and can't seem to find any other vacant hotels in San Marino

[pineapple stu]

The link to the Grand Hotel in San Marino contains three hotels, all in San Marino.

The link's on the away match summary thread (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=44563).

Saint T, thats sound. I'm just waiting on a second coach company to get back to me with a quote and then will post the final details and prices on here.
Would be looking to have something booked within the next 4 weeks for definite.
