Bus from Dubrovnik to Podgorica

[NeilMcD]

Put your name down here if you want your name to go on a list to be e mailed to the guy that GreenTribe made contact with and who is willing to organise a bus to and from the game for about €10 each. Green Trible told the company in Dubrovnik she would recommend him to other Ireland fans who would be looking for transport
He is very good, knows we are not like England fans

He was quoting 520 Euro for a 48 seater, works out about 10 euro per person. Excellent as this includes night driving, parking in Podgorica and ferry tickets across the Kotorska Bay. 4 hours each way, he is aware it is Ireland fans and is flexible with regards to picking up about noon or earlier and coming back at midnight if need be. You can tell him that I (Julie) had recommended his company.

Hi Neil,

Someone has already asked us about this before.

We can offer a full size airconditioned bus (48 seats) at the rate of 570 EUR per bus (this is a rate for the return transfer from Dubrovnik incuding the parking in Podgorica during the game).

OPTION to confirm is 5 days.

Best regards,
Maro

[Donegalcelt]

Might be best just to book it Neil? We have another few lads thinking about going to the game, and even if there's not many more, it doesn't work out too expensive. Cheers for going to this bother. We'll repay you in units of alcohol!

[zenokelly]

Works out at just less than 20 quid a person at this stage and I'd presume there should be a few more joining so it is great value.

I think it is probably better to confirm the booking with him now just to be safe.

Any mention of length of the journey each way or is it definitely the 4 hour slog?

Cheers for the work Neil btw!

Very expensive, compared to what we paid from Bologna to San Marino, and compared to prices here,

a 53 seater coach for a night will set you back €400 and eastern europe is meant to be cheap, I'd offer him half that,

[NeilMcD]

Yeah I have told him I want to book it but that was near close of business today. I am going to book it and I honestly think it is good value but there you go. I think if we get it down to 11 euro a head everybody well be happy.

It works out at about a 4 hour trip and about 5 hours at the game and 4 hours back.

fire away and book it neil!! great value!!

u will have no bother filling the bus!!

out there on sunday so will check the place out and what pubs and clubs to go to!!

1st on my list is a square and a tesco offy!! :D

[NeilMcD]

I have been in Dubrovnik before, Great town the Old town is fantastic really beautiful and restaurants are great and so is the sea too. At that time of year it will be amazing. The guy says the buss cannot go into the old town but that he can pick us up at the Pile Gate which is just outside of the Old town. About a 3 minute walk.

He is looking for credit card details in the next week or so. Any ideas on how we can sort out the payment with this. Its quite a bit of money to put on my credit card.

[aidz1]

Arrange payment at the serbia game??

[NeilMcD]

I just spoke to the guy. He is quite happy that I give my credit card details purely as a booking security like you would with a hotel and that he will take cash on the day.

[Green Tribe]

Hi all, Scientist I received your email last night, sorry I couldn't get access to internet when I was abroad. Just back last night. Unfortunately I won't be in Dubrovnik, otherwise I would be offering to help with this(Babysis also).
That's good Neil that they will only take your card as security. Believe me, you will get plenty of takers on the day, best thing is try and fill it from posters on foot.ie. Less skangers the better. If people are willing to meet in Dublin at the Serbia game or even some night in the next few months to sort the payment in advance and keep note of it.
After our carry-on with the bus the best way is to get the money in advance so you are not running around getting money at last minute, so it doesn't spoil your drinking nights :D
Any questions ask! :D
Have to say it was the highlight of the San Marino trip, the bus journey.
All I can say about Bradley in Katie O'Robbery's is "Get it up ya for being so greedy" :mad:

[NeilMcD]

Ok so I would be up for meeting before the Serbia game and getting the money and that way then I would have no problem paying it from my credit card once the money comes in. It would be great not have to take money on the day etc and yeah I would like it to be a foot.ie busy if possible.

[jaykay]

Neil

Can you put myself plus 3 down on the list for the bus please. Thanks for doing the research work. I'll give the cash to you on the day of the Serbia game.

Cheers,

John

Wonder did Scientist get meeting him?

[NeilMcD]

Well we do not have the first bus full yet so will take it one bus at a time.

[Fr. Joe]

So whats the story Neil are we meeting and paying for the bus before the Serbia game?
I'd just like to say thanks from me and the lads for getting the ball rolling on this and organising it and hoping everyone here will join us in our boycott of Katie O'Connors and the extorionate prices!!!! :D

I can meet at Kates Cottage directly across the road from Busarus and Connolly Station. Pm me if you want my phone number etc. Oh it works out at 11 Euro a head.

Right Lads we only have 4 places left on the bus which is looking good. I have heard from everyone and made arrangements with the exception of 2 people so would be great if those 2 people could get in contact with me either by private message or by text. Should be a bit of craic on the bus but sure we can talk about that more closer towards the trip.

[paul_oshea]

Neil is this bus going and coming back? If so put us down for 2 will ye?!

[Green Tribe]

Neil, I know it's early days but do you have an idea about what time yous will be leaving Dubrovnik?

[NeilMcD]

I think it depends on the time of the match but I would say the earlier the better. I have not discussed it with Mario yet. But I would be for an early departure.

[jaykay]

Yeah,

Our group would be on for leaving early in the day too. Want to see some of the city and get the pre match atmosphere.

I hope you wont have that hotel ruined by the time myself and Paul Q arrive.

[Green Tribe]

Neil, one of the lad's flight doesn't get in on that day to dubrovnik airport til 11:45am:eek: You have his number - Dave.

[NeilMcD]

I am sure the time of the match will be well announced well before the game so we will be making an early decision on this. I cant see us leaving after that so I cant really see him making the bus. If the bus takes from 3-4 hours I would like to be in Pod around 2 o clock but we will play it be ear.

[Green Tribe]

fair enough, i'll let him know
