I went for covered on the basis that I'm as blind as a bat so with the covered section being along the side of the pitch I'll actually get to see the game.

For anyone heading over a bit early, 5th Febraury (Monday before match) is the national holiday - St Agatha's Day. Celebrates their freedom from the last person who tried to conquer them nearly 300 years ago.
Found an interesting book on amazon about the place - has a small travel section on the country basically, together with a look at the seven countries featured and what makes them what they are. Came in the post today; looks a helpful read. Also covers the Vatican, for anyone thinking of heading to Rome for the weekend.
on an unrelated note, this should be made compulsory reading for all international fans prior to watching any game involving liechtenstein:Quote:

Anybody thinking of travelling this way..............see Venice for a couple of days before and after the game.
Anyone know whether it's difficult to get into Venice from the airport.
Reckon it would be an interesting train journey along the coast to Rimini!
A couple of us are staying the Ambienthotels Villa Adriatica Hotel (http://www.villaadriatica.it/) in Rimini. €80 for a twin room with breakfast. Near the station.
Any more info. on buses from Rimini to Serraville?
I notice travel agents are beginning to advertise their trips. Seems they are staying in Rimini (2 night trip circa e500). Kick off 1800 according to their flyer but I don't see the kick off time confirmed on the FAI or San Marino site yet.
Supasparx can you send me a pm if you get the chance about the bus?
Have sent you e-mail!
Supasparx.....did my cheque for the Bologna Bus arrive safely?:confused:
Sorry, have been away. Yes you're paid up!:)Quote:

Apparently you should be able to ring the FAI and get tickets direct - the full allocation's not going to be taken. That's what I heard off UCD when I tried too late to book tickets.
Lads,
you'll have to let me know where you are all meeting before match so i can get mate to meet you with flag, please leave details and contact numbers so i can arrange for him to meet up with you all for the game.
For anyone doing a bit of a tour like meself, we're flying into Venice on
the 5th and out of Bolonga on the 9th.
3 of us travelling together so we just booked fairly cheapo accomodation.
(could be total shyteholes but probably wont see much of it anyways)
Venice (1 night)
http://www.hostelworld.com/availabil...on-Venice-3825
Rimini (2 nights)
http://www.hostelworld.com/availabil...l-Rimini-18466
as they advertise ... YOU WOULD BE MAD TO STAY ANYWHERE ELSE :)
Bolonga (1 night)
http://www.hostelworld.com/availabil...a-Bologna-4797
Cost about €70 each in total
I just got off the phone with the FAI ticket office. People will know if they got their full allocation in the next few days. He said that there shouldn't be a problem though. There mustn't be that many going. Hardly surprising I suppose, a midweek fixture to the group minnows in the cold of February is going to put a lot of people off. Personally, I reckon it'll be great craic!
Can't wait myself, in the space of 5 days I'll have visited Milan, Bologna, Rimini and San Marino. Match tickets paid for, just awaiting delivery. Really looking forward to it
Nice one. I'm going via Cardiff as I'll be at the Ireland V Wales rugby match the previous Sunday. Not quite as cosmopolitan as Milan I know but it'll be a lot of fun!Quote:

As most people seem to be in Bologna we're going straight there on the 5th for the night, then 2 nights in Rimini, then Back to Milan on the Thursday to stay overnight
Its looking like I have at least 2, possibly 4, spare seats on the bus. Anyone interested PM me as soon as!
Hi Supasparsx
Can you hold me 2 seats til I talk to the wife tonight? Will let you know for DEFINITE by 7 o'clock ?
Cheers for that post Ash, have booked myself into the hostel in Venice for the 5th. Now trying to convince the lads I'm meeting in Rimini to give up there hotel beds and do the hostel instead.
They ain't telling lies, seems to be great value indeed!
Staying here: Hotel Silvana, Via del Serrone Murata ,San Marino 47890. Cheap as chips as well
The Barge Guiness Pub
Rimini's best Irish pub
Opening Hours 9p-4a M-Su
Right on the sea-front, popular and with live music, The Barge is unquestionably Rimini's best Irish pub. Bikers, tourists and locals crowd the two floors nearly every evening, especially in summer. Excellent rock music is played nearly every evening and darts boards are available too. To visit not just because Guinness is good for you, but because the entertainment is assured
Have they got you on their PR team?:rolleyes: :DQuote:

Hello
Below is an email I received from the very nice staff at the Hotel Accademia regarding the bus they are running to and from San marino. I gave them a rough figure of 20 people for the bus from the hotel.
Ive asked them to confim it's E39 for the return journey, and will try and get an idea of times etc.Quote:
I send you information about the transfer for 20 persons of 07th February by bus from/to San Marino, the price will be € 39,00 per person.
We are waiting for your choice as soon as possible, and remaining at your disposition for any doubt.
We’ll see you at 6th February.
Kind regards
Ada Foscarini
Booking - Hotel Accademia
Happy days:)
