Does anyone know when they will announce the kick off time for the match against Montenegro. Generally I thought they had to announce it 2 or 3 months in advance of the match. I presume as it is a Wednesday match it will kick off at 7 or 7.30.

I reckon it'll be an evening kick off alrite, they might KO around 8 or 9 to allow for the time difference and accomodate the TV companiesQuote:

I wonder if anyone here might be able to help. I would like to get the ferry from Split to Ancona at 21.00 the day after matchday (11th Sept). I need to know if there is an early bus from Podgorica, how long it would take, is it even possible or can someone suggest somewhere I could look. Cheers
www.visit-montenegro.com (or .yu.cg; can't remember) has phone numbers for all the bus stations. I e-mailed them about a timetable from Podgorica to Kotor and they replied back saying I had to ring the station.
Alternatively, try a travel forum like the Lonely Planet one.
Its an hour and a half to Dubrovnik and 4 and half hours to Split so I should make the 21.00 ferry if I can get out early and buses go accordingly.Quote:

I thought that the drive from Podgorica to Dubrovnik was about 3 hours. I don't think they are that far apart as the crow flies but apparently the roads turn and wind a lot which results in the long driving time. As far as I remember it also involves a ferry ride.Quote:

Got my ticket application form today from the FAI. Some ticket price at €7 including the €2 handling charge. Now there is value for money.

Remember it's there first tournament, they'll learn quickly so enjoy the €7 tickets:DQuote:

Good news.........and possibly bad news for those not able to obtain a ticket in the Irish end.At those prices the locals will surely be there in force.Quote:

I thought that the €7 was the handling charge, and the price of the ticket wasn't announced yet, until I took a closer look!!
A fiver a ticket really but I doubt there'll be too many Montenegrans in Dublin when tickets will cost them 1000% more than what they're paying at home:D
Fair play Montenegran FA.
By the way should the ticket exchange threads be up by now?
Tickets for Iraq v Australia in the World Cup qualifiers recently were $3 (Australian I think) for Arabic speakers and $100 for English speakers!Quote:

2. Is anyone staying in Budva that needs transportation to Podgorica and back to Budva on the day of the game? We are running a bus.
Many thanks
GT :D
Just been on to the UEFA website and apparantly it is a 7 o clock kick off montenegro time. Think they are 1 hour ahead of us.
Its on the FAI website too.
