Now looking at doing the overnight on Saturday and going back on Sunday
For anyone getting the boat from Dub to Holyhead, is there a decent train service to Cardiff or how are people intending to travel down? I can't find any info on trains...
What time do you get into Holyhead Chippy?Quote:

PM me a list of times you are travelling and I'll send you back a timetable
Thx Reiteoir - I haven't actually booked anything yet. I was just wondering would I be better off making my way to Rosslare to get the ferry to Fishguard which has a decent enough train service to Cardiff
Even though the game will now mean absolutely nothing I am looking forward to the weekend away.I have never been to Cardiff so it is a good excuse for a visit.
Some good tips from Reiteoir there so you will have to give a few more in advance of the game.
I know we are driving as there is 4 of us and it seems just as handy to split the cost that way.Quote:

The train from Holyhead to Cardiff would take about 5 hours - services there are linked to the ferry timetablesQuote:

I'll be able to give you a better assessment in about an hour when I get home.
Just to put you all in the picture - I do the rail/bus/ferry route when I come over for Bohs games - so know the Holyhead - Birmingham - Cardiff route inside out
FAI didn't know when I rang them a few weeks ago. Apparently Wales don't have to set it until a month before the game.Quote:

It'll be dependent on what Sky want as well - as they hold the UK rights to both nation's qualifiers.Quote:

Your best bet is to fly with www.flybmi.ie to Heathrow and hire a car. Flights are €72 today and car hire works out at €20 each if you have four in the car. You wont get the boat much cheaper than that and the drive from Heathrow to Cardiff is about two and a half hours,which is shorter than both Fishgard and Holyhead.Quote:

Few of us thinking of making this trip. Thread to long to look into it[and I'm lazy:D] so to the people who've researched it already, what seems cheapest/handiest option? Also, I drive if ferry is easiest.
Cheers in advance!

Thanks for the advice GT - I'd assumed that all flights would be too expensive and was just about to book the ferry when I saw your post. Tried Ryanair.com & we're now flying to Bristol for about €120 pp return.Quote:

I'd hurry if i was you.
We have ours booked some time ago (4)
Return is dearer but you can try alternative ways of getting home.
typical fai yhey sent me a letter today to see how many tickets i want for wales didnt send me anything for slovakia or prague
will everyone who's applied for tickets get them?
I would say so.We are entitled to 7,500 tickets and if more than that apply i would say the FAI would be able to go back to the Welsh FA to increase our allocation. Cant see there being any more than 30/40,000 at game.Quote:

due to some so called friends pulling out(and me with deposit paid on rooms:mad:) I have 2 rooms available(twin and double) in http://www.nosda.co.uk/
PM if interested
If anyone is in need of a hotel for this game (i booked my room a year ago) PM me as i no longer need the reservation.
Its the Travelodge in the City Centre and its just a 5 min walk to the ground and right in amoungst the pubs and bars!
Its a double room and £100 Stg, paid on departure. If interested i'll get the booking changed into your name.
Cheers
