hmmm, is this thier first home match?! For some reason i thought there stadium held 18000, lets say we bring 4 or 5,000, id say there could be quite a few stranded out there without any tickets given this is a new footballing nation....

No they play bulgaria when we play georgia on the Saturday
Midweek in september.
Their 2nd home game.
Not a glamour tie.
Will not be a massive crowd travelling as its too "awkward".
No problem getting tickets
Cannot see us taking 4 or 5,000...more like 2,000 It's a midweek game and not the cheapest trip to make ( even if you haven't done the Georgia one earlier )Quote:

hornet, its early september, new era, new country, no one has been to montenegro before, still warm. I can see a lot of people going to this, probably not 5k though. But few are going to go to georgia, this would be the first bigish trip of the campaign.
Erimusered, do ye want to give me your ticket so :D

Our gang are looking at staying in Budva. There's a distinct lack of info on any (public or private) transport so we are going to hire a car on arrival to get there. We'll keep the car to get to match with a designated driver (wonder who :rolleyes:) and also to travel to Dubrovnik for flight home.
Yeah, im hoping to do something similar and stay in Kotor. I'm assuming they drive on the right in Montenegro? Might look into hiring a car myself, thought i havent driven since the day i passed my test over two years ago!Quote:

Dunno. i can forsee about 3k irish heading to this one. So away tickets will be a scramble. Home end will deppend on the local interest.
I doubt it will be much more than 1.5K. It's hard to get to; it's expensive (the Dubrovnik route has been closed due to the Tans visiting Croatia, and the Bari option is more aggro than it's worth) with plane tickets now nearly €400; it's midweek; it's the start of the campaign rather than a make or break game or a playoff; and as far as I know there isn't anyone on the Montenegro side who plays for either Liverpool or Manchester (correct me iof I'm wrong on the last one). Judging this with our midweek visits to Romania in 1997, or to Belgrade in 1998, this is not a game I would have thought many fans fancy.
Yeah I think you are right there Lopez. I can't wait though.
with the appointment of trappa i can see alot more interest in this fixture.
It is a hard one to call, i'd say you get a few arseholes, but not as many as ITaly, Cyprus and Bulgaria (much easier to get to)
I'd say Majik's mates will find it hard to find a tacky red light zone so they may as well stay at home or go to Prague for the few days.
Anyway, for those interested in the football and to find their way about the city etc....this map is great thanks to the kind help of 2 Montenegro posters on virtual tourist. Hvala lepo! :D

Clearly many of you have blind optimism, as to how hard this place is to get to!
i think now the direct-ish route from aer lingus is booked out to dubrovnik, that will put a lot off.
It's not booked out yet but it is gone up to €427. It pays to book early!Quote:

i know mypost, imagine having to travel to new places we don't know much about, awful scary aspect. Think i'll cancel my flights...:eek:
For those going by train - looks a scenic route

Easy with the Dubs comments, like everywhere we have our scumbags. And I thought we all only went for the drink cos the football is usually garbage. Why would anyone want to video their train journey??
It's looking bleak if you want to go to Montenegro. All hotel rooms in Podgorica that can be booked online are gone. The other hotels require that you email a reservation request, but I'm getting no reply from them. Presumably because they are all booked up too?
Does anybody reckon they will be flying straight into Podgorica or is the flight to Dubrovnik forst generally considered the better option? its not going to be cheap getting to podgorica from dubrovnik. €200 for a taxi anyway.
cheers
