Look at this! Thats ridiculous....I don't know whether to laugh or cry....

Unbelievable :eek: :eek:
You'd be mad to buy a ticket from a tout for this game. The locals don't have much interest in their team so you should be able to get one at face value.Quote:

For those still trying to secure accommodation in Cyprus, Ive found
cyprus-appartment-rentals.com a good place to start. Cyprusair for travel from Heathrow :cool:

nd has even been tipped to host a future UEFA Cup final match.
Anyone know where the U-21 match is on?
Probably Larnaca, like the last time with a Friday afternoon kick-off.Quote:

Some of the bars might even arrange a bus if they get the numbers and you promise to drink in their bar on return.
There's about 15/20 of us going from Waterford we booked it last Oct for €475 a skull, for a week, and staying in Paphos, Was in Cyprus years ago, stayed in Limassol, and it was a nightmare with all the British Soldiers mooching around, so looking forward to Paphos, well outta the way
Accommodation now sorted. 3 of us booked into the Napa Plaza Hotel for 3 nights. It's about €225 each but it's single rooms so I'm happy enough with the price.
just booked minibus on day of game to go from ayia napa to nicosia and back straight after the game as our flight is well early home on the sunday ... works out about 20euro a head for 15 of us and picks us up at our accom happy days ..
...just for reasons of security, can you let us know where we should avoid so as not to get involved in any ****e with the British soldiers in Cyprus....For those of you who went with FUNTREK to Italy in 1990 and remember the scenes at the railway station in Palermo after the match, I really dont want to have to run another 200 metres in 20 sec flat... Im now 15 years older and dont think the legs will do it for me anymore

I stayed in Limassol for the last trip to Cyprus when Ireland played and had absolutely no hassle with the squadies. Friday night was their night out and certain journalists from the Star were trying desperately to get a 'story'. In the end the squadies just kept to themselves and there was no hassle whatsoever. Their superiors (the red caps?) are always knocking around to keep an eye on them, and particularly so when there's a lot of Irish football fans around, so they'd have to be stone mad to try anything. It may be different when Irish people are over there just on holiday but when there's the guts of 2,000 Irish in Limassol I think you'll find they'll be very reserved.Quote:

From what I remember from the last time we played out there, there isn't much craic in Nicosia. You'd be better off going back to the area where you're staying.Quote:

Somewhere in the region of an hour as far as I remember.
Think you've made my mind up for me there Peadar! Anyone from foot.ie doing a vengabus for foot.iers, now that would be great!!Quote:

Just expecting it to be a bit different, plus might squeeze in the cultural aspect of the trip by seeing the green line. After 3 nights in touristy Limassol I reckon it might be good to see a bit of the real Cyprus in Nicosia for a night.Quote:

wouldn't mind visiting the Troodos mountains myself, bit of a hike, lovely.Quote:

got something similar from dublin though, ccfc girl. 3-12 ( back for swiss game) for €450. I know the guy who own the bhoys bar in Ayia napa through work and he says peak season this year is the first week in october! they are running buses too and apparently will arrange tickets.
Unusual trip, combines a sun holiday with a football trip. personally i prefer city trips, but, the craic will be ninety anyway!
I cant wait for this trip i know where Bhoys bar is .There is going to be thousands of Irish over there .Busiest October in Aiya Napa by far.
And no PUB!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH. shocking. How can we survive!! :eek:Quote:

I doubt there's any left & they are all weekend to weekend from what I've seen anyway so you'd miss the Swiss game. :eek:Quote:

flights still available from cyprusair.com to Larnace for match. Cost €400 Flight only Just for those who are disappointed by not being able to travel to Faroes!!
A gang of 14 of us booked in Feb. There's a few of us going from Dublin via Frankfurt to Larnaca. www.lufthansa.ie might be helpful but the prices could be nuts by now. But i reckon if you use your imagination you'll find a route there. There's a 2nd airport in Paphos on the East side of the island. www.helios-airways.com, for 2nd to 9th Oct is about 250 STG from London. My brother is going on that one.
Hows everyone making it over to this. Packages look to be about €800. Anyone getting it for a lot cheaper doing it themselves?
see above.
dont waste your money on any package, fly indirect and book an apartment.
Hi,
Anyone know of anywhere I can get a flight only to Cyprus for the game in Oct?
I've searched the net and can't seem to find anywhere?
Thanks
