If you're intending on getting the bus from the party and then back into Bari after the game, do you need to organise that in advance or can it be done on the day?

We don't need to worry about a thing - Totti or no Totti, this is down as a great victory and a great party

my advice would be not to panic book. there'll be some hotels re-offering availability when the package deals for this trip aren't all sold out.

i got a B&B from a website, not sure of the link but it was sent to me somewhere on this thread, probably still has availability.

worth emailing the hotels on this list, they may still have availability

I have had a good look- appears to be no vacancies within a 15k radius of Bari- Anyone any idea how many Irish are expected? I heard 5k- would have thought it would be closer to ten- Anyone any idea on what Bari is like? Pubs clubs etc.....
