    Cork City FC - NEC Nijmegen

    Hello,

    After your good result against Malmö iīm confident that we will meet in the next round. Any of you planning to visit the match here in Nijmegen?? Some of us, including myself, are looking for an (not so expensive ) alternative to visit the match in Cork. So far we came up with ryanair. A flight from Brussels to Shannon. However, on our forum, http://213.239.177.224/last20.htm somebody told that public transfer from Shannon to Cork is not so good...My question is: does anyone have any suggestions for us. Flying on Dublin is one but i donīn know at what time the game starts and i understand that Dublin is quite a distance from Cork...

    Hoping to see good games in Cork and in our wunderfull Nijmegen

    They're usually quite expensive Brendan and the lad is looking for the least expensive option.
    JetMagic, R.I.P. used to fly from Brussels to Cork.
    The train from Dublin to Cork takes less than 3 hours.
    Only real problem is how long will it take for the 747 to get from Dublin airport to Heuston Station???
    40 minutes to an hour I'd say.

    Check out Opodo when searching for flights. It's quite extensive.

    Aer Lingus to Cork is fairly pricey.
    Why don't ye come over the day before? Stay in Dublin or Limerick and travel on to Cork next morning. Or something like that.
    I have some questions about Nijmegen too, but i'm being very cautious and i'm not going to say a thing till Sunday night.

    Thanks for your suggestions!! I think the best option is to fly from Brussels (150 km from here) to Dublin a day in advance, and to book a hotel or something. Itīs gonna cost me some days of from work (i donīt have many ) but ik donīt want to miss this.

    When you come over here to visit the match itīs very easy to do. Just fly on Schiphol airport. At the airport go with the train, you need only 1 or 2 transfers to come to our centre. And easy is that our ground is only a 10 minute walk from he centre.

    Do you know if the match is played on saturday or sunday?? Here itīs on July 3...

    Train costs €51 though so it might still be cheaper to fly to Cork?
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Didn't want to post on this in case I jinxed the game but now I can blame someone else

    There is a bus every hour from Shannon to Limerick Bus Station. The journey takes about 50 minutes. Theer is a bus every hour from Limerick to Cork that departs 20 minutes or so after the bus from Shannon arrives. Its not too bad a journey if you like buses. I've used this route to fly to Prestwick when I couldn't be bothered hanging about in Stanstead or going to Dublin.

    The easiest way to plan the public transport part of the journey is to use:

    Just checked the aer lingus web site and they have seats available both ways for 95 euro.

    So it might not be so expensive if you factor in a hotal and busses and the train fares. Not to mention the time wasted in travelling when you could be on the high stool in Cork drinking creamy pints

    Right down in the south east, across the German border from Dusseldorf.
    It's a university town, pretty nice (if quiet) and it's about an 1.5 to 2 hours from airports in Brussels, Amsterdam and Dusseldorf, although Neiderrhein (service from Stanstead with Ryanair for Ģ1 at the moment is very close).

    Not that I've looked it up or anything

    After some research we think itīs for the best if we fly on shannon and hire a car and book a hotel for the night. This way we can leave on saturday and fly home on sunday for a fare price (€ 85,-).

    Now itīs up to you to finish the job in Malmö!!

    Grow up with the whole 'jinxing' crap.
    Discussing stuff on the board will change nothing
    and it is not as if everyone has a lot of time to
    organise things if City go further.
