I'm the same. On the waiting list a couple of years and applied for 6. I wouldn't be too worried about going without a ticket though. Should be easy enough to pick them up over there. Can't see it being sold out.

Sound Tom, would make it easier if there was just the one pick up, and would give us more time with the coach.

Just booked a cheap flight London-Pisa on the Sat3rd not bad at �17.47..
Haven't worked out the return journey yet...

Just checked the prices with them. 104 Euro for charges/taxes alone seem a bit of a rip off to me

Supasparx,

Just to ley you know that you can offer them seats on coach to someone else. My mate has got someone to go with but said they would arrange to get there some other way.

Thanks again!!!

Thats it booked. This is my proposed itinerary.

Pick up Hotel University Bologna- 2pm
Arrive San Marino- approx. 3.30-4pm
Depart San Marino-approx. 9.30-10pm
Arrive Hotel University Bologna- approx. 11pm

The pick up time cant change from 2pm as I know at least 6 of the lads dont land in Bologna untill 11am on the day, and will need time to get to the hotel and check in.
We may be able to spend longer in San Marino after the game provided there are places to go. But we might have to see once we're there.
It's a shame we wont have longer there, but from what I gather you could walk round it in a few hours, plus it's going to be freezing there that time of year, so would you want to?

I hope this meets with everyones approval.

**Saint Tom** · 20/11/2006, 6:44 PM

bravo sir!

sure the driver wont object to a few extra hours if we provide a few schillings for his trouble but it will be cold. lets just play it by ear

you know though, at �59 fot two people, you could easily rent a car...

though of course then you can't get ****faced, the sole purpose of going to an away game.

**Moscow Mule** · 21/11/2006, 8:56 PM

Nice idea SuperDave but you hit the nail on the head. Unless the car has serious 'auto pilot' it is a non-starter. We'll all be well and truely mangoed by early afternoon.

**pineapple stu** · 22/11/2006, 12:48 PM

Just booked the trip out for a total of E50 - fairly pleased with that! Less pleased with the fact that I get into Stansted (Ryanair) at 11:00pm on Tuesday and am flying to Bologna/Forli (Ryanair again) at 7:00am the next morning!

It's 50 euro for two people, but even for that car hire could be possible I suppose. But bare in mind there are restrictions on where vehicles can go within the principality.

**supasparx** · 22/11/2006, 6:08 PM

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your message.

I understand from you e-mail that you want to leave Bologna at 13.30 and at the end of the match, around 21.30/22.00, leave Serravalle which means arriving in Bologna for approx 23.00/23.30, this means having the bus at disposal for a total of 10 hours which exceed of 2 hrs the given rate of Euro 590 (pls see my first e-mail dated Sept, 26th).

In order to leave things like they are at the moment, we need to postpone the pick-up in Bologna (Hotel University) at 15.30, considering the driving distance from Bologna to Serravalle (San Marino) is approx 1,30/45 minutes.

Otherwise having the bus at disposal for 10 hours, from 13.30 to 23.30, from/to Bologna, cost Euro 720 (Euro 65 is the cost of each additional night hour).

Please advise how you want to deal with this, just consider that for the moment service is confirmed as follows:

Date Pick Up Meeting Place Passengers' Name Pax Service and/or price note Type of service Itinerary / Drop Off Place (if different from Meeting Place) Drop Off Vehicle Performance File Number Totale
7-Feb-07 15.30 BO Htl University - Via Mentana, 7 Liam Quirk 25 Full Day Disposal Serravalle (San Marino), near the Football Stadium 21.30 24/28 Bus �‚� 590,00
Total 10% VAT Included �‚� 590,00

In case you want to change the reservation (from 13.30 until 23.30) we need then to receive a new authorization form for the correct amount of Euro 720, please advise if you want me to send you a new authorization form.

Kindest regards
Michele

Recieved this e-mail today. By the looks of it we're not going to have much time in San Marino itself.

Although I have been looking on the net and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of bars/restaurnts there anyway. So it might work out for the best.
I'm not too keen on paying the extra 65 euro an hour, so I think we'll have to go with the 3.30pm departure from Bologna. Arrive Serravelle approx. 6pm.
