Hi there
I am from Belfast and live in Perugia with my 14 year-old son, Patrick (of course). I have been in Italy 30 nearly 30 years now, including 3 years in the Rimini area where I still have friends.
My first experience in helping football fans travelling independently to Italy was with Dundee in 2003 http://www.italywithus.biz/ezine/12oc/page3.htm#title. Then some of the Dundee people asked me to help them when Scotland played in Milan last Easter and that lead to me bringing about 500 Scots to Ljubljana from the various airports they flew into in Italy.
Basically I help organise the easiest and cheapest way of travel from any airport to your accommodation (this means you can take advantage of more cheap flight options), get group deals with hotels, transportation to and from the match (if needed), answer questions about various aspects of visiting Italy and bits and pieces like bargaining down the prices of drink, organising parties etc. In Milan I was also able to get extra tickets for hundreds of the Scots.
I earn my keep by offering a good service with low price x large numbers. I also contribute without any payment by helping with train tickets, giving information etc. I have asked permission to help on this forum because I know some people hate to think of others using a board for their own benefit. If I am not welcome there is no problem, if anyone want to contact me directly I will help them via my own site/message board. I take the view that answering questions and giving details of services available etc. on an open forum guarantees (as much as is possible) the best and most honest help possible. Every thing is more transparent
I am a "regular" on a few forums so it won't be difficult to find people who know me - I hope we can become friends too
Great to have a contact in the area. If the game is in San Marino will you be able to organise transport to and from the game as we will be staying in Bologna? Is there a minimum number of us you need?:

Saw on the BBC that the Germany game had over 5000 at the game.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
It was held in San Marino - any idea or indication of how many home/away fans were there?

Right all!
Can anyone tell me the best way to get from Forli airport Bologna to the city centre. Not arriving until 22.00 on the 6th/feb/07.
I hope there is a train i can get? let me know please as i want to try organise it as soon as possible.
Obviously flying cheap with Ryanair as myself but arriving in on the early morning flight! On the Ryanair website it gives info on destinations. For "Bologna" I think it says that it's 74Km
Did a bit of a "Google" last night on Italian trains but was difficult to get a site I could get details of times routes etc. (unlike Germany
It's early days yet and plenty of time to get more detailed info

Casso this if posted above and there are a few comments about it. There aren't too many posts on the thread yet so reading them shouldn't take too long

Their website
http://www.fsgc.sm/
sells tickets online but no sign of any on it yet.
According to this site
http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium...olimpico.shtml
the capacity is 2,200. However there were 4,000 at the Scotland game a few years ago. They may install temporary seating.
Thankfully the local demand should be low however there will be a ticket shortage.
Thanks Aido!!!
There is a bus leaving the airport at 22.35 that night but takes 1 1/2 hours to bologna, our flight arrives at 22.05 so i hope we have time to catch it!! You know flucking Ryanair!!!!
I'll also have look at that thread thanks again!!
