Flights to Bratislava are 179 euros one way.

******. Alternative transport maybe.

go to expedia, fly into vienna on the friday and back from prague on the following thursday. only �150 (so �225) all in, taxes and all. vienna is only about 15 miles from bratislava.

Or you could try interrailing if you want to combine the whole thing into a holiday.

Agreed!!......Does anyone know whether Slovakia play a "regular" time ( i.e. afternoon/evening ) for Saturday International matches?

They kicked off against Slovakia at 8:15 local time on Saturday 2 September last. Same time against the Czechs the following Wednesday. 8:45 kick off against Germany on Wednesday 11 October. 8:15 means a bit of a rush for that last train, but should make it. 8:45 and you won't get there.

Thanks for the info Stu......assuming it's looking likely to be 8.15pm, can we nominate your goodself to leave the stadium five minutes before the end, in order that you can buy the beers and hold the train doors open for the rest of us?

Nuts to that - I'm renting a car.

Now to find a sober driver...

**citizenerased** · 15/05/2007, 3:36 PM

ahh foock that i know im goin to miss that,,,joe maxi!! Maybe, just maybe they have extra trains on match nights, it would make sense...or maybe Green Tribe, and babysis will organise a bus :-)

**Torn-Ado** · 15/05/2007, 3:40 PM

Ah feck it. Stay in Trnava on the lash until 5 or 6 in the morning. I'm sure theres a bar of some sort there and as long as there are numbers, we won't get hassled.

**citizenerased** · 15/05/2007, 6:08 PM

thats true, not a bad plan really ...

Trnava is only up the road from Bratislava, horrible town with a team that is followed by knackers! be warned these guys like to fight, and fight they will.

**Superhoops** · 16/05/2007, 8:55 PM

Talk is that this game will be played in the Teheln� Pole Stadium, Bratislava, home ground of Slovan Bratislava which has a capacity of 30000, where as the Malatinsky Stadium in Trnava only has a capacity of 18500.

I think Slovakia are playing France in a friendly in Bratislava on 22 August.

Where did you hear the game was being played in Bratislava? Good news if it is the case

This would indeed be "good news" on two fronts......firstly a significant increase in the number of tickets likely to be available

....and secondly, not having to worry about missing the last train from Trnva after the match!!

**zenokelly** · 17/05/2007, 4:23 PM

sent SLovakian FA an e-mail about getting tickets and they told me that tickets for internationals are dealt with through this website : so ill keep an eye on it anyway!!

Really hope this is the case
