Slovakia Away (8th September 2007) - Match Thread

**boots** · 28/03/2007, 11:51 AM

anyone know what time slovakia play their home matches? thinking about flying in on saturday morning to Vienna

**Istabraq** · 29/03/2007, 11:06 AM

At this stage it is not cheap or easy to get to Bratislava, and back from Prague for that matter. You would think that Ryanair will put on More flights to Vienna on Friday, 7th. The flights are booked out on the Friday, but they have put on more flights to certain places in the past when demand was strong enough. Any thoughts? Shouyd we hold our powder or pay through the nose?

To get to Bratislava you could take a look at flying to Budapest as I think it's only 2 hours or so away on the train. I think Aer Lingus fly direct.

Look at

Skyeurope to Bratislava and Prague
Ryanair via UK to Bratislava

Look at other posts as to the arrangements others have made to get there

going from manchester on a package deal for 389 sterling all in even includes taxes and coach to the matches 6 nights good value i thought!

**Istabraq** · 29/03/2007, 12:47 PM

That does sound like a good deal. Who did ya book that through? Hotels included aswell?

I have been checking all the different ways of getting there and back. None are ideal, but thats what I expected. For example the direct flight to Brat with Sky Eurpoe doesnt arrive there til 11.40pm on the friday.

We only booked our flights and hotels/apartments a couple of weeks ago...........found it very difficult to get accommodation in Bratislava!

Was reading on the slovakia summary thread that the tickets can be purchased at ticketportal (their equivalent of ticketmaster). I take it they are not on sale yet. When they are on sale are people going to jump in and buy them as we did for the germany game or just hold out on the FAI. Do they fill out their stadium for the games? And even if so will there be more of us actually at the game to suggest the FAI will not be able to meet all requests?

**zenokelly** · 31/03/2007, 2:18 PM

Cheapest way as of now to fly dublin - bratislava, with what airline and what stopover? Presume train easiest way to get up to Prague from Bratislava any idea on the length and price?

Thinking of booking Dublin - east mid - Bratislava with Ryanair €135 7th Sept

and coming back Prague - Bristol - Dublin with Easyjet and Ryanair €75 13th Sept

yeah have seen that think they dont get great attendances for games . if i remember the czech game they had at home was not even sold out so hopefully we will be fine. the czechs only had 9000 at there game against cyprus on wed night as well.

We've booked for the Centre of Bratislava, although when we booked three weeks ago, we had great difficulty in finding accommodation!

We have also booked for Central Prague.

Roll on September!
