Travellers from the north?

**Curtains** · 16/08/2007, 9:21 PM

Just a quick post to see if there are anymore people on the european doubleheader who are travelling from belfast or any of the other northern counties. Just doesnt seem to be much of a representation apart from my poor self and friends??????

29 travelling from QUB. 5 (or possibly 4) of us are flying from belfast to Prague on the Friday before the Slovakia match and flying back to Belfast the Saturday after the Czech game. Still wish we'd hired the banger of a bus we take to matches though - Belfast to Dublin, belfast to Bratislava - how much of difference can it be?!

Really looking forward to the trip though.

I frikin know what you mean, weve had some bus clangers getting to dublin ourselves. I didnt know queens had a supporters club and i bloody went to it!!! Have all 29 of you got tickets to the slovak match? Theyr on sale from the slovakian website if not. Hopefully well meet in the old square and get a few pints going.

6 of us flying Belfast to Prague, out on the 6th back on the 14th.

Train up and down to Bratislava from Prague.

Derry v Pats live on TG4 on the Friday night so we'll be finding a base to watch that on.

Keep me posted on that one Kev, should be a bit of craic anyway - game wont be till 9 45 or so Slovakian time? Should give us plenty of time to get the train from Prague, check into our hostel, get suitably scared and head into town for the match!

Its a fairly new intiative but there's been a decent start made. Fair play to the lads who've put the effort in. All sorted for Slovakia, but like a lot of people, most of us are still stuck for the Prague match.

Aye,

Me da, wee Jackie, mini Jackie, Chalkie and Boylo are on the trip.
I reckon we have to have a few "wee Jackie" integration sessions before you meet the legend. I'd advise bringing in Matt Doherty as a consultant to oversee the lamb shanks and bacardi.

The house in Belfast will be empty that week.......

Dublin airport is now just as handy as Belfast City or Aldergrove at about 1 hour.

**HolylandsMan** · 18/08/2007, 8:16 PM

Aye but I suppose Belfast flights for Ireland matches are less likely to shoot straight up. Actually from home in South Armagh, Dublin airport would be closer in miles and much more accesible - wouldn't pass through a town from Crossmaglen to the Airport!

There is obviously a better choice out of Dublin but as you say, prices less likely to shoot up, and Belfast is always an alternative if the away trip is some where more accessible.

I was actually planning on going from Belfast as we got cheap flights (taxes only to Bratislava now Vienna from Amsterdamm and to Stansted but Easyjet changed the flight time on the route so we couldnt make the connection. So we had to go out of Dublin with Aer Lingus and obviously return to Dublin from Stansted.
