We'll probably only be in the room for 3 or 4 hours anyway if our usual trips are anything to go by.

stayed in hostels on many a football trip and generally most are cleaner and better equiped than a lot of 3 star hotels.
for anyone still looking try bbplanet.it for bed and breakfast accommodation
the Mercure are refusing to honour our bookings as well made on bookings.com They emailed me today with alternate accomodation which I have politely refused. As they say watch this space
Seperately I will probably have a triple room that we wont be using in Best western in Bari, anyone interested please pm me.

anyone flying via Brindisi?
Having a nightmare getting accomodation. 6 of us travelling. Anyone know of anywhere in Bari on the tuesday and wednesday?
Same a sthat Chris, absolute nightmare. I always source the flights and accom myself but i have never seen this before. Will probably leave it a while or just end up booking out of town some place. I can see a good crowd travelling but nothing like what the travel agents must be suspecting.
There is a lack of hotels in Bari. The scots found it hard to get rooms too. I was told by my Scottish mates to get in early with the hotels. Go on to ybig.ie and Tuff Paddy has a good link to a few BnB's

Going to email a friend living in Bari to see if she has any bright ideas re:accomodation
Try bed and breakfasts, there is no chance of hotels at this stage.
Has anyone flown through heathrow recently? Have a choice of flyin into Heathrow for half 9 or 11, my flight to Italy from Heathrow is at 12:20, so is just under an hour and a half enough time to catch the connecting flight or would i need more time??
Would be ok in most airports but ive heard heathrow is mental most of the time.
I was going to but dont think I can go at all now.
Lands at 21.00 and there are three trains to Bari between 22.00 and 23.00. Only takes an hour - 60 miles.

All Irish flights arrive in Terminal 1 Domestic, from here to Terminal 1 is 15 minutes, Terminals 2 and 3 are another 10 minutes and Terminals 4 and 5 are probably 20 mins further away.
You will need at least an hour just to go back thru the search areas and down to boarding gates.
Definitely recommend the earlier flight, and sure if you have time to kill you can have a few beers

Try this website, got a nice B&B in the city centre for 80 per night for a double room. Looks decent anyways.

I booked this B&B and there is more rooms available but seems to be plenty more B&Bs available.
Finding somewhere to stay is a nightmare, def left it too late, any1 thinking of camping or know what the scots did, i reckon they brought similar numbers
not the Mercure however we booked 3 twin rooms, I confirmed by e-mail and by phone. hotel tried to up the price, then hotel moved us to 2 triple rooms and upped the price a bit more. The original price was their max on thwe website.
Seperately I will probably have a triple room that we wont be using in Best western in Bari, anyone interested please pm me.
I threatened to write to the Italian tourist board.
Suddenly it is all a big misunderstanding and my emails were confused with another.Our original booking of 3 twin rooms at the original price is confirmed again.

i received the same email from the hotel today. They put out some sh1te about the sysytem being down over the new year. complete bull. i had booked on booking.com

they are offering me a room in the Ronḍ Residence Hotel, which is a bit out i expect. the hotel are wanting me to cancel my booking on the booking.com website. F4ck that, what happens if i ignore their emails and turn up with my reservation??

Don't cancel.
Start complaining. Complain to booking.com - not good for them that the Hotel is trying to renege. Try the Italian tourist board.
This is rubbish. They just see an opportunity here to cash in on the game.
It is not good for the reputation of a major hotel chain such as the Mercure that customers would be treated so shabbily. they were happy to sell their rooms at that price and should honour those sold before they realsied there was a match on.
We booked the Meridien in Stuttgart at a cheap rate for our game in Sept 06. The hotel still honoured all the bookings and it turned out to be the German team hotel.
