Montenegro Away - 10th September 2008

[Green Tribe]

Sligo H, are booked into hotel in Podg yep, but we are considering running a bus from Budva - Podg on the day, have about 12 takers so far, but wondering if there will be a big enough demand to fill a 48 seater for example.

You can count me in x3 if I'm staying in Budva (most likely location at the moment).

[Juanace]

I'd certainly be on for a bus. You could put us down for 7..would ya have the bus returning straight back to budva after the game? IF we won it would be good craic to hang around Pod with the rest of the fans? What u thinking?

[Babysis]

As GT said the bus is just something we are considering at the mo. We need numbers to get an idea of whether its possible and to see if the interest was there - Times etc havent been sorted at all yet. Will keep you posted on it all though.

[Mayo_Bhoy]

5/6 us more than likely would be interested. Wont be able to confirm for couple of weeks yet though.

[paul_oshea]

In fairness to babysis and GT, more than interested doesn't pay for a bus. Not havnig a go mayo_bhoy at you necessarily but there are a lot on here who sound like the kind of ones who would say ya, and then you go organise a bus and they dont show, leaving someone else to foot the bill.

BTW how far is dubrovnik from pod? I hear its about 60 yoyos in a taxi?!

[NeilMcD]

Paul you should look at the Bust from Dubrovnik to Pod as we have a bus organised and its 11 euro return and we have 4 places left on it.

Believe me i would not be in that category. I oranise all our away trips and know exactly what a hassle it is trying to collect money etc. I was just expressing an interest in case anyone else organises a bus later on when i have confirmed numbers.

Likewise ive done this before often, now I charge double the cost, so a half full bus still is ok and good value, if we fill everyone gets a price reduction and is happy

[kingdomkerry]

Without having to read through 13 pages with a hangover on a Sunday, can someone advise me if I wanted to book now whats the best way of getting there. I think ill take the week off work and take in both Montenegro and Georgia.

Would really appreciate good information.

[NeilMcD]

Fly ryanair to Riga, spend a night in Riga and then fly to Tiblisi with Baltic Air. You can then get the return from Tiblisi to Riga with Baltic Air again. Baltic Air also fly to Talinn from Riga. Getting to Talinn from Dubrovnik with Estonia Air is the key then and you will arrive in Dubrovnik on Tuesday. We have arranged a bus from Dubrovnik on the Wednesday and there are 4 places left.

Flying home is up to you but Aer Lingus fly from Dubrovnik to Dublin and Cork I think.

[kingdomkerry]

So
Thur 04/09/08 Dublin - Riga (Ryanair)
Fri 05/09/08 Riga - Tiblisi (Air Baltic)
Sun 07/09/08 Tiblisi - Riga (Air Baltic)

Sun 07/09/08 Riga -Talinn (Air Baltic)
Sun 07/09/08 Talinn - Dubrovnik (Estonia Air)
Wed 10/09/08 Bus Dubrovnik to Podgorica

Now,
Wheres the party after the game, Podgorica or Dubrovnik?
How do you get back to Dublin?

[NeilMcD]

Back to Dublin from Dubrovnik with Aer Lingus on the Monday and I am staying in Pod the night of the game but a good few are heading back to Dubrovnik.

[kingdomkerry]

Thanks for the info Neil

€800 for travel. Throw in hotels food and beer money and id say your talking €2,000 as well as 6 days off work. Will have to think about it.

[NeilMcD]

Yeah with these things you need to get in early. You are very late getting on board. I got all that for about €480

[kingdomkerry]

I know yeah, ive only just decided Id go with or without company. You snooze you loose I suppose.

Did you book as soon as the fixtures came out or when?

[NeilMcD]

Yeah I did, booked straight away. I always book as soon as I can.
