    Aer lingus fly into dubrovnik from dublin the day of the game for 80 snots, arriving 11.45 dubrovnik..
    Is that cutting it fine?

    Also, is this not their 1st competitive home fixture? will the home seats not be totally sold out? 1200 isnt an awful lot..

    If staying in Dubrovnik just be wary of 2 things

    1) England are playing in Croatia that night - probably a long way away but potential for trouble.

    2) You have an International border crossing to negotiate between states that are not on the best of terms. Allow for delays.
    Yup, got stopped at the Kotor - > Dubrovnik crossing.. I thought I was going to be stuck in no-mans land as my passport had been in the wash. They eventually let me through...

    It's 12,000 and it's their 2nd home competitive game as they play Bulgaria the previous saturday.

    I've never been to Montenegro but I have been to nearby countries such as Macedonia and Albania and tickets normally are not a problem. Still hard to know though. We will bring more than 1200 so some travelling fans will have to rely on getting tickets in the home end.

    I think you are cutting it fine. You'll probably make it OK via a taxi or rental car. It will depend on kickoff time too and tv will help dictate that. If their lights are not up to scratch there could be a daytime kickoff too.

    Any info I can find on the stadium gives its capacity as 17,000. If the estimates of 2,000 Irish travelling are accurate, we might be okay. I know that if our allocation is strictly 10% of capacity we would be a few hundred short but depending on what way segregation etc. is worked out, we could well get 2 or 3 thousand tickets

    The demand would be much higher if the game was on a Saturday. But as its midweek it will put some people off even before thinking about the game coming after Georgia match.

    England are playing in nearby Croatia, but they'll all be based in Zagreb, well away from Dubrovnik, so wouldn't be that worried. Scotland are playing over the border that night in Macedonia, so we might run into each other again at some point.

    Most will go to Zagreb but some might fancy a few days in the sun. A few days in Dubrovnik, cheap beer etc and then pop up to Zagreb for the match.

    Dubrovnik to Pogrodica is about a 90 min drive. I emailed info@taxidubrovnik.com inquiring price of bue to Pogrodica and the reply:

    Thanks for your e-mail and interest in our service. The price of
    minibus hire (15 seater minibus) would be 250 euros one way.


    Reasonable enough i think.

    A few years ago I travelled Dubrovnik to Spilt. A great journey if you are not hungover. It a bus ride along the coast all the way, spectacular views but not good for the stomach. Croatia is a great country and Dubrovnik is spectacular and I would recommend it. I am going to try to get to Sarajevo when I am over there.
