When they finished, they introduced (in Serbian) the next song to the crowd of a few hundred and then broke into The Irish Rover. Wierd stuff.

    I think that band could be primordial or cruachan. both are quite big in the balkans but they are Irish.

    Would anyone have a website of train timetables from Budva to Podgorica, I was considering staying in or around Podgorica but as there is no accomodation I think I will stay in Budva for the 2 days. I really need to know if I can get a train home back to Budva after the game. I think it is a seven o clock kick off Montenegro time. Any help much appreciated.

    I think the only way is by bus as there is no train station and as far as I know the buses leave every 30 to 60 minutes. If you read the thread you will also see that there is a bus organised by one of the members on this site.

    No trains to Budva; only place there's a train to is Bar.

    Last bus leaves around 9:30 to Budva, so you should make it after the game if you hurry, but it'll probably be a race against everyone else. Best ebt is to hope on one of the charter buses.

    Stiofain, I am heading on holidays for a couple of days but if I am staying in Budva which is highly likely at this stage then I would be interested in using the bus. How many spaces are left on the bus as I would need two spots, me and a friend. What time does the bus leave Budva on the Wednesday? Apologies for all the questions. I won't have internet access for the next couple of days but have to telk to me friend as I have yet to book accomodation but will post another message early next week with confirmation

    No bother pal, we've a fair few places left on the bus so you and your friend will have a seat if you need it.
    We're looking at leaving Budva at about 11.30-ish, arriving in Podgorica at 1. Fairly early, but it gives everyone a bit of freetime to have a look around the city and soak up the atmosphere before the game. Coming back, we're hoping to leave about 11. Its working out at 15 Euro per person for the return.
    Once you get your accomodation sorted, give us a shout if you'd like a seat!

    Dubrovnik to Podgorica

    Looking for travel advice.
    3 of us will be travelling from Dubrovnik to Podgorica on the day of the game and travelling back to Dubrovnik the day after (i.e. going there Wed and coming back Thursday).
    Any suggestions? From what I can work out, the bus is full there and wouldn't suit us on the way back.

    Ask Neill for the contact details and you possibly can arange a smaller bus, 10- 14 pax and might get enough people here to fill it.

    Sounds like you should rent a car.

    We used Economy as they allow you take the car into Bosnia and Montenegro. Most rental companies don't. Probably best to buy some tricolour car flags too as Croatian cars may not go down well with the locals.

    The ko is 17:00 GMT, 19:00 local.

    One other option not mentioned yet, is the possibility of staying in Belgrade, and getting the train in and out of Podgorica on matchday. There is a morning train in Belgrade to Podgorica that leaves you there before ko, and an overnight train out. It takes 8 hours, but staying in Belgrade is a more attractive option, for those struggling to get accommodation elsewhere.

    suprisingly quiet on the forum about this game. Wonder what type of crowd will travel. I think it will be very small. booked a hotel about five km from podgorica city centre, taxis are apparently 40c per km!

    Maybe a taxi from Dubrovnik to Podgorica is an option. There should be 2 or 3 of us travelling on the morning of the Match and returning the following day.

    Don't think taxi fares are that cheap. And that's if you get a driver who uses the meter. If you ask for a taxi from Dubrovnik to Podgorica, you'll get quoted about E200, maybe down to E100 (I was quoted E120 from Podgorica to Kotor). I'd have a fall back plan if you're gonig to try that!

    they had booked out apparently SH when I contacted them or unwilling to confirm availability. The hotel we are in seems grand and close enough to the town. paid about €30 each per night.
