    Another thing regarding ticket sales why do all the different pointers get a day and half to order tickets.It should one day only.

    My guess would be a combination of maximum potential members in that banding vs maximum number of tickets available?

  2. Wondering if anyone had recommendations for family accommodation for next summer (6 nights) for Majorca?

    We (2 adults and our girls aged 18 and 14 at time of travel) fly in from Madrid and then depart for Barcelona, so am thinking within an hour of the airport but not as far round as Magaluf, plus we’re looking for a wee bit quieter than right in the mist of things?


    Anyone got any recommendations based on previous stays, doesn’t have to have a pool but would be a welcome addition!

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul
     

  3. Mr McDermott 

    Since I've no longer got access to ask you, what was the problem with my post and you deleting it, plus me being removed from the page immediately after this?

    My post said this was a good link, thanking Admin4 for sharing it - so what's offensive or the issue?

    Thanks in advance of your reply,

    Is the express the coach service sorry?

    Its the Gatwick Express (Train)

     

    As deecie says, don't waste your money on this option, as its not worth it in terms of time saved :ok:

  5. Seats Available - Trnava to Bratislava Airport (Dep 06.45 on Wednesday)

    There’s a few us of who’re staying in Trnava after the match but need to get to Bratislava for the Ryanair flight to Stansted, departing at 06.45.

    We’ve got transport booked and based on all seats being taken, its working out at £6.00 each – currently we’ve got 16 seats available.

    We're off the hook - all was ok

    She'd tweeted one of the guys:

    this is Marieana, sorry I got lost. I could not call. I am now back in my hotel.

    THANK YOU a million for yesterday and today.

     

    There was a mishap with the minibus, which i'm onto the hire company about and will contact those about the outcome.

    Thanks to everyone for making it as easy as it was but that's me for a wee while lol 

  8. Hi everyone

    Quick update to reconfirm a few things:

    • Sorry but all seats are 100% filled and no spares are likely to become available now
    • You’ll be handed a small token which will be used in the event of people getting on a bus they shouldn’t – please remember the coach you’re on and get on the right one!
    • Per the rules of the coach company, no alcohol is permitted whether opened or not (Just like here if you know what I mean)
    • Buses will depart the pickup point at 19.15 sharp, hence leaving the bar at 19.00 – it’s just 5 minute to get from the bar to the pickup point
    • Anyone who’s picking up at the stadium, as long as we leave remotely close to the scheduled departure time of 19.15, we’re expecting to be at the stadium for around 19.45/19.50
    • Buses will leave as quickly as they can at the end of the match, i.e. the sharper you’re on, the quicker they will leave and will return to the same place they leave from

     

    Surfside Bar have confirmed they’ll be stocked up and have more than enough staff on before and after the match, with them have a ‘few well-chosen tunes’ on from mid-afternoon onwards

     

    See you all on Sunday, 

    Paul :ok:

     

  9. Couple of key items for everyone

    As you might have read elsewhere, the coach company are applying a ban on the carrying of alcohol (including placing it in the hold) - this appears to be being applied right across the island, so no way round it - so its bit like here, with no cans or bottles B)

    For those booked and have been selected for ticket pick up, there's no reason we won't be there in time to allow you to do so - we will be departing at 19.15 and will take approximately 30 minutes to reach the stadium, meaning we should be there about an hour before kick off :ok:

  10. We were there last month (with our kids aged 17 and 13) and I slightly disagree with Kevin about Trastevere .

    We had an apartment next to the Vatican and they’d suggested this area as still being the old part of Rome and with a mix of street entertainers and street art at night, coupled with more authentic bars and cafes, we found we went there 3 of the 4 nights. Did go during the day and just wandered round the narrow lanes and stopped here and there – we also walked from the Trastevere all the way up to the main part, which has a cracking church (yes I know but its pretty impressive inside), so the area itself covers quite a distance, so I’m sure there will be a few things that’ll catch your eye.
    Also on that side of the river, they’ve got a set up (down at the river) where its like marque tents and they sell a range of food/drink, as well as hand craft stuff etc – worth a wee look when you’re there as well.

    If not already on your list, make time to go to the Castel Sant'Angelo, which is about a 10 minute walk from the Vatican and overlooking the Tiber – our digs suggested it as its got one of the best views to see Rome – its got a small restaurant up there but not many tables. Get up to the roof and you’ll have a very good vantage point – think we were about €20/€25 for the 4 of us but I think the kids were free.

    Not sure if you’ve thought about travelling around but we bought the travel ticket rather than the sightseeing pass (that includes entrance to a few places) – we felt it worked out better value.
