j b lyons Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 'As it says on the tin'. It would appear most TA are basing themselves in Tel Aviv but the most likely venue for the game will be Haifa which is 100 kilometres away and with it being an evening kick off I would assume little or no public transport available back to Tel Aviv post match. I am hoping some brave soul will put their heads 'over the parapet' and organise the usual convoy of supporters coaches - if and when can you please keep me in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McTeeko Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Facebook post on the TA page and there’s someone arranging a convoy from Mike’s Place (sports bar) just off the beach in Tel Aviv 👍🏼 Edited to add - he’s apparently very trustworthy and has run buses before for the TA with great success so if you end up on Bus 8, dinnae worry 👍🏼 Edited January 29, 2018 by McTeeko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy I know spends a fair bit of time there with work and doesnt have anything good too say about them really. Quite the opposite. Would normally take that with a pinch of salt but the guy is the really laid back sort that gets on with anyone so I was quite surprised he was so down on them ( he is not a Palestinian by the way ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out to bars and restaurants you could be anywhere in the med, apart from the number of automatic weapons on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's hourly trains through the night. Think they don't run on the Sabbath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4Footsoldier Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 From my vague amount of research so far the Israeli national team will play in either Jerusalem of Tel Aviv with the most direct flight options from the UK coming into Haifa. Both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem appear to be roughly equidistant from Haifa albeit in opposite directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
