dezmondo Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Is anyone gambling and booking travel to one or both potential play off final opponents? If we get through and play Austria I can't imagine more than 1000 travelling. I'm very tempted to take the punt and book travel to both. It doesn't appear too expensive currently 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Certainly a lot cheaper to book up both options now than waiting til after the Ukraine game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiesdad Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Campervan will be stocked up and ready to leave on the Friday if we win 1300 miles to Vienna A lot fewer to Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 A World Cup playoff in Vienna is still very easy to get to, even at the last minute. Flights to Austria obviously, Southern Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary, even Southern Poland & Switzerland isn't far. If we do qualify for a potential game there, we will take far more than 1000 fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I’ve booked a hotel in cardiff with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the match. I suppose I should do the same in Vienna, but I’ve got mates there who would probably put me up. Can just drive to cardiff - as I’m not going to Hampden for the Ukraine game, I’ll probably have the laptop open during the game for flights to Vienna! If we do make it to the finals, I’m not sure what to do. I’d love to go, but if I’m being polite, it doesn’t seem like a particularly fun place to go.

Redz Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I booked Stansted Vienna rtn after the game for £15 Same flights are still only £50 rtn today Not too much to lose if we don't get through / or do, and it's Cardiff Hotels with free cancellation reserved in both Vienna and Cardiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlish Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Cardiff hotels already looking choc- ful or really expensive. any suggestions for nearby town's with good transport and a few pubs. I will be driving down and dumping car match day( if we get through!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a bit further, it's only around 45/50mins and £16 ish rtn on the train - Last train back is close to midnight from memory If there's a few of you a taxi won't break the bank either Plenty pubs/clubs/eateries to choose from too Just a thought....

thesaint Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 See the wonky sheep have put their prices out for either Wales or Austria.Direct flight .There and back on the same day.Like the idea of not having to face a mad scrabble to book either venue within a day or two,but thought the prices are a bit steep.Could get a trip to Wales or Austria and maybe three days in a hotel,for the same price as their one day trip.As i said,the only real reason to book with wonky sheep is not having to try and make last minute bookings for flights and hotels which will probably be hiked up in price because they know supporters will be desperate and pay over the odds.
