GaryWood34 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 7 hours ago, Rich NATA said: So, back to the 2nd round (starting 6 days after Stuttgart/Hungary). How are you's gonna play it? Flying home and then back out? Already committing to staying over there? I’m flying home then back out as it’s maybe 6 days. IF we make the last 16 I’ll stay for the quarters and fly home again. And if we make the semi then… I’m fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should just skip the preliminary 3 warm up games and just have booked for the business end of the tournament! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I’ve applied for 2 final tickets. Fully expect to get them and us to be in attendance. V England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
million1977 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Registered for the TAMB specifically to post this message. I'm about to cancel an AirBnB booking for a place in Bonn (so not too far from Cologne), which I currently have booked from 15th to 26th June. It sleeps up to 6 people, has excellent reviews, and is reasonably priced (assuming the host doesn't reprice it following my cancellation). The listing is here: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/840967360443540997 My plans have changed, hence the cancellation. Just thought I would give fellow tartan army members an opportunity to book this before anyone else, once I've cancelled. I'm going to cancel tomorrow lunchtime, probably around noon or shortly thereafter. Cheers, Brian PS disclaimer: I have no connection with the apartment or its host. Hope it's as good as it looks for anyone choosing to book it. PPS: definitely not up for somebody I don't know taking on my booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I'm based in Dusseldorf. Booked up 8 rooms at the holiday inn express near dusseldorf Hbf quite a long time ago last year, managed to get rooms super cheap before the hotel realised the euros were on, came to about £340 per person for 7 nights. You cant go wrong with Dusseldorf, smack bang in the middle of the rhine ruhr area and you'll no feel like you're missing out as they'll be a massive contingent of Scotland fans there or worrying about having to get travel back to whichever town you're staying in. Our group also managed to get to four different group games, one in cologne, Dusseldorf, dortmund and Gelsenkirchen. The cologne game being the Scotland Switzerland match, buzzing!

adamntg Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Finally got it all booked up. Couple of nights in Berlin, match night in Munich, over to Salzburg for a few days then to Bonn for five nights around the second game. Match night in Stuttgart and then Eurostar back to London. Just got to get home from there at a reasonable price. Booked Stuttgart and Munich on the day the draw was made, some insane prices for single nights there now. Money and holidays probably mean I won’t be at the last 16 game, but I suppose I’ll head out when we get to the semis and final.

EddieJ Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 First tournament. In Ismaning for the Germany game. Leverkusen for the Swiss game and Stuttgart for Hungary. Flying in to Munich via Amsterdam, trains inbetween, and out of Stuttgart through Ibiza. Liver and bank account going to take a tanking. Can't wait.

Bristolhibby Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 On 12/14/2023 at 5:32 PM, Bristolhibby said: Flying out for the opener. EasyJet from Gatwick. Two nights in Munich. Back home Saturday, work Monday. Fly to Düsseldorf on Tuesday. Eurowings from Heathrow, two nights in Cologne. Depending on if I get tickets for other games in the Rhur we’re going to stay in Bochum and Düsseldorf before heading to Stuttgart for two nights. If I don’t get tickets, we are going to head to Nuremberg for a couple of nights before heading to Stuttgart. Fly back to Heathrow on the Monday. Hopefully having booked our flights for the last 16. Cannot wait! J Update. I did get tickets for the Slovakia v Playoff B game in Düsseldorf. So it’s as above but got one night in Aachen after the Cologne game and before the Düsseldorf game. Then First class fast train from Düsseldorf to Stuttgart on the Saturday. Fly back on the Monday from Stuttgart. Hopefully back out for the last 16 game.

I would recommend to leave early though for the Cologne game. You have hourly direct trains and I would also recommend to stay in town after the Cologne game and take an early morning train back.

Tried to get somewhere in Cologne a few weeks ago but hotels were extortionate by then so on the 3.49 am train back to Koblenz 🙄 All our games being evening kick off make it hard to get back regardless of the decent German transport system.

Yeah that is why I recommend to party all night long and take first train back to where you are based. Hotel prices in Cologne are out of control.

It might scheduled but whether it runs or not is another matter entirely. Having spent quite a bit of time in Germany, particularly the Dusseldorf and general NRW area after lockdown I can tell you that German train are hopeless. Even more unreliable than ours German efficiency is a thing of the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more unreliable than ours German efficiency is a thing of the past It got worse since COVID, that’s right. Getting to Siegburg should be ok with first and last trains. Not sure if the S Bahn runs whole night. Are you okay with last or first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
