How much did Euro 2012 cost altogether?

Fair play to all the lads doing it on a budget, most of us started off doing something similar too, but no point about being naiive about it either, Redman's budget looks too tight to me, even doing it on the cheap.

Agree, by all means do a budget but then add 20% and you'll be ok.

I'm a student too and don't have the money to spending over 2k. Each to their own, I gurantee we'll have just as good as any of yous so get of those horses.

Good man

I wouldn't put a paint brush in a 1e bottle of wine. He must on the €1 wine judging by his maths  €1 gets you one decent bottle of wine and €15 would get you two bottles

I hate when that happens. Necking a 1e bottle of wine and it goes straight to the head ,and end up splashing out 14 on the second bottle. Has been an Irishmans downfall many a time in France.

High season is not June.   In fact last year my brother got 2 weeks half price and an extra week free on a camping site in June.   France holidays in August.   


Lived in France for nearly a year.   Dijon. Between Lyon and Paris.   

Have inter railed around France too and been there for two Ireland games in paris..

As a result love to see Bordeaux and Toulouse.

Oh never calculated how much the trip to Poland cost. ,

Reckon about 1000 /1200€, drove up from Austria,night in Berlin,based ourselves in Gdansk for most of the trip in a campsite but opted for the luxury of a Sopot hotel for the last few nights and spent a night in Gniezno.


France will obviously cost more, renting apartments, trains,buses, more expensive booze etc.
