Any opinion on whether the train crowd will put on more trains for the return journey from Bordeaux to La Rochelle?

Getting there would not appear to be a problem, plenty of choices. Getting back however.....Looks like last one (based on current timetables) would be before the game has ended, or if its even possible, would be indirect.

Appreciate, timetables will be published in a month or two was just wondering if UEFA or French Trains had said anything about extra services etc...?

Thanks in advance.



Never fear, myself and Steve Amsterdam are organising buses again Thumbs Up

La Rochelle will be the new Torun, that's a given at this stage.

We've already been talking to people over there and plan on going over early January to ensure there are enough buses for everyone who wants then on match day.

We may also have budget priced accommodation as well, once we are over the Xmas all will be sorted.






Will you be publishing the profits you make from these buses and budget accomodation?
And do you pay tax on the profits you make?

Why would they?? They're not a PLC hence no need to make any of this information public, if they do make a few quid from the services they provide well fair play to them, I know I wouldn't organise buses for a load of drunken football fans without taking a small fee from myself!!

So you see it as a deserved earner for doing a favour for the fans??

Hiring cheap acccommodation and renting it to fans at a marked-up price is not a favour for fans... in any language.
It's profiteering.
Is it legal to even do that if theyre not a PLC?? Can other tour operators advertise on this site??

I am interested in finding out more thanks

Please tell me no-one's planning on cashing in here...seemed there was a push going on alright...
"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."

Or it could be the case that they are renting out 50 rooms at a discounted price to individual bookings, and passing that saving on to fans.

Whether they are tax compliant or not is none of your business. If you like the price, book it up. If you don't, there are plenty of other places to stay and plenty of other ways of getting from La Rochelle to Bordeaux.

No you are not you are sh*t stiring , I sure as hell wouldn't go to all that effort and organisation without something to show for it and to think they are doing it for free is right up there in still believing in Santa

I wouldn't waste time on him

but the example would be the Bulwar in Torun was available on booking.com for €126 @ night and we negotiated a rate of €93

The Ibis in Gelsenkirschen was €59 and we negotiated €50 @ night

Bottom line no body has to use our services but those that do save money

only today a few lads came up to me and thanked me for Torun
