Interesting National Geographic piece about Transinistria for anyone who went there! |

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Hey all,
Thanks for the reply regarding Moldova to Odessa. From what I can gather there are regular buses that do the journey and in doing so by-pass Transnistria? Not sure if anyone on the forum saw or travelled on them? I wasn't aware of the trains, as I was planning to go to Odessa after the game, that might be an option. Cheers. |

Yeah, the Odessa train only runs Saturday and Sunday. Obviously you are home to Austria on Saturday so it won't work. There are plenty of buses all the same.
That said, I'd recommend Tiraspol and Transnistria, as would many on here. The buses are frequent enough and relatively quick. |

Know that one of the London Irish lads went from Chisinau to Odessa (Tashkent & Newrycouk would know the chap well) , don't think he had any great issue, well, at least I saw him in Vienna last week, so at the very least, they let him out of the gulag before that, so you fire away chief, nothing can possibly go wrong. |

Was going to do it but then they reduced the service to 2 (?) days a week plus it's 5 hours each way which also wasn't appealing.
Transnistria well worth a day trip. One weird spot |

Didn't myself but be careful if you end up going into Moldova from Odessa. I think the train goes via Transnistria. Entering Transnistria from Ukraine will not get you a Moldovan entry stamp, neither will you get one entering Moldova from Transnistria. You then might have problems with the Moldovan immigration authorities when leaving, who may try to claim that you entered Moldova illegally and fine you. I read somewhere that if you go in that way, you'd have to go to a government office in Chisinau to register when you arrive. |

"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."

Hi all, Welsh fan here planning our trip to Moldova. I was wondering whether any you guys went from Moldova to Odessa (or vice versa) during your recent trip and whether it presented any problems? Thanks in advance for any replies.

For these games, you must keep a cold heart no, a warm heart and a cold mind no, head! So you must have a warm heart and (pause)a cold head.

Sorry about the bad link, here's a new one: http://www.denisvahey.com/single-post/2016/10/14/Green-Army---Moldova
Thanks for the feedback gents. As you say - Sportsfile have to cater for the press/media. As my project is is personal/non-commercial I'm free to give it a more 'cinematic' look. They wouldn't be accepted by press, but that's not the point of the project. In terms of making the subject 'stand out' - that's all down to the flash I bring with me, it's a balls travelling with it but well worth it to get that look I'm after. I've 7+ people already lined up for Vienna - they got in touch here or via Facebook or email. It's a big big help if you get in touch beforehand. I've also been asked about groups and groups with flags - bring it on! Cheers lads.
