I'm not sure if we'd need to charter it both ways (it might make sense to allow people make their own way up from Bratislavav - there are loads of local trains) but a Trnava - Bratislava charter at about half eleven or midnight would be perfect and would allow for extra time and penalties, if needs be. Obviously that depends on the game being in Trnava but if it is confirmed for Trnava, I might look into chartering a train. There'll be loads of takers, no doubt. The email address for Slovak railways was easily enough found: if they can put on a train that holds 500 people for less than €10 a head, I'd say we are golden. I know most of our lads would be all over that. Might be worth starting a list if Trnava is confirmed.

Honest question here SD: Have you asked Slovakian Railways can you have a go at driving the train also?

I won't ask to drive... much and all as I'd love it. And on the free beer point: there'll be no free beer, but I'll damn well expect that *I'll* drink for free for the whole trip for organising the train! Of course, we could all throw in an extra few euro to hire a throne. You could sit on it in first class and the rest of us can queue up to pay tributes (free beer).

I was checking Bratislava hotels on booking.com last night as a back up to Trnava. Some of the hotels were saying that the free cancellation policy only applies up to 93 days before the first day of your stay, so if you cancel within 93 days of your stay they take the full price. Pretty cheeky. That's only a few weeks from now. Anyway, check the small print on your reservations.
