We could literally charter a train from Trnava to Bratislava. 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.

The match isn’t fixed yet so it could still be in Bratislava.I’d be thinking 95% of supporters will be based in Bratislava regardless. I stayed in Bratislava for the Austria game, I found it to be a nice little city. The Dubliner was decent where they made a guy clean up his own puke (he was Irish ) ,it got a great reaction at the time and he was mortified.
Hopefully buses will be laid on after the game, although thinking back to Gelsenkirchen we were just left to make our own way back.

Great idea but I think SD just wants to drive a train 🚂

I see Ryanair are putting on a flight on the 25th and an extra one the morning of the match to Bratislava.
They're still charging the guts of nearly €300 return, alot of cheaper routes still available.

Out on the 24th easyJet Belfast-Luton, Wizz Luton-Bratislava, 3-hour layover in Luton, arrive Bratislava 4pm. Coming back on the Friday but no Wizz flight to Luton that day, so will worry about booking the return later. £80 altogether, not bad and sensible times.

Took that Ryanair direct over at 16:30 the day before the match, 130 quid but definitely saves a lot of hassle. Not booking anything else until after the draw tomorrow.

Guesstimate - 5% allocation no 1800 allocation maybe

You might be pretty sure, but you're wrong.


"The semi-finals will be played on Thursday 26 March, with the finals five days later on Tuesday 31 March. Kick-offs are generally 20:45 CET but exceptions may apply, in particular related to time zones."

This is SD's Cup Final, right here.

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