LAST FEW SEATS!!! Send an email to euro2016buses@gmail.com Ok all. As promised we have the buses now in place for matchday returns on Saturday the 18th of June from La Rochelle to Bordeaux  The details are as follows: Departure from La Rochelle: 08.30 Departure from Bordeaux: 20.30 Return price € 40 per person.
The return time is to allow some time in Bordeaux after the match, so we can of course celebrate and have a few before setting off back to La Rochelle. If enough demand, 1 of the buses can depart earlier for those wishing to go straight back. To book your seats, please send your email to: euro2016buses@gmail.com Payment can be made via bank transfer or Paypal. More buses to follow, including Paris to La Rochelle on the 14th, and Amsterdam to Paris on the 12th. __________________________________________________ INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO Good morning all, Finally the long anticipated details for the matchday transfers from La Rochelle to Bordeaux on June 18th. Our buses will depart at 08.30 in the morning. The pickup point was to be 1 central location in town. Due to the large size of our convoy of buses the originally allocated area was no longer adequately able to fit us all. Therefore a new area in the centre of La Rochelle will be allotted to us, however, we will not have confirmation of the exact location till most likely this coming Monday. Hence we have added all the necessary info regarding the buses in the attachment you will find with this email. When picking up the wristbands for the buses in McNulty's Irish pub in La Rochelle we will have the details and a map for you on where the buses will be parked for our departure. - The collection times for the wristbands is between 12.00-15.00 on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.Should you arrive into La Rochelle later than this (Friday night for example) please let us know. We can of course arrange to meet then. - For our return the buses are booked to depart at 20.30 from the Matmut stadium in Bordeaux. Pickup will be at the same location as where we will be dropped off. - If there is a bus full beforehand for any of you wishing to travel back to La Rochelle earlier, we will send a full bus on it's way. But keep in mind we can ONLY do this once a bus is FULLl! - For the return the colour/wristband does not have to correspond with the bus colour. This as different fans from different buses might have travelled back on an earlier bus. - For the return a wristband is of course still NEEDED If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by email or phone. See you in La Rochelle!!! (this was emailed to all too, this is just an extra notice for those not checking their emails etc) ------------- Molly Malone's pub- The home of YBIG in Amsterdam! |

Seats were very scarce, but we've been able to source a new bus to add to the others. However, this new bus is coming in from Nantes, so this had added to the price unfortunately due to hours etc for the driver. 30 euro per person return, but enough room to join lads :-) Just send an email to euro2016buses@gmail.com ------------- Molly Malone's pub- The home of YBIG in Amsterdam! |

Strange one about the banks not allowing PAYE for abroad. As many have thankfully not had this problem.

Alright all, Just a quick note that we are now into the last few seats on these buses. With over 500 fans already booked, seats are getting scarce and if you do wish to join us on this great convoy of buses from La Rochelle to Bordeaux on the 18th of June then send an email to: euro2016buses@gmail.com 30 euro pp for the return, and we depart from La Rochelle centre at 08.30 in the morning. Return at 20.30 that evening, though we will have buses leaving earlier if enough people want to depart earlier. Need to obviously work with full buses ------------- Molly Malone's pub- The home of YBIG in Amsterdam! |

Hi Steve, I definitely want 3 places on the bus (me, the wife and 4 yr old). Asked my brother to book as I'm having issues transferring cash. He hasnt done it yet but says will do in a day or so as away with work. I have already emailed you to pls hold 3 spots if you can Keith, Sonja, Jessica

Is there any places left on the bus. I need 3 seats or I'm in a quandry. I've been trying to deposit both from here in Oz and my brother tried a bank & building society in Ireland. Does anyone have the paypal account details. I'll try that. Edit; I got paypal details and have booked 3 seats. Hope this is OK Steve and there are seats left. 96 euro deposited.

Hiya Baresi, I have the vouchers all ready to go, but a slight dispute at the moment with the bus company in regards to where we will depart from. This was to be 1 central point, but now they've all of a sudden split all the buses over 3 different spots in La Rochelle. Obviously we're not agreeing with this as it will create extra stress etc. But untill I get final confirmation of the 1 central pickup spot in La Rochelle, I don' want to send out the vouchers yet. We will be working with wristbands for each of the buses, and those will be able to be picked up in La Rochelle in the days leading up to the 18th. The voucher is purely needed to know where to get on/off etc and some house rules for on the buses. So not to worry, it's just that I need to have this last hiccup ironed out :-) Steve ------------- Molly Malone's pub- The home of YBIG in Amsterdam! |

It only dawned on me now that I had no idea where the buses were going from, or how we get on them etc Thanks Steve, I'll await your updates/vouchers etc. I have 25 lads getting the bus so you can get that bus to pull up outside our apartment ha..ha. |

Haha, cheers PL! But the wristbands will be available for collection in McNulty's Irish pub in the centre of La Rochelle on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday between 12.00 and 15.00. Other times possible, as we can meet. Just don't want to have to sit in the pub the entire day each day waiting for people to pick up the wristbands haha The email is more just a recap of the details, rules etc. The wristbands are the ones you need ------------- Molly Malone's pub- The home of YBIG in Amsterdam! |
