Was in Cardiff twice last year for rugby world cup (yes I like football and rugby  ) flights to Cardiff and Bristol were ridiculous prices. Flew in / out of Manchester and got the train down. Direct train with arriva Wales. Only thing is it takes about 3-4 hours depending on stops but plenty of time for cans!

FAW will not of course confirm stadium for a while but potentially with a huge influx of Irish supporters for weekend and last match they may switch games from Cardiff City stadium (33,000) to Millennium Stadium (80,000 capacity). Course if both of us tank in the qualifiers where completely adrift with 6 months to go I think they may opt for the local park. |

Holyhead to Cardiff by train takes about 4 1/2 hrs direct service and potentially combined with Ferry ticket could be done reasonably cheaply. Alternative fly to Gatwick .................... train to Cardiff via Reading avoiding London or other airports and then Train from Paddington if Cardiff / Bristol / Birmingham options are too costly. Figure if tickets become a prob will end up in Welsh end as Welsh fans sorted me for tickets for Belgium game in Bordeaux and also for France games in Lyon.

Not if you are travelling from Dublin. The train to Rosslare is slow and the journey from Pembroke / Fishguard involves a heap of changes: it's much simpler via Holyhead. I'm definitely going that way, anyway. -------------

FAW have confirmed to fans they will be using Cardiff City for the qualifiers. which given away supporters they can justify. They however were non committal regarding our game to their own fans, the 70,000 fans rather than 30,000 has some attractiveness. Even more so if this was the game to celebrate their qualification. It will come down to cash for FAW in the end.

| I was looking at the routes awhile back and thought I'd do the ferry and then I seen the time from Holyhead to Cardiff . 4 hours on a ferry and 4.5 hrs on the train . Give or take a hour or two for getting to the ferry and its 10 hours . Feck that , U.K. Airport and train into Cardiff , remember it's a Tuesday night game . So if travelling on a Tuesday you will more than likely getting in 2 hours before KO . Get to the hotel bags dropped and heading for the ground shortly after that . So it could be a long aul day .

If annual leave is a problem for Wales away next year then there is a way of going to it and only taking 1 day off and not 2. Jump on a direct bus from Cardiff to Heathrow or London Victoria at 11:15pm or later after the match and grab the first flight out of London Tuesday morning.

Been a secret admirer of your forum since Christmas, but only officially registered today, Just wanted to say how much i admired your vocal support at the two games i attended (v Sweden in Paris and v Belgium in Bordeaux). Alongside the Icelanders (who I really enjoyed seeing in Nice), your supporters are great. I am a Welsh lad from Cardiff, btw. Had the pleasure of meeting #oscardelta and his lad at the Belgium match. Looking forward to our game in March and all the best v Serbia and Georgia this Autumn.

That is excellent information and a superb price! Ibis Budget Cardiff city centre is a 6 or 7 minute walk from the pub/restaurant area of St Mary's Street and the Brewery Quarter and under 10 minutes walk to the main railway station. Its about 20 minute walk to the stadium. Novotel Cardiff, is right next to the above - at €75/night. The official HI Youth Hostel is also right next to these two, although it is fully booked on match day. Beds at 22 pounds available Sunday and Tuesday nights though. http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/cardiff-central If you are flying into Cardiff airport, T9 - The Cardiff Airport Express Bus Service stops at the Customs House, which is about 5 mins away from the above hotels. costs 5 pounds or 7 euro. See http://www.trawscymru.info/t9/" rel="nofollow - http://www.trawscymru.info/t9/ Not sure about the RiverHouse (overlooking the Millennium Stadium) and only 10 minutes walk to Cardiff City stadium. A very decent other option would be Ibis Cardiff Centre (the non Budget one, costing 60 euro) on Churchill Way, which is smack bang in Queen Street, and might FEEL more safe to walk around after dark. Especially if there are ladies among you. East Tyndl Street is a little secluded and has an industrial feel. Again, its only a 4 or 5 minute walk to St Davids 2 shopping centre and John Lewis, though |

Stansted to Cardiff is a train, a tube and a train - Probably about 4 hours in total. You could fly into Heathrow with BA (Not cheap, I know), get a bus to Reading which will take about 30 mins and then connect with a Cardiff train which will take about 90 mins. |

Salzburg: fly into Bristol or Birmingham. Lufthansa fly from Birmingham to Munich. It should be under €100 once they go on sale in a few weeks time. Lufty don't fly to Bristol though. Manchester is about €120 but it should be cheaper in terms of the train on to Cardiff, even though it takes a bit longer, because of the idiosyncrasies of UK train ticket advance pricing. Easyjet fly Vienna to Bristol and Manchester. It's a fair bit cheaper to get from Bristol to Cardiff than it is from Manchester or Birmingham. -------------

Anyways, the split your ticket website will be dead handy for anybody needing to get trains in the UK for the Wales game.

Nah, not if you're travelling from Dublin, only from the South East really.... unless you are driving, in which case it probably is better. Also, heading back, there is no train north from Rosslare after the ferry arrives at 18:00. There's a train that departs at 17:55, but the ferry doesn't arrive til 18:00, which is utterly retarded. That said, you could get the bus, but that is a separate ticket, unlike the sail rail via Holyhead, which is all one ticket from Dublin to Cardiff. Unless you live close enough to Rosslare to catch the 09:00 ferry over, it's the 9pm ferry, a 2am train from there, and an arrival in Cardiff at like 5am. I wouldn't recommend that route unless either you are driving or you live in the South East and have an independent route to and from Rosslare. -------------

Paulie, you are in the posh 60 euro/night place. Churchill Way is a stones throw from Queen Street (the main shopping street) and a lot busier with pubs and restaurants, right next to you. East Tyndel Street is a little out of the way, in a slightly more secluded / more industrial area. Still, its just a 6 or 7 minutes walk to the nightlife/bars/restaurants of St Mary's etc. There is actually a cheap Travellodge on St Mary's itself for 30 quid/night as well as another one on Queen Street for 40 quid |

I'll answer it anyway KC, someone can delete or move it later. Welsh FA confirmed their home games for 2016 are going to be played in Cardiff City stadium, they have not confirmed anything about 2017 yet. There are those of the view that they would move to the bigger one if demand is there & they are in contention for 1st/2nd, but also some think they won't move it as it would mean giving us more tickets & they might not want to do that. Not too many experts on the workings of the Welsh FA around here, so who knows. Personally, I always believe if yer looking to know what lads in suits might do, follow the money, ergo they will move it if demand exists. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Serbia beat the Welsh next month and it will be more than likely Cardiff as they will struggle to top the group . Then we beat them in March and they are totally f**ked . Then we can take over Cardiff City ground and have a party after topping our group |

| Booked up in the IBIS myself for this for a reasonable price but was looking at prices in Dublin for the game in March just out of curiosity to see what the Welsh would be paying. Bloody hell but Dublin is an expensive place to stay. The only half way reasonable places (I didn't look at Air BnB to be fair) are hostels and you're still paying big money to stay in a 10 bed dorm. One hostel was outrageous, €318 for 3 nights in a dorm. |

there must be something on that weekend , I remembered to book by chance a couple of months ago and was shocked at the pretty limited choice - got a decent enough deal in the end but there wasn't a lot of choice ------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |

| Ryanair have released their flights for October 2017 - while you cannot fly directly to Cardiff, you can book Bristol or Birmingham. Decent prices at the minute. |
