Greece get to play in Eindhoven and Gibraltar Rotterdam.

Theres a boat from Hull.

It goes to Olland.

With plenty of friendly oil rig workers to guide you along the way. 

Careful on the way back though. Make sure the Norland is going the right way!

Lovely times too, into the dam at 4pm Friday,  out at 12 midday Sunday.

Anyone have any experience in that? Best routes etc? 

Disappointed it's not Rotterdam but I suppose it could have been anywhere 

Happy enough to pay a bit extra for decent times - woukd think AL and Ryanair will be wise to the game  

Was hoping for Rotterdam as well just for somewhere different 

You'd think so but to be fair to AL and I know it's a smaller game than Holland in terms of travel but they didn't really go to mad on the prices for Greece, put on an extra flight at €180 for it when they could have gone to whatever they want.

Will wait and see anyway, plenty of options, trains etc.

Likewise would have preferred somewhere else, there'll be a hell of alot travelling to Amsterdam with no interest in the football 

Gutted we don't get to play at De Kuip. One I want to tick off, although majority would have stayed in Amsterdam either way.

We won't take that many unless there is some massive upturn in our form or we have a chance of going through (which would take a miracle). I'd say the interest in travelling away to watch us amongst the bandwagon element is at an all time low.

Everyone said that about Glasgow

sail rail ticket from ireland to london then on to the direct eurostar from london to amsterdam. it would be a very long day and probably only possible if starting off from dublin.

btw with the sail rail ticket you can start your journey from any train station in ireland.

Going to try my best  

 Drugs and Hookers will make for 1000,s travelling . Now before you say it i am going because Stephen Kenny will be putting on a show . 

You just concentrate on a good steak restaurent 

 

Loetje is a Dutch chain steakhouse, there's a few of them around Amsterdam. They do a lovely steak. 

 ended up in some Uruguayan place on a street full of steak houses which was excellent  - but it was years ago  

It's bad in "woof" sorry rough areas of town .

mother of god what a trip

I'd imagine this might reduce the numbers

Booked from Cork €150 RTN. Happy days.

It means I've France, Gibraltar and Holland all on direct routes from Cork. Happy days 

 

Edit : just had a look this morning and there's a few increases €20 or so more than last night and looks like a fair few seats already sold. Base prices last night were around €50-70 outbound Friday and €105 for the Sunday returns which is in line with other weekends. That's about €90 outbound this morning and 105 still for 3 of 4 flights on Sunday 

If so they've been asleep at the wheel for Athens & have excellent value for the game in Faro still 

Massive result 

We could be out by the time we get to Faro and Amsterdam. AL mighn't get the expected numbers. TBH there's lots of options to get to these games....

Could be?! 

We'll be out before Athens. 

Has anyone booked central accom at a reasonable price? Looking at booking.com and prices seem quite high

Off the wagon and drinking like a fish again pal 

No

Surprised the oul fella is going there with you again after your carry on the last time!

I promised him that there will be no whacky tobaccy this time

They are steep. Booked over from BFS on the Friday.

There's an easyJet flight to Stansted on the Sunday which I've booked, not too bad a price. Plenty of options back to Ireland; will hopefully get the Derry flight when they go on sale.

One (maybe the only?) advantage of Brexit is that the Brits allow 4L of duty free spirits these days, so going via Britain can work out alright if you're making use of the allowance. Can't get it if you fly directly to the north from the EU, but if you fly to the north from Britain, you're allowed whatever amount you want.

London to Belfast you can get duty free ? Really - you sure  ? Didn’t know that 

( not particularly botthered as well stocked up on spirits arm) 

Looked at the easyJet flight but the late Sunday put us off

Nah, mean on the EU-Britain flight, you can get your 4L. Then bring the 4L on your flight to the north. Eu-North, it's considered the Single Market, so no duty free.

Wee quirk of the protocol, I suppose.

Ryanair are selling 1L of Jameson for €20, so at least stock up on that.

How do you get 4L on a GB NI flight 

It’s not 20 euro London to Belfast 

Was 15 euro London to Dublin in nov 

I am confused ( not for the first time ) 

 

On a separate note I am partial to a jameson here and there, but have been picking up a bottle everytime on a flight between Ireland and UK due to yhe price and have ended up with a cupboard of the stuff, spending more than I would have out the supermarket. Its like some brain freeze everytime I see it at that price. Brexit will be cancelled by the time I get through it all.

hopefully ISIS arent monitoring this site 

Know what you meant , got to the stage i was asking relatives did they need any spirits as i had had enough  bacrardi/baileys/gin to last an age 

Looking to make a right trip of this, maybe 10 days or so. Dublin-Cherbourg and then a couple of nights in 2 or 3 towns and cities. Never done anything like this before so not sure yet if I'll be able but certainly going to try

I imagine tickets for this game will be relatively difficult to get?

most with any sort of a record should be ok  remember gone are the days when a large proportion of tickets were siphoned off  - it would be the first away gamers i would worry about as not necessarily all will be that interesested in the football 

You could be right NR as there is a tulip festival at the same time , sure loads will be going for that alone maybe 

Sound, booked these myself 

Booked it last night myself too. €180 return. Happy enough with that for direct flights.

What did you expect.. clowns here doing Ryanair and Aerlingus job for them. Never ceases to amaze me how many people post how cheap they got a flight etc. and next day boom. they've shot up. Amsterdam is easy to get to directly or via surrounding countries. Might be all pie in the sky if we're out of it by November 18th. you won't be able to give flights away... 

With all due respect, anyone who's into that sort of thing would have a great time in any Irish city or town any weekend, its in plentiful supply, you don't need to be going to Amsterdam for it 

Does anyone know the sort of places they're most likely to be...so I can avoid them!? 

Very little options unfortunately on both airbnb and booking.com. 

The fact it's a Saturday night doesn't help. 

I would expect it to be oversubscribed , sat night  ? in amsterdamm dont think accomodation prices wil put people off 

Probably be October, entitled to around 2.7k tickets and even of we've nothing to play for it's a Saturday night it'll probably be over subscribed 

Original take off 10.05am

New take off 13:25

Probably not until mid October after the Gibraltar game
