We will be stuffed anyway, as a date is just a date - they dont necessarily confirm the host stadium, kick off time or anything - look at Stuttgart - we could of been planning for Munich or Berlin

Naples is probably the poorest city in Italy. It is a hole. Full of beggars and thieves. Itatians

Got stuck in Frankfurt on way to Bologna for San Marino match as the planeout of Dublin was delayed. Missed connection then. Faced with the choice of staying in airport for 2 days or extra 75 euro to Pisa. ( Ryanair dont do connections)Flew to Pisa and trainned it to Rimini. Italian train service excellant. Just remember to validate your train ticket . otherwise fine.

Yes i can vouch for that. Was there a few years ago and couldn't wait to get a bus out of the kip. Place is still run by the Mafia apparently and it shows.

It's actually run by the Camorra ( Mafia is Sicilian)..there's beggars and thieves all over the world lad..wouldn't let that bother me ..suppossed to be some beautiful parts as well. Would also be a lot cheaper than Rome/Milan..Real Italian people and great southern food with none of these poser sh1tebox Italians ya see walking down grafton street I tell ya..bring it on I say..
