Well; I was over for the game on saturday. I got a ticket in 212 for £40 (thank you, you know who you are!), my return flight cost me €44/£35 (€60 off as my last flight was delayed by over an hour) and the hotel cost me £121. Two programmes (one for me and one for a workmate); £6. Food and drink around the stadium (Tony's chippy and Mary D's); £15. So that cost me a total of £217. I must be fucking mad!

Two nights. I could have flown over on saturday morning but the flight is due in at 10:45. If the flight is late coming in (even by, say, half an hour), that'd leave it tight for a 12:45 kick off. You'd be amazed how half an hour can disappear form getting off the plane throught the walk to the train station to the bus ride out to the stadium.

tbh i thought you would stay two nights with an early kick off
like you say you can't afford missing a connection at that time


we had a cheap day
drove in about £5
four pints at the game, and two out, £28
driven home, priceless

There is the alternative arrangement of flying out early from Dublin (two and a half hour drive, so leaving the house around 3 a.m.), then flying back again on saturday night, getting into Dublin sometime after 11 p.m., getting back to Mayo around 2-3 am. No hotel costs, but about 6 gallons of diesel used up. And physically, that round trip is a killer. I did it a few times, and I was wrecked the next day. The ideal arrangement is for a 3 o'clock saturday kick off (remember them?); you could then fly out on saturday morning from the local airport, get into the city centre around midday-ish, have a shandy or two, see the game, stay over on the saturday night, then fly back home on sunday afternoon. That's why I can't do sundays/mondays/midweeks (the cost with the two days off work would be prohibitive). I had to take last friday off work (without pay) as it was to get over for the game.

i think the nest Saturday game is Leicester away, i think it will be very popular

Myself and son going over for Newcastle match....06:20 Ryanair flights : €68
Overnight stay in centre of Manchester ...... €88
Best of all, tickets for both of us £15 + £1 ...... €22
Total: €178

I think that's a great deal and you wouldn't get tickets at that price at Liverpool/Manure/Arse
