Roma away

[didsburyblu]

we will be drawing clubs like this now till the end of time, what do we do, not go? we've done all the wycomes and shit and have dreamed about games like this.

i'm going. head down sure but i'm going. they want us to not go, fuck em.

no offence mate but your one of the least likely people to be able to keep your head down. Theyll be chasing after you with their autograph books and then when they hear the english accent you better hope your quick on your toes!!

They will just assume Robert de Niro is visiting his Italian roots. He will definitely get away without trouble but may have to sign a few autographs.

 

[AC Gorm]

Have managed to convince the other half to go to Rome. Going for a few days, do a bit of sight seeing, Christmas shopping and take in the match.

Got a good price on flights so had to book it really, only €154 from Dublin to Rome return.

I'm a bit worried about getting to the match as I won't have the safety of travelling on an official coach. Anyone know what it's like getting to the game on match days? I think public transport might be a bit too risky. I'm considering walking, it's not too far from where I'm staying.

Anyone else doing similar?

 

[Ticket For Schalke]

I'm always up for the craic but even i am a little worried about going, all my Italian mates tell me the same stories about them, so we're going for 5 nights but staying in Rome very little, Fiorentina are playing the night after so we're doing 2 nights in Florence and 1 night in Milan, trains, flights and hotels cost in total £192 which is fairly decent, still looking forward to it i speak a little Itie so we'll see how we get on.

Same, me and the missus are taking our 11 month old daughter over for 4 days and on the night of the match I will be heading to the game alone. My plan was to get a taxi as close to the ground as possible. Getting back to the hotel could be a problem but I will just try and be quick as my hotel isn't too far away either.

Travelling to Rome on my own, incognito of course. No colours and a half decent Spanish accent. Hope City will put on coaches to the game and back to the city centre as they did in Napoli.

 

[forgotusername]

Gunna look at booking it tomorrow, will be going on my own and as a 20 year old with only 1 previous euro away under my belt a bit nervous, but hey one has to start somewhere.

 

[davymcfc]

So with the Moscow game being played behind closed doors and the likelihood that this will be the decider I imagine the demand for tickets will be very high. What do you all think?

I'm overwhelmingly jealous of this plan.

When arse played Roma they had buses laid on from a meeting point,sounds similar to what we had for Napoli,would think city will do similar

The problem with the buses at these games is that they set off at some stupid time hours before KO.
You then end up in the ground for ages....no beer, crap entertainemnt and police messing you about.
Most in napoli didnt bother with them before game.....useful afterwards though

i hope its behind closed doors so we can get our money back.

Well my plan is to get a taxi up to the ground before the match but I was worried about what I was going to do afterwards. The plan is to remain as inconspicuous as possible.

We'll probably get kept in afterwards for about 45 mins - 1 hour like we did in 97

They didn't then but things were different, they estimated around 12,000 English were over there for the game and I can well believe it, it was chaos both before and after the game.

I'm led to believe that buses are now layed on for European games.
