Nice one Pinky
Have you left on your intra EU Mega Sail / Rail / Everything but Planes trip yet

Regarding Watering holes............
Don't have a lot of Gra for the Celtic Pub.
We had great craic in the Lodge last year. That's where i'll be heading first. It's not the biggest of pubs though.
If we get a crowd we'll have to find a bigger spot. Any ideas?

I negotiated with the unions. They agreed to run the train if I could get them Santi's autograph. So should be there.

Booked 4 in the same row, I've booked into hotel continental aswel

Thanks for the link. It was "fun" alright.. 2 tickets booked in Row E and a decent headache at the end of it!

That's the side we have chosen if anyone is looking at the map. It's a "Fun" process buying the tickets ???

Hi, where would be the best section in the ground to buy tickets for this game?
Thanks

Anyone care to speculate on when EPCR might throw out some more details on the Quarter Final situation?
Obviously we won't know the line-ups until the previous round is over but you would hope they won't be sitting down on the Monday morning trying to work it all out for the first time. Knowing the day of each game would be kinda handy.
I booked the Ibis Budget in Cardiff for the Thursday and Friday just in case we are there. Saturday and Sunday are pretty expensive everywhere, it being Easter and all.

Any notions of the venice simplon-orient-express?

More like the Venice Pinklon Pony Express.
Booked the sleeper from Cologne to Innsbruck Thursday night.
No hurry on Friday now so I can take my time over the Brenner Pass.
Milan Sunday and then the Bernina back across and will have a gawk at the Black Forest for a few days on the way to Cardiff/Sportsground/Easter Dinner (delete as appropriate).

I booked the Hotel Garibaldi in Mestre anyway.
If the post-match craic ends up being in Treviso, the last train is at 23:27.

You could stay in Vicenza, it's only an hour away by train. Looks nice too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicenza

4pm kickoff will be easy to get to from from lots of places with more pub options.
Padova is about 40 mins away and is a nice spot.
Mestre even closer (never spent much time there but it has pubs and restaurants and is handy for everywhere).
