Not sure about Ukraine but the 4 Polish cities look to have decent rail links between them. Balbec may verify

I’d imagine they’ll send out tickets to people who aren’t even going. That’s what they did with the Estonia match anyway. I think in theory anyway the number of away matches people have attended is taken into account.

Train system in Poland is very good.there used to be flights from Dublin to gdansk don’t know if there still are.gdansk is lovely place.not far from sopot which is by the sea.wroclaw is nice enough but not a patch on gdansk.i stayed in stranger hostel in gdansk and Wroclaw.very nice.i wasn’t mad about Warsaw but all in all Poland is a superb place.id give it an 8.5/10

Great stuff. Let’s hope for Poland

Have only Warsaw and Krakow experience, enjoyed both for different reasons. Warsaw was a stag.

In general i find the Poles bang on, but know very little of the Ukraine or their people only that the best and most beautiful usually leave to Poland and Germany.

Balbec,

Thinking I’m going to book a flight to Krakow before the draw is made and before flights completely sky rocket. If we get drawn in Poland then happy days and if Ukraine then it seems there are regular trains from Krakow to Lviv and Kiev at least.

Do you know what these trains are like? I tried googling it but didn;t get much joy. Would we need to book train tickets in advance to get into Ukraine? Any websites you can recommend? (Even if they are Polish websites as my mate’s missus is Polish so we could get her to book the train tickets,etc).

Also how is Krakow for campsites?

Cheers mate

Try this website Julio

www.bahn.de

Over 19 hours from Krakow to Kiev

balbec · November 24, 2011, 2:10pm

Vruts lav would get you close

balbec · November 24, 2011, 2:13pm

Very nice town in the centre. Looks a bit industrial in parts on the way in but a very nice spot.

balbec · November 24, 2011, 2:23pm

Let me get back to you. Main rail website is pkp.pl. I’ve seen a couple of campsites in Krakow, I’ve booked TASE in to one already.

balbec · November 24, 2011, 2:24pm

Did you see the cunt with the Clare jersey 1:30 in?

balbec · November 24, 2011, 2:37pm

A few sample train journey times:

Wroclaw - Krakow 4.5-5.5 hours depending on train type.
Warszawa - Gdansk 6.5 hours
Warsaw - Wroclaw 5-6.5 hours
Warsaw -Poznan 2.5-3 hours
wroclaw - gdansk 8 hours
warsaw - krakow 2:40
krakow - gdansk 9-12 hours

watch out for train types, look for Intercity or Eurocity trains.

balbec · November 24, 2011, 2:48pm

Try this one, it’s about a mile from my place. Right at the back of a major supermarket. Also on the main tram track into town

Anyone planning on booking flights and accommodation after the draw tomorrow ?

Thrawneen · December 1, 2011, 7:59pm

Yep, I’ve called a meeting with my pals for the weekend. What’s looking like the best option? Out of sheer laziness sake I’m considering getting a loan from the credit union and going the Abbey Travel route. A camper van would be the preferred option though, it’d be marvelous fun altogether.

Whiplash · December 1, 2011, 10:18pm

Might come in handy tomorrow.

balbec · December 2, 2011, 10:07am

Brilliant Whiplash, thanks

Big_Dan_Campbell · December 2, 2011, 10:11am

Balbec,

how hard will it be to get hotel rooms or hostels for the Euro’s will there be enough beds to meet the demand. i have no interest slumming it in a camp site
