OK. Because of overwhelming interest in staying as long as possible we will do so. The busses will stay 8 hours in the cities, but have to leave at 24.00 the latest, because our drivers need to get some sleep to get you to the games the next day.

Legend :D

Thats perfect mate well done in organising it and special thanks to the bus drivers for taking the time to drive us there and back :lol:

P.S .. What do you guys think of my sigs below?? They are my 1st two ever made, if any1 wants one just pm me :D

Yeah, midnight return is good, n1 Berni.

Any chance something could be arranged so that we can arrive in the City for 12.00pm instead.......dont mind paying extra, and I am sure others wont either?

12 hours would be the dogs danglies!

Berni, can you explain more about this 8 hrs in the city like rough idea of how long before and after each match.

That depends on when the games start.
Unfortunatly our drivers can´t leave later then 00.00, because they need to get some sleep to get you to the next game safely.

ok i will be more specific. Given that there is a limit on the driving and working hours for your drivers and the fact that people wish to arrive early enough to try to get tickets and stay late to party can you give the estimated arrival and departure times for the following kick-off times; 15.00, 18.00 and 21.00. Am happy with whatever arrangements you intend to make but would like to have a better idea of the timings as some people seem to believe the coach will be leaving the city at midnight after each match and as you say your guys need their rest. :)

for the england games the busses will start leaving at 8 so that they will arrive at the cities between 10 and 12.
however there will be buses which leave later for people who have their tickets already.
the buses will be leaving the cities at between 0 and 1 which leaves 13 hours for the frankfurt game.

You say there is a bus going earlier for those who need tickets, is there any chance of one coming back earlier (ie 1-2 hrs after game) for those who want it? :D

as we have 7 buses for the england games by now this can be arranged if there is enough interest, but we estimate that people want to stay as long as possible.

ok thanks. Will put a topic looking for others who don't want to spend so long in the city after the match. Your timings are fine for the later kick offs ie 18.00 and 21.00 but don't much fancy spending 6 hours after 15.00 matches.

i thought you are not coming anyway

Not asking for myself but for my hubby, as i have said before. he is a bit of a technophobe, still learning how to use a computer :lol: mind you am still hopeful of getting tickets so you never know.

What if for example my team plays at 9pm. If they win I would want to stay in the city the entire night partying and covering the fans for the magazine I work for. Is there an option where I would pay the full return fare but be able to use the return part for the next day either in the morning or night?

that would certainly be great for everyone

you can do so, but since you are taking away aspace on the coach you have to pay in full

Its a long shot but as I only require the journey back from the first England game in Frankfurt if anyone wants to go halves as they wana stay over in frankfurt then let me know.

I fly in on the Friday nite and will be staying with family that nite but then travelling to the campsite after the game on the saturday. No probs otherwise, I'm sure I can find some other way of getting there esp as this is an early game!

We have signed an agreement with the bus company which guarentees you a stay of at least 8 hours in the host cities.

This basically means that the coaches will be arriving 2 hours before the game and leave around 5 hours after the game.

Only the 21.00 match coaches will have to leave between 00.00 and 01.00, but will arrive much earlier.

The coaches will be parked within walking distance from the stadiums
from where you can reach the city center in no more than 20min with public transport in each city.

For the England games the coaches can leave individually but you need to let us know when you would like to go.
