killie97 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've missed out on a place on buses being organised (my own fault, too late in responding). Anyone know of any buses with spare seats ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j b lyons Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 As far as I am aware there are NO buses arranged from Faro as yet. Not known if Gibraltar FA have any arrangements made for transport but as their fans will probably have arrived in coaches I doubt if they will take any responsibility for getting us there. . Ireland play there before us and will have a sizable support so all should become clear from that game. Certainly walking from Faro to stadium is not something I look forward to as that is at least a 2 hr walk (sober). Situation could also be complicated as it is a Sunday in a very strong Catholic country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Mcdermott Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm running 8 buses from Albufeira which are a sell out. If I get enough reserve names I will put a bus on from Faro to the stadium at a cost of £13 pp return journey providing I fill the bus.

Scanner Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have organised two buses from the Hotel Eva in Faro to the game and back. I have booked with a local coach operator and if someone wants to organise coaches from Faro if you PM me I will forward you there contact details.

manewhut Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 get the train Estádio Algarve is located about 8 kilometres north of the city of Faro, about halfway between Faro and Loulé. The stadium has its own train station, Parque das Cidades, with service to Faro, Loulé and other regional destinations. About 10 trains a day run between Faro and Parque das Cidades. The journey takes about 6 minutes, the walk from the station to the stadium a further 15 minutes. The stadium lies next to the A22 motorway which runs across the Algarve and links up with the A2 to Lisbon further west. From the A22 take exit 13 toward Faro. Merge onto the IC-4, and leave the IC-4 again at the first exit (after less than a kilometre). Address: Estádio Algarve, Parque das Cidades, 8135-014 Almancil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j b lyons Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Always nice to get back again as well though and an 8 k hike does not sound like fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I reckon there will be a fair few walking back from the game into Faro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I reckon there will be a fair few walking back from the game into Faro. Not I. Managed to get on one of Scanners busses. As you say, 8 clicks hike back at 22:00 dosent sound like fun to me. Especially with my kilt and flip-flops on! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheres the pies Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 surely the authority's will have transport laid on and sfa should be liaising with the Portuguese given that there could be anything up to 15.000 folk going to this one or is that to much to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Mcdermott Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have 10 seats available on my bus, see other post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
