Flight to Rome, stay overnight then direct train next morning. The booze ban was a nightmare though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have absolutely no complaints about Helen We used her buses to get to Bari from Rome and back and a potential disaster turned out to be one of the best days out ever. Got to the arranged bus departure point and had an absolutely cracking wee bus hostess The script was that of the approximate 10 buses or so organised, 2 buses would be paired and stick together on the journey. Was still a bit hungover from the night before so had not planned on boozing, plus the driver had made it known that the bus toilet would not be getting opened. Anyway we made it south down the west coast past Montecassino and started the road east towards Bari but our bus was starting to have engine issues. We eventually broke down miles from anywhere apart from a small truck stop and the other bus we were paired with joined us. It was early afternoon and it was scorching The wee truck stop had a bar and bottles of ice cold Peroni were 1 Euro Everyone on both buses was able to freshen up, use the truck stop amenities, have some scran and get absolutely blootered in the 3-4 hours it took to get our bus repaired. We were poured back on the buses with a cargo and the drivers had no option but to then make the bus toilets available to us A great party ensued and further along about an hour from Bari we stopped at a big hypermarket to stock up on more booze for the rest of the journey and the beach party We only got about an hour and a half of the beach party then our bus took us up to the ground Met the bus in the car park after the game and were taken back to Rome and dropped off at the Airport 3 hours before our flight Legendary trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintlyscot Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Stayed in a wee hotel just outside of the dry zone. About 10 scots in the hotel and got so drunk on the morning of the game I left my wallet with match ticket in taxi going to Bari. Had to crawl through gap in perimeter fence to get into game! Said wallet was returned to me next day when driver took us to airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laud Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The boy in the wee shop at the harbour was making a fortune, 1 euro a bottle of beer handed oot the back window until the pubs said feck it and opened anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) The police did shut a pub by the square. We simply headed down a side lane and found a restaurant / bar (think it was called Americano or something like that) - nae bother. Flora had to fish me out of a bin later on at night - we went back there after the match. Edited October 26, 2014 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newryrep Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 police shut the bars when we were there but don't nothing about the guys selling beers off hand carts - it was a farce, was drinking spirits at 1.00 which is never a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalgety Bay TA Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Booze ban? It's the most pished I've ever seen the TA. I even had a beer wi the Caribinieri - ban my arse. Probably the drunkest I've been at a game of football. Definitely the most pished TA I have ever seen. I think we bought 3 bottles of vodka going thru Stansted for match day in case the ban was enforced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
