Scarlets on the 23rd

BlueBlood · Post by **BlueBlood** » September 11th, 2006, 6:51 pm

Hi all,

Just wondering if theres many out there heading to Llanelli for the match?
Killester travel seem to be doing a half decent deal for 300 squids one night all in.
In two minds as to whether to go or not after the Edinburgh trip but a decent crowd heading over would sweeten the deal alright seen as I'll probably have to do a solo.
Cheers

All the information you need is in THIS thread BlueBlood .... there's quite a few options though. However, a lot of people seem to be travelling over.

There is a few of us going over alright. Leaving Dublin on Ryanair at 6.30am Sat and returning Sun at 3.30 with Aer Lingus. Train to Llanelli from Bristol (return) and one night in the same hotel as Killester. All in we paid about €135 per person sharing.

I think KT can justify charging more on the basis that you have to spend less time in WALES.

Agreed. It is also not possible to spend enough money not being in WALES.

Erm, it must be a Cavan thing - what in God's name is a "rex"?

Those flights are still cheap alright. Works out at about 40 squid at the mo.
Have you booked the trains already apple and if so for what times?
The original plan was to go with Killester and take it handy on the beer but it looks like thats out the window now.
Ended up spending a fortune in Edinburgh and was bollixed by the time kick off came. Sure, whats the harm!
Anyone else find any cheap accommodation?

Its a word meaning a coin, it comes from the fact that the kings head, whoever it was, was in the coin, with "<name> rex" around the edge of the coin

Aaah! You do indeed learn something new every day.

Still, with my Connacht trip being cut short I could be tempted. But is there any way to avoid having to spend a night in WALES?

I haven't booked the train yet. Just buy a ticket at the station. The hotel is £75 per room so if you can get someone to share you're laughing.

I'd like to say that I'm now offended by this entire thread.

My Mummy's from Wales, and your disparaging remarks have all been noted.

That said, it is a dump, and I have to pay to get in. That's ridiculous. They should be giving me money to thank me for going.

I thought you said you were Scottish?

Mummy's Welsh (which is why I hate the English), and Daddy's Scottish (which is why I found it really, really, really hard to shout at Chris Patterson to miss on Friday night)
