That’d be kind of annoying if you were staying near the stadium, then was bussed over to Termini!

Better to be bussed out of the stadium than thinking you’d be fine walking back.

So you are forced onto a bus and cannot walk back ?

When I was there with England in 97, 0-0, we were held back three hours. When we were allowed out, no taxis, no buses; we all had to walk back. Long journey back to Hotel Napoleon by Piazza Vittorio Emanuel II, near the Termini.

 

Locals were riding around on scooters, the pillion guys waving knives around, but basically all for show. Might have changed with the current generation though!

Normally from 11 until 5.30 

 

Queues were okay until Eindhoven where it took approx 40 minutes

Not sure if this has been covered and slightly confused, my mate I’m travelling with isn’t jabbed, anyone got a useful link regarding testing and getting in the ground without a covid pass?

Do you have to collect your tickets in Rome or can you get them ordered straight to your home address?

I love the internet. 😂😂😂

A 21€ test with results in 15 minutes on match day can get him inside the stadium. Most likely he’ll need one also to enter the country and all this might change on the 1st of May

@SeanInRome - can you give me the link to register for two on your coaches ??

Not a keen flyer so considering driving to Rome. Reckon it'll be a good 24hr drive though, at least I can tick off the Mont Blanc tunnel on the bucket list

In Rome - you’ll be sent a voucher with your name on

That you'll need to pick up with your passport. No point trying to use your driving license.

Sorry if this has already been covered.

I'm assuming that they throw us on coaches after the game and drop us off somewhere near the railway station.

Does anyone know if away fans are held back after the game?

All that would achieve is to give their fans time to get back before us and hang around the drop off point.

Bottom line is, take a sleeping bag and a flask of Horlicks to cover the time before they let us out of the ground.

Especially with that Lorry Driver trying to reverse into a 6ft by 6ft entrance right by our ticket queue 😂

We got there about 12.30 and went to the bar almost opposite for a pint whilst the queue died down,  it stayed the same length for nearly 4 hours. Bar was good.

It's not a bad drive to be fair, be aware the French tolls add up to more than you ever think possible.

I considered this . About 16 hours according to Google maps. Price of fuel and tolls meant it was too expensive . Found flights for £36 so no brainer really

Club are proposing that anyone who travelled to Randers will be given elite supporter status for life.

 

Anyone who's going to Rome but hasn't been to any of the previous conference league games will be forced to travel from the centre of town to the ground in a bandwagon.

Club have assessed their options and any potential free tickets for the final are to be issued if only correctly singing the Dan Amartey chant, Sweet dreams chant and identifying Randers goalscorer in the second leg

And the albania chant. Bloke next to me in Randers got the words wrong the whole time. Barred for life.

Minimum of 24 hours I would say. I’ve drive to/from Bergamo in the north and it’s a right slog.

 

Mont Blanc tunnel is quite cool and the scenery around the alps is pretty cool but **** me that’s an effort . Why don’t you drive to north Italy and then jump on the train?

[Livid]

I didn’t realise we we’re getting so many tickets or I might have looked earlier at flights etc. 

 

Only feasible direct option I could see yesterday to fly in/out on Thursday/Friday seemed to be from Gatwick arriving in Rome at 3pm, flying out at 8am, having to pick up tickets, get to the ground etc and it just seemed a bit too much. 
 

The other issue is I’m actually meant to be at a twice rearranged covid gig on that night with non football mates. I binned them off last week for a gig where I was down with man flu. Probably won’t even get to watch it on TV!!

I been told ticket collection in Rome is at Colosseum, club staff in gladiator outfits with Top on the emperors seat. Top will give the personal thumbs up or down if you get a ticket depending on how much club merchandise you wear
