kevin11allan 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 just a wee word of warning to anyone going to italy, may the 1st in italy is a public holiday and i've heard that they shut down all the public transport i.e trains/buses for the whole day so those of you that are travelling might have some problems, they also shut all the pubs as well so i've heard. i dont have any links to back this up but i've heard it from a few people just thought i'd let you all know.

Don't believe eveything you hear mate. http://www.italiarail.co.uk/tickets/IR/IRUK.asp?AFF=ITR Assuming that they're not selling tix for cancelled trains. Pubs tough, yes they will likely be shut in the City Cente and near the ground. But restaurants and hotels will probably be OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

justiston 91 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 If you're going to pisa, theres a bus out side the airport (usual pink I think) that takes about an hour, tickets about a fiver. Takes you right to the bus/train station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmccallsfall 4 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I went to the Everton Fiorentina game. There was no bother. I was in the Fiorentina end with the most hassel being the Fiorentina fans singing Liverpool, Liverpool. There should not be any bother at this game guys. Fiorentina are a 'protestant' team in Italy and we should be rejoicing with these guys. They even sing hello, hello. There will be no bars open, absolutely not. There will be transport on, definately. Firenze has an airport, yes. I said Pisa because it'll be cheaper flying with Ryanair, thats all. Bologna is about 2 hours away on the train. You can book the train online on trenitalia website if you have a credit card and you get a reduction. You'll need to register first. Ive done this many times travelling over from Scotland and its the best way. Siamo protestante, siamo fratelli. Enjoy the game guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderhawk 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Well from what I hear the Fiorentina fans that came to Glasgow were sound! THey had Union Flags and where wearing Rangers jerseys etc. I reckon there will be no trouble at all over there. (Barring a few drunking scuffles) I have a new respect for Fiorentina fans having seen their "show" on Thursday night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalbraith 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Florence has an airport aswell, but I dont think Glasgow fly there direct either that or the flights are way too expensive. We are flying into Pisa and the lad who is the manager of our hotel has a mini-bus and is taking 8 of us into Florence and taking us back to Pisa for 40 euros each way, between 8? thats 5 euros each, each way. That will do me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
