Montpellier in December, how are we getting there?

[LE18]

Help would be useful with this one, seems we cannot fly there from anywhere local.

Why have you started this thread? Was the title of the 'Next Season's Heineken Cup all threads merged here' thread too confusing?

[LE18]

Too much lost in such a large file, this is a specific request for help, and i dont need any abuse from you thank you.

What i think BJ was inferring was that if you do a quick search of the forum, then the following quote will appear which may be of help to you (see quote below). You may then wish to post your question on the same thread too, as you could then reasonably expect others interested in this trip to be monitoring it and reply.

Well I've booked my flights to Montpellier

So there is someone else going - you could also try sending them a pm ?

Hope this helps

It wasn't abuse, it was thinly-veiled sarcasm. May I suggest you read the fourth post on the 'Rules of the Forum, FAQ and other information' sticky at the top of the Fans Forum page?


Thank you Jay C.

Regardless of whether you think it will be "lost" - the moderators would request that people please use existing topic threads wherever possible.

[LE18]

Thank you Rizzo, i appreciate the need to keep threads to a minimum, i did read that another reader had booked his flights but these are from Gatwick, very useful if you work in London, but my wife and I are OAPs living in leicestershire and i had hoped that some sensible replies might be posted on a specific request which at this time appears problematical. The existing thread covers all aspects of the cup, i would have hoped that a thread regarding travel to a specific match could have been allowed, and better received by a certain sarcastic poster who is obviously more adept at surfing than me. I look forward to the more enlighten poster's comments as i know they are out there and no doubt willing to give sensible advice.

Following our successful venture to Toulon on Eurostar I think that may well be favourite for Montpellier.

By the time you have travelled to the airport and booked in x number of hours before flight this then adds up to a total travel time not much different to the train!

[LE18]

Thanks Fentiger, thats a possibility that we may consider, how close to Monpellier can we get, i know there is a station there as we had to go by train from Marsellier to Monpellier to get home after the Toulon match.

Glad you enjoyed Treviso, its a super place, we have visited 3 times now, nice city and so close to Venice and Verona.

[fentiger]

Now now LE18, 'twas Toulon, not Treviso! Will probably fly if we go too Treviso, though

For Ulster we will be travelling on the Friday by coach to Holyhead, ferry to Dublin the coach to Belfast as we did last time check into the hotel in time for a meal before going to the match.

For the perpignan game in 2010 we were due to fly from Stanstead to Carcasonne and then drive to Perpignan. That was christmas time and the drive to Montpellier fron Carcasonne is not too far if you don't mind driving on the wrong side.

[Crumbie Dweller]

Hi All,

If anyone is interested we are looking to run a coach to Montpelier. Details to be confirmed, but aiming to leave Leicester tea time Friday, arriving in Montpellier early to mid afternoon Saturday for two nights b&b in a centrally located hotel. The coach will be available for travel to and from the game on Sunday if required, then leaving sometime Monday mid-day, aiming to get back into Leicester for breakfast on the tuesday morning.
Please contact Mick on 07958 049210 for further details.

Sorry Fentiger for my misread, my heckles were up at the time.

Many thanks to the other posters, info noted, will discuss with my friends and no doubt action later.

Trains are good especially from the East Midlands which go straight into St Pancras. It's possible to phase your journey too by having an overnight at Lille or a variety of places on the way. Prob get cheaper fares if travelling at less busy times etc.
