Re: What a Lovely Trip to Belfaast !
Welcome to the Forum Sue!
I too was in Belfast last weekend for the game, but having worked over there for a number of years, rather than the Thomas Cook trip or the one organised by johnthegriff, I made my own way and spent a great afternoon in the company of ex-colleagues and Ulster fans before the game and then standing with them on the terrace for the great craic.
This was followed by more of the black stuff and more food in town before finishing the evening at a brilliant bar called Horatio Todd's in Ballyhackamore. Shame about the result but Belfast is always a great time!

Re: What a Lovely Trip to Belfaast !
Would love to do the trip with a supporters group but the costs are so high or the travel times are so long I always do it myself.These are my costs for my trip to Belfast. We stayed 3 nights in a superb 4* hotel (b + b). There were 2 couples and costs were:-
Flights = £144.36
parking = £32.67
petrol = £15
Airport taxi £30
total = £222.03 = £56 pp return
Hotel was £45 pppn and so the total cost for our 3 night stay was just over £190 pp.

Re: What a Lovely Trip to Belfaast !
The Away supporters club trip was for a two night stay in a four star hotel and included coach to and from the match, our cost was £235. The coach journey to Cairnryan is quite a long one,and is followed by a little over two hours on the ferry, a fairly long but pleasant journey. It was pleasing to see so many Tiger's fans in Belfast, it does not matter how they get there it is just nice to see them supporting their team. We will be running a trip to Paris in December, three nights in an Ibis hotel, transport and B & B for just £245 based on two sharing a room. We have a plan for an optional trip to Versailles on the Saturday. Phone 0116 2101056 or come to our table in the Final Whistle after a first team match.
