See post 20. I hope I'm not flogging a dead horse here, I'm asking a favour. Are there any Irish fans who tweet? Could someone please send a tweet to TF, who's at Silverstone, and ask him if he will consider using his QPR plane to fly Irish fans into Heathrow. Please
Righteo.. it heathrow for us... Congrats and 180km cycle CORKeR I did 226 miles myself between friday and saturday....
cah, I've been given the names of 2 places to stay. the Moran hotel in chiswick which might do a discount for a group and the adria in hammersmith which is owned by a QPR supporter and is very close to the ground. I'll have a look at them later and let everyone know what the prices are. all interested parties can then decide what they want to do.
inked i stay in that moran hotel was told it was 5 mins from LR it wasnt.. cab journey needed. in saying that the hotel was perfect and mac donalds next door....MMMMMMMMMMM mac donalds. I think an irish bar accross th road also. QPR fnas bnb could be good fun and maybe a lil messy lol
Ok jut to keep people in the Hoop(see what i done there ) it looking like inked corker meself and maybe one more fling dub to heathroe 17 nov 9 am flight return 18 nov 2.25 flight.. Flight not booked yet just waiting to hear back from someone to confirm... hotel not decided yet but holiday inn could be a possibilty/
Which Holiday Inn Cork, Hammersmith or North Acton? I have stayed at the North Acton one. It is 2 stops on the tube to White City so handy. There is also a Crowne Plaza at Hanger Lane which is 4 stops on the Central Line to White City. If we book a hotel together as a group, we might get a more favourable rate.
I'm on the facebook page finglas. that's what I was told too. book the flights asap then we can try block booking the tickets and somewhere to stay. as soon as I get the thumbs up I'll book my flight. I would like this sorted sooner rather than later though. I'm a bit of a worrier!
Finglas it was the hammerwmith one i was looking at.. but will bow to your superior knowledge.... inky you say you a worrier is that why you need the loo sooo much lol.. as soon as a.n. other gets back we will book flights
yes cah, you've seen what happens when I get nervous, I'll be in the seat closest to the loo. on the plane, in the ground....
Cork, the Hammersmith one is fine. It is 2 short stops on the tube to the Bush. For 2 people sharing it is £120 for the night. The North Acton one is also 2 stops on the tube and £95 for two. The Crown Plaza Hanger Lane is 4 stops on the tube and £80 for two people. I don't mind spending money but if we choose a hotel that is out of some people's reach, the high costs might put some people off. The Crown Plaza is propably a better standard of hotel than the other two but a little bit further out. If I was to choose one of the two Holiday Inn hotels, I would propably choose the North Acton one. It just depends on what people want. Either way, I still think we can get reduced rates if we get definite numbers and book the hotel as a group. In my opinion, this is the order we should book the trip; 1. Book flights and confirm you are definetely going. 2. Enquire with the QPR box office about group match tickets once we have definite numbers. 3. Approach different hotels for a group rate, again, once we have definite numbers. Maybe we should set some deadlines in order that people don't worry??? How about we set a deadline of Monday fortnight ie 23rd July to confirm that your flights are booked and therefore you are going on the trip. That will give us plenty of time to do everything else. Inked, what is it you are worried about?
so the plan is we worry about the flights then on july 23rd we confirm numbers and worry about the tickes and hotel. Inky we will do the worrying you just stay be the toilet door..
ok, i agree with all of the above. i havent heard from tramore in a while so as soon as we hear from corkeR we'll book the flights then i'll breathe easy. agreed?
Txt'd Inky earlier, all being well i'll be there as well, but will do it as a day trip, looking a flights out of Waterford or Eurolines bus.
corkeR said hes going too but will make his own way over and cork-a-hoop is on the same flight as me. happy bunnies all round!
Im also booked ..... im going to start a new thread to mak it easier to see who is going and what flights.. took ages to find the page with the flight times.
southampton nov 17th northy. finglas has set a deadline of july 23rd for anyone thats going. we can approach the box office about block booking tickets and hotels then. theres also a facebook page called irishrssuperhoops who are going on the same day. maybe finglas is the man behind that too!?!
Lol Inked. Behind that too? I'm not too sure who set up the facebook page but it wasn't me. About 4/5 lads on the facebook site have expressed an interest in going. Just waiting on them to confirm they are booked. The deadline set is 23rd July.
