Pretty straight forward really, this is an information only thread about the travel packages.

But I'm going to lock it, and any queries can be posted on the individual location thread....

This is an aditional thread with details of all three Heineken away games - along with seperate threads below it for each of the Gloucester, Harlequins & Toulouse trips. It's getting a bit confusing.

Perhaps it be easier to post the relevant information and questions about each trip on those original threads?

i just dont travelling in buses as they take too long, so i went independent and booked flights to bristol, train to gloucester and stay for two nights, problem i have now though is securing tickets for the game, i booked for 6 guys and we got return flights for 50 quid and accomadation for 50 quid per room sleeping 2 per night, great value


Connacht will be getting an allocation to sell for the Kingsholm game, there was confirmation this morning on the Facebook. I may give the Gloucester Ticket Office a call to find out the locations so we can determine the best place to buy. I'll post all the ticketing info on the Gloucester thread....

Which match are you having trouble with CaltraMan (almost like a superhero name that)?? Looks like you got a great deal.

If they cannot find where it is on their system then it will be lost and I'll have to re-do it. I can post it here as well either way.

I tried sending out a newsletter from the Connacht Clan last night but the system failed somehow (despite giving me confirmation of the send). Contacted the LocalLotto people bout it but no response yet.
Took me ages to do it up last night so I hope they can recover it. :(

Not yet Ronan, but Fergus was saying that the Gloucester one was not looking great either.


Each Connacht Newsletter since the details were annouced should include reminders for these, it's in there interests too that as many supporters travel...

yeah, but also part down to a lack of fore-planning by all involved. We definitely need a better strategy for making the most of our resources and drumming up support.


Any word on numbers confirmed for the other packages?

Disappointing that, if you don't mind coach/ferry travel it seemed reasonably priced given the package but I suppose it's the easiest place to get to of our HEC opponents and most people have probably booked independently to keep cost down.

The Quins trip has been cancelled by Farrell Travel due to very low numbers (6 confirmed).

Thanks for that.

Wont know for another month whether I can go to Toulouse away or not. Depends on whether I'm going skiing.

I have a feeling that will be too late for the packages, but there will be no harm in checking it at the time

@ConnachtCows - Always looking for new followers :)
