Agree with Mr Mulryan, apart from the rugby a good weekend was had. Good to see so many travelled to this one after the disappointment in Newcastle.
Keep an eye on the tweet machine and on clan emails about next Thursday in Murtys. Should have more info later in the week.

Well that was a tough one (especially after the first 17 mins).
Hope everyone make it back safe from Treviso/Italy!!!
The ATC strike in Italy delayed the Ryanair flight and then the disruptions at Dublin Airport didn't help either.
Gutted, but we had a great weekend over there (excluding the match of course).
Met the regular Clan travelers and some new peeps as well.

It's safe to say at least we (the fans) put in a solid shift over in Treviso this weekend ;)

Onwards now for the final push in the URC!!

There's still a quadruple left in the Hotel Garibaldi for €113. Convenient to lots of bars ...
Might have some problems with the neighbours though.

Booked the Continental through booking.com myself, took payment as expected on the day for free cancellation booking. I may have slipped through the cracks

on the continental hotel, the issues are with booking.com.
it's very suspicious that your cancelations were on the day they validate the credit cards used for bookings with free cancelations.

Interesting to note that for future reference what the Continental did, not good.


Cheers for the @Neil_m

Yes, very disappointed in the Continental's antics as I have stayed there in the past, and found it perfect for Connacht Rugby trips, i.e. perfect location, good price, comfy/clean room and a good shower.
Will not be recommending this hotel to anyone interested in traveling to Treviso.
Bad form them only cancelling a couple of days before we travel. Booked it 2 months ago as well.....

Anyway got an air bnb instead thankfully.

On another note does Celtic pub show the rugby on tv?wouldn't mind catching leinster ulster game after ours on Saturday?


Actually it was the Continental, the feckers. Obviously they oversold and screwed people that booked through Boking.com :angry:
Got another spot, decent ratings but much further outside town.

Not sure if the Celtic are showing the matches, Not a big fan of the pub TBH, didn't feel the gra when we were there last year.

Managed to find an alternative hotel, bit further out, but still within walking distance of the Town Centre.

Who fancies a pub crawl on Friday afternoon/Evening in Treviso (If you are not joining Pinky for an alternative crawl!!!)

Any pubs/bars you want to visit? Let us know (CC)


I amn't a big fan of alcohol as you well know :whistle: but I might join you for a low calorie wine shandy along the way on your pub crawl so long as we don't go anywhere like that bloody Karaoke bar in Newport

For those about Friday a bit earlier, there will be a few having a beverage or two in Padova/Padua in the early evening. Provisional plan is Birrone Padova on via Trieste at about 6. If you haven't been to Padova, it's well worth a look and there are trains to Treviso until after 11 with the possibility of a pub crawl stop in Mestre on the way (or be sensible and head straight back after dinner).
