Do you have to prepay without a refund option? - if so its a gamble as could be Fri/Sat or Sunday.

Just FYI - I booked Premier Inn in Exter - beside the train station for £50 per room per night (twin rooms) on 48 hour cancellation i.e. not prepaid. When I checked that beat the best Jurys rate and is closer to the centre - 10 mins walk in.

As an aside - I am organising for 10 people and I have heard a number of people saying they were going. I get the feeling this could be well attended. Givent he capacity is 10k, would it be worthwhile letting the branch know that a decent number are thinking of going in order to take up a decent amount of allocation

It didnt tell me that all it said was it was a 25% off sale http://email.jurysinns.com/view.aspx?ke ... 5nqvjasacd The doc is right if they got the Premier inn for £50 I booked Jurys in July and got it for £65 for a triple room (single and double) with the cancellation policy

@ the doc is jurys far out? I was told by someone that had stayed in Exeter before it was in the city centre? also I think you could be right on the ticket front I will have 8-12 lads going, I think Exeter being a new destination most people are interested

Premier In is now £53 per night, which is okay. The Jury's Inn is coming up with a price of 70+ today, and its prepay.

Took a punt on the game being on Saturday or Sunday, got evening Ryanair flight to Bristol for 30 euros on the friday. Probably worth a shot as this game could decide the group :?: If so saturday afternoon would be the TV slot.

My 10 will be on the exact same. In to Bristol Fri morning - the thinking is that it doesn't matter what time the game is on.

Was thinking of looking in to getting a bus organised one way to Exeter - the train is £12 but I reckon we could get a bus for less and save the hassle of getting in to Bristol train station - If you are on teh morning flight to Bristol let me know if you have an interest

I believe they are both central - but on slightly different sides of the town. One by the bus and the other by the train station. Walking distance to most places

Well - the fares aren't out for the specific day yet - but I had looked at a random Friday and got £12. If I look now at the Friday prior I see £24. I assume by next week we will see that Friday and can get the exact fares then.

Edit - thetrainline.com is usually best for UK train fares

No. http://www.redspottedhanky.com/ do not charge a Credit/Debit Card fee and are far better than the rip off merchants at thetrainline.com. I wouldn't recommend trainline to anyone.

Neither do a lot of the train companies if you book direct.

Many people here would not know which Train Companies operate in which parts of the UK. You can sometimes find that, for example, Arriva Trains Wales will offer better fares from Holyhead to London Euston than Virgin West Coast. The industry's fare expert has recommended redspottedhanky over many of the Train Company's site's, in offering the best value fares. He has been commentating on UK Rail fares for over 35 years and I would trust him over anyone else. See my post here:- http://forum.leinsterfans.com/viewtopic ... 12&t=21795

I look up the trains on trainline, find out from there who is operating the service of the train you want then go to their website and book (without any debit/credit card charges).
