Rico Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) Few questions Is it easy to get standing tickets on the day? How much did it cost you for the weekend in Wroclaw? Could I have responses off people who DIY made there way there and possibly who drive there. And who did use a tour company, how much was it and what company you travel with? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Re tickets, you can order them in advance and pick them up on the day - that was what we did last year. The stadium is all seated (benched in the main) but whether people sit down depends on how crazy the section you are in is). I'll give you an example of a weekend I had in Wroclaw in October (for the GP last year we went to Warsaw first and spent a day there then got the train down). Flew WizzAir from Luton on Friday morning to Katowice. Train from Katowice to Wroclaw around 3 hours. Cost of train £8 single first class. Cost of flight free, only tax and charges. Hotel in Wroclaw, £40 per room per night in Mercure Panorama, stayed 2 nights. Probably about 300 yards from main square in town and easy reach of all amenities. Right next to the hotel are tram stops taking you all over the city. So total cost for the weekend was (excluding expenses) around £65 for flight and hotel, £16 for train, say £10 return for bus to Katowice from Airport - I make that £91. Beer is generally around 6zl for 500ml (£1), cigarettes, just over 6zl (£1.05), food to eat out is excellently priced and you can eat very well for under £10 a head including drinks. I was lucky with the Wizzair flights that I got being so cheap, but certainly the Ryanair flights are excellently priced and fly direct into Wroclaw, so no need for the train from Katowice. I'm booked up at the total cost of £35 return from Stansted. It'll be interesting to see what price the travel companies come up with for this trip as it really can be done so cheaply (as can most of the GPs).

Rob B Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Yep we've always sorted our own trips for about the last 5 years, never costs us more than £100 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Glad to hear that Rob. There was me thinking I was enjoying these cheap trips all by myself (cue song - Don't wanna be all by myself etc etc) Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-D Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Got a good deal on the Holiday Inn by the railway station for the GP last year and must say very impressed. It was the best hotel breakfast i have ever had, which is saying something. The Radission seemed nice too and had a very nice bar area. If you book direct with them, they guarantee to be the cheapest. If i go this year will probably stay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZKZ Kitten Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 It`s a great fun to read about all these hotels in Wrocław As i know Wrocław very well and have to say it`s the one of most beautiful cities in Poland (for me personally) just after the Krakow (Cracow). P.S. Isnt the Ibis Hotel just next to Olympic Stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BilaHora Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) All Wrocław's Olympic Stadium (stadion Olimpijski) is probably the only Olympic Stadium to stage the home internationals of two different countries (football). In 1928, when the stadium was opened, with the name of "Leerbeutel" (which, somewhat strangely, means "empty sack") , Wrocław was part of Germany (and known as Breslau). When Berlin was awarded the Olympics in 1936, Wrocław (Breslau) changed the stadium's name to Olympic Stadium in the hope of being allocated some of the events (Hitler dashed their hopes). However, the German national team did play international matches at the stadium, including a 1935 match against Poland. After World War II, Wrocław became part of Poland and has hosted many of Poland's international matches.

If i go this year will probably stay there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just booked up at the Radisson - very reasonable 80 euros for the room per night including brekko. Stayed there last year as well - very nice hotel. Will we be seeing you there this year J-D ?? Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Stayed there last year. This year we're staying at the HP Park Plaza, next to the river, very nice indeed but a bit further to walk to the square. 405 zloty / night, less 20% discount, for a "superior double room" inc breakfast. You can't beat Poland for value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanne Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Thanks for the info witches forever. I'm going on the Friday to the Monday and the times have changed also. Wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me. Have you seen the price now to Wroclaw, I paid £50 and now its £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Got an e-mail through from Ryanair today confirming the flight change and asking for my acceptance. Everyone else affected will get a similar e-mail, then no-one can say they didn't know. I had a similar situation last year with a flight from Berlin. HenryW - take this as me advising you that your stopover in Stansted has been reduced by a few minutes. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi, I see quite a few fans from GB are planning to soak in the action at Wroclaw. I'm just curious to know how many ppl r planning to travel to Leszno the next day for Ekstraliga?? Leszno is only about 80-90km north of Wroclaw and the meeting it self should be a dandy as Leszno takes on their bigges rival, Zielona Góra. Would be nice to see an international flavour at polish league meeting tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi Tommy The Leszno v Zielona Gora match is certainly part of our plans. Really looking forward to that as I've been told the atmosphere is special at this particular derby. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Good to hear...when these teams meet u can cut the tension with a knife and it should be no different this time! Nothing like a derby on a hot summer day after downing a few pints ...and the offensive style of N.Pedersen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witches forever Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'm also planning to go to thie meeting. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
