Hi Everyone,

For those booked onto the 3 buses going to Tripoli i have the following information:

Departure Date: Thursday 2nd August (Matchday)
Departure Time: 1.00pm (Please if possible be there for 12.30pm, so as I can mark you down as arrived)
Departure Location: Omonia Square, Central Athens

Departure back to Athens: Scheduled for 10.55pm Local Time (This will possibly change with the possibility of later KO Time, Extra Time & Penalties)

Bus Time should roughly be around 2 Hrs 30 Mins

Food & Drink can be consumed on the buses (Non - Alcoholic)

Payment:
Full Payment will be £21.66pp, of which I will ask this to be passed over to my Bank Account on or before Friday 20th July (PM me for full Bank Account Details if needed)

I will be contacting everyone direct over the coming days & weeks to clarify which buses they will be on to avoid confusion once in Athens

If anyone has any further questions please PM me & I shall do my best to help you out

Cheers SPH,

Superb Scott. Saved me £130 on a hotel and a lengthy bus journey at £20 the next day. :aok:

For anyone in Athens early on the Thursday we’re going to the Athens sports bar (730am license) before we head to get the bus at Omonia square. The owners cousin is a hibs fan

Everyone on the 3 buses has now been contacted about the full payment amount & which bus they shall be on

If you can all take a note of the OP as we don't want anyone missing the bus or getting lost in Athens trying to find the pickup spot.

Im sure we shall all be meeting up at a boozer beforehand anyway to enjoy a few light refreshments in what will no doubt be a hot Athens day !!

There’s another 5 of us wanting to add on. Is there any possibility of another bus being organised?

It’s brilliant you’re doing it. Good on you. Hopefully everyone realises the effort and makes sure they get the money in/ turn up! :)

By any chance do you know if a 4th bus would be available (i.e. with someone else organising)

In terms of a fourth bus, I don't know if this will be arranged by someone else I know there has been chat about it but nothing concrete. What I would suggest is possibly looking at Amphitrion Group. Based in Athens conveniently 5mins away from Omonia Square. Only reason I didn't book originally with them is due to lack of Wheelchair Access & Toilet on board. Were very reasonable though and might be worth a shout

Cheers,
Scott

I ended up booking with Amphitrion in the end, although the bus is full as well.

Hi TTHB,

Unfortunately not at the moment, we have a long standby list of which the 2 you have requested are no's 27 & 28 on it

I would suggest getting in touch with Amphitrion with a request for a bus, there has already been one booked through them, they are very reasonable from what i can remember from the quote they gave me

Scott/Anyone else is there a plan for meeting up on the day of the game for a spot of Brunch.

Disclaimer: by "brunch" I mean pints of the local beer.
