OK..here it all is. Below are the plans and information about the Stockholm trip next weekend.
Attendees : Caz/Eoin/Jakey/Dec/Stephen/Keith/Adrian/Victor/Mia/Niall
Friday 23rd
Leaving Gothenburg no later than 18:00.
We'll meet outside the Dubliners from 17.30 onwards.
We will be in 2 cars (the minibus is a 9 seater and Dec 's car).
If people with valid licenses can go in each car, it'll give the drivers a break on the way . We will go straight to the hostel. Expected ETA between 23:00-24:00. Hostels name is
- Hostels By Nordic
Drottninggatan 83
11160 Stockholm
www.hostelsbynordic.se
If someone could do a map search from Gothenburg to hostel & hostel to Ostermalms IP, it would be great.
Saturday 24th
Saturday morning, we will leave from the hostel and go straight to the pitch to be there for round 11.30 to get settled and do a proper warm up. Match kicks off at 12:30 amid all the razzmatazz!!!
The match itself is 2 x 30 min halves, everybody will get a game (ladies included) and some of the Stockholm lads will be playing with us.
Thereafter, shower and change and id say drop the stuff back to the hostel and then re convene in the Dubliners for the match meal. Whatever happens after that is everyone 's business. Please make sure that when ye go your separate ways from the hostel, get that days key code as it changes everyday.
Sunday 25th
Check out is 12pm so I hope to be on the road by 1pm.
Things to remember :
- as with all hostels, bring a sleeping bag/pillow/padlock.Check out the website yourself as per facilities they have
- artificial turf so bring runners and blades/moulds if you have them
Accommodation and costs
The following has been booked.
Dorm with 6 and dorm with 4 people. They know we have 2 females staying. It was next to impossible to find rooms so unfortunately the weekend rate is a bit steep here. It works out at 300 SEK per night/600 sek for both nights. The club will give money towards this but it wont be much (maybe 100 sek per person). Because we are going up on Friday and the fact it is central Stockholm, it is a bit expensive. I just want to be upfront with the costs so people know and can plan. I have already paid the deposit to secure the accommodation and the booking ref is William Finn.
The minibus costs 1950 SEK but this will be covered by funds from the club. However, to cover petrol costs and help Dec out with the costs of his car, it would be great if everyone could give 100 sek (or more if they want) to cover petrol for both cars. Just to make it all good and people are not left out of pocket, this will have to be collected before we leave. It prevents hassle later.
The meal is being provided for us and I'm sure Stockholm will look after us throughout the night.
Finally, if you change your mind and stay with someone/alternative accommodation in Stockholm, tell me by latest next Tuesday. Do not tell me on the day of the match. If so, you will have to be charged the price of your accommodation, its only fair.

Thanks to all again. I know its tough having to spend money on trips like these but this is why we need to have more fund-raising to ease the burden on the pockets!!
Here's to a great weekend as I know we will have
