Europa League Cup Final Dublin

[Mark Woodhead]

The defeats of Man City, Liverpool & Rangers (don't mean to upset anybody) should lead to a good day at Dublin Airport on Wednesday 18th May 2011. There are now three portuguese, two dutch, two russian and one spanish side in the quarter finals.

The defeats of Man City, Liverpool & Rangers (don't mean to upset anybody) should lead to a good day at Dublin Airport on Wednesday 18th May 2011. There are now three portuguese, two dutch, two russian and one spanish side in the quarter finals.

I'm hoping for both Russian teams to progress to the final, really hoping to see some Russian metal in Dublin So personally I'm going for FC Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Kyiv. I'd also maybe settle for Braga (Portuguese) in the final. 
 
So far in the first round of quater finals, FC Spartak Moscow are losing 2-0 and Dynamo Kyiv are drawing 1-1.

[Merlin]

After the first leg the state of play is:
Benfica 4 - 1 PSV Eindhoven
Dynamo Kiev 1 - 1 Braga
FC Porto 5 - 1 Spartak Moscow
Villarreal 5 - 1 FC Twente

Spanish and Portugese in the driving seat, so far.

Spartak are going to need a miracle to turn their match around.

Kinda like Spurs

Hahaha rotten! Still hope for Dynamo Kiev at least    I suppose any team that gets through will bring some decent aircraft to Dublin on the 18th. Air Europa and Spanair would cover the majority of Spanish flight's. Luzair and TAP might do the majority of the Portuguese teams flights, I can't think of any other Portuguese airlines...

Ok, down to the Semi Final's now, 1st leg playing on the 28th April.
 
Benfica (POR) - Braga (POR)
 
Porto (POR) - Villreal (SPA)
 
So we'll be seeing at least one Portuguese team in the final. Last year's final was played in Hamburg between Athletico Madrid and Fulham which meant a lot of interesting movements at Hamburg including flights from Jet2, Thomson, Europe Air Post, Iberia A340, Pullmantur 2x 747's, Iberworld A330, Mint 757, and a tonne of other stuff, so we migth get lucky this year with some large aircraft

As you can see, most of them excite me. I can imagine there will be a good few business jets in as well. Shame there's only 2 747's but better than none, I'm still hoping for an Air Pullmantur 747

So for anyone that's going down to Dublin on the 18th, how you getting there? I'm hoping to get the 5:30am bus from Banbridge.

Driving.

Haven't decided yet whether to drive down the night before and stay over.

Probably getting the 4 or 5am bus myself down then hopefully catching the blue carpark bus across to the opposite side, depending which runways in use (hopefully RWY 10). I'd rather be there early and ready to photograph at around 7.30ish 

[Dave]

I have seen this floating around in a few places;
 
"Dublin Airport expects to handle in the region of 100 extra charter flights specific to the UEFA travelling fans, whom number in the region of 25,000 passengers.
There will not be any provisions made for visiting plane spotters. The outer perimeter road will be used extensively during the event to transport travelling supporters to and from their bus transport in the Blue car park, therefore we would not encourage increased activity from cars stopping to view aircraft."

[casper]

Moral of the story - get there early

[Hammerhead]

Moral of the story - get there early

Will I put a few reserved signs up?  Just in case??   

[Merlin]

Will I put a few reserved signs up?  Just in case??   

Definitely 

In fact just tape off a whole area and mark it 'Reserved' 

[Dave]

If it's going to be RWY 28 in use as the winds are currently suggesting (a bit early to be 100% accurate though), then things could become quite awkward. I can imagine a fair few photographers turning up and with the limiting parking spaces and small spotting area, it could be quite packed.
 
Mind you it might be worth venturing up half way along the runway to the entrance of the Blue carpark, that way you get both aircraft rotating on departures as wel las aircraft braking to a stop during landing.
 
I'm still hoping for RWY 10 to be in use though. 

[Paultojo]

Might park in the blue 6.50 euro for the day

[Merlin]

Might park in the blue 6.50 euro for the day

Thinking of doing that as well.

Do you need to pre-book or can you just turn up and park?

[kingsavo]

I parked in the Red for madrid merlin. It was 7.50 but only cos I prebooked it. Think it's an extra 20% or something to park there on the day just.

[Dave]

Just bear in mind that the blue car park will be used as the gathering point for all the fans before being transported onwards to the Aviva Stadium.

[Hammerhead]

also you will have to go to the airport buildings to pay the ticket to get your car out...

[Angry Turnip]

I think that statemant re spotters from Dublin Airport Authority is a bit ignorant.
There maybe some folk that just abandon ship where ever the notion takes them,usually its joe public that does that and  not enthusiasts.
I find most folk down at Dublin are sensible and don`t cause any problems at all.
 
 

[Hammerhead]

The parking plan for the aircraft looks tight... 

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=158500&d=1305136824

[Dave]

   Is that actually the parking plan for the day? Crikey!
