Last year you couldn't get a bus back from the portemonense game, from what i understand the 3rd game is near Faro, a good half hours drive from Albufiera, so we really need to get thinking about travel for this one, for anyone planning on going.

Me and my mate if it is the Saturday and happy to share cab if required.

Perhaps we can see if a mini-bus taxi when out there ?

Yeah im up for that, just had a look on the map and Olhao is the other side of Faro, so might get the train there and mini bus/taxi back. It is the Saturday.

Well the more there is the cheaper it will probably work out, but we need to find a bar to meet up in when were out there so we can sort things out, if nobody can suggest any i'll see if i can find any from last years photos that will be easy for everyone to find.

Did not realise there is a train station so happy to get train there and back via a cab or someway but the ground near the stadium ?

I wasn't aware of a station either, but then i wasn't looking for one last year, i was just going by what KNC said earlier on the thread.

Have asked on the club thread if they can advise details on how to get to the grounds

The ground in Olhao is right next to the station. From what I've worked out, you can get a train from Albuferia to Faro, change, then the train to Olhao. In all, about 45 mins. Im sure we can organise taxis back.

Ok i would suggest the easiest place to meet up would be at the Bank Bar, which is on the corner of Bar Street and the Square, so should be nice and easy to find, i haven't got a picture of it unfortunately and even after googling it couldn't find one, but it is still there :thumbsup:

I will be in Albufeira from Sunday, but i will leave it up to you guys to agree a time to meet up.

3 of us hiring a car to get to Olhao as the train station is quite a way from Albufeira. One of us doesn't drink so no problem with driving. Car hire will probably be cheaper than a taxi.

Yeah, Albufeira station is about 3 mls outside the town. Cheap taxi to station. Olhenense stadium is about a ten min walk from the station. Might be a few bars on the way.....you never know.
