Here's a little guide to Belfast for away supporters crossing the water to come to Fortress Ravenhill, and visit our home city of Belfast. If any one wants to add anything please feel free...

Good guide.

I am half thinking of travelling up for the Munster game on Friday night. Where is the best place to stay? I would probably book in and get a bus to the ground?

it depends on your budget skyhawk. There are a few numbers for hotels etc in the guide. The chain hotels tend to give a consistent standard wherever you are so Jury's, Holiday inn, Days inn etc are pretty much what you'd expect.

Madison's is right in the thick of the action and is becoming a regular spot for wacthing the away games - probably a good bet. If you want a B&B it's difficult for us to advise as the locals never use them....

pm me if you have any specific questions....

Buses aren't the handiest for getting to Ravers. Joe baxi is a better bet.
Also the game is now all-ticket so you'll need to be sorted on that end.

Enjoy the trip if you do come!!

Skyhawk - Taralodge is listed as B&B but is really nice place and quite cheap - handy for ravers and madisons on saturday :D

The Taphouse bar (formerly the fly) on Lower Crescent will be showing all the Heineken Cup games and is only round the corner from Madisons aswell.

Fermain on reading the above I think the description of Ravenhill may need revision
