Mariners v Queensland Minor Semi Finals - Travel and Accommodation thread

[Yogi]

Hey guys

Shame you couldnt hold Adelaide to a draw...people up here are quite confident on beating Melbourne over 2 legs...personally I'm not.

Central v QLD will be a cracker of a tie...plenty of goals and end to end stuff is great for the league.

Since I'm coming down for the first leg, where is the best place to get accomodation down there?? And how to get to Central would be great too!

 

[fedelta]

for a start please refrain from calling it central

google.com is always a good place to start

Can't help you with the accommodation, except to say google 'Formule1 Gosford' now, and see if they have any rooms left (I doubt).

Getting down here - depends on how deep your pockets - drive, or fly (check out cheap airline deals). Easy to get to Gosford from Sydney/Kingsford Smith - bus to Central Railway station, train to Gosford. From Newcastle/Williamstown I will leave it to those who've done it.  (I suspect bus to Newcastle and train down)

You can get a train from the Airport to Central but it is stupidly expensive and if theres 3 or 4 of you, a cab is actually cheaper.

Given that NSW railways are completely shit, I would allow plenty of time too

The person was referring to the Central Coast as 'Central'. That's fine, we'll now call them 'Queens'.

To get to Central Coast, drive down the east coast of australia or fly to sydney and get a train from sydney's central station to gosford.

If there's no accom around Blue Tongue you can always just hit up the Leaguesy (in NSW, that's short for Leagues) after the game, then crash out across the road in this big ass park/oval kind of area. Bring sleeping bag.

Those $39 Jetstar from Newy (if you're up for departing 6:20am and getting back on Sat evening) are still up for grabs, so no excuses.

Will still need to work part of Friday so getting JQ486 5:20pm up and JQ483 back at 11:30am Sat. Anybody on these flights? I'll be wearing my supporter gear on the plane.

Staying with my sister in Brissy, who with my nephew (OK, Roar fans) are included on a most wondrously located Cat 1 family ticket - see  http://marinators.net/forum/index.php?topic=3047.new#new Reply #29

What did you want Yogi, an offer of a limo and board and lodgings? You've been given some good advice - now it is up to you. In addition, you have the internet - use it.

Tip, other than Formule1 try Best Western (more pricey). There are only a few motels in Gosford. Otherwise stay elsewhere and use the train.  Try 'City Rail'.

Once you've done that and have any detailed follow up questions, ask again.
