3 nights in Thalasia then the bus up to Alicante after the match and a couple of nights there.
Long shot, but if any exiles are on my outbound flight or arriving into RMU at a similar time and want to share transport costs, let me know. I haven't booked anything yet but the route doesn't appear to be served by public transport, looks like the going rate for a transfer is around €50.

I think it is served by public transport but in a very convoluted way. You can get a bus from the airport into Murcia City. From there, you have the choice of bus or train to Alicante and from there, there is a bus to Torrevieja from whence there is a bus to San Pedro del Pinatar. It's a ball ache for sure but it is doable.

To be honest I’d probably attempt that if my flight arrived a bit earlier, but arriving in the evening I’ll probably opt for the quicker but more expensive option!

Are you getting that long bus up to alicante from pinataar? Takes a couple of hours

Are you getting that long bus up to alicante from pinataar? Takes a couple of hours I am. I've also got several 10 hour round Megabus trips under my belt for home matches, so I'm not in the least bit daunted by 2 hours trundling up the Costa Blanca!

It's probably worth checking if Alsa have an option. They're Spain's equivalent of National Express. Here in the train barren South, they are often the only option of getting from A to B if you don't have a car. For example, getting from Almeria to Murcia, you can either go on the train via Madrid or use the Alsa bus. The high speed line connecting the two cities is currently under construction some 7 years after it should have opened!!! www.alsa.esThere is of course, always the taxi option.

Nothing going my way on Alsa (I had a look), so it appears the taxi option is the only option!

I may investigate the possibility of leaving my stuff somewhere at the ground so I don't have to retrieve it from Thalasia (I shave around 10 minutes off the walk that way).

Last year they were a bit militant about kicking everyone out as soon as the game finished. No drinks, no using the toilet or anything unless you were a club official. Hopefully a bit more relaxed this year but wouldn’t be surprised if we were out on our ear again. Makes getting a taxi a b*stard too. Would be much easier if we could stop at the ground for a couple of hours and leave gradually.

Just seen that Sunderland play there on the same day, not sure what time but they play 2 games there on the 19th and 21st, the pubs are going to be buzzing.

I saw on the Sunderland twitter announcement post a few pubs were running coaches. Also their fans aren't happy that they were told to book hotels in benidorm and alicante to not play in either of them
