FYI,
This shuttle bus service has been corresponding with my contacts. I suggest you consider contacting them directly. The more people we have the better. They will confirm the details regarding June 11 by Friday.

Cheers for the link and well done on finding the site, sure seems reasonable and will look into detail as the cost seems excellent and probably quicker than the trains. They may also be able to collect us from our various accomodation in Kharkiv and drop us off upon our return. I'll look into it some more / message them and see if all seems legit.

I doubt they will collect you from different locations. We may have to go to one location where they will drop us off when we get back. I think it's the best option.

My friend and I will be staying kharkiv for three days., and we will be going to donetsk for the game on the 11 June. so I am also having some difficulties in transporting to kharkiv to donetsk to kharkiv after the game. so we would like to join you guys to take the shuttle bus or mini bus on 10 or 11 of june. pls let me know where is the meeting point . my friend and i will stay in hostelpushkin which is located in Pushkinskaya Street 7, Kharkov, 61057 Ukraine. can I recommend to you to be that this could be the meeting place as well ?

Did you register for the shuttle bus at http://poehalinafootball.com.ua/poezdka/ ??? I think this is the best option. We will leave on June 11 and come back the same day. Alternatively, you can take the 6 a.m. Skoda train and try to find a ticket on the 11 p.m. "super slow" train back to Kharkov.
I like your idea of getting together at your hotel, but I am not sure if I have time to do it before June 11. Most likely, we will see each other on the bus or the train....

I'd be interested in meeting at the hotel to and going from there, hiring a mini bus and going straight to and from Donetsk. We should attempt to contact a mini bus firm via the net and then perhaps arrange things from there. That slow train sounds a gruelling experience.

My friends in Kharkiv are getting call from http://poehalinafootball.com.ua regarding June 15 and June 19 games in Donetsk. It seems to be the best option. If you haven't email them regarding a bus ride on June 11, please do so right away., so there are enough people to hire a bus.

Hey guys we need to confirm numbers or as another option we could all meet on June 10th and find a taxi / mini bus firm willing to take us. Either that or we should email the above company asap. Where is everyone staying in Kharkiv ?

Sid, I suggest you and others send your names to the web site above to confirm the shuttle bus to Donetsk. it will be better than looking for a decent mini-bus, finding a reliable driver at a reasonable price. They will charge you through the roof and may not provide good service. Otherwise, travel by Skoda train at 6 a.m. and try to get a ticket on the slow train at 11 p.m.back

I receive a email from the hostel Pushkin where i will be staying , They are providing a minibus service as well from kharkiv to donetsk 10 or 11 June, so i suggest we can take this service ,,then i would like to know who are interested to go with me and my friend so that i can confirm the pushkin hostel about their offer, Pushkin will email me back about the charge .they would like to know how many people ..Pls do post your name if you will come.
