Just booked flights for this - too good (and cheap) to turn down 24 hours on the sauce in Dublin! We're All Going On A European Tour....

£20 Return from Birmingham to Dublin for those who fancy it. :pint: :pint: :pint: :pint: :pint: :pint:

...just hope it's confirmed!  ;)

We've had friendlies announced by other clubs in the past not to come to fruition.

Still, it's 24 hours in Dublin.

Just had a look at my work diary...

Oh look...I'm in Ireland for two days...

Date now changed to 12th July on Shelbourne website.

I really fancy this. I'd better put my good boy trousers on at home and earn a pass.

Someone's going to be a bit upset about that...

The piss kettle is on the hob

Bollocks. Good job Ryanair has a 24 hour grace period for flight changes then!

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

This piss kettle is off the hob, temporarily anyway until they change the bloody date again!

Glad you could change your tickets, but don't think you were the one the original comment was aimed at.

Got (in law) relations in North County Dublin, I might look at going for a long weekend in July.

Fair enough - lost on me then!

According to the Adver we are playing another Irish team on 16th July.

We then play Reading at home on the 19th July.

I'll hopefully be heading out for this one. £48 return flights & hotel from Bristol!

What hotel Jay and what flights you found

I think he's hoping to bunk up with the Irish Messi.

Ha. Not sure how the missus would like that.


Looking at it again, it was a hostel, not hotel :/

I mentioned it to the missus and we're going to fly out Tuesday morning and fly back Wednesday night.

Im trying to sweet talk the missus into a "romantic" few nights in Dublin. One of those being at the football but she doesn't onow that yet

A remember being told about a guy from South Wales that had persuaded his wife to be to honeymoon in Australia, she was (as you could imagine) delighted with this. What he neglected to mention is that 20 of his closest mates would be there too for the Lions tour.

No idea if he's still married, but surely persuading the missus into a few nights in Dublin must be easier :D

I did something similar when England played Italy in Rome in the 6N on Valentines day a few years back.
You think you can get away with it, but it haunts you in arguments for the rest of your life

Flash, when is it ?
Might have to pop over to the Brewery for this one

12th July.....find out this week if I can make it.

Was defo for the original date.

Isnt the 12th July when it all kicks off over King Billy etc ?

£19 return from Birmingham. Result

Not in Dublin. Although feel free to try starting it

That'll be in the north.....give it a wide birth...

Change of date has fucked it for me...cannot do it.

Early start tomorrow morning.

Who else is going, and any ideas for pre-match beers? Or just drink at the club?

What time is kick off? Just says TBC on the website?..

1900 apparently

OK, thanks.

Looking forward to a couple of days in Dublin.

Pub crawl in city centre beforehand, loads of good pubs.

Will keep an eye out for town colours.

Go to the dogs instead. Wednesday evening at Shelbourne Park. Excellent!
