How far is that from the Stade de France?

[tiktok]

How far is that from the Stade de France?

Have a look at the Paris Metro Map (http://www.paris.org/Metro/gifs/metro01.map.jpg) Place the Clichy is on the No.2 line, central, North of the Seine, Stade the France is on the No.12 Line, Central and further North on the map.

About eight Metro stops with one changeover, I think.

[petef]

Anyone get their tickets from the FAI in the post yet? Think 25th was the deadline for the acceptance email, so maybe next week I'm thinking.

*Edit* Just spotted on the website :

Tickets will be issued in the week commencing 27th September.

[Dotsy]

Anyone going to the U21 game in Troyes on the Friday night?. How are you getting there from Paris?

[irwinsalegend]

dotsy

Have a look about. U21 match has been mentioned in his thread or another somewhere. Train seems to be the best option. 1hr 30 mins.

pesonally i'll be in either The Hideout for a while then Corcorans then god knows where on Friday night. i think it's a cert that Friday is going to be the BIG night given the match is at 9pm on Sat.

[OMP Player]

Good News Lads,

FAI have debited credit cards this morning for the tickets so hopefully they will be sent out today or tomorrow. Can't wait now! It'll be serious :D

[Cosmo]

was down in the fai office earlier - they'll be sending them out FROM tomorrow - so i presume that means they wont ALL be sent out tomorrow :mad:

[Brenny]

They haven`t taken any money out of my account yet...I`m starting to sh1t meself now! :confused:

Have they debited everyone`s cards yet or are there a few out there in the same boat as myself???

[Fr. Murphy]

I got my tickets from the FAI this morn. I dont know if it has been said already but on my tickets we're in Block Z.

[Peadar]

my tickets we're in Block Z.

That would be right Fr.
The FAI tickets were supposed to be in the South Stand behind the goal.

[Peadar]

Just goes to show the level of interest in this game.
It's phenonmenal!

[Peadar]

or i could just be talking through my hole

I suggest you start a new thread and then watch the "Views" counter. It wont change no matter how many times you look at it.

DUH! When other people look at it! :rolleyes:

[Fr. Murphy]

Get a room you two

[Rover 2 U]

I have just lined up about ten more people with bags of cans for the base of the tower on Saturday! Should be some craic!

Would they be fellow Hoopers by any chance?! :D

KOH

[ptegan]

Remember that you're only meeting people under one of the legs of the tower as opposed to drinking there. As soon as the cans come out so will the police so you'll have to stay thirsty until everyone turns up :)

[IsMiseSean]

Anyone staying in
Hotel de L'Ouest
3 rue du rocher
75008

I'm staying there with some friends, anyone know if its good?

So ptegan what if we head way down that grassy area in front of the tower & set up base there...any problem with knocking back a few cans there?

[ptegan]

Yep sounds fine. I'll drop around Sat and take a few snaps to show people where to go :)

Anyone flyin out ryanair wednesday night?

[OMP Player]

Anybody flying out of Belfast at 1300H on the Saturday?

[DonegalDub]

Is anyone flying Ryanair from Glasgow Prestwick on Friday 15.00ish flight? Sounds like people coming from all directions. Myself flying Carrickfin (Donegal) via Glasgow to Paris Beavais. Any other mad journeys out there?

[Babysis]

Anyone trying to get over on a budget could check Eurolines coaches. The over night coach on Friday night gets in to Paris on Sat Morning,leaving on Sunday, about £50 return. Its a tough journey but its cheap.
http://www.nationalexpress.com/eurolines_microsite/index.cfm

It might be worth checking Venere for Hotels. We have booked with them.
http://www.venere.com/en/reservation/france/ile-de-france/paris/hotels/5285/?ref=22718&skip=0&rate=2&view=map

We are going on Eurostar. Cheapest journey is to go on Sat morning and leaving on the 20.43 on sun evening = £104 return.http://www.eurostar.com/dynamic/_SvBoEsPlusTravelCriteriaTerm?_TMS=1096633762077&_DLG=SvBoEsPlusTravelCriteriaTerm&_LANG=UK&_AGENCY=ESTAR

[Breener]

:D :D :D

[Brenny]

Meself and the missus flying in with Ryanair from Sweden....don`t think she`s too chuffed about me bringing her to the game. :D
She thought I booked us a romantic weekend!

[DTS]

Has anyone else been double charged for the tickets on their visa ?
Has happened to myself and my sister-in-law so i suggest ye check your bank details !!
FAI look to be really turning the corner as regards a professional approach, NOT ! rang them up and didn't even get an apology, just a case of "Oh yeah we had problems there the other day !!".

Anyone know if the polo shirts with new logo are out anywhere in the country ?
I thought they might bring these out the same time as the jerseys ??
As for the online shop becoming available........thats another days work !

[fbtn]

Count three more for the 'Tear in the Tower'!

Two of us flying Belfast to Luton on Thursday, picking up another lad in London and getting train/ferry on Friday morning £64 return London-Paris. Back to London on Sunday and flying back into Belfast on Monday evening.

Anyone else getting ferry from Dover??

I'll be on the lookout for eLeague jersey's - think quite a few Harps fans are up for the tower pish-up.

See yis there :)

[munsterskip]

:D :D :D

Sounds like a plan Breener........I'll be there with my carry out anyway...
That green area in front of the tower could take a few thousand Irish...
Imagine a big sing song there before the match...the tourists won't know what's goin on!

Do we have a time for kick off at the tower so? As we will all have cans, we should all buy 1 can of Guinness. Anytime someone stops to take a photo, remove preferred drink from hand, replace with said can of Guinness for photo. Would make some savage photos, couple of thousand Irish panned in front of tower, kitted with cans of porter.

[sikes]

how strict are they about names on train tickets from london - paris
