can admin make this a sticky please
If less people go, I'm sure ppl won't object to throwing in a few extra quit.
Ya shouldn't be left out of pocket Exile.
agreed - Exile there's no question of that being allowed happen - I'd be happy to pay extra to cover any balance outstanding.
Hopefully there'll be no such problem - should be a great and unique trip.
Will Exile hope ot gos well for you. Know you how I feel every second week. haha

I'm not so sure it is. Media info sent out says it's on the 16th. All fixtures are subject to confirmation...
We are away to Bohs on the 15th so can't see how could even be moved to the 16th.
FAI :rolleyes:

Well like I posted, they have the ref down to have the match on the 16th.
I suppose its on the 11th alright, but you never know with the FAI :o
Seeing as its on the City site as the 11th (I think), that'll do for me.
11/04/05 Portadown v Cork City
16/05/05 Cork City v Portadown
Are ye getting confused here folks?

Give me some credit :rolleyes:
According to the info sent out by the FAI the away fixture is the 16th of April and the home fixture is the 16th of May. Still haven't got it confirmed by anyone other than the FAI...

Now that we've filled the bus (nice one exile) can I tempt people to a pre-bus bevvie (just the one, I don't fancy waiting for pit stops :p ) somewhere in the Nassau Street region around 2pm
Suggestions?

Lads, Im looking for an excuse to get out of the lab early, any ideas? Im going to be new and it might as well be a new job (except not getting paid:( ) but I dont get any time off for holidays or anything like that.
Should I:
a) Come clean and ask for a half day.
b) Arrange a trip for the 'dentist'
c) Pull a sickie
d)?????
I need help! :( Has anyone had any similar experiences?

Have you started in the lab yet?
If not started yet say you have pre-arrange meeting/function
/whatever on the day....also say you can survive with just the half day off...will make it seem you doing them a favour...?

Yeah, I agree with Pete.
Say you need the day off for a pre-arranged function, then if they 'hum and hah' do them a great favour by telling them you will swing things around and try and get in for a few hours in the morning.
City match and brownie points!!

Hope there won't be trouble up there. Last night after they scored against Shels, according to a fan who's a friend of mine, they made 'gestures' of a bigoted nature.

Ah sure we all break into "All you need is Love" from the beatles if they start any sectarian sing songs.
Not that we'll be heard

I heard of bigoted words and chants, but what is a bigoted gesture?:confused:
The Ports were given a Garda escort last night because Longford were given one to Glentoran. I was at the game. There was no sign of any trouble but there were chants from both sets of supporters...the same you'd get at any game.
I would think the bus will be escorted to the ground, we'll be expected to stay there, be loaded up afterwards and sent on out merry way with all three points.

I can confirm that - 2 police bikes blocked off the crossroad at collins avenue and 2 police jeeps escorted the buses down grace park rd into Tolka park away from the home fans.There was a lot of additional security and looked like guards were well on top.Fans had to buy tickets away from the ground to avoid congestion at the turnstiles -
We'll have the same goin to Ports I'd imagine,just waitin to hear back from the PSNI about it.

Thanks guys.
No I havent started in the lab yet (I'll be in RCSI which I would guess is pretty work intensive but handy for the bus).
What can I say the function is? A Christening or something? I cant exactly say that Im rushing off to a christening with a City top on. I'll need to leave at 2:45, what can I go to that will last longer than 2:30 hours? I think that I need something better than the dentest. :(
How about:
Dentest appointment at 3:20 near St James's where I live,
I'll need 30 min to get there on time so I'll have to be gone by 2:50 at the very very latest (Im only 2 min away from the Kilkenny shop).
Wont be out of the dentest by 4 when you consider delays and all that.
Couldnt possibly be back before 4:30.
Is it worth coming in for one hour? So I'll have to take the afternoon off
Unfortunatly, I dont think that they will have a problem in saying that I can just stay in the lab til 8 to make up for lost time! :(
Try asking for the full halfday, have the "i could come in til 2.45..." in reserve if needed?

Why not just throw a sicky?! Ring up on the morning of the game and say you've had hot sweats, been up all night, you're feeling very weak and the room spins every time you try to get up. They can't say a thing then, can they? Mind you, if you do say that and they're reading this forum....you're shagged! :D

Dont know what the guys on about re the bigoted gestures :confused:
There wasn't a hint of any trouble or bigotry at the game!
Regurgitating some hearsay from a 'mate' is never a good idea. Ask the people who were there & they'll tell you they saw a great game, played in the right spirit & two sets of fans backing their teams with cheering & singing.
IMO the atmosphere was great....me throats shredded :D
Myself & a group of mates made a night of it, went down on the train & stayed overnight. We had a great reception from everyone we met & I'm looking forward to the trip to Cork now more than ever!
We're here for a good time, not a long time, & life's too short for all that bull****. We'll be coming to Cork looking for the drink & the craic thats all.......
Oh & the 3 points of course! :p

Yes there was, you could hear it on tv! It went along the lines...
"Champions League? You're having a laugh!" :p I was nearly joining in at home :D
A sickie might be the answer. I just met the boss today and got a stack of reading to do. I'll see how the first week goes, if Im still doing reading then I can doss off easily enough, otherwise I'll have to develop a fever for a while.
And no, they are not reading this! :D

Personally I can't wait for this game. Fair play to ya Morpheus - looks like you got the right attitude.
Oh and by the way if you thought the atmosphere was good in that graveyard they call Tolka Park wait until you hit The Cross!!! ;)
Best atmosphere in Ireland - North or South.
Will many of ye travel or will the journey put yere fans off?
And no, they are not reading this! :D
