draw versus carmarthen wales

[Martinho II]

folks we are heading to wales!

[Pauro 76]

is it 1st leg Flancare, 2nd leg Wales? if so, no trip to Wales for me... :(

[fosterdollar]

Buckfast Abbey anyone?

[pineapple stu]

Great draw - even better than Vaduz! ;)

Should be able to get a win and a draw from that...?

[Macy]

Buckfast Abbey anyone?
Carmarthen play their home games in Devon? :confused:

Worst way round for me, very píssed off....

[Martinho II]

the first leg is in flancare i believe!

[fosterdollar]

Carmarthen play their home games in Devon? :confused:



So, no then. What you mean worst way round?

[Maz]

Well was hoping for Estonia but will make do, nice to be at home 1st

[Longfordian]

I know our officials were praying for that draw, so they'll be delighted over there. Should be a good travelling support going both ways too.

[Macy]

So, no then. What you mean worst way round?
Away first no problems, Away second makes it dodgy to get there... I'm giving a training course that week for a system that's launching the next week :eek:

[Pauro 76]

Parc Waun Dew / Richmond Park
we have a great record at Richmond Park!

Manager Mark Jones and Vice Chairman Alun Williams will travel to Switzerland on Thursday ahead of the club's historic participation in Friday's (24.07.05) UEFA Cup draw.

The Richmond Park boss is relishing the challenge and told 'Y Dre ar Y We',"It's just amazing to be involved. Our aim will be to be the first Welsh team to get through the first round draw and get an even bigger side like Dundee, Mainz or Genk or in the second.

"Personally I would like to draw an Irish side. I think we would stand an excellent chance of getting into the next round and without the burden of having to travel too far."

we'll see about that one so... ;)

Carmarthen section on Welsh-Premier.com - quality site (http://www.welsh-premier.com/sa_stadium.php?cid=7) on Welsh soccer in general... Record attendance only 911, season begins in August... Have to be looking to get through really...

Edit - only qualified through the Cup (though as runner-up) too after finishing sixth in the league. Club like that's gotta be rubbish! ;)

[Pauro 76]

Carmarthen play their home games in Devon? :confused:

Worst way round for me, very píssed off....

I cant make Wales either. 28th working in Twickenham as a temp, cant afford to turn it down especially as things are quiet and absolutely no chance of getting back in time either but will be more than happy if we get through, from a supporters point of view, its a great draw.

[Macy]

I'd expect to get through....

Got provisional permission to have that day off, so it'll be Wednesday night to Friday at most for me :o

[Martinho II]

where in north wales is carmarten?

[Pauro 76]

Great thing though its my last day as a temp there, so might just get away with the hangover whatever happens. Sickened im not there though but you will hopefully see me for the home leg....

[pineapple stu]

In south North Wales (http://www.welsh-premier.com/info.php) ;)

[Martinho II]

Wales is one country that hosts thousands of different holidays. You could find yourself in a National Park or at a World Heritage Site. You could be admiring the golden sands of a Blue Flag beach, or a Premier Garden. When you holiday in Wales you'll learn the more you explore the more you'll discover.

1 Anglesey
2 The North Wales Coastal Resorts
3 The North Wales Borderlands
4 Snowdonia Mountains and Coast
5 Mid Wales
6 Ceredigion
7 Pembrokeshire
8. Carmarthenshire
9 Swansea Bay, Mumbles, Gower and the Vale of Neath
10 Valleys of South Wales
11 The Glamorgan Heritage Coast & Countryside
12 Wye Valley and the Vale of Usk
13 Cardiff

according to the map it is near pembroke in wales so if you are getting the ferry you are nearly better off getting the rosslare pembroke ferry.

[Macy]

Only 20 mins from Fishguard according to reports I'm hearing...

[pete]

This is just chance to make 2ns qualifying round. No excuses.

[Sonic]

No excuse about their budget this time macy its an unbelivable chance to get through to the next round and we better :ball:

[Macy]

Totally agree, this time. I've said all along, my expectations for a Northern or Welsh team would be to get through....

Anyway, €44 5 day return on stena as a foot passenger, so then whatever the Train is from Fishguard to Carmathen.

0900 sailing for Rosslare has a train link - 1350 from Fishguard, arrive 1440 Carmarthen

Coming back, 1245 from Carmarthen to Fishguard (1340). Back in Rosslare for 1800.

Working out just €400 for a car and 4 people rather than train....

[Wiseguy]

This is a great draw for us and a realistic chance of getting further in the They play in a ground called Richmond Park which is already a good omen.Carmarthen is a Town in Carmarthenshire in South Wales.It's kinda between Pembroke and Cardiff and Matthew Stevens is from there.Easy to get and not to far from Cardiff so i can hook up with Charlotte Church.Worked in Cardiff and it is a great city.Filthy cheap with lots of bars and clubs and women who just go weak at the Knees for an Irish accent.All you have to do is go around saying fcuk and three and their yours.Allegedly we are hillarous when we say this.I spent 6 very fruitful months working in Cardiff and how i miss it.This really is a cracking draw for us.

[De Town]

have the trip booked!

Boat from Rosslare to Pembroke, €38 for 4, as a foot passenger, get bus to Carmarthen, bobs you uncle. CANT Wait, WHAT A FCUKING DRAW!!!!

classic!

[Wiseguy]

I used to live in London and i rang the Domino's pizza hotline and asked for 2 thin Pizza's.The operator on the other end said "your ringing from Southgate so you want Winchmore Hill please wait" i said i know that but i want 2 thin Pizza's and she said no you don't you want Winchmore Hill.This went on for about 20 seconds before she realised that i was actually ordering 2 thin crust Pizza's.She thought i wanted to get Pizza's from the Tooting Pizza shop which was on the other side of the city.!!!!!!!!!!!

Pauro - I'm considering driving over from London for it. Will make a decision closer to the time, but likely to go. You'd be welcome to a lift, and depending on when kick-off is that might get you back in time ? Peader might be up for it as well, and I'll see if any of the other London-based exiles fancy it too.

cheers man, will certainly consider the offer! will talk to ya about it nearer the time, ill try and see in the meantime if i can get the following morning off, cos im only filling in for someone, doubt it though.

[Xlex]

it's all very well making a mad trip and staying in the likes of Cardiff but I would really like to base in Carmarthen and have the craic in this rural town.


Would be great to mix it up with the locals...

Wouldn't think I'll be going for more than two nights but some of the travel arrangements sound a little mad....

Longford - Rosslare (144 miles - 3 hr 45 min)
Rosslare - Pembroke (3hr 45 mins)
Pembroke - Cardiff (2 nights) (1hr 45mins)
Cardiff - Match - Cardiff (2hrs)
Cardiff - Pembroke - Rosslare - Longford. (9hr 15mins)

that's some tripping around for Wales...

to be contined later...

Camarthen is two hours from Cardiff.
There are direct trains.
Cardiff is a big Galway.
Camarthen has the second smallest pub in Wales.
Cardiff has a few more.
Stay in Cardiff and commute to the game.

Flying directly to Cardiff with Ryan Air is your best bet. Have done the ferry thing and it's hard work!!!! :(

What now? Is that little Mac-er-roo? :rolleyes:

I'm assuming the Bucky boys will be over to Mick Fallon. :cool:

You coming to Cardiff or staying in Camarthenshire? :confused:

[an 'rock']

...Gawd I was a funny ******* in my day!

[Pauro 76]

...Gawd I was a funny ******* in my day!

Yeah what happened ya now.... ;) confirming i wont be there, a glimmer of hope if the game was in Cardiff but the two hour trek extra hammers the final nail for me....

[paul_oshea]

what date is the return leg??? is it mid week or week end?

[trulan]

Looks like thursday 28yh July

[ltfc_2004]

Any thoughts on when people are going over ? for how long ? and where are people staying

Plus any word yet on if the game is in Swansea ?

[Macy]

Well for me I aint deciding until the venue is decided. I'd rather go via holyhead if it's going to be as near from Fishguard...

Better for accomodation in Swansea, but I'd rather go and take over some smaller place...

Why couldn't we have just got Rhyl - even if that had been moved it would only be a very short hop to Wrexham... :rolleyes:

[Wiseguy]

The word on the street is that we are leaving Longford on Monday night for an early sailing Tuesday morning.We are staying in Cardiff and being brought by bus to the match which is supposedly being played in Newtown ( a few pints in the castle inn so ) and we are returning on Friday.Prices are estimated at €270 approx and all will be confirmed tonight.

:eek: I suppose it's a good few days, but still seems to be trying to make it an expensive trip.

Think i'd be looking at staying somewhere nearer the venue or Carmarthen....

I've heard it all now... Longford fans complaining about drawing Welsh team ;)

Does €270 include accomadation? Why starting trip so early on Monday?

[Macy]

:D It's obvious, the southern parts of any country are full of dicks....


Why starting trip so early on Monday?
If it's a travel agent organising it, then they have to make their money somehow...

[Xlex]

this is going to be so impractical, Surely if the trip is going for three nights it would be leave on tuesday night and return on saturday. a days annual leave less.

As well as that, Carmarthen at least deserve something out of qualifing and we should at the very least call in for a night and enjoy the place... What would we think if their support lived it up in dublin and trips to Longford for the bloody day alone.

I'm very damn sure someone is expressing an interest by staying in fooking cardiff.

[ltfc_2004]

Agree with Xlex wednesday to friday/saturday is much better. Hopefully we get a second trip so i will need the annual leave. Carmarthen seems a nice place on the tourist guides, it has to be worth a night there at least.

€270 does that include Longford to Rosslare bus, ferry and bus from Fishguard to Cardiff, 3 nights accomodation and match bus ? I suppose it doesn't sound too bad when all the travel is included

[the 12 th man]

re travel agents:
organise it yourself,its only wales ffs

[Macy]

Game will be Newton according to their website.
