[SuperSaints]

If you're on the Ryanair flight from Stansted back you can ring them up and they'll put you on the flight the following morning. Just have a night of boozing in the airport. Is it definitely 24 hour there?

As previously posted the Official German Fans club want to meet up before the game in Stuttgart and have arranged a beer garden for the occasion.

Ansgar Marx, the local rep, has sent me the following details of the arrangements of the meet location which is only 200m from the stadium




Hi to all Irish football fans!

In the course of the international football match Germany vs. Ireland on September 2nd, 2006, the fanclub of the german national football team has organized a meeting of fans, which will take place at:

Station - Gastronomie Daferner (Gastronomy of the VFL Stuttgart)
Mercedesstrasse 90
Suttgart
www.stadion-gastronomie.de (http://www.stadion-gastronomie.de/)

The typical german beergarden is located next door to the Mercedes Museum, about 200m away from the stadion. A BBQ with freshly grilled meat as well as local beer will be provided for you guys as well. Besides, we contracted a DJ, who will also be happy to play some of your irish CD's! A football ground including a big screen is situated next to the beer garden, so everybody without tickets will also have a possibility to watch the match.

The party starts from 3 p.m. (15:00) on!

We hope you guys are all going to join us and we're very looking forward to an afternoon of convivial drinking! :-)

Greetings from Germany & See you!!!

[Reddladd]

Fair play to these guys. Could not imagine the same being done from our side. Great idea to have a big screen outside the ground for all those who don't manage to get their hands on tickets!
A bit of grub and a fill of beer just 220m from the stadium..............sure ya couldn't bate it with a stick!:D

Anyone have any info on the Etap Hotel Stuttgart City

As there owned by Ibis no doubt not very central but rang them and said beside metro station and takes 4 stops to city centre.

Etap Hotel Stuttgart City
Siemensstrasse 28
70469 STUTTGART-FEUERBACH

Anybody know of anything else about it?

Also, not bad. It is beside a gas station (possibily to buy drinks very late) and beside Club Prag, a disco (http://www.club-prag.de/)

And it´s really takes 4 stops to the main staion

Uwe,

What about the Brita Hotel?????

[UweBarschel]

Uwe,

What about the Brita Hotel?????

Just checked their webiste. Perfectly situated to the S-Bahn, you get very qucik to the stadium. Would take about 10 minutes into the city centre by the S-Bahn. I t takes longer to get there by taxi. Obertürkheim is on the outskirts of Stuttgart, so it will be not so lively. As i live in the south of Stuttgart, I´m not sure if they are good pubs in the Obertürkheim are. Hope this helps a bit.

The last and only time I stayed overnight at Stansted airport, there was no 24hour

Yea we did... only there was 4 of us then & now there's only 2... getin joers between 4 wouldnt have been too bad but could cost us a bit between just 2. Then again, i don't know, maybe they're not that expensive?

First post! I got bandb accomodation on this website http://www.bed-and-breakfast.de/. Dirt cheap only 20 euro each a night and its slap bang city center in Bad Caanstat. Flying into charloi brussels fri mroning and driving rental car down. Looking forward to the road trip but looking forward to the pints at the end of it more.

[Mayo_Bhoy]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news mate but Bad Cannstatt is not in Stuttgart city centre. It's out in the suburbs but i think with the excellent public transport sysytem that wont be too much of a problem

Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart is far more regular than that. trains depart 7.54, 8.54, 9.20, 9.54, 10.54, 11.20 etc takes just over an hour.

The station is in the airport, I'd suggest going straight there and checking out the next train the Stuttgart.

www.bahn.de has the timetable.

N oreal idea re the fryup but an Irish bar in Stuttgart is a bette rbet than Frankfurt airport.
