8 going to amsterdam for two days and driving from there to the match sat morn (joxer styley) have back up plan regarding hard-core drugs if we go two down in the first 20 mins.....
I'm so jealous.:mad: 11 of us went to the Dam for 2 nights before the Swiss match few years ago. Oh Jesus, how we ever made it onto the train to Basle, i never will know. Enjoy.:D

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
Yes it is walking distance to the stadium. Camped there for Euro88. It has good public transport links to the city centre.
Anyone staying in the Ibis in the city centre- asking cause loads stayed in the hotel of that name in Paris...cheap and cheerful
yep 4 of us staying there, headin over thursday morning, cant fuppin wait
Markgröninger Straße 41, 70435 Stuttgart
Anyone got a notion where this is? Its meant to be city centre location, well at least I hope it is!

It's at the North of the city, seems to be a fair bit out of town but there's an S-Bahn station nearby. See here (http://www.hot-maps.de/europe/germany/baden_wuerttemberg/stuttgart/homede.html), very useful map site. Just put the street name into the box on the left.

four of us are staying in the ibis Am lowentor - dont know if thats the same one or not :o
Markgröninger Straße 41, 70435 Stuttgart
Anyone got a notion where this is? Its meant to be city centre location, well at least I hope it is!Yeah we're out that way ourselves in a "central location" but I guess it's better than being told your hotel is in Basel & it turning out to be in Southern Germany!
The stadium is on Mercedesstraße which looks like its only a train ride away anyways.
By the way we're in CITY PARTNER HOTEL FREIHOF if anyone else is.

Overnighting in Stansted :eek: on Wednesday night for a 7.15 a.m flight via Ryanair to Friedreichshafen and 2 1/4 train to Stuttgart. Staying in the Hansa Hotel on Silberburgstrasse. Anyone doing this trip or staying at the Hansa??
Four of us heading over wednesday Morning Staying in Hotel Hansa too Comming back Sunday morning
Lads
Just a little reminder to pack the travel adaptors for the mobile chargers. Germany has different plugs and the charges may not last the full trip particularly if people are in contact over there and making the calls home to "the mammy":D
Hopefully we won't have a blackout like Paris:(

Cheers for that Schumi, am i right in thinkin the stadium is at the north east of the city??
Supposedly the place is smaller than dublin, so im sure we'll manage to find the irish bars easy enough.

Baa has a site for airport hotels.might be pricey though
If not might be worth looking at hotels in bishop stortford, not really too far from the airport Hope it helps:)

I hope no-one forgets to bring something important like your German phrasebook. Or jumpleads for the van...
It was in the year of '88 in the lovely month of June
When the gadflies were swarming and dogs howling at the moon
With rosary beads and sandwiches for Stuttgart we began
Joxer packed his German phrasebook and jumpleads for the van
Some of the lads had never been away from home before
'Twas the first time Whacker put his foot outside of Inchicore
Before we left for Europe we knew we'd need a plan
So we all agreed that Joxer was the man to drive the van
In Germany the autobahn, 'twas like the Long Mile Road
There was every make of car and van all carrying the full load
Ford Transits and Hiaces and an old Bedford from Tralee
With the engine overheating from longhauling duty free
There was fans from Ballyfermot, Ballybough and Ballymun
On the journey of a lifetime, and the crack was ninety-one
Joxer met a German's daughter on the banks of the river Rhine
And he told her she'd be welcome in Ballyfermot any time
As soon as we found Stuttgart we got the wagons in a ring
Sean Og got out the banjo and Peter played the mandolin
There was fans there from everywhere attracted by the sound
At the first Fleadh Ceoil in Europe, and Joxer passed the flagon round
But the session it ended when we'd finished all the stout
The air mattresses inflated and the sleeping bags rolled out
As one by one we fell asleep Joxer had a dream
He dreamt himself and Jack Charlton sat down to pick the team
Joxer dreamt they both agreed on Packie Bonner straightaway
And that Moran, Whelan and McGrath were certainly to play
But tempers they began to rise and patience wearing thin
Jack wanted Cascarino but Joxer wanted Quinn
The dream turned into a nightmare, Joxer stuck the head on Jack
Who wanted to bring Johnny Giles and Eamon Dunphy back
The **** crew in the morning, it crew both loud and shrill
Joxer woke up in his sleeping bag many miles from Arbour Hill
The next morning none of the experts gave us the slightest chance
They said the English team would lead us on a merry dance
With their Union Jacks all them English fans for victory they were set
Until Ray Houghton got the ball and he stuck it in the net!!!
What happened next is history, brought tears to many eyes
That day will be the highlight of many people's lives
Joxer climbed right over the top and the last time he was seen
Was arm in arm with Jack Charlton singing 'Revenge for Skibereen'
Now Whacker's back in Inchicore, he's living with his mam
And Jack Charlton has been proclaimed an honorary Irishman
Do you remember that German's daughter on the banks of the river Rhine
Well, didn't she show up in Ballyfermot last week and ...

As mentioned before, no liquids etc. allowed in hand-luggage. Small (laptop size) bag allowed, but no big roll-ons. No gels etc. allowed either. Checks the bag, and carry the liquid inside you ;) :D .
