The weather forecast for Wednesday's match is awful.

What is the procedure for sitting behind the goals in heavy rain at Lansdowne? Are macs provided? Are umbrella's advised/recommended?, or do you have to sit and get soaked for 2 hours? :confused:

[Billsthoughts]

there were free poncho things the last day if i remember correctly...

[passinginterest]

Umbrellas are the devils invention, anyone bringing one to any match should face serious consequences... I'd imagine they'd be considered dangerous anyway and probably confiscated, certainly the bigger pointier ones

[as_i_say]

all credit TO umbrellas but they are a pain in the ass at a match but i like them cos they keep me dry when outside and not at an ireland game.

Don't bring an umbrella. Just grab a plastic bag. We're all used to the rain by now.

Do they even f**king sell umbrellas back home anymore? F**kin umbrellas. That's a scared of the rain 'tan' invention no self respecting Irish person should use one. We should all be well used to being pi**ed on by now. What's the worst that can happen anyway? Cold, flu, pneumonia? You'd be back on your feet in no time once you didn't die.

Umbrellas! You could have someone's eye out with one of those things. Get a big aul fertiliser bag and make holes for your head and arms, no better man.

True. 0-1 San Marino tonight. O'Shea og.

Have got a soaking on the south terrace once or twice, dont ever remember seeing ponchos etc been given out. A friend of mine brought an umbrella with him but wasnt allowed to bring it in. Agree with ye on the umbrellas, no way should they be allowed at a match.

Bloody hell lads are yez that badly off that ye can't afford a rain-jacket?? Ponchos, plastic bags?? Well it looks like the days of the Celtic tiger are well and truely over then....

I love looking at matches here when its p*ssing rain on the open terraces. It looks so fcuking drab and depressing, almost communist-esque.

They had rain jackets on the east touch line for the czech game

[Billsthoughts]

It looks ****ing miserable out today!

[Collyontour]

they had a free poncho on every seat for the czech game.

Ahh at least a wether thread, Now the forum is a fully Irish forumm

[deadman]

standing in the rain is more 'fun' than sitting ... boo urns for seats. poncho's in the bag though

Sponsored by Ford. I dumped one in my bag the last time & was able to find this morning. Quick test run seemed to indicate fairly effective. :cool:

Its been Ark like weather today though

[Billsthoughts]

I for one will be dusting down my "typical FAI" comments if I arrive at my seat and find no poncho for me.......

[the 12 th man]
