Bologna "Meet Up"

[Sligo Hornet]

For those of us staying in Bologna ( i.e. Supasparx's Bus Tour & Others) is there a selected "Watering-Hole" where we can meet up on the Tuesday before Wednesday's festivities?:confused:

[NeilMcD]

Yeah I would be on for that. I am staying in the University Hotel on the Tuesday and Wednesday.

[Sligo Hornet]

Having checked , briefly, the following seem the most likely "HQ Candidates".....The Cluricane Irish Pub ( Via Zamboni 18/b ), The Auld Dubliner (Via Cairoli 2/c ) or The Irish Times Pub ( via Paradiso 1/d )

Anyone know which is nearest to our two hotels ( i.e. University & Regina )?

[Sligo Hornet]

More in depth investigation shows The Clauricane Irish Pub to be the best.....10 min (or less) walk from hotel Regina, right outside University ( so must be v close to Hotel University )

It's got favourable reviews, Happy Hour DAILY from 4pm to 8.30pm!!! :) Also, stays open until 2am ( useful for on arrival back from the game in San Marino ):D

Any other thoughts Gentlemen ( and Ladies! )?

[Peadar]

Talk to FanFromItaly on the Cork City FC forum if you need any advice about Bologna. We've an unofficial link between our clubs.

[NeilMcD]

Yeah SligoHornet sounds good to me I can just fall out of the pub into my bed.

[supasparx]

I'm in Bologna for both nights, still need to book a hotel but will get that sorted soon. Definitely up for this.

still rooms available at hotel uni if you book direct off their site.

You can count on the Russian contingent to be up for it. Looks like it could be a mental time so I will have to pack the spacehopper pants.

Good idea my Ruski mate....I'll email them to let them know we are invading, and to see if they can provide some good wholesome, educational entertainment.......like "The Hooters" chain perhaps!!:D

[supasparx]

Meself and Missus Sparx shall be in attendance!
I take it this is where I'll receive all those 'pints' I've been promised from my 'passengers'?:p

Yeah, do that.
I'm actually arriving on the Saturday, so I'll pop in that night to make sure they're prepared.

[Beavis]

Count us in for this one (6). We were going to try to get to San Marino on the Tuesday evening but seeing as there will be something doing in Bologna we may as well stay and make arrangements in the morning. I'm going to try book that University Hotel.

If you can't get in there, try Hotel Regina ( it's where another section of the Bologna Green Army is residing.....5 mins walk fom Hotel University )

Hes going alright but hes heading off with Rob towards San Marino.
I'll see ye in Cluaricanes on the Tuesday night, you can leave the poaching but the table diving buzzstop style is still on the cards;)

[Saint Tom]

good stuff. Cluaricanes seems to be the hot spot alright. Those italian women are up themselves from what I've been told. They are good looking and they know it!

[Sligo Hornet]

I have sent TWO emails to The Cluricaune Pub.........without a response!:(


Any of our intrepid Bolognaites arriving very early ( I know Supasparx is arriving Saturday )....could you please have a nice quiet word with them ahead of the main party.

[NeilMcD]

Lads is there anybody who is staying in Bologna that would be interested in a game. If we got about 10 people we could arrange a 5 a side match.

Yeah we have 6, the only day we could do in Bologna would be the morning of match day, bearing in mind kickoff isnt until 8.45 local time.

[NeilMcD]

Well I have my mate and myself so that makes 8 so if we get 2 more we could have a game.

[Mento]

I will be in the Cluricaune this saturday night to sample many beverages and have a chat with the manager:)

Nice one Mento!.......make sure he gets plenty of spare barrells in!:D

Also, will he be prepared to stay open longer than the advertised 2am on the Wednesday night.....us Bologna lads will not make it back from the Match until after Midnight.....with raging thirsts!!;)

[Sligo Hornet]

Just in case Mento's chat with the manager of The Cluricaune doesn't result in any entertainment being laid on:( ...........has any of our party got a guitar/ any other musical instrument, so we can be self-sufficient?:p

[Saint Tom]

good call about the guitar. i dont play but every body enjoys a good sing song. ill make up the obligatory "war chant" cd just in case and bring it along with me!

[casso36]

I never received a reply to the (several) e-mails I sent:( ..but Mento spoke with the Manager, so I am sure we will be well looked after:)

[NeilMcD]

Student night sounds good, I could do with brushing up on my Italian anyway with the locals.
