So how many games did you make it to?

[shamrock17]

12/12 for me
none except the weekend in Stuttgart stood out really but things can only get better!!!

[Schlooooomp]

All in all I gotta say that the WC qualifying campaign was better craic than this campaign, I think that the fact that after Cyprus away it was pretty much over as a contest had a lot to do with it.

[HolylandsMan]

8 / 12. Didn't get a ticket for Czech Rep at home and missed Cyprus, San Marino and Germany away.

[bennocelt]

at only one game this campaign, away in germany, great craic esp the dodgy dubs fans and a sound crew from sligo........brought the brother with me too ..all tx to a nice win from betfair....

but now that my loans should all be paid by x-mas, roll on the world cup qualifiers............im hoping for somewhere sunny and with cheap beer (but i havent told the wife yet!;))

[SuperDave]

5 of the 6 home games... missed czech game.

san marino was my first away trip, and finances dictated that i couldn't go the czech/slovakia games, but i was in wales.

san marino away was definitely better than wales mind.

7/12 for (just about) my first campaign, unless you want to count games against the faroes at home.

[Poor Student]

I made it to 7. All the home games and also made it to Stuttgart for my first ever away trip.

[Cowboy]

all of em

[stojkovic]

8/12 all home games and the double header.
Was in Stuttgart in 88 and didnt want to spoil the memories by going back.

[sylvo]

Every game bar Cyprus. Made it to the Denmark game which was great craic. Was one of my favourites that one.

[Ash]

Missed the San Marino game in Lansdowne cos I was working in Sweden.
Took ages to convince the "Irish" Bar in Karlskrona to show the game.
They wanted to show Switzerland instead!!!!

Didnt go to Cyprus this time around. Saw enough of it the time before.

Hoping to get to all this campaign apart from Cyprus

[stiofain]

Made it to the Denmark game which was great craic. Was one of my favourites that one.

Agree with that. Great trip.

[pineapple stu]

All the home games and just missed Cyprus away, as like many of the posters above I had been there for the game in the previous campaign
Ditto, although I got a new job and so had to pull out of the Prague game, so just made two weekenders of it. Count that as 10.5/12 maybe?

[supasparx]

Good luck with the wedding Liam, regards to the missus.

Cheers EB, she still refers to you as 'my mate'!

[Claret Murph]

Got all the home games plus the double header Slovak & Czech 8/12

[slow2anger]

12/12 plus Denmark which was the best trip. The next campaign will be far far better in terms of trips (and hopefully results).

[Schumi]

Ditto, although I got a new job and so had to pull out of the Prague game, so just made two weekenders of it. Count that as 10.5/12 maybe?I was in the Millennium Stadium once, does that count as 8.5/12 for me?

[Kingdom]

Was at Germany and Wales away and all of the home games.
Aiming for Montenegro and Georgia away and all home games again. Italy away if a sneaky ryanair can be done.

[Dotsy]

7/12. All the home matches and Slovakia away. Hope to make it to Montenegro and Bulgaria this time around. Was in Tblisi many moons ago and had a ball.

[lopez]

No home games. All away games except Cyprus (am I glad I weren't there for that sh*te) plus the Denmark game. Hope to have a similar record for this campaign.

[NeilMcD]

10/12 for me. Missed the home games with San Marino and Czech Rep.
Going to struggle with the next campaign as I'll have a wedding to pay for, but I'm sure I'll make it to a couple.

Yeah best of luck with that. Bologna till I die.

[Beavis]

We were talking to you outside the ground pre-San Marino game when you were looking a bit lost.At least I guessed it was you from reading posts here for years, given there are not many bald Mediterranean looking over 40s;) with English accents going to Ireland games.:D

Not telling who I am though!:p

[jbyrne]

all home plus slovakia and germany away. 8/12
really sorry to miss cardiff and prague but was unavoidable

[Sligo Hornet]

Yeah best of luck with that. Bologna till I die.


......NO CRAIC IN RIMINI!!:D

two options

1) go via stansted (or if you're adventurous, another hub city)

2) fly anywhere into italy and trenitalia. return tickets on fast trains are rarely more than e50 if you book in advance

[theleprechaun]

7-all the home games and wales away

Aye thats the plan SD, for off-the-cuff travelling you can't beat Ryanair.

[beautifulrock]

I am a light wieght by the looks of it 5 games, all at home. Live in London so mid weeks are difficult, well that is my excuse anyway. Doubt I will do much better this time around either :(

London? Difficult? Your travel to away games should be dirt cheap as a result.

[Babysis]

London? Difficult? Your travel to away games should be dirt cheap as a result.

To be fair when I was living in London mid week games were a nightmare as it meant more time off work. I think people forget that home games for London/UK baseed fans can take up as much time as the away games.

London? Difficult? Your travel to away games should be dirt cheap as a result.It is in comparison to Dublin (not the same numbers with more options on flights). As I don't go to home games (much) I'm in a far better position financially for away games than you.

Echo the good luck Liam. It is only a short stroll down the isle but enjoy every minute coming back.

[Moscow Mule]

Myself and Mrs M managed 2 home and 5 away this time but will aim for a full house (away) and as many home as possible next campaign.

In fairness anybody making the effort on a regular basis when based in London can't be faulted for dedication.

Every game is 'away' for me but it's a great excuse for me to go home every now and then to catch up with old friends etc.

[SuperDave]

oh yeah, i agree that home games require dedication but given the transport links to the rest of europe, away travel is much cheaper than for us, also given the fact there are far fewer people going from london and the prices aren't deliberately inflated by the airlines.

but yes, they do have supreme dedication to make any games.

[Colie]

All bar Cyprus away, as was there the year before.

Best was San Marino,Prague and Bratislava and Wales last week. Ah I cant decide they were all too good!

Same here, will probably go to Cyprus away again this time round.

[The Banner Man]

12/12 for me

[joe_barry80]

Made it 3 myself Stuttgart, Czechs at Home and San Marino Away. Which we drove down to from Austria. No petrol stations open on the way back because the Italians where on one their weekly strikes:( ended up sucking petrol from the tank of a German truck just making it over the boarder before we went dry. Stuttgart was the best though

[Young Hov]

Made 4 myself. Germany away and Wales, Germany & Cyprus at home.

P F A Pts
4 2 2 5

I agree Stuttgart was the best of the away games. Czech & San Marino
were good trips.

[cullenswood]

All the home, none of the away
