I know a few fans are a bit annoyed at the fact that Ireland are playing a home fixture in London. Lets all be positive and get behind the Trap Revolution. What a sight it would be to see the cottage packed to the rafters with Irish fans supporting their country and singing the anthem and rocking the old stadium.
West Belfast boys will be there, tickets bought today in the J Hayes stand upper and flights booked from Belfast to Heathrow with Aer Lingus (only £61 return).
See you there.

I'd say we will be lucky if we get 10,000. Although with it being Trappatoni's second game it might add a couple of thousand. This is the chance for all the so called supporters who usually find it hard to get tickets to get to an Ireland game. Easy to get to and cheap enough as well. I got my flight,hotel and ticket for €150.

What about the 1G, 2G and 3Gs living in and around London who never have the opportunity to get to a home game.

I am coming in from Brussels on the morning of the game. Tickets book and everything. Over in Belgium with work and could not believe it was only 2 hours on the train. What a service.

Heres an idea for anyone stuck in Gatwick or Heathrow without hotel booked. These are cabins in the both airports something similar to the pods in Japan. They start at £25 for four hours. www.yotel.com

those yotel yokes would be grand if you were doing a one nighter. You would be out til all hours anyway so some wheer to throw your head for an hour would be grand.

Ideal, as we'll probably be on the first flight back in the morning and we can get a few hours kip rather than go to a hotel and then have to worry about a taxi to airport at about 5am, and £40 between 2 isnt bad, look comfy and all!

I was just wanted to see if you supported any London team - which you don't. THat's all.

Just booked the Travelodge in Southwark (short ride on the tube from Fulham) for £29 double room for the night. It is a new hotel doing a great rate. Real bargain. Sure to go up so get in quick.

southwark is not a short tube ride to fulham.
Southwark is a hole to be honest mule. Not that safe either at night.

hence why it's 29 quid a night for a double room!!!

Southwark aint that bad, depends where abouts...there's decent bars on Borough High St, the Tavern, the George!
As for distance, it's about 20 mins from Westminster on the District...

ya its about a half hour and just one switch. There are some pubs like the MP, I spose during the week there will still be people round. GO to borough market and get a burger there, unreal.
The pubs all close early though, around 11 ( bar one place that I forget the name of down past HSBC on the left ) or so....and its not that nice a place to be walking round unless you are on the high street, at night time.

Dont think I will be making this one unfortunately.
I do think the turn out will be good (anything has to be better than the Unity cup). The 2G's will be out in force so the craic will be good, and if the game the sat before against Serbia goes well the interest will be greater.
How much is this game is being advertised over in London/Manchester/Birmingham? The unity cup seemed to get no publicity hence not many fans!

well my mate rang up to buy 5 tickets and they told him the tickets were selling "very quickly"....i dont know what the definition of very quickly is though...

Just booked 4 online in the Johnny Haynes Lower. You can select the seats you want and the 2-3 blocks either side of the Halfway line are practically sold out. Not sure for the rest of the ground, still tonnes left at this stage Im sure....

Just bought Five tickets on-line ( Hammersmith End ) and as you can choose your own seat, there seems plenty left to choose from.

just booked 2 on halfway for this one, big moment here for me boys and girls as its my new girlfriends first experience of football in any way shape or form, so should it go well, it will make my life a whole lot easier for obvious reasons
i need her to catch the footy fever and didnt think an afternoon at leicester city, or the unibond north watching stamford town, or even an evening in the jacks in the glorious company of the boys of limerick37 would do it :D
so ive chosen this game......... wise or foolish??

If a new central midfield partnership of O'Shea and Kilbane is chosen - you may be in a bit of bother.
