Was there in 1991 in Poznan, a bit of a dive. I'd be interested if they play in Krakow this time which is a beautiful town plus there is plenty to see nearby that doesn't require the involvement of alcoholic beverages or licensed premises.:D
In recent years their most used ground outside Warsaw has been Chorzow (in Silesia, fairly near Krakow).
That doesn't sound too far from Berlin or Prague then?Quote:

I was at a question & answer session many years ago, Giles and Dunphy were on the panel. A questioneer from the floor asked why over the years, have Ireland played so many away friendlies in Poland.
To hilarious uproar Dunphy replied that an unnamed president of the FAI (a pig farmer I think from Sligo) had a unquenchable desire for the local ladies of the night, who could be had for a bottle of the local vodka.
I wonder have things changed.
You'd never have thought this thing would have happened in a communist state. I think if it was down to 'gals' and 'drenk' Poland is no longer good value. Surely a visit to Nigeria or Thailand would be far better if that was the 'committee's' priority.Quote:

BTW, checked out BA from London at £88 plus taxes from Gatwick for two nights to Krakow if it does come off (pardon the pun:eek: :o )
there is a large chance the match will be in Lodz.
Oh yeah, I can just see Milo rubbing his hands together and grinning.Quote:

Over here in Tanland there's been mass panic in the s#n and daily ex#ress (sorry to swear) about how 1.5 million Pole's and Solvakian's come may 1st when these nation's become member's of the eu, are going to flood into Laaandaaan (Londain) home to world leader's like, middle class cockney spice, (aka Victoria Beckham), dizzy rascal, eastender's Phil Mitchell and Chas 'n' dave, they reckon that come May the bus's and train's from Poland will be jammer's with people heading for geezerville, so if any body is driving to the match any chance of giving some of them a lift so the daily ex#ress can meet it's imaginary target.
By the way if any one back home don't know who Chas 'n' Dave are, check out Spurs cup final record's ( i know it's been a long time), the two ****ed looking fella's with the beard's are Norf Londaan's answer to Bach snd Mozart, Chas 'n' Dave.
Chas and Dave. Weren't that who Ronald 'Sir, the president's lost his brain again' Reagan called the most in - love couple in the world (aka 'the butler's worst nightmare' and his late wife, 'Will Carling's worst nightmare')?
Did you see the picture on the cover of the Daily Excess. I think they went around looking for the dirtiest gitano baby imaginable. Probably asked his dad to stick his finger in his throat and make him chuck up for the price of a visa. Should have known that Kilroy - aka 'the man who has done more than anyone else to help Britain's race relations' (his words) - worked for them. For a in depth view of the former MP's views on foreigners (including his mother's country) see this week's Private Eye. Also quotes his love for Sasana which is shown by the fact that he lives in, er, Spain.:confused:
i see kilroy's mate and good freind of Ireland julie birchill (#####) has a got a new job with the time's, i suppose they got her to give out about 1.5 million pole's coming into sassana after her hateful rant in the gaurdian about the Irish. I did'nt know old Ronald was a fan of Chas 'n Dave i thought he was a katchagoogoo fan and the scene in celtral America.
