Thanks for that superdub. Will check it out next sunday
Hi Kilcruise! Have checked it out & the Irish Pub on Weissliliengasse 5 are definitely showing it on the big screen - www.irish-pub-mainz.de. This was my local for years when I lived in the area & the manager is a mad GAA fan from Wexford. Think the starting time is 16.30, German time.
We got a full refund from our original czech airlines fare - got dublin to frankfurt (FRA with aer lingus) for €100 out thursday morning at about 6 am. Then we have a flight from Stuttgart on Midday Sunday(1 and a half hour by train from Mainz €29 pp on bahn.de) to Belgrade with german wings for €80 to catch our original JAT flight to Podgorica. Get €400+ plus refund and the new arrangements cost under €200. Would have loved to go to Tbilisi but it worked out alright in the end. Booked the hilton in Mainz @ €40 pppn. Five of us on this route.
just booked ryanair from kerry to frankfurt for €87 return, didnt realise kerry had an airport!!!
Sounds liike you have come out ok Tom. We are booked in the Novotel Mainz from Thursday night so will tie up no doubt.Quote:

hi Paul, the etap hotel is approx 5 km out from the city centre & the main station where bus to hahn is. would cost 10 euro in taxi. don't know about other hotels with free rooms, but will try to get back to u on it a little later!
im assuming there aren't any bars out that way whilst i wait for my mates to come along? is the area safe enough, usually the hotels are in industrial/rough areas. still though 10 euro for a taxi is nothing.
Why do you want a taxi paul........sure it's only a TEN MINUTE WALK!:DQuote:

upthecats, can ye get a bus or anything out to it?
Reminds me of the etap in Cardiff, i stayed there after the Wales game last year. I was a bit lost finding my way back after the match so having remembered the name of the road, i asked a passing policeman for directions. He basically told me to feck off as, unbeknown to me, the road the hotel was situated on was apparently Cardiff's dirtiest red light district :DQuote:

I take it that was to Frankfurt - Hahn. (Which is 126 km from Frankfurt). Went through there to get to Bratislava.Quote:

Gents is kick off still 5pm Irish time? I've seen one or two places say 8pm for some reason.
Was wondering that myself. It is down on Sky Sports website as 8 and was in some paper today but RTE had an ad on there saying their coverage started at 4:30 and i doubt they're doing a 3 1/2 hour build-up!Quote:

Last week when it was announced, it was 6pm local German time, I haven't heard anything different from that.
Mainz will be like a home game, complete with ****ing rain.:(
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=4609
Yeah its kick of 5pm Irish Time or 6pm local time or 8pm Georgian Time. The game time has not moved. I hope that is clear.
Anyone on the first flight out of Dublin to Dusseldorf - Aer Lingus on the Friday....?
Long range forecast shows rain on Saturday but not until the evening. It remains warm though.Quote:

Any German speakers on hand, my pigeon German from years ago coupled with this babelfish translation seems to say tickets on sale Wednesday morning at 8am Irish time.
