Check out the Inter City Hotel in Frankfurt for Accomodation. Stayed there 2 years ago on way to Stuttgart. Great location right across from train station and great value at €64 per twin room per night B+B. www.intercityhotel.com
Now all we need is confirmation that the game in on in Mainz

The San Marino game has reaffirmed to me that with Ireland - you assume nothing. This will only double Georgia's resolve.Quote:

Calm down, all it has been has moved. We have not got the 3 points yet and there is one thing that Ireland do not do well and that is being cocky.Quote:

Fifa have confirmed Mainz

FAI have also confirmed it and have sent reps to Mainz to negotiate with the Georgians regarding tickets

great drinking spot by the looks of things.
Fair play to FAI for reacting quickly - this time!
Ryanair flights have come down since yesterday. Just got Dublin-Hahn on Sat and back Sunday for €258.00
I am going to personally seek out the head of the Georgian FA and shake his hand for making my trip so much easier.Quote:

Geez boys, for a while it looked like this could be going to pennos. I reckon hats off to the boys from the FAI on this one, no doubt once Karlsruhe had been ruled out they mentioned the fact that many boysingreen had bought tickets on the back of the Karlsruhe statement.
Though I would've preferred Karlsruhe, I can't really complain as its still only a wee jaunt up the motorway from Strasbourg...see y'all there...
Sounds good already got my nice place to stay though. Going to be in Cologne though on Thursday night, so need to find a place. Anybody know any good spots in Cologne.
Anyone flying from the New York/NJ/PA to Frankfurt go to Priceline.com. The return flights cost $672 from Newark to Frankfurt flying out Friday at 5.40pm arriving Frankfurt 7.05am Saturday. Return flight leaves Frankfurt 1.10pm sunday arriving back into JFK at 4.00pm (EST). If you want to gamble and name you own price then you should get it for about $480 return.
Booked Hotel in Mainz last night, sources were bang on, now to cancel hotels in Stuttgart, Munich, Karlshrue, London, oh and Tbilisi:D
Anyone want to buy flights from Dublin to London. Prague, Vienna, Tbilisi etc going cheap :D:D
Lads, it could be quite fun that weekend...there's also a wine fair on in town! Mind and pack your spare liver...
Annual Wine Market
28 - 31 August and 4 - 7 September 2008
Every year Mainz’s Rosengarten and Volkspark are the sites for the Wine Market, the last weekend in August and the first weekend in September. White wines and rosés from the previous year are offered as well as some reds as well as wines from earlier vintages. It’s a great chance to meet hundreds of vintners and thousands of other wine lovers, discover new wines and simply have fun on a fine summer day.
Mainz boasts no fewer than eight major wine events starting in March with the Wine Tasting Days in Mz-Hechtsheim; the Sekt (sparkling wine) Fest in Mz-Hoefchen; and, Johannisnacht (Summer Solstice) in town in June; the Wine Fest im Kirchenstueck (Mz-Hechtsheim); the Wine Fest in Mz-Ebersheim; and, the Vine-blossom Fest in Mz-Laubenheim, all in July. Mainz-Hechtsheim hosts the Vintners‘ Days festival in September and the Rheinhessen Wine Forum takes place in October in Mainz’s Museum of Ancient Shipping.
As if all that were not enough, virtually every village in and around Mainz on both sides of the river celebrate wine festivals in Spring, Summer and Fall!
Stadium is Tolka Parkesque
http://www.stadiumguide.com/bruchweg.htm
lovely neat stadium, looks good. is that solar panels on top?
btw all accomodation seems to be booked up for saturday night. Got the etap where i normally stay for 49 euro for the 3 of us for friday but no look on the saturday night.
What is the most likely way the tickets will be sold, via the FAI or direct from Mainz (the way the Columbia tickets were sold by Fulham).
This is from part of the fai statement.
"In the interim the FAI has sent a team of staff members to Mainz who are in the process of negotiating a ticketing operation for Irish fans at the stadium in the days leading up to the match"
