[QUOTE=NeilMcD]I must say i was happy with that pizza bar, or as it is now called the italian, bar.
Hey I was happy with it too, and the pizza's were the biz, and it were'nt pricey but I was in there after the game so it was'nt quite rocking as it might have been before the game, but nice place it was though.
Here is the web address of a place to stay in Zürich if anyone is interested. It is well cheap compared to other places and they do a good slap up of food too. Its also right in the centre of everything....

Getting Swiss Francs - what the story with that?? I presume you cant get them in the banks in dublin cos of the strike or has anyone know any different??
Anyone know if you'll get ripped off changing the yoyos at the airport or in Switzerland??

Bless em.... so ive gone from booking a ticket through ticketcorner for the swiss end, just incase my original application for tickets through the FAI came to nothing.... To being told by the FAI that only block bookers were getting tickets and being quite glad that i had a ticket in the swiss end..... To now be told that some additional tickets have become available. :D
From that im thinking... and this might be way off the mark but... The swiss FA have realised that a lot of irish have booked through ticketcorner and they have just put the FAI allocation and where the marjority of tickets have been booked to people outside of switzerland together...hence additional tickets for the FAI??
oh well might be wrong... but im going :D and it seems that there will be some spare tickets too
I got the same e-mail.
I have 2 tickets available for the irish end, if anyone is interested. PM me if you are looking for a ticket..
Quick question - does anyone know if there is a bar in the stadium??
4 spares available for Irish end @ face value. PM me if interested. Cheers
Yes, there is a bar in the stadium.Quote:

Plenty of time to get tanked up before and after anyway....
Anybody know ehere i can book/price train tickets in advance from Zurich to Basel?
Belive its a rip off, so want to see if i can get any deals in advance..

Here you can buy tickets online for a fraction of the price but you can only purchase 2 days before you intend to use the ticket. Just follow the instructions. did it last year travelling from Geneva to Basel and it worked fine.
Thanks JohnN, looks like you can't go from Zurich to Basel though..Quote:
