Slangs aint huge and not as big as The Dubliner which was the biggest pub we were in.
Still has a bit of space inside and would fit a couple of hundred.
There are 20 or so tables outside and then the main square so plenty of room outside all along the strip.
Slangs is bigger than 17s bar. 17's and Slangs about 50 metres away from each other
Fair plenty mento. I like to christen Staropramen Stroppybarman and its a nice Czech beer alright, Pilsner Urquell is another one that is nice that is served in Prague.
Good research Mento....the Square it is then......are there plenty of handy places to adorn our flags? Will we be able to launch the footballs at unsuspecting dining locals ala Stuttgart?:D
Will there be portaloos like Stuttgart.?...all that lovely ( Cheap ) beer will need to find a home once processed!
I can't see the local police being as friendly as the German crew. Perhaps we should start with tennis balls and work our way up to footballs.Quote:

Going to e mail the slovak fa regarding beer tents, portaloos etc
And yes, plenty of space to play a bit of ball, but i would be wary of the feds over there!
good man mento...cant wait..feeling its going to be a savage trip pending the right results
Yes lads, I think we'll need to be on our best behaviour over there. The England fans got a right battering when they played there a few years back and while i think that probably has more to do with England being England the Slovak police are apparently quite heavy handed.Quote:

I reckon I must be one of the very few fans that really dislikes this.Quote:

The thing is when I'm on an away trip I don't want to be a pain in the arse for the locals. If you're kicking a ball high up into the air it can land anywhere. On a car, on a table where people are eating or drinking. It could hit an elderly person or a child. I know that we're on holidays but the locals who are going about their daily business are not and we shouldn't act disrespectfully, which in my opinion this is. I know that if there were a load of away fans here booting a ball around O'Connell Street I would not be happy.
I'm with Mento. I'll stick with the boozing.
I was only joking Paulie.....I wasn't keen on it ( in fact was only ever viewing from the safe distance of high up the steps ):ball:Quote:
