I'd walk from Victoria myself. Make time & go along the Thames or through the posh parts of London. Either way one of the nicest capital city walks you'd find anywhere in Europe.
Not much of a footballing contribution from me today...
Did that last year.Quote:

Walk to Craven Cottage (15 mins)
Aer lingus from belfast to heathrow. only 9.99 (fare and tax) one way.
only a tube ride from there to fulham (think its about £5.50 all day pass for relevant zones), so saves the crazy train prices from stanstead
Think I'll definitely go to this. Will tickets be handy enough? what way were they for the Colombia match there? presume they'll be more Nigerians than Colombians though.
There were tickets available at the ground last year, but there could be a higher "away" attendance this time aroundQuote:

Now that's a 7000th post to be proud of!!!;)Quote:

Nobody from Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool or any other European teams left in the Champions League. Not many Irish left in the FA Cup of note either ie. Fulham, Everton, Boro, Burnley, Coventry (Westwood but will probably be knocked out by Chelsea), Hull (Kilbane/Folan but will probably be knocked out by Arsenal). Our biggest problem could be if Reading/Wolves/Birmingham are involved in the playoffs but at least we'll get a look at some other players in that case. McGeady will also be out of the reckoning should Celtic reach the Scottish Cup Final.
It would be nice to get a ticket for the Cup Final seeing as we'll be in the locality but I'd say I'd be doing well to get one for the Irish match!!!
Think I will head over to this, fly out on thursday from knock to stansted returning saturday for 28euro all in.
why wouldn't ye return the sunday? make a full weekend of it, thats not just you ronnie!!! :D ye can all stay at chez osheas....:D
Longford are playing Finn Harps the saturday night :)
Lads, what area of the ground are you buying tickets for?
About 20 of us heading over on my stag for it, should be a bit of craic! Had a great couple of days over there last year at the Columbia game.
I rang Fulham ticket office. Like last year, it looks like Ireland has been allocated Hammersmith End as well as certain sections of the Riverside Stand. I'm going for Hammersmith End, it's cheapest. It might be no harm someone else calling Fulham to confirm this.Quote:

Forgive me but don't Arsenal have to win the game in the 5th round first or have they got a bye ?????????????????????????????????????????
I did mention the presence of Burnley in the FA Cup in that same post. Like I say Hull will probably be knocked out by Arsenal. I hope I'm wrong;)Quote:

I am intrigued, tickets booked btw Pauro, will be fun.
Tried that last night as a chat up line and it did not work. So not really that fascinating!!!!:)Quote:

I'd say Heathrow. Get Heathrow Express train (15 quid each way) to Paddington and the District Line direct to Earls Court.
Next, in terms of ease:
There's a fast train to Victoria from Gatwick and you can get a tube or cab to Earls Court within 30 mins.
City Airport: trains to Bank, then District Line from Monument (station adjoins Bank Station).
Luton: get coach to Victoria, or Thameslink train to Kings Cross, District Line west to Earls Court.
Stansted: 45 minute train to Liverpool Street, longish tube journey to Earls Court.
From Heathrow you can get the piccadilly line (tube) to central london much cheaper than Heathrow express.Quote:

True, but Heathrow Express takes 15 mins, the Picc Line takes forever!
What good bars is there in Fulham?
loads naitch brogans is a good spot
Yes, and Ireland has a 100% record when PO'S and I drink there before a game.
Stutts thats the greatest act of charity anybody has done for this country of ours. Fair play to you, you are a hero.
what having a drink with me before a game?!Quote:

Anyway, continuing the charitable theme, Paul - I'm watching Rovers vs Sligo in Corrib Rest on Friday evening (assuming it's on). Join me if you want.
Ahhh Paull I will give you a big hug when I see you next.
Be careful paul if Neil's a bit grumpyQuote:

stutts if im around that night ill give you a shout.
Just booked Ryanair to Gatwick midday Friday, back 9pm Saturday for the sum of €27.50 inc all taxes, the taxi last time from Gatwick was €40 between 8, mind you only 2 of us on this flight....anyone else arriving into Gatwick at 1pm want to share a taxi??
Yeah I am flying on that flight. Ryanair Dept. 11.35 arriving 12.50 Dublin to Gatwick
We're on that flight too. I think we're getting a train into the city though.
Naitch, just to let you know if your flying into Gatwick and want to get in on the cheap you can book an easybus online for 2 Pounds(Yes, JUST 2 pounds) that doesn't stop anywhere and drops you straight to Fulham Broadway Tube station. Earls Court is 5 minutes away from there by tube or if 20 minutes walk. The Gatwick Express only goes to Victoria and cost about 26 pounds aswell. Brogan's is a decent pub for match banter in Fulham Broadway but the Cottage is about half an hour walk away and is down on Putney Bridge, where there's way more variety of boozers custom built for pre match banter so just head there.
