If you're on the Ryanair flight from Stansted back you can ring them up and they'll put you on the flight the following morning. Just have a night of boozing in the airport. Is it definitely 24 hour there?

As previously posted the Official German Fans club want to meet up before the game in Stuttgart and have arranged a beer garden for the occasion.
Ansgar Marx, the local rep, has sent me the following details of the arrangements of the meet location which is only 200m from the stadium
Hi to all Irish football fans!
In the course of the international football match Germany vs. Ireland on September 2nd, 2006, the fanclub of the german national football team has organized a meeting of fans, which will take place at:
Station - Gastronomie Daferner (Gastronomy of the VFL Stuttgart)
Mercedesstrasse 90
Suttgart
www.stadion-gastronomie.de
The typical german beergarden is located next door to the Mercedes Museum, about 200m away from the stadion. A BBQ with freshly grilled meat as well as local beer will be provided for you guys as well. Besides, we contracted a DJ, who will also be happy to play some of your irish CD's! A football ground including a big screen is situated next to the beer garden, so everybody without tickets will also have a possibility to watch the match.
The party starts from 3 p.m. (15:00) on!
We hope you guys are all going to join us and we're very looking forward to an afternoon of convivial drinking! :-)
Greetings from Germany & See you!!!
Fair play to these guys. Could not imagine the same being done from our side. Great idea to have a big screen outside the ground for all those who don't manage to get their hands on tickets!
A bit of grub and a fill of beer just 220m from the stadium..............sure ya couldn't bate it with a stick!:D
will try copy good cd of irish songs then !Quote:

Just checked their webiste. Perfectly situated to the S-Bahn, you get very qucik to the stadium. Would take about 10 minutes into the city centre by the S-Bahn. I t takes longer to get there by taxi. Obertürkheim is on the outskirts of Stuttgart, so it will be not so lively. As i live in the south of Stuttgart, I´m not sure if they are good pubs in the Obertürkheim are. Hope this helps a bit.Quote:

This is great, I hope all the Irish fans do make a big effort to get to the stadium early so they can go to this for a while. German beer and sausages yum! :D
Lads is anyone else stayin here:
Golden Leaf Hotel Stuttgart
Schuetzenbuehlstrasse 16 70435 Stuttgart
2 absolute homo's in our group have pulled out :mad:. From what i can see the place is about 7k outside the city centre? 25k from the airport? Just thinkin it might cost us a fortune now with taxi's in & out between just 2 for the 3 nights we're there :confused:
don't mean to be rude, but did u not check where it was located before booking it?Quote:

have since looked up map as well and looks closer than 25mins to square..
should be plenty of watering holes on way anyhow
Anybody staying in the Intercity hotel, it right beside the train station...?
Anyone staying here? 6 of us getting in Wed night. Aparthotel Astro, Wasenstr. 15
Were staying at the Astoria in hospitalstraase arriving on german wings flight from stansted looks like half of Ireland will be there.
First post! I got bandb accomodation on this website http://www.bed-and-breakfast.de/. Dirt cheap only 20 euro each a night and its slap bang city center in Bad Caanstat. Flying into charloi brussels fri mroning and driving rental car down. Looking forward to the road trip but looking forward to the pints at the end of it more.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news mate but Bad Cannstatt is not in Stuttgart city centre. It's out in the suburbs but i think with the excellent public transport sysytem that wont be too much of a problem
Four of us staying there on Friday and Saturday night. Pretty central.Quote:
