Why pay for a ticket if you can watch the game from outside!?
"Irish Hill" is a good name and we'll do our best to make that name popular.
See you soon,

You got that with "foot.ie on tour" on the front? That'd be perfect.Quote:

Aye I got the same email saying mine is dispatched
Cheers Maribor! Like the comment too! ;)
Another problem though - I try to add two to the cart, and it asks me to login...? Obviously I can't because I've not registered - but I can't find where to register either? What's the story there? :confused:
Working now...don't know why, but don't care either at this stage! :)
I wonder where you got the material for the article?! ;)Quote:

Well, that depends on how many of you turn up in the end. But the
previous “record” is when the Tartan Army was here in 2002. It’s said that
they were somewhere between 500 and 600. So it looks like a new record,
yes… And if all the 900 of you with a ticket + a few more show up, then
we’re already close to twice as many as the previous best.
But I read on this forum today that some flights were being cancelled :-(
Hopefully, that won’t prevent you from beating the record.
About the “ever” part: Ever is only 13 years in this case, as 1992 was
the first time we played a World Cup or European qualifier in the Faroes.
That's true, yeah. How many would go over usually? Can't wait to haed over myself - been reading loads of stuff between guide books and the internet...sounds a fascinating little country! :)Quote:

Usually it’s not much more than a big handful. Rarely over a hundred, usuallyQuote:

By the way, I have forgotten the Germans. They were in the Faroes in 2003
and had 600 tickets. And then there were a few without one also, I think.
Anyone else flying out of Aberdeen on the Monday on Atlantic Airways?
Pints?
I have about 8 hours to kill in the Airport (I can see it getting messy).

Here's a reply I got to an email I sent to a couple of the pubs in Torshavn.
Hello Paul
I´m the manager of the Föroya Bjór brewery in the Faroes. We are supplying most of the beer in the pubs in the Faroes.
Our customer the manager of the “Rex “ & “Eclipse” discoteques and Café Natúr (PUB), asked me to answere your questions.
We can assure you that there will be no shortage of beer during your stay here! When the Scottish Team was here ,people got
some experience. There was never shortage of beer, but some minor faults happend. E.g. speed of serving beer, shortage of glasses for a moment,
and such things,which now will be under control.
The bigger problems will be to get accumodation for 1000-1500 people. The bars will be really crowded, but that makes the party better.
Sorry only a few bars serve foreign beers. As a matter of fact we don´t think it will be necessary. Our beers are of exellent quality. Our product range is as follows: Pilsner lager & Classic dark lager 4.6 % , Gull export lager 5,8 %, Slupp dark lager 5.8 %, Black Sheep premium dark Lager 5.8 % and a Stout specially brewed for the Irish 5.8 %(the last one only bottled) . As you can see the beers are stonger than the beers in a UK pub; we don´t know how strong
the Irish beer is?
The pub “Café Natúr” by the harbor will be open 10 am to 12 pm. There will be live music Monday,tuesday-Wednesday.
4 or five other pubs will be open in down town Tórshavn + Hotel launges ,and some of them will be having live music.
“The 12th man” The Faroese supporters Club, will be having an”After Party” in “Eclipse” after the game and it will be open untill 5 pm.
The Irish will be very welcome there. (max 400)
Please tell your friends, that we think that the situation is under control. Whiskey is expensive here(40 EU) ,bring a taxfree bottle with you.
We look foreward to see the Irish in town.
If you have any further questions,please contact me.
Regards
Einar Waag
This is going to be some craic!
Cheers Paulie. i am so looking forward to it. I cant believe how quickly it has come round. This day next week, I should be out sight seeing. Gonna be so much fun. Bring it on :)
Hey at least you are coming out there though. I know its little consolation but a bit of a shorter trip is better than nothing i guess :o
Aye but it is annoying to be let down at the last minute.Quote:
Tuff Paddy]Yep . . . as me Gran used to say: beggars can't be choosers.

Mind you, some of the beggars in Oxford these days are very choosy - they all have better footwear than most people who work for a living. :D
