At least we can repay the German fans for the amazing welcome we received over there. Will also spread the word to anyone I know thats around town on saturday and going to the game.
Been out to Richmond alot be dont remember the bar, will it be big enough to accommodate everyone. Just worried that this thing takes off and its swamped come Saturday.
Absolute disgrace that the FAI are AGAIN doing nothing that looks like hard work!!!!!

Richard Sadlier, the former Irish international, has agreed to take part in the money-raising events and Stephen Quinn's No 8 shirt from the recent U21 game against Portugal will be offered for auction.
Paul McGrath has also presented the organisers with a signed shirt and a signed copy of his book for the event.
Are the FAI organising or contributing to the charity events?Quote:

Soccerc not too sure if this was answered already but will the venue be big enough to accommodate so many people? Deffo interested in going but don't fancy queuing half an hour at the bar!
and well done, looks like it'll be a great success...
That is the big imponderable though you won't be waiting half an hour for beer, trust me!Quote:

When seeking a venue I approached a number of places but they either didn't want to know or expressed an interest yet never got back to me.
Good Luck with it lads. Wont make it meself as Syringicore is a tad out of the way!

Lads are ye all aware that a member of YBIG Forums rang the FAI to ask about this event and they (the FAI) took full credit for organising it and they had nothing whatsoever to do with it??? :mad:
Will be going along as well. For a while at least. Great idea and fair play to the people who organised. P.S. **** you FAI.
Yeah seen they posted it on their website, it looks like they are trying to cling on to it alright!
