Just on the Hotels lads..last time I stayed in a town called Liestal 8 miles from basel...train leaves every 10 mins and takes about ten mins to get in...hotels are cheaper...I stayed in a 4 star hotel called the TOP Engel Liestal....quality place and dead handy for basel as the train runs til 2 in the morning.....you should also check out a site called cyber city breaks....you get decent discounts through them
Just to let people know the swiss fa have announced that the tickets for the Ireland game are been sold as part of a package with the FAroe Ireland game so you have to buy for both to get ticket in the swiss end. They will then release the remaining tickets for each game if there is any on a one game basis. Not sure about dates yet
They'll sell the package from July 30 to August 8 and the remaining tickets from August 9 on.
The demand for tickets for this years Swiss match isn’t going to be as high as last years because:
1. The game is on a Wednesday Night so a lot of people wont be able to get the time off work or whatever.
2. The result of the match, although very important, does not hold the significance as last years make or break result.
On another note 4 of us ended up sitting in the Swiss end and although it got annoying when they were singing about “hot sweets” there wasn’t any problem or trouble between us when we broke into song, which was quite regularly.
when they started singing agadoo and waving there little flags it did get a tad annoying now !
I remember the agadoo thing too. it was really really annoying.
Unfortunately I can't go this year to basle, (getting married) but The pair of us will be in Paris.
I think we should start a motion to....
If ireland get revenge this year, the irish fans should sing a round of Agadoo ...the Swiss will understand that we have had our revenge when they hear it.
true ! one round of agadoo and then for it to be never heard again please . Really confident this time around though I was confident last year as well !
Are these tickets also being sold on the ticketcorner website as was done last year?Quote:

Hi Guys, well I live in Basel, so if you need any help for the transfer from the airport to the city, or the transfer from zhe airport zurich, than you could ask me. I also know some cheap hotels in the town, so if you need informations or help I can help you.
Cheers AlFayed
So does that mean that you are a Swiss national? The only reason I ask is because you were on another thread enquiring about the best place to stay in Paris for our game against France as you were going to come along and support us. It's just that if you were a Swiss national I'd find the idea of you supporting us in a group involving your own country a little odd....to say the least of it.Quote:

Well if you're at the game against your native Switzerland in September and are supporting us I hope for your sake you end up in the Irish end of the ground. I doubt if the Swiss supporters would take too kindly to one of their own supporting the opposition.
Or one of there own not singing agadoo ! Think that would be a worse sin for them
Are your players as agadoo-traumatized as the supporters? Maybe we should play it BEFORE the game then. :p
Thats why they were so poor last time out obviously !
Brian will have to ban it from the ground
True! That's how we deal with traitors: ;)Quote:

taht picture is something different... our club manager bought a player from zurich, and we hate the zurich peoples, and this player is the biggest ******* on earth... one year ago he burned a scarf from our club, and this summer we bought him! we hate him! we don`t want him! it`s a long story... well, in switzerland nobody cares if I support the swiss team or the irish team, and my friend have accepted that I support the irish team... that`s all... at the game in Basel this september I can`t comme to the game, because I have to study in another part of switzerland... ****! but I can support the irish team in october in Paris...
I'm sure Paris is much closer than Basel from that "other part of Switzerland". :rolleyes:Quote:

It looks after all that Ticketcorner is not selling the package over the internet. You will have to call (+41 900 800 800). From Switzerland it costs CHF 1.19 per minute. They say waiting time will be 15 to 20 minutes.
Rang them at 9 am CET this morning after finding no link on the site and was told to call back at ten. Managed to wait just 5 mins before speaking to an operator. I was a bit worried as she couldn't give me a ref. number although she was happy to give me her name and promised to ring back in a couple of minutes with it when her computer got it. Anyway, she kept her promise. I do love Swiss efficiency. Now for the cr*p postal service of the German Lady to deliver them to me. :rolleyes:Quote:

Ticketcorner is a serious firm.
I have no idea how much of a run there will be when they start selling the Ireland tickets separately. I just know that many Swiss fans are waiting for that moment.
I felt the same last year, so much I bought a ticket from Euroteam, which as you mey know never turned up. Tickets from Ticketcorner are cheap rate and were two - thirds the price of the tickets the FAI were selling for a ticket at the opposite end. Tickets were also sent to me by registered post.Quote:

I'll probablly be able to tell you at what time they start selling tickets on Monday by Saturday afternoon. However, you can't rely on the internet, and if you have to spend 20 minutes waiting on the phone, you may just as well spend that money on a Switzerland-Faroe Islands ticket (CHF 22.40 in the cheapest category).
the best line the lad on the phone said half way through the call was
''you will have to excuse my english, its not so good''
better than my german my friend .... and prob better than my english when ive had a few jars :D :D
how long are the people who are going to this game staying for?
im going out on the wednesday and comming back on friday, (would have taken in the u21 game but my new boss is a pain in the @rse and i was lucky to get the time off for the game at all)

I'm flying to Zurich on tuesday and flying back on Saturday and staying in basel
Arriving on Tuesday, going home on Friday, staying in Basel.
10 of us heading out on the monday flying dublin stansted basel and then back on the thursday staying in basel
