Its hard to say. Bohs didn't get anywhere near 10,000 for their game v kaiserslauten a few years ago. german teams haven't got that big a cache about them.
They don't have any museums or the like but there's some cool stuff. If you see an aerial photo, the roof doesn't cover the whole way around, the flame was down that end and the have plaques with all the gold medal winners there. There's a load of classical style statues and other olympic buildings around the stadium too. The entrance to the stadium is stunning too with the rings hanging from between two towers. You'll enjoy it.Quote:

Wasn't capacity at Tolka restricted to about 6,000 for that game? Something to do with requirements of German TV?Quote:

That is truly astounding DodgeQuote:

Nah, that was Libertas last year, which Drogheda (eventually) saw off. Even Berlin aren't that bad.Quote:

Will it still be €10 a ticket? presumably RDS will cost a fair bit to rent . . .
BTW Word is that the game in Germany will be in the Olympic Stadium
Probably find that the Sportpark is also not up to standard for this round.Quote:

Away leg likely to be on Tuesday 16th for German TV coverage
I see Pats have agreed to compensate fans affected by the switch to the Tuesday. Fair play to them because it would be annoying for fans who booked straight after the draw. I know most clubs couldn't afford to do that but it's a nice gesture.
Any predictions on scores lads.
Will Pats get a real hammering? :D 4-0 or 5-0 maybe? Its been a long since we have seen a live TV hammering for a LOI side. :D
