Even in the very centre, leicester square, the main places will be less than a 1/3 empty. Its a joke.:mad:Quote:

Only 1 day off work for me so got a BMI flight to Heathrow out at
6.45am the morning of the match and back at 7am the next morning!
Worked out at €97
How about this reason: Croke Park isn't available and the FAI can maximise their profits by playing the game in London. ;)Quote:

Save a bit of money and what not.
I can get local numbers round fulham if ye want. Just pm me, or ill put it up here whichever people would like.

playing in london - maximise profits - NO, you were obviously not at games in the Valley, about 7-8,000 and they will be lucky to get over 10,000 in fullham and tickets will probably be cheaper than Dublin if last time is anything to go by.
maximise profits play in the rds low rent, 18000 seats would sell out at €70 per ticket or glasgow where 20 - 25000 could be expected.
and incase you thing im an apologist for the fai i'm not i'm a realist and also believe that trap does not want a home game, remember our first 2 qualifiers are away.
I'm going to make the trip for this one and have emailed the FAI Ticket Office, but not holding out too much hope for a speedy or positive response!
Does anyone know any other avenues of getting tickets for this - even from the Fulham end of things? I'm looking for two tickets.
If anyone can shed any light on this it would be much appreciated!!
:ball:
There will be no problems getting tickets and im sure the ticket office will get back to you in time.Quote:

Clapham, Camden, London Bridge, Notting Hill, Soho; all packed with good pubs and bars. The list goes on.
Seriously, it sounds like you actually do need to get out more. :)
:ball: PP
Know nothing about London pubs but like all trips it's what you make it, found a fabulous boozer beside the Valley for the 2 unity cup games, had a great session both days and no idea who owned the kip! I'm sure we will do the same for Craven CottageQuote:

Kings cross is alright in fairness too, but on a thursday most of the places would be empty by 11.30. I work in the city, so I go to loads of bars around there, but everyone just goes for a few after work and goes home.
Soho would be the place i would mainly go on a thursday if looking for a crowd, and its still hard enough find a rocking place on a thursday, even the good aul easy spots are fairly empty - on anon, tiger tiger, reflex, sound etc etc.
