Anyone fancy nominating a venue and a good old fashioned foot.ie meetup?
I'd love to catch up with some of ye folks though it'll be after 3 when we get into town I'd say. Flying into Weeze that morning and driving down
Definitely up for this. Three of us arriving Hahn at 11:00am on Sat and have to get round to the Mainz Ticket Office sharpish to try to get tickets first.
There should be no problem getting tickets outside the ground right??Quote:

Yeah Saturday is a good day as Macedonia are playing Scotland at 1pm too and then on Sunday the All Ireland final is on also. I think there is also an Ireland match on, so I think I may have a few beers.
And move on to here?

SH will ye remember what we look like this time, given your sobriety when we meet?! :D

Alternatively a bag of cans in the town square.
Indeed paul given the close proximity of our locations, ya never know could know ya already :)
SH, if we leave it up to you to qeue at the door from 8 and that way you can hang your flag up for all to see like you did the last day and we can all fllock like shephards to Jesus :D
Having said that you had it up the last day and i was standing there for about 15 - 20 mins before it was pointed out to me even though it was right in front of me :D moral of the story make it noticeable this time :P
Sorry Paul....my fault...I should have got a bigger one than the 9ft x 5ft one I have..........."should have gone to Specsavers"?:pQuote:

good description alright Neil :D
:ball: 2 of us definitely there :ball:
I will be there also.
whats the story with friday night though? Lads meeting there are getting in late so wouldn't mind heading down for a few myself.
friday night and im feeling right, my motorcycle and a switchblade knife
handful of grease and my head feels right, but what i need to make me tight are those...
Yeah I am arriving into Mainz on Friday afternoon sometime so will be out that night. THe night before the game is usually the best night in my view.
same as that neil, agreed, could never go in for the day fo the game.
im on the london flight arriving around 7.50 i think so should be out around 10 id say after quick drop off of bag in hotel!
I will be in Mainz from Friday morning.. staying in the Hilton International.

To be more precise he's the bearded git who looks like Richard Branson or so the bloke kicking the ball in Bratislava thought.Quote:

Hey lads, I know I'm only a newbie on here, but I'll maybe catch up with yez in the porterhouse. I'm draggin my missus up for a lovely romantic weekend - it's our 6th anniversary and she has little idea what she's in for!
We're staying in the camp site which looks to be pretty ideally situated in an island pretty near the centre of town:

Plan to drive up after work on Friday evening - if lucky in time to make the ticket office in advance of the 6pm close, if not it'll be a dawn rise on saturday.
Grateful if guys could post to lest us know how ticket sales are going in advance...
I thought it was MRS now :confused: Not fussy about the tickets are you :p. I'm there Wednesday (Jaysus thats tomorrow :eek: - better pack) so will have a look for you Sparx.Quote:

Due to the inclement weather (i.e. normal Irish weather ) in Mainz:mad:
The Old Town Square Football Launching session may be subject to a pitch inspection!...."AidoM....AidoM...are you receiving?...Over"
Weather looks pants but at least it is game on now. It can't come quick enough.Quote:
