As there seem to be many people interested in this, I thought IŽd open a new thread so it doesnŽt get buried in the other thread where most people are still trying to sort out how to get here etc.
I sent the DFB an email and asked for any news and they said they dont have any, but will put it on their website (www.dfb.de) as soon as they do. Unlike countries like England, Scotland etc. Germany almost never play their home matches at 3pm, so I guess weŽre looking at a 5-6pm kickoff.
5 or 6pm kick-off eh?.........we get there early the previous morning......I haven't got a clue what the hell we can do to kill the time!!.....hic hic:D :D
Hope your not implying that we drink all day?? Better things to be doing, emm, emmm like, emmm, emm!!!Quote:

Jens, will we be hard pushed for time if our flight lands in Stuttgart at 10.25 on Saturday morning and we need to check into our hotel in speilberger strasse 70435 plus try and fit a few gargles in before K.O.:confused:
Thanks for your input by the way.:)
WonŽt take much more than an hour or two ... train from airport to town is approx 20 mins. You should be able to get to the Schlossplatz for say 1.30pm.Quote:

But lights will be installed by early next year. All the cabelling has been in place since the end of redevelopment. All that needs to be put in place is the physical lights which the GAA have invested 4 million euro in.Quote:

By October this year even. 2nd International Rules test vs. Australia and 6 Nations vs England will both be late afternoon/evening starts under lights.Quote:

8.45 German time, 7.45 Irish timeQuote:

The talk about flood lights being erected in Croke Park, something which will be on the mind of a lot of Irish people, should be discussed if it comes up within a topic. The kick off time has been covered, and it's not really a topic you can debate any further. If this thread brings alive some other topics to be discussed well then this is the place for them. I didn't realise a topic was not allowed to develop further subtopics from it.Quote:

Can I suggest you join boards.ie if you feel the need to be dogmatic.
Edited to add: Mods - if is a closed shop and original topics must be strictly followed and must not spawn any other topics let me know. Regardless of this I don't see any reason to nit pick (as above), after all I thought this was a discussion board not a school.
