For those of us staying in Bologna ( i.e. Supasparx's Bus Tour & Others) is there a selected "Watering-Hole" where we can meet up on the Tuesday before Wednesday's festivities?:confused:
Yeah I would be on for that. I am staying in the University Hotel on the Tuesday and Wednesday.
Having checked , briefly, the following seem the most likely "HQ Candidates".....The Cluricane Irish Pub ( Via Zamboni 18/b ), The Auld Dubliner (Via Cairoli 2/c ) or The Irish Times Pub ( via Paradiso 1/d )
Anyone know which is nearest to our two hotels ( i.e. University & Regina )?
More in depth investigation shows The Clauricane Irish Pub to be the best.....10 min (or less) walk from hotel Regina, right outside University ( so must be v close to Hotel University )
It's got favourable reviews, Happy Hour DAILY from 4pm to 8.30pm!!! :) Also, stays open until 2am ( useful for on arrival back from the game in San Marino ):D
Any other thoughts Gentlemen ( and Ladies! )?
Talk to FanFromItaly on the Cork City FC forum if you need any advice about Bologna. We've an unofficial link between our clubs.
Yeah SligoHornet sounds good to me I can just fall out of the pub into my bed.
still rooms available at hotel uni if you book direct off their site.Quote:

Count us in for this one (6). We were going to try to get to San Marino on the Tuesday evening but seeing as there will be something doing in Bologna we may as well stay and make arrangements in the morning. I'm going to try book that University Hotel.
If you can't get in there, try Hotel Regina ( it's where another section of the Bologna Green Army is residing.....5 mins walk fom Hotel University )Quote:

good stuff. Cluaricanes seems to be the hot spot alright. Those italian women are up themselves from what I've been told. They are good looking and they know it!
I have sent TWO emails to The Cluricaune Pub.........without a response!:(
Any of our intrepid Bolognaites arriving very early ( I know Supasparx is arriving Saturday )....could you please have a nice quiet word with them ahead of the main party.
Could Mento drop in on his reccie mission ??:cool:Quote:

Yeah we have 6, the only day we could do in Bologna would be the morning of match day, bearing in mind kickoff isnt until 8.45 local time.Quote:

Also, will he be prepared to stay open longer than the advertised 2am on the Wednesday night.....us Bologna lads will not make it back from the Match until after Midnight.....with raging thirsts!!;)
Just in case Mento's chat with the manager of The Cluricaune doesn't result in any entertainment being laid on:( ...........has any of our party got a guitar/ any other musical instrument, so we can be self-sufficient?:p
good call about the guitar. i dont play but every body enjoys a good sing song. ill make up the obligatory "war chant" cd just in case and bring it along with me!
My Mates A BRIAN KENNEDY LOOK A LIKE IF THATS ANY USE???:D :D
Fair play Mento, can you see what the bioys in cluaricanes can do about late opening. maybe even reducing pint prices based on volume consumed??
Drink 20 and get 1 free :p :DQuote:
