So with the Euro 08 qualifiers all done and dusted, how many games did you make it to?
I made them all home & away bar that fiasco in Cyprus.
Only 8/12 for me. San Marino and Stuttgart were the only away games I made.
Made it to all of them. Did the perfect campaign. Pitty the first campaign i could afford to go to was this one.
I wish i was the age i am now at Italia 90.
9/12. Didn't go to the first 3 away. Best trip was Prague by far.
Made it to nine myself, plus the friendly in Denmark. It was my first campaign attending Ireland games, just a shame it was the worst performance wise in recent history. Roll on Sept 08 and the world cup qualifiers!
First campaign for me too. Made 9 of the 12, missed cyprus and san marino away and czechs at home!! Nothing will beat the steps at stuttgart but prague and even the recent cardiff trip were memorable too. Although a crap campaighn it only wets the appetite for more. Roll on sunday so we can discover our next destinations!! (Bring on Rome!!!!!!!!!)
Got to three of them.
Made 11 of the 12. Didn't go to Cyprus as I'd been there the previous campaign. Just as well given the result :mad: but the telly lived very dangerously through that match :o
clean sweep of the home games, zip on the away games
Also 3 games for me, Stuttgart, Bratislava and Prague.
due to my domestic situation (i'm not bitchin!) and the fact I live in South FLorida, i am probably one of the luckier Irish fans this campaign. Saw three games, and Ireland were unbeaten in all 3!!... Wales & slovakia in Croker, and Bolivian friendly in Boston.
Got to them all bar Cyprus. Glad I missed that not a big fan of Cyprus as a place to visit. Also made it to Denmark which was a great night in Aarhus thanks to all the London boys.
Same here, the most I've been to in a campaign; Cyprus/San Marino (h), Slovakia (a).Quote:

Looking forward to studying the Map after the Draw on Sunday:)
I didnt go to Cyprus home or away or Slovakia Home (Wednesday night games when in London were too difficult) but went to all the others.
all of them except slovaks away
was at germany home and away , san marino away , wales home , czechs and slovaks away. so made 6 of the 12 , not bad seeing i dont live in ireland. Also went to germany Wales the other night !
All bar Cyprus away, as was there the year before.
Best was San Marino,Prague and Bratislava and Wales last week. Ah I cant decide they were all too good!
Made it to 10/12 missed the San Marino and the Cyprus trip.
san marino trip was the best for me, loved brat and prague but the banter and the grub in rimini were top class !
11/12, missed cyprus like a lot above....
wont be at many next campaign, mortgage to pay and time to grow up :(:(
All the home games and just missed Cyprus away, as like many of the posters above I had been there for the game in the previous campaign
So, from "Danny Boy" to "Dan the Man";)Quote:

same as myself...would have went to cyprus only too close to stuttgart and too expensive...glad i didnt now!!Quote:

10/12 - missed out on San Marino & Cyprus away. Stuttgart was the best trip but the Hare Krishna parade in Parague was the outstanding memory (off the pitch). Kevin Doyle's goal in Bratislava was easily the the highlight of the on-field action.
12/12 for me.
Cant wait for World Cup Draw.
Got your Borat swimsuit for Kazakhstan ready? :DQuote:

I think I'm the same.Quote:

Combination of the expense of following Derry in Europe for the past 2 seasons added to Danny's excuse above (I'm not as young and footloose as I was either) added to a general feeling that the arsehole quotient among the Ireland travelling crowd has increased noticeably in recent campaigns and I don't just enjoy being around that.
Of course that could be a function of my increasing age.
seems like were all hardcore lads....
7/12 All homes and Stuttgart, had to pull out of Prague at very short notice
1 out of 12
Cyprus at home.
10/12......All home games and did the away trips bar Cyprus(did it last campaign) and last weeks game in Cardiff. Been there for the rugby so didn't bother with last weeks friendly:) Anyhow was still hungover from the double header in September and from reading the posts the Cardiff experience would have put me in A&E!!
9/12...would have been 10 but couldn't make Slovakia game at the last minute.
11/12....Missed the one in cyprus, what a horrible result it was....I think the best trip was the san Marino one, the bounty bar in rimini was some craic and we got the three points (Just about) Was a hair-raising experience!! (Sorry Steve!!)... the wales trip was great aswell but suffered from lack of chanting songs in the pubs. Legends bar in Prague was great spot aswell....
Roll on WC qualifying draw............im off to buy an atlas!!
I made all 12. Cyprus Away was by far the worst. The least bad was probably the 1-0 home win over Slovakia. No real memorable trips either.
