**aidz1** · 12/03/2009, 11:49 AM

Lads,
Dublin airport are doing a on-line booking parking deal. Works out at €4.50 a day in the long term...€9 a day otherwise....
should work out cheap if you driving to the airport for the italy game.

The little sh1ts! I just paid �8 a day for the last week while I was away! Ah well..

Quickpark is �5 a day online, slighly more expensive but easier to get around and better bus service.

Neil, don't do it. Travelling with that lot is dangerous, you might be asked to do some ironing

Nice in Bari these days

Has anyone got email confirmation from the FAI yet for purchasing the match tickets online?

When I completed the online booking I received a confirmation reference number on the screen and the status changed to paid. There is no mention that any confirmation email would be sent. However, I just checked my credit card statement online and the money has been deducted.

**champagne** · 12/03/2009, 6:13 PM

Yeah my status is PAID too and money is out of my bank account. Cheers lads.

ST you will be in a right state coming out of the Big Tree by that time and as you know I do not approve of getting lashed up in there.

Thanks Ash, don't think I'll be heading to Italia having had a quick look at flights. It could be done but messy. Enjoy the game. See ya in South Africa as Bulgaria even more out of the question. Really should have kept a closer eye on the fixture list!!!

Pineapple, thanks, tickets listed approriately I hope, jeez there never used to be so many rules man.

We've already factored that in to our plans........we'll come over to Dublin an hour earlier so we don't lose out!

Yeah same here had to change my flights now flying out sunday evening to stansted then on to bari at 7am monday morning returning home friday.

Did it cost you much to change flights? It cost us an extra 100 quid each.

Anyway everything paid for now cant wait roll on Bulgaria and the Bari.

**magnumpi** · 13/03/2009, 9:53 AM

Is Joys where people are going after your game on Monday? Might head there to see what the craic is like. Any idea where in Bari it is? Oh, the match itself is out for me I'm afraid as firstly we don't get into Bari until 5 or 6 in the afternoon and secondly I can't kick snow off a rope.

**gufct** · 13/03/2009, 1:33 PM

That makes 6 of us Paulie its only a bit o Craic all u need is Runners and Shorts Joys are supplying the shirts with Names printed on the back.

Heres Joys Marco is the bossman seems sound and he has told me they will not be increasing their prices. http://www.barionline.it/joi's/irishpub.htm

i used to ref games between italian students in Ireland for the summer and no matter how friendly the game starts expect all kinds of messing and unsportsman like behavior as it progresses! hope you have a strong ref
