    Can we skip the whole "disgraceful to be playing in perfidious Albion" argument? We did it already a year ago.

    Probably have to pass on this, too close to the away game Bulgaria for time off.

    Is there to be an away friendly end of Aug - might try to make that as not going to Cyprus

    I'll be going to this one but I've yet to decide if I'll fly home on the Saturday or Sunday. It's really depends as to whether or not I can somehow get tickets to Depeche Mode who are playing the 02 in London on the Saturday night. The gig is sold out on Ticketmaster and Ticketline. Has anyone any ideas on where else I could get tickets for this, not including touts/ticket agencies?

    Well it's a home game for me and many other London Irish.

    As mentioned here, there was a terrific atmosphere at Craven Cottage last year and a decent game too. Plus it's only a half hour walk home for me, so I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope the weather is better and the District Line tube doesn't break down again.

    If you read the other posts I have made I have said there is a good reason as lots of people live in London and surrounding areas. But it is not a home game as in the FAI are not the hosting organisation and it does not take place in Ireland. That is fact.

    Do I agree with the game in Fulham yes, is it a home game yes. I have put forward the case that many people travel to Dublin for all the home games so this is a bit of small payback I suppose for that effort. But it is still not a home game.

    OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    I just moved over last year and living about 10 minutes from Craven Cottage Im quite happy

    I dont see any problem with playing in London for a game which as stated before isnt being hosted by the FAI. Brazil vs Italy in Wembly, Wales v Poland in Portugal etc etc.

    I did get very angry at the idea of us playing our qualifiers outside of Ireland while Lansdowne was being redeveloped.

Kick-off will be at 8.00 pm and tickets are currently available at £20.00 for adults and £5.00 for juniors
    So are they or aren't they hosting it?

    They are.
    So what?

    Maybe the FAI should apply to play a friendly in Beal-feirste?
    Against Ivory Coast, would be good....

    Was thinking of flying into Luton. Does anybody know where Fulham/Craven Cottage is in relation to here? also where is Craven Cottage in relation to London City Centre? Thanks.
