**NeilMcD** · 08/04/2009, 8:05 PM

I have been to all home and away games for this campaign. I was thinking of giving Cyprus a miss but as it looks like its going to be a massive game in this group for us i will be there too. My work colleagues think i am mad but its a great hobbie to have.

**NeilMcD** · 09/04/2009, 7:23 PM

I just booked Cyprus. Out on the Wed evening to Heathrow and stay with my mate on Wed night. Then out Thursday morninig Heathrow to Larnaca and back Monday with Cyprus Air. Flying Then London to Shannon Monday evening and all ready for game in Limerick on Tuesday night. Got all flights for 325 euro incl taxes and credit card charge

**LaoisLads** · 27/04/2009, 3:18 PM

made the full house on the last campaign and should make this one as well. the only trip not booked now is cyprus but its only about the size of laois anyway so it doesnt really matter where we stay there!

missin the flights home from italy cost us an extra �280 each so thats after affectin the budget and put off a couple of first timers that were with us and didnt understand that hardship is part and parcel of these away trips!

I too have been to all matches so far and intend to go to the rest except for Cyprus. Had a mad idea of going to Buenos Aires instead to see Argentina v Brazil, but the recession has put paid to that idea.

Flights and hotels for the remaining matches (Cyprus apart) have been booked and paid for. But it's not looking promising for me if we need to go to a play-off.

Gutted to say that events outside of my control means Cyprus away is the only trip home/away/friendlies I will miss this campaign

Rich Bast*rd, you should be ashamed of yourself for having so much money in a recession. I think we should all have a fun for people who cannot afford to go to games and we can all collect for the needy, so on average everybody gets at least one game per campaign whether they pay for it or not.

I was hoping to go to the Bulgaria match, but I have an exam that day. Anyone fancy swapping their ticket and journey costs for a Partial Differential Equations exam? It's a really fun subject, and it'll probably be far more enjoyable than the match. Please...

I'll even throw in a calculator. First come, first served.
