I seem to have the image lodged in my head of a very drunk customer being forcibly dragged back to the bar as he attempts to sneak out of the hostelry for the 5th time, pleading with the bouncers "I promise I'll be fine this time", "sure I'm grand to go", "I've only had one or two" etc.

Turn up for the books

So if you cant find any accomodation, turn up to the pub with your sleeping bag
and get rat ars*d

So long as it's not the sleeping bag that Jim Smith leant to Shelsman.

Given there are not too many females going, I think I will stick to the father Ted idea instead, thanks very much

Have you seen The Wicker Man?
It will set you up nicely for the trip.

Guys Emma from FAI kindly called me today to say that some more tickets have been made available from Faroes association, she is currently offering them to block bookers so perhaps theres a good chance that some of you will get sorted.

**Babysis** · 16/05/2005, 8:34 AM

Well what a way to start a monday morning. Ive just got 2 tickets-Pat O, we have tickets. Happy happy days. I will of course keep an ear out for any others. As soon as i hear any, I will let you all know.

Neither. It was a bit of luck - A fella on here had 2, and he has let me have them at face value. Im just after emailing the FAI again, about extra tickets.

Seems Montjuich is getting smaller by the day.

Can't say I'm surprised. Figures never supported the Faroes selling their allocation. It would be the equivalent of 400,000 applications for a game at Lansdowne Road. They certainly had tickets left when we contacted the Faroes FA; they just didn't want to sell them to us. It's great news all round. While the crack and cost is appealing for the hill, there is still nothing like actually attending a game.

**Babysis** · 16/05/2005, 12:54 PM

From the irish FA after i asked about the extra tickets:

Louise,

We are currently in the process of contact original applicants.

We have received a limited number of additional tickets from the Faroe
Islands for this fixture. Your original application was for two tickets.
Please confirm if you wish to purchase these tickets.

Kind Regards

I've said yes to the 2 tickets.

If anyone wants them at face Value, PM me and they are yours.
- They are in the post to me now

**Only2keanos** · 16/05/2005, 3:56 PM

I have 2 spare tickets too. Let me know if anyone is interested in them, face value.

**Cowboy** · 16/05/2005, 5:07 PM

How much are the FAI charging, i've seen no deduction from my credit card yet ?
