    Vaduz

    Hello,

    I live in Zurich, I think you would be better getting to here instead of Germany as Liechtenstein is well connected to Switzerland - bus/rail etc.

    Compared to Dublin, prices in Zurich are about the same as long as you avoid tourist traps.

    Swiss francs is the currency used in Liechtenstein.

    Not an easy draw for you guys, wouldn't surprise me if they won. They gave Neuchatel Xamax a real run in the playoff.

    Any (sensible) questions I will do my best to answer.

    beer costs from 5 francs (3.2 Euro) to 9 francs (5.70 Euro) - depending where you are.

    always ask for a big beer or they will just bring a 300ml one.

    beer from supermarket starts at less than 1 euro.

    night life on a Wednesday - Thursday....ha! Quiet enough, but you won't care as you'll be in a gang.

    I'd be willing to meet up with some of you if, as it looks like, the trip to Estonia is too expensive for me.

    thanks for the offer, I'd be glad to meet up.

    most bars are open until 12 or 1, but there are enough that stay open all night. (I'm basing this on my weekend drinking).

    From what I remember of Vaduz, it's pretty much a ghost town, I'd try to get back to Zurich after the game if I were you. Been a few years since I was there, though can't imagine it's changed much.

    2 main areas in Zurich are the Niederdorf - old town, very nice, some ok pubs and the Langstrasse district- lots of bars, strip bars, junkies, more life than in the Niederdorf if you get me!

    there is no "real" Irish bar in Zurich.

    Oliver Twist

    Noble Dubliner - previously known as the ROYAL Dubliner!!! run by a Welshman

    Nelson

    are frequented by some ex-pats but are IMHO over-priced and horrible.

    they are also the bars I mentioned where a pint is nearer 10 francs than 5 - it pays to shop around here!

    you are better off walking along the 2 strips and finding one that you like the look of - there are all different kinds of bars here, you will see what I mean.

    in the summer there are loads of places you can drink outside (esp. in Niederdorf), most of them will do for a laugh.

Fairly expensive alright; was a bit young to be sampling the nightlife back then though! Only other thing I remember was before one of our qualifiers when George Hamilton was talking about Liechtenstein - there was unemployment of ten, and they don't want to work!

    Actually did a piece on the Swiss Division Two for the programme last week - Vaduz came second with average crowds of 901, so it's not as if they're a big club or anything. Possible they're not even fully pro with crowds like that. They lost out in a play off to Xamax (who beat Shels 2-0 in the InterToto a few years ago), so it's very winnable. Check out www.rsssf.com to see how the Swiss Division Two works though! Back to back matches against the same team every weekend, with two bonus points for winning on aggregate, with peno shoot-outs if needs be!

    Well it seems winnable alright, hopefully we can do the business and get another tie out of it..

    They're semi-pro.

    They're only in Europe by virtue of winning the Liechtenstein cup, which they pretty much have won every single year. The standard of Swiss football isn't good once you go outside the top division, you should be well capable of taking them.

    Switzerland is class by the way, and Zurich is cool, as the man in the know said, if you shop around.

    We'd want to improve on our display tonight against drog's if we want to stay in europe for another round. Eric should have scored at least once. At least we play better away from home, Vaduz watch out!! Can't wait for the trip.
