Stroke of genius, Sylvo. It's a long old haul but cheap as chips - books and beer should get me through it. Now all I need is to sort out a few tickets.

Tickets will be the easy bit.
Have to say I'm dead chuffed you managed to swing it.
Just proves that if you want something bad enough, there's always a way.
Pat on the back to everyone who provided info to help a fellow supporter.
How many tickets do you need?

Well said Peader and should've been said by me earlier. Great support lads. This has gone from me finding a pub to watch the game to actually going to support the lads and have a night out in Paris. Fantastic. Well chuffed. I need 3 tickets if anyone has any leads.

You should get plenty ticket offers here but if you're still stuck next week I'll have a word with my mate who has French end tickets.
Think he has 12 and needs 9 or something like that.
He's away on holidays at the moment so I can't confirm that this week.

If yer about on friday night, the Republic of Ireland Soccer Supporter's club in London are having a meeting in McGovern's in Kilburn, if there's no joy from anyone here, which I think there proberly will be, but if not i'm sure there will be a few lad's up there who will have spare's, plus you'll find a fair few poster's from here at the meeting meself included,

BTW Peader are you coming up to the big smoke friday night for a couple of quite pint's.

The Blythe Hill Tavern, in Catford (Blythe Hill Road) is a nice place to watch it. Great Guinness, good athmoshere.
Should warn you, there is no big screen (and it's on the smallish side)
Plus Shillelagh's Bar on Lewisham high street..tiny venue-huge screen, great beer and 100% Irish.

Might be around alright.
No plans yet.
What time is the meeting?
I don't finish until 18:00
I'd be looking to get a train from Reading at 19:00
It takes about 25 minutes to get to Paddington from there.

I like the way you make the meetings truely Irish by not starting on time.

There's only a 40% chance that I'll get down for it.

Sylvo, are your meetings open to all supporters or Members only? Is the meeting in the bar itself or function room?
