The place will collapse
Hopefully not, I'm sneaking out a bit earlier than planned
Last of the last minute decisions and I'm away. hope its worth it it!!!
come on you boys in green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Story of the trip was getting to Holyhead and asking for two return tickets to Cardiff
The ticket guy politely asks
"Would you like the 1.30am train that changes in Crewe or the 4.30 am direct to Cardiff""
We reply "We will take the direct route to Cardiff as we can get a bit of sleep on the way down"
Direct route turned out to be Holyhead - Chester, wait 15 mins there while they changed engines. Then back the way we came to Shrewsbury where we got a bus to Craven Arms and then back on a train into Cardiff.
Then on the way back we were told the train would return at 7.35PM but I took a walk up to the station after the match and was informed that train was cancelled and it was leaving at 6.50 instead (wonder how many missed that train)
Then a good journey by train, bus, train, bus with the Wrexham supporters even though as Ash said on another post some guy got on the train and shat himself a few times and stunk the carriage out. He was abandoned by all in Llandudno Junction
Schloomp was lucky to still be on the train after enticing the fella who sh*t himself to walk up and down the carriage a few times to give everybody a good smell. People weren't happy with that and blamed Ash for encouraging him
Had a good weekend and had the pleasure of meeting the following
Green Tribe - Apologies for thinking you were male reading your posts
Bluebeard - Mr G&T himself and the first person I have ever heard saying to an Athlone Town fan that a strong Longford Town team are needed for the league
Babysis, Schloomp, AidoM, Philo, Ireland4Ever, Citizenerased and the one and only Bear11
There were probably a few more that I can't remember
Looking forward to another trip that doesn't clash with an Eircom League match.
im back...way hey...great weekend, the result and the penalty with 3 minutes to go really typified the campaign...
met a good few of the foot.ie crew who were mocking me about my pathethic grovelling last week..
unfortunately a few scumbags around again, dublin knackker tried to attack the bouncer in o'neills on friday with a bottle after being thrown out for flashing his genitalia to women. apart from that good weekend

Had a great little trip. Thought Cardiff,from what little we saw, was a great spot to go out,spent all Saturday in Walkabout.We couldnt get over how the night is in full swing so early, all the people were out on the dancefloor and on the hard stuff by 9 whereas Ireland wouldnt be til earliest 12.
Needless to say in the end,this very long night took its toll, with the bro waking up the whole hostel by setting off the alarm trying to remember the security code
Couldnt believe the Millenium Stadium is smack in the middle,probably the equivilent of Marlborough Street in relation to our city centre.Handy as fook.
Ferrys are so much less hassle than airports.No security checks,passport checks, check-in desks or 2 hour prior arrival times, a welcome change.
<insert witty remark>

Would have been nice if ALL the Irish players could have shown some sort of acknowledgement towards the good travelling support at the final whistle.
Keane,Given,Hunt & Doyle only one's who bothered showing their appreciation towards the Irish crowd
Perhaps the others were getting cold...it was quite chilly at the end!

Agreed, it was much warmer in Witherspoon'sPerhaps the others were getting cold...it was quite chilly at the end!
Possibly there were a few players who were not happy with abuse they got against Cyprus and understandably so. Given always claps the fans at away games,regardless.He knows the effort made by fans because his family regularly travel.
Decent atmosphere in the irish area for the game.About 20 minutes to go a group of about 20-25 gathered over towards behind the goal who went randomly into party mode.Was anyone apart of this? They must have all simultaneously downed their hip flasks or something cos they were all of a sudden having great craic.
<insert witty remark>
And all the others who took off their jersies to wave around their heads.....too feckin cold for me to do that!

On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"
And they nearly did.
So just another quiet relaxing weekend!
