Thanks for the advice GT - I'd assumed that all flights would be too expensive and was just about to book the ferry when I saw your post. Tried Ryanair.com & we're now flying to Bristol for about �120 pp return.

That's class. Will consult the lad(s) and see, cheers aidz.

What price are match tickets for this? Would home section be cheaper? If so, can Ireland fans buy them too?

I would say so.We are entitled to 7,500 tickets and if more than that apply i would say the FAI would be able to go back to the Welsh FA to increase our allocation. Cant see there being any more than 30/40,000 at game.

**Desyf** · 27/09/2007, 1:24 PM

We were allocated 7000 with an option for more, so eveyone will get one unless we take about 30,000.

**cobra** · 02/10/2007, 7:59 AM

due to some so called friends pulling out(and me with deposit paid on rooms

) I have 2 rooms available(twin and double) in http://www.nosda.co.uk/
PM if interested

**Jon'o** · 09/10/2007, 7:55 AM

If anyone is in need of a hotel for this game (i booked my room a year ago) PM me as i no longer need the reservation.

Its the Travelodge in the City Centre and its just a 5 min walk to the ground and right in amoungst the pubs and bars!

Its a double room and �100 Stg, paid on departure. If interested i'll get the booking changed into your name.

Cheers

Jon
