Soccernet says 3pm. The only issue is I haven't booked anything yet and the only way I can get back for college monday morning is the saturday night 730 train to catch the overnight boat, because in their infinite wisdom, arriva trains wales first train of the day on sunday from cardiff to holyhead only arrives in at 1654, 21 minutes before the last boat, not allowing the 30 mins check in deadline, so i'd like to be extra super sure that the game is 3pm before booking anything (mind i have applied for tickets).

**stiofain** · 10/10/2007, 5:59 PM

yeah coming back that route, but leaving during the day on friday (i hate being tired during a game and prefer to do most of my drinking before rather than after, especially given the recent form and lack of much to celebrate)

ah the atmosphere is always better before a game though, so it'll not be so bad leaving on the evening of the game. as long as you're there on friday night and for the build up, all will be good.

q: do they have beer on the trains? or should i say, will they notice if you take your own beer onto the trains?

Havin a bit of bother booking a room for the night of the Wales game. Anyone know of any Hostels/Cheap hotels out there who still have rooms available. Not looking for anything fancy just a bed and a roof.

try hostelworld.com

**harps1954** · 20/10/2007, 11:17 AM

Hi, I have flights booked for the game in Cardiff, but due to a number of different factors, I'll not be able to make it now. I was due to be flying in and out on the one day from Dublin - Bristol with Ryanair, so if anyone is interested in buying the flights off me, please PM me. I can also provide two tickets in the Irish section, so can sell the 2 flights and tickets as a package.

**Kingdom** · 20/10/2007, 3:08 PM

There are at least three of us going now, possibly 5/6/7. However hotels/ hostels seem to be at a premium. If people are going to be cancelling, would they not be better off offering their accomodation here first.

**Saint07** · 20/10/2007, 11:01 PM

Whats the story pubs in cardiff. Heard of place called o'neills from a friend said its big enough near millenium stadium!

I have a double room going spare at the travelodge in central cardiff, right next to the ground and all the bars. I've just decided to drive instead of stay so if anyone would like the room changing into their name, let me know. its 91stg for 1 night

**DubinLondon** · 22/10/2007, 1:39 PM

I was in there on Friday after the Police concert, Drink was cheap, Large Vodka Red Bull Pint and Vodka Lemonade less than a tenner seemed like a good crowd in their as well. Big shop on two floors with a dance floor on the Upper level lots of Bars and clubs around as well plus lots of young ladies walking around half naked though of course as I with the missus I was only half looking!!!

**scousedub** · 22/10/2007, 4:18 PM

I got my form from the FAI today offering me the five tickets i was looking for. Sign of the times i suppose,wish it was this easy all the time.

**soylent green** · 22/10/2007, 9:22 PM

Yeah, no surprise to be allocated the 3 tickets I was looking for. FAI also looking for flight and accommodation details again for this trip.

For anyone still looking for a room, I just cancelled a room in the Sandringham Hotel (beside the stadium) due to a nephew's Christening clashing with the match.

**Sproston Green** · 23/10/2007, 12:54 PM

I have qualified for 3 tickets, but now can't make the fixture (honest).

Anyone know if this will effect my Block Booking?

Doubt it away games are different to block bookings for the home games. All block booking does for away tickets is give you priority if there is a shortage.
