    Slangs aint huge and not as big as The Dubliner which was the biggest pub we were in.
    Still has a bit of space inside and would fit a couple of hundred.
    There are 20 or so tables outside and then the main square so plenty of room outside all along the strip.
    Slangs is bigger than 17s bar. 17's and Slangs about 50 metres away from each other

    Thumbs up

    Good research Mento....the Square it is then......are there plenty of handy places to adorn our flags? Will we be able to launch the footballs at unsuspecting dining locals ala Stuttgart?

    Will there be portaloos like Stuttgart.?...all that lovely ( Cheap ) beer will need to find a home once processed!

    I can't see the local police being as friendly as the German crew. Perhaps we should start with tennis balls and work our way up to footballs.

    there are plenty of trees along the main strip where flags can be hung. there is also a band stand outside bar 17s.

    Going to e mail the slovak fa regarding beer tents, portaloos etc

    And yes, plenty of space to play a bit of ball, but i would be wary of the feds over there!

    Yes lads, I think we'll need to be on our best behaviour over there. The England fans got a right battering when they played there a few years back and while i think that probably has more to do with England being England the Slovak police are apparently quite heavy handed.

    I reckon I must be one of the very few fans that really dislikes this.

    The thing is when I'm on an away trip I don't want to be a pain in the arse for the locals. If you're kicking a ball high up into the air it can land anywhere. On a car, on a table where people are eating or drinking. It could hit an elderly person or a child. I know that we're on holidays but the locals who are going about their daily business are not and we shouldn't act disrespectfully, which in my opinion this is. I know that if there were a load of away fans here booting a ball around O'Connell Street I would not be happy.

    I'm with Mento. I'll stick with the boozing.

    I was only joking Paulie.....I wasn't keen on it ( in fact was only ever viewing from the safe distance of high up the steps )

    You were right bang in the center of it Hornet. In fact you were kicking the ball so much, the gaffer was going to call you up as a last minute replacement for Alan O Brien.

    I never said you had the pace of Alan O Brien. Why the guy did not just take up sprinting and be done with it. You on the other hand have the first touch of a young Alan Kernaghan.
