You'll be heading in the wrong direction.

Absolute great idea and ill be there for sure. Heading along with six mates, including a very good German pal (whos a VFB Stuttgart fan).

At least we can repay the German fans for the amazing welcome we received over there. Will also spread the word to anyone I know thats around town on saturday and going to the game.

Been out to Richmond alot be dont remember the bar, will it be big enough to accommodate everyone. Just worried that this thing takes off and its swamped come Saturday.

Absolute disgrace that the FAI are AGAIN doing nothing that looks like hard work!!!!!

See this is what a proper FA does, not just happy with raking in the money, they actually try and help out the ordinary fan.

A number of novelty events for charity are planned. The organisation Headway Ireland has been nominated as the principal beneficiary of any funds raised. The organisation serves those whose lives have been affected by such as brain haemorrhages and strokes.

Richard Sadlier, the former Irish international, has agreed to take part in the money-raising events and Stephen Quinn's No 8 shirt from the recent U21 game against Portugal will be offered for auction.

Paul McGrath has also presented the organisers with a signed shirt and a signed copy of his book for the event.

Highly unwelcome and unnecessary comment

Just an update to confirm the pick up point in Dublin City centre for those wishing to attend the Ireland Germany Fan Fest in McDowell's Inchicore.

The coaches will depart from the Clifton Court Hotel on Eden Quay ( location just off O'Connell Bridge heading east along the river Liffey) starting at 1pm Irish time

Soccerc not too sure if this was answered already but will the venue be big enough to accommodate so many people? Deffo interested in going but don't fancy queuing half an hour at the bar!

and well done, looks like it'll be a great success...

That is the big imponderable though you won't be waiting half an hour for beer, trust me!

If it is successful space will be tight but the bar staff are very efficient and it is planned to have a temporary bar in the outside smoking area.

When seeking a venue I approached a number of places but they either didn't want to know or expressed an interest yet never got back to me.

**Pablo** · 10/10/2007, 2:18 PM

Good Luck with it lads. Wont make it meself as Syringicore is a tad out of the way!

Just in case? It's a necessity at Ireland games, great added to the coffee in Croker

**KoemansCC** · 10/10/2007, 4:36 PM

I'll be there + 2...

**tetsujin1979** · 10/10/2007, 10:52 PM

I will be in attendance, along with at least two, and as many as four others

Lads are ye all aware that a member of YBIG Forums rang the FAI to ask about this event and they (the FAI) took full credit for organising it and they had nothing whatsoever to do with it???
