Are you sure we are in the corner. I had a look at the ticket and I did not make out that we were in the corner.

If you look at the seating plan on the back, we are to the right of the covered stand(left of the covered stand really)

**NeilMcD** · 26/05/2009, 8:58 PM

Exactly that is where I saw we were too. Good tickets. I think.

**HarpoJoyce** · 26/05/2009, 9:02 PM

How do you confuse an Irishman?

Put him in an oval stadium and tell him to find his seat in the corner.

Looking at that video, that 1st segregated bit after the stand(clockwise) looks to be where we are

Cheers JT. I sent you a PM about it alright, but that's great that its sorted.
Just two things, if there is 11 in your group and 3 in ours, that makes 14, which is what Cobra got the quote for in the first place? And we're not flying until Thursday, which is tomorrow week?

Thought the note on the tickets "Fans could be left in the stadium 15mins after the final whistle" was funny..........hopefully we'll be celebrating so we won't care yahoooooooo

Not sure bout where he is from but you would recognise him from all of the away games as he is the only one in a blazer and tie in the middle of the Irish fans.

know a few lads who were on lufthansa for the bari game. Lufthansa would not allow them board the return leg from milan to dublin as they had not used the outward flight. (they booked a different one in threat of the strrike that didnt happen). The airline were looking another �350 each from them.

so the "proper airline" sometimes aint the passegers great friend at times either
