Does anyone on here actually go to the away matches.

So we need to have a collection to make sure you attend the next 2 home games and possible playoffs.

Missed Bulgaria (in Australia) and Cyprus (cashless).

Without wanting to count my chickens, I'm saving for the play-off.
Sarajevo is the dream location. I'd love to leg it down Sniper's Alley dodging imaginary bullets !

Apart from one 'refusnik' who declined Cyprus, full attendance for our crew of 4 for all games home (Croke Park and Thomond Park) and away.

Ditto. Well almost, except Georgia!
But only because was already in Croatia!

Good to put a face to the name Neil in Cyprus , I see that your leg is still not 100%

Save your pennies. Ireland won in Cyprus without me, so the curse has been lifted.

As I said, was at all the qualifyers except away to Cyprus. Will be at both home matches in October and very likely the two play-off games. I too would like Sarajevo. With Stockholm or Athens the next best.

Likewise Claret. Always great to meet sound heads who have a passion for football. Ahh leg is coming a long. More operations due but could be a lot worse.

That operation is not on the leg it's to get his wallet opened

Keane wouldn't have said a word at that meeting if he had to go home to my dog back in 2002!!!

To be fair I get plenty of passes out for the home games and going back to see Mayo in the football so I haven't dared try and take the mick by going to all the away games as well this time around

. I used to bring her along to the away games and make it a holiday (go for at least 5 days) but those days are long gone with the arrival of the canine. Somebody has to look after it and I wouldn't put it in kennels.

I suppose different strokes for different folks but I save my looking after the dogs, for the football trips themselves.

you won't be saying that about the local woman if we draw Sweden in the play offs!

I'd sell my dog to go to that away game!!!!

made all bar montenegro this time. has to be the best qualifying group for class trips ever.

3rd time in Napa and its a dead on spot loved it.

**Keen2win** · 13/09/2009, 6:17 PM

When I'm older I intend to go to a lot of the away matche and very few home ones!
