Topic: Ireland Vs Wales Posted: 11 Jun 2007 at 12:34pm |
Sound lads, thanks for the tips. I spent 450 on flights so im not impressed to hear the count got it for 240! Couldnt get a flight on the thursday out of prague so we're staying an extra night....not that i'm complaining. I know it's a good while away but i booked the boat for the wales game. A little tip for yous - get the boat from rosslaire to fishgaurd instead of dun laoighaire to hollyhead cos my mates ma who works in stena said the connecting train from hollyhead takes an age to get to cardiff unlike the connecting train in Fishgaurd. We're getting the 9 o'clock sailing from rosslaire on the friday morning and coming back sunday evening. There's a a gang of us as it only costs €78 for boat n train....unfortunately half of them are, as one of the other lads already said, "prawn sandwich fans"

The boat from Rosslare takes 3 hours i think. Looking at the timetable from Stena, if you get the 9 o'clock sailing from Rosslare we end up in Cardiff for 16.10. I got this timetable from my mates ma but I reckon if you check Stena's site you should be able to look up the timetable for yourself. She did however tell me, for some strange reason, that you cant book the boat over the net. Maybe it's to do with the fact that it's not till November and it's too far away to book it right now...

would be a right sickener to turn the germans slovaks czechs and cyprans over and then lose to the bloody welsh !

Roger, if we turn the germans, slovaks, czechs and cypryans over we'd be through regardless of the welsh result! but being able to turn all those sides over is very optimistic of anyone - when was the last time Ireland beat a decent side away from home in the qualifiers??....it's been a long auld time! so for us to go over and beat both the slovaks and czechs in their own backyard would be pretty incredible....but with a little help from travelling thousands anything is possible

in fairness HM i would settle for a loss against the slovaks and beat the czechs , two draws might not be enough.. its a long time since we beat anyone decent away alright but its a record that has to go sometime...
