You'd have to imagine Rome would be on that list of venues No game in Florence either ? That'll be in the running as well you'd have to think

True haven't played there since Malta in Sept 2015

Last time time they were involved in a playoff it was Naples

Elastic waisted clothes are at must cos the food is only to die for.
A comfortable pair of shoes / trainers.

There's a metro opp the Colosseum so start there and onto the
Romans forum which is nearby. Then Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II. All are on the same stretch of road.

The Pantheon, Spanish steps, trevi fountain and Piazza Navona and the Vatican.
There's an Irish bar across from Monumento a Vittorio, called Scholars.

If you are interested you should go to The Forum, just across the road for the Colosseum.

Go and see the Colosseum but do NOT get a photo taken with the lads dressed as Centurians/Gladiators outside.
We did last year, using my own camera, it took about 30 seconds, I went to hand him a few quid and he said "there are 4 of you...at €10 each that is €40!!!!
I had a huge row with him, I threw €4 in coin on the ground and stormed off, he followed me, the wife and 2 young kids spitting at me and calling me a pig.
When we got home I emailed the Rome/Italian tourist boards, the Rome police (who did email me back and said they would look into it) and the Irish Embassy (who said "we hope it didn't spoil your stay, but as you have already contacted the local police we will leave it at that - i.e. do sweet FA about it).

Happy anniversary lads!
