Finnegans is the better of those pubs and I'd imagine where most Irish will go. 

There is two others, the shamrock and the aforementioned O'Malley. Both of those pubs are as Irish as any other pub in Baku, not one Irish drink on tap

We were the only two people in one of them, until a cat walked in. The other was popular with British oil workers, can't remember which was which.

We were in the Hops Bar that has a load of football scarves and a pool table and a black cat hopped up on the bar counter and scared the sh*te out of my mate when he was sitting at the bar. Have a couple of photos of the poxy cat on the bar counter and lying down on the floor interrupting our pool game. We were the only ones drinking in the bar as there was no one around.

Once the old and vulnerable are vaccinated by end of February there should he no problem, deaths and icu cases will fall to virtually zero and no one will be counting covid numbers anymore. Everything will be back open by may/June so I'd book any of the trips away without hesitation.

Yup 5% minimum


400 for Luxembourg then Shocked

They might have their new stadium open by then. So we'd be getting a massive 469 tickets... 
 
How the fook does it cost 80 million to build a 10k stadium. They must be awash with money. 

They are. And nothing is cheap in Luxembourg either.

If by some miracle all the old and vulnerable are vaccinated by the end of February and icu cases and deaths fall to zero, then surely everything will be back open in March and you can book a trip to Serbia? 

In order for this to happen by end of Feb you need the EU to approve the Oxford vaccine AND others that can we stored in a normal fridge in the next week or so and then let the drug companies race against each other to get the vaccines to the paying governments/public. 
But even then it will take more than 2 months!

Well lads. Long term season ticket holder here but finally going to start making some away trips. Looking at Baku. Taking into account the risks involved with covid/conflicts out there, do ye still think the Irish will travel in relatively decent numbers? Cheers Smile

P.S feels good to finally post after years of lurking.

I have no idea to the questions you ask as will most people on here whether they think we can travel or not, except that if we are allowed travel about 1000 max will travel.
What I can answer is that when you do get to your first away you will be hooked and feel welcome by all. 
Hopefully that's in Baku all we can do for now is live in hope.

Judging by the increase in accommodation prices you would think we had 6000 traveling, I'd imagine it will be closer to 600. There will be tickets for everyone.

I’d say hold off booking flights to Baku at the minute but there will be no worries about tickets in a 60k plus stadium you will be grand as we are guaranteed 3k tickets. Hopefully things will be ok by next October to travel. The conflict seems to have settled down so fingers crossed all will be grand. I’d say most agree that Tbilisi has been the best trip of the last few games and Baku is certainly the trip that most are looking forward to already. No harm booking accommodation if you want to but make sure it’s free cancellation. Have a 7 bedroom apartment booked myself for only €270 for two nights.

What's the most we ever brought to Tbilisi? Can't see numbers being much greater than that.

The 2nd visit under MoN in 2017 was the most I reckon. The place seemed jointed with our fans compared to other visits in recent years.

Maybe 1500 - 2k. Could be wildly wrong though.

I’d say it was closer to 1000-1500 in 2017 although it was more than last year anyway. The fact we have never played Azerbaijan gives it more of a novelty factor since we had Georgia a good few times recently.

Just saw that, silly money in some places, would imagine most hotels are closed so they've nothing up yet on the usual sites. Will wait for a while before booking anything and see how things play out over the next while

Always thought was more in 2019 than 2017 in Tbilisi. Both sh*t results anyway.
