Cardiff to Brussels on the Friday, Friday night in Brussels, Brussels to Berlin on the Saturday, two nights in Berlin, then Berlin to Wroclaw on Monday. Winner.

£23 Cardiff to London, €69.90 London to Berlin, €20 Berlin to Poznan and about a tenner for the Poznan to Wroclaw train.

If anyone is genuinely interested in this, give me a shout and I'll show you how to book it.

Cardiff to London is about two hours, London to Brussels is about two hours, Brussels to Cologne is about two hours (and you can add a few hours in Cologne along the way and have lunch there, and maybe climb the Cathedral steps), Cologne to Berlin is about four hours, Berlin to Poznan is about three hours (and you could stop there as well) then Poznan to Wroclaw is a couple of hours.

None of those are too long. Having taken most of those trains at different times, I can say there's no issue with any of them. They're all decent quality.

Same as that. Good flight times for scooping too

Some very cheap flight options. Flying back to Dublin via Manchester is very cheap.

Booked Sunday to Wednesday with Lufthansa out of Dublin via Frankfurt (I refuse to travel with Ryanair) for £130, which is buttons. Couple of hours layover both flights but get to Wroclaw and back to Dublin at a good hour. Hotel bang in centre opposite main station for £128 with breakfast. A very cheap trip

Anyone have any idea about hotels here ? Seems to be a big selection. Ideally will want to stay central but it's working out cheap enough

Ryanair would be half that price on the same days too.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

I know, but I just refuse to use them. Can't abide O'Leary in any way, shape or form

I presume there won't be anymore then 500 at this? Loads of accommodation and cheap transport options.

Would have thought there would a few more than that myself. Cheap to get to and cheap to stay in

Now that is a f**king trip. Going to consider something similar closer to the time if I have the days off to take too.

I had an e-mail from FAI today and the ticket office said "We would imagine it is Warsaw but there has been no confirmation as of yet." So, not sure what to make of that one.

Wouldn’t worry. Polish FA announced on their website it was in Wroclaw. Think someone linked it the page before this.

The September fixture hasn't seen huge numbers in a few years, and when you consider things like Wales the week before is the competitive game (also relatively cheap to get to), people under pressure for holiday days, those with children will have back to school time for them, the fact the game is on Tuesday & not a weekend day, I'd say 500 won't be far off at all. Would probably attract a good few European based Irish alright as there are good flight & train connections to Wroclaw. 

Edit; The game is a bit away, but there aren't too many posts on the thread asking about pickpockets, where's the meet up, what hotel are ye staying in, how much is a pint in Wroclaw, do they take euros and all the usual bollix that goes with away games, flights are still cheap, I don't think huge numbers have committed to it just yet anyway.
