I am trying to see if many Irish fans are planning to attend Poland matches (vs Greece/Russia/Czech) in Warsaw/Wroclaw on the days between our own group games.
Am considering going to the game Vs Czech in Wroclaw on the Saturday between our Spain and Italy matches.

Will try and get to the host city at the very least and if lucky pick up a ticket on the day. I'm also going to go to the 1/4s held in Poland but cannot go to the 1/4s held in Ukraine (even if Ireland qualify) because I have to be back in work on Monday morning. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

| That's what I would have said, but I managed to bag some tickets on the portal for the czech/poland game and am trying to figure out if it's something others considered . . .would think it would be good craic with the hosts well up for it and a big travelling support, even if the match standard may not be A+ |

I'm going to Poland v Greece. Bought a ticket on the portal for almost 300 euro incl fees. Flying into Warsaw anyway. Would love to see the other 2 Polish games but going to the other 2 Greek games instead as tickets were easier to source. If you want to see other games it will be much easier to source tickets for the non Polish games. |

I got tickets on the portal for Poland-Greece and Poland-Russia. They will provide an interesting diversion between Poznan and Gdansk. |

i was actually talking to a polish fella whos mad into football and asked him is that a big rival game poland vs russia.funnily enough he said no,its just the hooligans will try and cause trouble and apparently they dont tend to target ordinary football fans just opposing hooligans so anyone going should be safe enough but people in general consider the german-polish games the big one and the russia poland game for him isnt that big of a deal which surprised me. il be up for poland as it ll add to the atmosphere if they re doing well ------------- Wings?

Poland vs Russia is a huge game for most Polish people but Germany is bigger, they would dearly love to beat them both. The right wing politicians will no doubt be spouting sh*te about it and it is some of their dubious groups who might make trouble, embarrassing the country. They have a habit of inciting this kind of trouble. The hooligans would normally love to fight each other but I have heard most hooligans groups are officially neutral for the Euros and wont cause problems - nothing organised anyway and they are well organised. If they wanted a fight I doubt the police could stop them, they would do in a forest somewhere. As an FYI Polish ultras are affiliated to some of the Russian hooligans, for example Lech Poznan's ultras have an alleged relationship with Spartak Moscow and Lech's biggest rivals Legia Warsaw are affiliated with CSKA.
Plus the ultras have drifted away from the national team, the PZPN (FA), the media and the government are openly at war with the Ultras, fans are treated like dogs here. Two year ban and a substantial fine just for cursing at a football match, or making any complaints about the Euro preparations etc In general the people who suppor the national team don't bother supporting local Polish clubs, they would more support English clubs or El Classico. |

Not Poland games, but four of us got cat 3 tickets for Czech Republic v Greece in Wroclaw..... now, hopefully we are in the Czech end rather than the potentially empty Greek one.... although admittedly I'm sure the Czechs would have snaffled any Greek returns. I reckon the Czechs will be better supported than us. All their games are in Wroclaw, which is less than 100km from the Czech Republic (basically the same as us playing a tournament with all our games in Ballymena.... we'd make the effort!). -------------

I know it's the opening match and that's the reason for the premium, but really? I would never pay that much for an opening match. 2 hours of (admittedly well choreographed) sequined types poncing about to someones utterly random idea of national identity set to flashing lights and pumping electronica, when really all 40,000 of the 50,000 people in the stadium really want to see is some football..... Not my cup of tea. -------------

Not too pushed re the opening ceremony lark either. However I do want to go to a game each day there is one in Poland. I fly into Warsaw and justified it as a chance to see the hosts and also that it would cost a fair bit to get to Wroclaw anyway not to mention the hassle. Still crazy money. |

You like football and you enjoy going to the games, you dont have to justify it to anybody. Each to their own and all that.

don't mind but I don't have serious dosh (unfortunately) although I do work hard although afraid to think what percentage of my income goes on football. Haven't added up how much it will cost but doing quite a few things on the cheap. Mainly staying in Lodz and hotels are averaging at less than 100 euro per night for 4 people. I booked Lodz before the draw with free cancellation as it is central and has things like a zoo and waterpark for the kids. Torun or Bydgoszcz are better for our group alone. Flights were 1100 with KLM into Warsaw. Rental car was 400. We have a wider group of 13+ staying in Lodz although some may not make any games. Tickets for the non Irish games are a big expense. I'm mostly going to games on my own or only paying for 1 ticket. I haven't really worked out things like food etc but expect that to be reasonable. It will be a very expensive trip though. |

Was doing a bit of tidying recently and came across my old Britbusters T-shirt. For some unknown reason it doesnt fit.
Also found a newspaper photo from '88, myself and a gang of lads having a few afternoon scoops. Think the photo was taken in Hameln. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |
