has this game been confirmed as being held in Vienna? I checked with FAI yesterday and they said venue is still to be confirmed. OEFB and FIFA websites don't list Vienna either. I've been hearing Salzburg and Klagenfurt are possibilities.... though it sounds like a lot of people have booked travel to Vienna.....

I just spoke to a guy at the OFB(Austrian football association)he said that they are 90% sure the game will be held in Vienna,the stadium here in Salzburg would be a bit small for a game like this,they only use stadums outside of Vienna for nations with a small fan base,like Kazaksthan etc,the last time we played them the venue was not announced too early either,so go ahead and book Vienna ------------- Nathan Collins - The best Kildare baller since Johnny Doyle! |

Each to their own DD,you go where ever the fook you want ,I am sure you will engage in loads of craic in a little bar full of Austrian aul lads who only speak a farmer version of the German language,and yes,your 2 points contradict each other  , i don't know if you did Vienna away the last time,Charlies did and a burger and pint deal for about 10€ ,the pub is big enough to hold a lot of us,staff are all friendly and English speakers,the food menu is fantastic,the cheapest pint they have on draught is GoldFassel Special for 3.90 Euro, its a local beer, you will do well to find a pint much cheaper pint than that in Vienna,its also close to the tram stop that goes to the stadium.------------- Nathan Collins - The best Kildare baller since Johnny Doyle! |

In Vienna visiting friends about 11 years ago just before Christmas the whole Christmas markets were great. Every single street that has a outdoor bar will sell you Gluvine (Kinder Gluvine for non drinkers) where paid a deposit for a Mug ( Collectible) and then the Gluvine........... bring mug back if want or keep it.

For one night, Pest is probably best. That's on the right (eastern) bank. It's the newer part of town, less hilly, more populated and has more stuff, including the main train stations and closer to the airport. It's not massive city centre either way, and taxies are dirt cheap. Last time we stayed in Aboriginal Hostel. Good oul craic: they had a didgeridoo. ------------- City Till I Die |

Just a heads up, lads. The Welsh FA have informed us today that they have only managed to negotiate a 5% of the capacity at 2776 tickets for our match there next month. Tickets will cost us 26 pounds, and are in the upper tier in Sector F behind the goal - so my binoculars will come in handy for this one! |
Posted By: ConorMac77
Date Posted: 09 Sep 2016 at 10:55am
I thought it was meant to be 10% for world cup qualifiers?  Don't think it'll make much difference to us anyway from what's been said on this and the Vienna travel thread. Seems like we'd be barely bringing even 1k fans to this one. Most likely due to fans spending fortunes on going to the Euros and having 2 other away trips before Vienna and this trip being just 6 weeks before Christmas. Indeed, this is the only away trip I'm getting post-Euros. ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

We were lucky last year, as all the games except Bosnia were a free-for-all, and there was no loyalty points needed. For this Austria game, the FAW have established a three-tier loyalty system: 1/. first week applicants must have a minimum of 2 away games last campaign 2/. in the second week, the applicants must have at least 1 away 3/. after two full weeks, if any tickets remaining - any registered member can apply. Obviously, when gauging the numbers intending to travel (email survey sent to all members as well as all newsletter receivers) they believe that this is the only way to guarantee a fair allocation of Austria away... Must admit that our attendance at our last two away friendlies (Kiev in March and Stockholm in June) was a very miserable 400-450 or so! |
