Denmark - Copenhagen is the likely spot? Croatia - Zagreb and Split Switzerland - Basel. Any other contenders? Italy - Rome/ Milan/ Bari/ Turin - anywhere else? I'll want to get the potential logistics sorted early doors on Tuesday afternoon. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Italy the only real one I'd be wary of booking anything before the venue is announced, Would more than likely be the first city you mentioned for the other 3

That's an extra reason why most of us would prefer Denmark - unlike the others, at least we'd know straight away that Copenhagen is nailed on as the host city.  ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

Taken from playoffs thread. Italy have played 3 of their qualifiers in Turin, including a game against Spain, so my guess would be there.

Denmark played their 5 home qualifiers in Copenhagen (38k) Croatia played 4 in Zagreb (35k) and 1 in Rijeka (8k). They've played 2 recent-ish qualifiers in Split (34k) against Georgia (EURO 2012 qualifier) and Italy (EURO 2016 qualifier) Italy played two of theirs in Turin (41 + 29k), Palermo (36k), Udine (25k) and Reggio Emilia (23k) Switzerland also played in a few stadiums; Basel (38k), St Gallen (19k), Lucerne (16k) and Geneva (30k). |

| I wouldn't necessarily rule out any location for our away game - Countries know that any little advantage can help them so having us in an awkward location (Like the Turkey playoff in Bursa) might be very appealing when looking to schedule these games. |

Plenty of cheaper spots on here with around €4 pints or maybe cheaper. also saw a place advertising Tuborg for 10KR (Probably a half pint but still way cheaper than here. Anyway, we haven't even got Denmark, We're talking as if the draw was already made

Not just that, but home support in certain cities is sometimes taken into account eg Ukraine played the home leg of their Euro 2016 play-off against Slovenia in Lviv as they decided they'd get a more passionate atmosphere there than they would have had in Kiev. ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

Now tomorrow most of us will be glued to RTE to see who we get . As for booking flights and hotels etc it's up to you to decide what is best for you . We have the wait and see and wait until Friday lot . The book anything in the country lot . The you must book something within 2 minutes of the draw lot who will have flights so cheap they will pay for flying with them . My fav is one of our lot who has booked flights already to 3 different cities as he is convinced the day we will be playing away . For us well if we have power we will book to what i think the city will be , hey it will not be a €10.99 fight that's for sure , the only country i will sit on the fence is if we draw Italy . One last thing could everyone please wait until we have book flights so we could have ours booked and gloat about it later

Yeah but you're relying on people being organised enough to book those in advance of going. Not everyone will know that. €51 is still pretty expensive, too. Chances are flight prices to Geneva from Dublin are within €51 of those to Basel, at least on some dates. -------------

Dates will be same day as draw, maybe up to 2 hours afterward, when negotiations between FA's and TV companies conclude.

I agree Swanny,San Siro would be deadly,I feel Italy will choose a smaller venue though.
