| If anyone is interested in doing the doubler, flights from Bristol to Warsaw and Katowice on the Saturday after the Wales match around the €40/€45 mark |

| Will probably do the double myself. Unsure if I'd be better off coming home then out to poland say Sunday or like you've suggested straight from over there |

Need a minimum of 6 overnights to do the double. Getting to Poland early will keep the cost down. Venue not finalised yet afaik, although a couple of media outlets here jumped the gun and said Warsaw. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

This looks like one I'll have to skip, booked up for the other 4 aways and a holiday to Vegas and Cancun, it's a shame because I would have opted for Poland ahead of Paris. Still tempted to book a cheap flight to wroclaw early on matchday from cork just in case I manage to swing it later in the year. Should make most cities by kick off from there. ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |

| Think it has to be Warsaw, the Polish FA have an agreement to play in the national stadium only (AFAIK). I've booked flight for morning of match and back next day anyway to Warsaw, €60 return. Aer Lingus seem to have cancelled their Warsaw flight I also notice. |

| At a glance it seems to be competitive games in Warsaw and friendlies move around the country |
Posted By: SuperDave84
Date Posted: 07 Feb 2018 at 11:23pm
Nah, their last game was in Gdansk and the next three are in Wroclaw, Chorzow (effectively Katowice) and Gdansk. They're all friendlies, so the competitive thing *may* hold water, but they seem able to play friendlies wherever they want. Poland isn't like Ireland... Warsaw metropolitan area has a population of about 3 million in a country of 38 million, so less than 10%. Dublin has over 30% of the population of Ireland. If you include outlying counties, it's closer to half. They have much greater incentive (and far better stadiums) when it comes to moving games around. -------------

Hope it is Katowice as have never been in that part of Poland. However it could be anywhere at this stage.

The Poles first game after the World Cup is a ENL game away to Italy. Their next game is the friendly against us and then they have 2 home ENL games in October. If they are contracted to play competitive games is Warsaw, its highly unlikely that our game will be there. And looking at the geographical split for their other fixtures this year - Wroc SW, Chorzow S, Gdansk N my hunch is that it may well be Poznan revisited. Of the other main cities - Lodz, Bydgoscz, Bialystok, Krakow, Lublin only Krakow has a stadium with a capacity over 25,000. Personally would love it to be in Bialystok if only for The Producers connection. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Its only a friendly, there will be less than 2 or 3 hundred at it, if this was a competitive game i would say fair enough, but to go and book a flight at a guess for this especially 8 months in advance for a friendly, is panicking and gobsh*tery. I bet i could book a flight the week of this game for a little bit more. Some lads have more money than brains. ------------- ====#Everywhere you play, We'll Follow==== |

Just looked at the venues for their last six home friendlies and the four they have prior to the World Cup this year and you may get your wish of somewhere new. Probably already posted but for what it's worth their ten home friendlies prior to playing us have been (or will be) in Wroclaw x 3 Gdansk x 2 Warsaw x 2 Krakow Chorzow Poznan

Didn't we play them there in 2004/5? Flew in and out of there for the Euros, had a couple of hours free on the way back. From what I saw a couple of hours seemed like enough although I suppose the areas around train stations in most cities aren't the best adverts for a place.

Poland is cheap enough to get around and actually quick enough if you are going from Warsaw. Krakow is about 2:40, Poznan about 3:15, Wroclaw about 3:30 and Gdansk about 2:50. Now, it's not super fast but it's not awful either. Booking to Warsaw wouldn't be a disaster if it was moved to one of those other places, anyway. -------------

They also have Poland V Chile on June 8th down for Warsaw. Which would be grand if it were accurate, but that game is in Poznan. As funny as it would be to see some of the panickers going off booking Warsaw for our game, yer probably best off waiting on confirmation from the FAI or the Polish FA on this one. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |
