Out on Tuesday
Back on Friday.

Anyone else on the same roster??

How much did that set you back ?

Plenty of options through Vienna return for less than 1 leg with ryanair.

When the likes of the independent and virgin media are tweeting about us playing Slovakia you can be pretty sure that's who we will be playing

Dan Mc Donnell does say at the end of his tweet UEFA have the power to change this, and they have previous 

If Hungary had of won last night it would of made things messy for uefa and I could of seen them change things around but can't see why they would do it now when things are straight forward. Independent said things be confirmed today 

Hungary winning would have been their preferred outcome. As it stands, there’s 4 hosts in 3 playoffs, meaning they can’t easily assign 1 slot in the draw to each playoff winner.

http://card.visitbratislava.com this card is E22 euro online for 48 hours. Discounts on lots of things, and good for transport.

Here's one worth visiting.


MONASTIC BREWERY

The brewery is situated in the original monastic cellar under the Bratislava Flagship Restaurant. Our unpasteurized Monastic beer 11° of pilsner type is brewed under the watchful eye of master brewers using traditional methods and only high-quality ingredients. Come to visit us and try our craft beer with specialities of homely cuisine. One of a few restaurants in the city serving meals until 24.00.


I'd say there'd be a few casualties after a visit here.

DUNAJSKÝ PIVOVAR RESTAURANT

The first brewery-ship in Europe docked in 2014 on the bank of the Danube. Under the baton of brewmaster is brewed light and dark beer “Patron”, and a variety of seasonal specials. The cuisine consists of a brewing or the classics and homemade specialties. The Brewery also offers accommodation in cabins with view on the Bratislava Castle.- 


Sham, Shoco Superdave and myself could be found hereLOL

Loads travel on their own too. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

As Sham said, most will beering in around the Old Town, avoid the Dubliner though and don't get in a taxi either.

Exactly - I travelled solo to Aarhus & was in Geneva by myself the night before the match before meeting up with mates on the match day.
 
Both times I got chatting with different Ireland fans. Thumbs Up

You have it spot on there. Done a few trips on my own when I was starting out at away games and you get chatting to more people than if you went in a big group. Rock up to some bar and you will have great craic.

What's the problem with the Dubliner and is there a decent alternative for a meet up? We all tend to gravitate towards an Irish bar
Danger here, OH NO
