Looks like Bosnia is probably behind closed doors as well.

It'll be interesting to see what they do if its NI v us in a final up there, open or behind closed doors too ?

I wouldn't be so sure. Ryanair make a decent wedge of money on last-minute bookings and on on-board sales. Both of those are going to take a hit so it could end up costing them more to have the planes in the sky than on the ground, even if they do have to refund everyone.

Cancellation period for my hotel is already gone, so everything is paid up and can't get any money back, so I'm seriously considering going, and bringing my work laptop with me so I don't lose annual leave

If the Slovak government don't want groups of people congregating as they want to prevent the spread of the virus, would it be a bit irresponsible to travel over regardless? 
I'm not saying it would - Merely wondering what people think on this.

No not for me. Take the hit on the flights and cancel hotels. Can't see the point going drinking in Bratislava, think its bit of a kip. Pity bout Sarajevo, cracking trip in 2015.

Best outcome, we win the North win and we get a game in Belfast?

Cancelled hotel today. Paid up front but will get a refund. Have flight booked from Budapest to Sarajevo on the Sunday morning. If we end up playing Bosnia and it's not a closed doors job I’ll figure that out when the time comes.

Taking the hit on flights and some of the Budapest accom with free cancellation expired. Save the annual leave for another time once things settle down. Frustrating to say the least.

I wouldn’t feel very welcome over there. I’d say the locals’ attitude would be much the same as the Irish attitude to the Italians being over this weekend.

Not going. Watching the game in a pub is not worth wasting the Annual Leave over it and risking work telling me to go into self quarantine.

Some of my airlines offering partial refunds on my flights so will take what I can get

Also not going.  Hotel is free cancellation and flights came to 'only' £70 which is the cheapest I've paid for flights for an Ireland away trip since I started going on away trips 5 years ago.  Even then I wouldn't be surprised if Easyjet cancel my flight from Vienna to Stansted due to it's proximity to Slovakia. 
No point in going anyway, to a ghost town where everything (castle, museums etc) is going to be closed .  Absolutely gutted.  I'm not having much luck with away play-offs, am I - locked out of Copenhagen in 2017 and now this. Cry

Had a stag party lined-up in Bratislava the day after the game. No one going to the stag either now. Is Bulgaria any good for a piss-up?
