If we beat you guys and draw away to Serbia (or the reverse) - there might even be a call to move it to the Millennium Stadium. Although, I imagine, it probably wont move. If we take all six points, I will be surprised if it doesn't move to MS. As the interest will be massive, first entertaining Austria at MS in September and then you lads in October. If we only take one or two points from next two matches, it will stay at CCS. As far as I understand it, we must give 60 days notice, so the decision is going to be based on our league position following the June match in Belgrade. Edited by manulike - 24 Feb 2017 at 10:28pm |

I hope the stewards have a bit more cop on now than they did for the friendly over there the last time, real idiots

Alright lads. I'm from Cardiff thought I'd share a bit about the places to head etc. I appreciate it's very early but I'll do it now in case you beat us next week and I won't want to talk to you then!!
The town centre is compact- all the bars are walking distance, so it is great for a pub crawl. Unfortunately the game's on a Monday night, by far the worst night out unless you're a student. Sundays can be ok though. The main nightlife area is top of St. Mary's st / mill lane. There's too many to list, yes there's load of chain bars but there are some good spots. Brewhouse is becoming a favourite and usually have some good bands in there. Kiwis is a Cardiff institution, usually a grab a granny type place but not sure about Mondays. If you want cheap pints outside of wetherspoons then Mary's (gay, but a great laugh) or The Borough (will remind you of star wars, but the bar on there probably had nicer bogs) are both dirt cheap. Of course just off just St Mary st. is Caroline street or Chippy Lane if you're not from Cardiff (or Chip Alley if you're a f**king retard!) Which is basically a health hazard but tastes good after a good swish! There's a banging all night steak house on there called Charleston's. On Westgate st. There's a few craft brewery places for the posers, sorry hipsters amoungst you. There's also a good pub called the Queens Vaults. There's the Bierkeller outside gate 6 of the stadium on wood st. Three bars in one,huge screen in there for those without a ticket. The live lounge has been mentioned and yes that is still a good night in there. There's a few bars around that area as well (just off queen st/ greyfriars Rd) If you want to head towards the stadium for a pint your best bet is to jump on the #17/18 bendy bus from Westgate st (outside the millennium stadium) tell the driver Canton and it's a quid. Takes about 10min Canton has some good boozers and will be buzzing as the game nears. Canton cross, Ivor Davies (wetherspoons) Admiral Napier, Corporation, Canton, Butchers, Vic park, The Clive - there's plenty of choice. Also loads of food options (think more ethnic takeaway than Michelin star though!) Just follow the crowd to the ground - you can't miss it. (5-10min walk) If you're struggling for a hotel then I wouldn't worry- Cardiff's homeless problem has got so bad lately you can just doss down on St Mary st. and no one will bat an eyelid. ( I know of at least 2 Munster fans that did that when they won the HEC) Anyway, sorry if I bored you see you in Dublin next week! Nervous already. Edited by Jdb1979 - 16 Mar 2017 at 10:09pm |

Didn't have any bother with stewards but tickets were a balls there. Told there were no tickets being sold to Irish fans and we watched a family of 4 get turned at the ticket office. Sent one lad who had a posh northern accent up and he managed to mumble his order without sounding too Irish and got us tickets into the home stand. As soon we got into the stand the stewards took us straight back out, through a tunnel and over to the away stand and we couldn't believe how empty it was.

They wouldn't let St Tom in to that game, after much negotiations, and the input of JMG and the Irish Copper with the fans, and his Welsh counterpart who was actually English, they compromised and once Tom drank a coffee in front of them and I signed a form taking responsibility for him, they let us in but then frog marched us to the bar, telling them not to sell Tom a drink, and I was only allowed buy one drink. The Irish copper even told the stewards Tom was sober compared to a lot of trips A great trip apart from those stewards

Anyone who had been planning to use Dempsey's Irish Bar as a hub...it's closed and is now reopening as Gareth Bale's bar "Elevens".

I can see this becoming a new standard excuse every time someone is asked where they got some dodgy or sleazy looking link or 'story'. |

Well lads, first time posting.
Wanting to get more involved in going to away games (have never been to an away game). Was thinking of going to the Moldova or Georgia game, but with both work and financially not plausible at those times. So myself and one of the other lads are trying to get to Cardiff for the game their to gain a little experience for possibly going to other away games and maybe even Russia if we qualify. We all have to start somewhere. So we have a price of in and around 300 at the moment. Flying into Bristol from dublin on the sat and back on the Wednesday,for just under 90, and getting the bus to Cardiff and back. Was looking at hotels,but we are deciding to go the Airbnb route as it's cheaper,more central and you get a full apt or whatever. The problem is the tickets, when do they go on sale? As in is it generally 3 weeks beforehand or what? Cause I'm guessing their Will be a mad rush for tickets judging by the way the group looks now. And it's not like we know people who get tickets so we are just going to be hovering over the website or whatever till we can buy and hope to land some. Do you do that through the away portal ya? And let's say tickets get sold out before we can grab 2, how much around will we be looking at paying either before we go or over their? Thanks in advance |

O and also, is it always a "gamble" to book flights and accommodation before you get a ticket to avoid the high prices?

You almost definitely won't get away tickets, they'll go to people who have been to aways before and even then not all of them will get tickets I'd imagine Georgia flights aren't much more than what you're saying, bemuch . Cheaper there and you'll get a ticket |

You have probably picked the worst game to go to as your first game with a view to getting tickets. For this campaign there was no issue with tickets for any of the games and there won't be an issue with tickets for the Georgia game either. However like Scotland away, Wales will be tight for getting tickets even for those who have been to two aways in this campaign and to the euros etc, unless you possible know someone in the football family or in a supporters club that is perhaps not as strict with their rules as others. As others have said register etc. But i don't fancy your chances of getting a ticker based on your posts above. |
