Charlie Endell Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Splitties wouldnae make it that far..... LOL Guy up in EK owns a belter - slammed and it can't half shift - no idea what power plant he's got in it but saw it belting up the dual-carriageway past Kirkhill Golf Club at a fair rate of knots. Pretty much decided on Cork - straight from the airport to Clonmel for the evening meeting, off to Dublin the next day, then Cork on the Sunday to round it off.

A Pie Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Booked into trinity college, seems to be the cheapest and quite central 3 of us staying there too, may well be carrying each other there on Saturday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ibis is miles out. Plenty of better options at the same price bracket No decent pubs near by and 30 mins by tram to town If you want a few beers not a good location. Hotel is ok just the location Sounds right but also sounds terrible! May I suggest Tara towers On Meririon road for anyone stuck, 10mins in a taxi to city centre and you are also very close to Ballsbridge for scoops before game. Cheers guys but they'll be no after match beers for us. Do you reckon its as easy to get a taxi from Tara Towers to airport as it would be from Ibis ? My brother is flying approx 7am Sun morning.

Charlie Endell Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) The taxis are horrific - even Flure and Charlie Endell couldnae afford them.Not at all. Chap took six of us from Dublin Airport to Heuston for 27 Euros (£4 each including tip) the other week.

My brother is flying approx 7am Sun morning. You will have no issues in getting a taxi from the hotel to airport - be warned your easily looking at 40 euro for the fare though Equally u cud just get the aircoach which stops off near the Tara Towers and will take ye direct to airport every hours (including 6.46 am) - will cost about 10 eur http://www.aircoach.ie/booking Edited December 4, 2014 by Green_Tide_Rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ankles Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 talking of Taxis , any company able to take eight of us in one vehicle from the airport to College St or will we have to get two taxis and therefore pay more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a blinder as we were running late and only had half an hour to get from Dublin Airport to Heuston to catch a train (and we still had to buy our train tickets)!

Irishandproud Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Cheers guys but they'll be no after match beers for us. Do you reckon its as easy to get a taxi from Tara Towers to airport as it would be from Ibis ? My brother is flying approx 7am Sun morning. You'd fly out to the airport on a Sunday morning at that time, no bother to ya, taxis ain't cheap in the capital mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishandproud Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Lads this may or may not be of use to you lot but the FAI are doing a 3 game package deal for scotland Poland and England games, it's €120 for the lot and while I know it may not be ideal it's at least could be an option for some of you.

I think with the prices these days for one ticket alone, this is a pretty good deal for those on low/no points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Question for GREEN TIDE or IRISH . We need 8 tickets , 2 of us should get Scotland end , another 2 have bought Abbey Travel, but expensive . I am panicking about how to get another 4 . I looked up the Polish ticket sale and noticed there were 3 presales the week before the public sale i.e. Presale then Promotion presale then Offer presale ( don't know what any of that means ). Is there any way to get in on the Presale for the Scotland game with say a Dublin address ? Or failing that could you guys get us a couple of tickets ?( Sorry a bit cheeky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmcca5 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Staying in the Inn on the Liffy, looks good and central, basic but suits my budget! Any good pubs round there? What's Fibbers rock bar like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's Fibbers rock bar like?Think that's on Parnell St is it? Absolute kip if that's the one and not in a great area. Stay South side of the Liffey would be my advice. Harcourt St, Camden St and that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
