JonnyH Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 The only members I know of so far that have booked flights are myself, SteB and Lee but I'm guessing a lot of people had to wait until today to find if they could get the time off work. I'm going with Lee though I don't know any details. I'm leaving it all to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously do recommend the tours and if they are free, then i'll be back in line!! Anyhow, it should be a good couple of days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 I'm not keen on Guiness. Now, if you could organise a free tour of the Jameson's factory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Free factory tours all round?? When I went round (admittedly some years ago) we all got a complementary half. That was it. I think the dream of scooping pint pots into a great big vat of free Guinness and getting pissdd for nowt are just that. (dreams) Sorry folks.

Tris Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 These days you get a whole pint for "free" And then sit in the bar and get several more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 My flight's been booked for an age (same one as Jordan he imforms me), but I need to sort accomodation. When I'm in Dublin I normally stay in the Trinity Capital (next to the Fireworks Nightclub) but then it normally paid for by either work or a customer and is a little dearer than I fancied paying. Can anyone recommend a nice, cheap (ish) B&B (or travel lodge or similar) near Temple Bar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTSPOT Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 i heard dublins one big alcohol tour so.................brilliant, does the guiness taste better? "if the shamrocks still there when the pint is finished it was a good pint" so me gran used to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Rich Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Much better hotspot still tastes like liquified crap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Rich Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Just an update on all this. IrishRovers plan to meet up the night before the game(Tuesday) in Buskers in Temple Bar at 8pm. Anybody who is interested is more than welcome to come along. Basic plan is for everyone to meet there, get a few/a lot of drinks in and then head out to the clubs. 5-a-side football tournament to be held in Bray on the day of the game, probably starting about 12, not sure on who has confirmed yet but from what I heard, it's a couple of teams from our lot, NorthernIreland, North and South Lancs, London and anyone else who happens to show up. Anyone can enter a team, if you're interested email cookierovers@eircom.net On the day of the game, we're going to meet up in a pub around the corner from the ground, again if you want, feel free to come along. Let you know more on this when I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 The drinking bit sounds good Dr - I'll be there. Not sure about the exercise bit the day after though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Not flying over until the Weds afternoon, otherwise I'd have been well up for the 5-a-side, and the Tuesday night drinks. On the other hand, having just had 160 Euros evaporate in two nights out on the ale in Dublin, perhaps the less time spent there the better !!

We'll have a team down, but i cant see me making it to the drinking session the nite before as i have to save up the pennies for a holiday and the Robbie Williams concert on Saturday 9th August. We will be arrivinng down early Wednesday 6th August and staying over nite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandevil Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Booked my ticket at last today, will be arriving early Weds morning and flying back the next Monday, so I can enjoy a weekend in Dublin. Nowhere to stay as yet though. If anyone needs an extra player in the 5-a-side am sure I can lend my talents. Would most suit the london team i suppose as I am down s'arfh. Send us a PM if you do.
