It (almost certainly) won't happen, but the ride is great fun!

That was my intention initially too but when they started asking for passport numbers I text my mate and we said we'd go if either of us get picked
Yes we even doubled up to increase our chances

Did you add in the group ID in case you all get picked? I just went for category 4 tickets I couldn't justify spending more than 70 on the match ticket

We applied for cat 4 but ticked the box to accept cat 3 as well, if Liverpool are there I'd pay that
Looked at flights though, about €700 return from Dublin 😬
RE: Soccer Chat - Zaph - 25-04-2022
Leeds playing Palace in 20 minutes and all Sky have is Jamie Carragher shiting on about Liverpool. Did they not do enough of that yesterday?

Mate is thinking about leaving on the Friday and driving there though honestly, the flight would be cheaper with the price of diesel at the moment!!

Is anyone an Ireland season ticket holder?
...that wouldn't be using their code for extra tickets to the Scotland match?
Just trying to skip the queue if I can

Would driving and ferry be affordable even though I think driving in France is stressful
RE: Soccer Chat - Kol - 29-04-2022
Whats the story with flights, price gone up becuase of the match? Could probably fly into somewhere close enough and get a train, brussle maybe.
Apparently I could drive there in 17hr or walk it in 14 days, I dont think Google has seen my fitness lately

Yeah, flights from here were around €500-€700 return. Far was direct flights on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. Paris is well connected though, so there should be plenty of clever ways to do it
RE: Soccer Chat - Zaph - 29-04-2022
Cheap flight to London and get the train to Paris?

A lot of the British will be travelling that way. Can they put train prices up like they can flights?
RE: Soccer Chat - E.N. - 29-04-2022
For example, a very early flight to Nîmes is €20
Direct TGV to Paris in three hours then
I travelled around on French trains for the euros, they're great
That said, if I get lucky in the ballot I reckon I'll treat myself to a direct flight 🤞

Of course they will. Doh! And yeah, I'm sure Eurostar prices are probably variable, or they'll find a way to up them for the game.
RE: Soccer Chat - Necro - 30-04-2022
As much fun as the driving thing would be if we get tickets we'll probably do the Nimes thing. Though as a result of this entire whisper of a match in Paris I've already had to agree to Eurocamps there next year so the missus can go😂
Tbf the kids will be a good age for a day trip to Euro Disney and I won't be bankrupt having to pay for accomodation in one of their resorts

Can't believe we are so close to top-4. Would never have us anywhere near when the season started.

At this rate you could get third!

I never had a dislike for Arsenal, I wasn't watching football back in '89 and they disrupted Man Utd's dominance in the late 90s early 00s while Spurs have gotten cocky too much in recent years. Ideally though, Chelsea will finish 5th

Same for me Kol, wasn't following the Premier League (or whatever it was called back then) back in the 80s, so don't have the references.
Even the rivalry with Spurs wasn't really in my radar until the first time I did the Emirates Stadium tour and our guide commented on it.
The only thing I care is that Liverpool wins. That will give us the option of playing for 2 results in the NLD.
RE: Soccer Chat - Necro - 03-05-2022
Ticket application unsuccessful for CL Final. Hopefully someone else is successful!
RE: Soccer Chat - Kol - 03-05-2022
I didnt apply, odds of getting picked was likely very small.
I read they are increasing the CL and want teams to play up to 10 group games. Thats madness, teams would need 2 full strenght teams these days to compete in everything.

RE: Soccer Chat - Zaph - 04-05-2022
Absolutely mental tie, both matches. City had plenty of chances to kill it off and didn't take them, so very little sympathy for them.
RE: Soccer Chat - ShaneU - 04-05-2022
Glad I actually have a team to cheer for in the final
