Just been having a look on the main chat and sunshine on leith has booked the holiday inn for 44.50 per room plus breakfast .... dont know what kinda rooms they r thou', could be worth a shot? or the Days Hotel? I dont know the where abouts to have a look but days hotel was 35

Whats the thoughts on where we can book up?

Cheers
 
Days Hotel is fairly handy to the venue (you'll need a taxi but it isn't far), Holiday Inn is reasonably close also.

We're starting to get quite a few emails asking about tickets so it's looking like a cracking night!!

Re matches on the Saturday, this is on the BBC site.

March 12th
Ards v Ballymena, 15:00
Cliftonville v Dungannon Swifts, 15:00
Institute v Glentoran, 15:00
Larne v Coleraine, 15:00
Limavady v Portadown, 15:00
Linfield v Omagh, 15:00
Lisburn Distillery v Crusaders, 15:00
Loughgall v Newry, 15:00

Did I hear Glasgowian indicate he fancied going along to Glentoran? (or mibbie I woz just wasted at Xmas night)

If so,then they are away...anyone know where Institute is?
And would going with Hibs tops on be acceptable?

WHIT :shock:

Dunno about anyone else but I'll be at Solitude supporting the Reds of Cliftonville (hangover permitting). Vini & flag are also rumoured to be making an appearance, unless he bumps into some Asda checkout girls the night before that is :razz: :tuttut:
 
Institute come from Derry City, so I think you can forget about that one as it's a good distance from Belfast.

Probably the only ground (in Belfast, anyway) where the Hibs top would be acceptable would be at Cliftonville. Well, it was when we played them there in '95 :bbb:

rin go brgh,

'Fizzure', who uses our forum, knows his spuds when it comes to Irish soccer - I'll ask him to look in on this thread and see if he can help.
 
Anyone going back on the boat could stop off at Larne.

Unless you have a death-wish, I would not recommend anybody to wear anything green to Windsor Park (Linfield).

Solitude (Clifonville) is a very, very Celtic-friendly place, so if that's not your thing, stay away. I certainly will :bye
 
I'll be at Solitude for the Cliftonville game that saturday, youse would be more than welcome. Glens would be out of the way, and trust me, youse wouldn't want to go to Institute. Its near 2 hours on the bus from Belfast, and the place is completely alcohol free, pokey wee ground full of bible-bashers.

Seems to be caught on a sht week for fixtures, the only half decent game is the Limavady v Portadown game, 4th vs 3rd, but Limavady is a brave journey away, and Portadown are the biggest bunch of bitter cnts you are likely to come across, every time we go there we get several bricks through the window on the bus.
 
Oh and if you're worried about wearing a Hibee top in a Smelticy-type area, you'll be grand, I do it all the time up in the bar at the ground, you'll be grand. Solitude is where most supporters of foreign teams come to for a game when their over here, we had 9 Borrussia Dortmund supporters over for the derby on Boxing Day, I've seen St Pauli, Ath Bilbao, Everton supporters at the ground in the last few seasons to name but a few, and Shamrock Rovers bring a crowd up at least 3 or 4 times a season.

Another good reason for me to stay in a bar well away from Solitude :bbb:

The only thing worst than Celtic hooped tops is the sight of Shamrock Rvs fans in hooped jerseys :evil:

Guys, I know most of you that are going to the Belfast bash probably already have their accomadation sorted but if you haven’t and you want to treat yourself or ‘er indoors , you might be interested in the deal on offer from the Hilton Hotel.

This 5 star hotel, complete with fitness room, pool etc are offering 2 nights bed and breakfast with one evening meal for 2 people for stg139 all in. 6 of us already booked in. :mrgreen:
 
A wee bit of tourist info for you all...

If you arrive early enough on Friday or aren't going to the match on Saturday you'd be able to take a tour in.

If you contact the Belfast tourist office* in front of City Hall they can let you know about bus tours or black taxi 'Troubles tours' of the city.

Either would be good but I reckon the black taxi trip would be particularly worth doing as you'll get to see parts of Belfast that even I wouldn't take a car into to show you.

It's a fine looking city these days - you'll see Queen's University, City Hall and the like for yourselves and one of these tours would show you the rest of the city.
