What match are you looking for a ticket pal?
The Sweden game pal, heading over with three others and they are all sorted. Confident enough I’ll pick one up out there, won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get one anyway!
Short week in work and over to London on Saturday morning. Find a pub for the day and set up base camp - Kilkenny v dubs in hurling and Russia v England on after it. C’maaaaaaan

Copied and pasted from the YBIG forum. I am not really that pushed about hanging out at an Irish bar all weekend (except maybe to catch Limerick v Tipp). But if you were really on a budget, it sounds like once you’ve a plastic cup - you should be able to drink cans on the sly
_Some info below from The Connemara too. The Connemara is the largest Irish pub in Bordeaux_:
They have in fact agreed to block the roads in front to allow for thousands of Fans to gather outside The Connemara. Beer will be served in re-useable sturdy Souvenir Cups.
There will be a “deal” for the most consumed drink (from our experience with travelling fans) of a tray of FIVE pints of lager for 20€ (including the 1€ souvenir cups free) This represents a 50% reduction on the price of lager at the Stadium and Fan Zone … it’s even worse in Paris.
All other prices as usual (and no Happy Hours during the Euros) We have invested over a hundred grand in modernising the bars and beer equipment : beer cellars of over 400 kegs and added cooling equipment to deal with the numbers.
Coke and Sodas on draught 4.50 a Pint
Most basic spirits (4cl) 6.00
Jaegerbomb 2cl 5.00
Also some takeaway deals from the Snack Bar only with Sandwiches, Curry & Chips, Chili & Chips …
Takeaway drinks from the Snack Bar (all in PINTS : 50cl) :
Sodas (Coke, Zero, Fanta, Sprite, Nestea) 3.00
(cold) Mineral Water 1.50
… plus the draught beers on tap at the Snack Bar :
Kronenbourg Lager (4.90) 5 Pints = 20€
Guinness Pint 7.50
Magner’s Pint 6.50
The police in Bordeaux have always been great with Fans - unlike the Spanish, or Eastern Europe where they seem to love a confrontation - and will be ok with lads drinking in PLASTIC cups. But don’t act the bollocks with them (they’ve just had a month of Strikes, then Floods) or you will be locked up for the duration !

30 degrees in Paris today. Absolutely beautiful weather and due to continue. I stayed up around the Pantheon, breakfast of a crepe, coffee, and a fresh orange juice cost me 8.90. Lunch of steak chips and salad and desert was 19 euro. Both represented good value. Wasn’t drinking but I noticed that a bottle of Peroni was 7€ and a pint of Kronenbourg was 6. Was in a brewpub last night where I understand that the pints of the house brew were 6€. Again didn’t taste it but I’m told it was acceptable as craft beers go. None of the above struck me as exorbitant by Dublin standards.

Quite busy in work so I’m not going to get a chance to consider my fashion and accessories for the trip before Friday.
I had it fully examined three weeks ago,

‘Make sure you have a plan in place for terror attack at the Euros’ - security expert
If there is some kind of blast or something like a shooting, take cover. Get out, and down on the ground until you can figure out what’s happening, if that’s possible.
Are lads packing their iodine tablets?
Right now, I would have much greater confidence about an event of that nature being held in the UK than I would in France, or Belgium or any other part of continental Europe.
Will fellas life insurance pay out if they get blown up?
Doubt it. Probably be seen as suicide such is the near guaranteed probability of getting blown to bits over there.

Anyone going to one of those fanzones would want their head examined. Much easier target for Muslim terrorists, waltz into a crowd of drunken, slobbering micks with explosives strapped to their chests and blow them to kingdom come.

ISIS have gone quiet lately I’d say it’ll cut loose in France - will make for a good segment on ‘reeling in the years’ though in years to come, keano scoring the winning peno in a shoot out followed by a load of paddies getting blown up
