Two options as far as I can see



Ryanair
Dublin – Bristol 23/09/06 Depart 06:30
Bristol – Dublin 24/09/06 Arrive 23:45

€60 a head


Or

Aer Lingus
Dublin – Bristol 22/09/06 Depart 14:00
Bristol – Dublin 24/09/06 Arrive 16:25

€54 a head

My Mummy's from Wales, and your disparaging remarks have all been noted.


That said, it is a dump, and I have to pay to get in. That's ridiculous. They should be giving me money to thank me for going.
I thought you said you were Scottish?
Mummy's Welsh (which is why I hate the English), and Daddy's Scottish (which is why I found it really, really, really hard to shout at Chris Patterson to miss on Friday night)
Welsh mother, Scottish father, living in England and supporting an Irish team.
So who will you be shouting for in the World Cup?

Fortunately Scotland and Wales are in different pools!

I've got tickets for the Welsh games, so them, but I'm still trying to get tickets for Scotland v the ABs. Not happy that I have to be cheering for that Henson idiot, but maybe his ego will be a bit under control by then.

Scotland Wales games are always interesting though, and I always cheer on whoever's playing England (though I did cheer them on in the RWC final)

Is that a swim up bar I see in the photo of the Diplomat Hotel? Or is it just wishful thinking?

Apple was just on to me and the branch dont have tickets for the game. I've tried to buy tickets on line on the Scarlets site, but to no avail. So I've sent them an email asking if we can buy match tickets outside the ground. I will let you know what they say.

Anyone else got any info on match tickets?
