    I imagine they'd hope to get a ticket and if they didn't the
    atmosphere in the towns in great if they don't manage it.

    I know several people who have travelled to foreign places as my team
    were playing there and managed to pick up tickets while they were
    there.

    On one trip to Amsterdam where one of our crowd didn't get a ticket
    and watched the game in a bar in town. from the tales (even though we
    won) he had a better time than those of us who went to the game.

    quoted. Which is which I couldn't tell.

    I had a fixed term, non-renewable contract in a university notorious
    as a crap employer [1]. Dublin was, and is, ridiculously expensive
    (think London prices for housing without London weighting on pay),
    with a rubbish transport system and health service (do people here
    know how grateful they should be for the NHS, even in its current
    state). If I had had a permanent job, or some hope of getting one, it
    might have been worth sticking it out. I didn't, so I left three years
    before the end of my contract. As it turned out, there was a hiring
    freeze around the time my contract would have ended, so I would not
    have had a permanent job anyway.

    1: I know somebody there who is currently working as a researcher on
    quite a high salary. He has got a lecturing post and has been told
    that he will start, like all new lecturers, at the bottom of the
    appropriate scale---a 10-20k pay cut.

    See the Republic isn't so great! or rather it is for a few Irish people
    who have made huge money and a lot of windblown who have come in with
    the Financial Sector and a lot of money.

    Actually, it is very good for those people who managed to keep it
    together during the 1980s, which were truly, truly shite in Ireland,
    because they have their mortgages paid off and they have well-paid
    work. If you have some skills and you want to work, you can find work
    in Ireland. The problems come from the living expenses and the general
    aggravation of living in Dublin or, worse, commuting into Dublin from
    80 miles away (the Dublin commuter belt now includes Belfast).

    It was? damn
    First business we got involved in (Croft Communications) was the year
    Guerin got hers (1). Things were deffo looking up by then.
    So you had to start from a kinda middle class situation.
    It is certainly a prime example of unfettered Capitalism (greed)

    Half a pisstake: it's still economically better than Norn Iron.
    Not really: when I think of `mortgages paid off', or at least well on
    the way to being paid off, I'm thinking of people like my
    mother. Anyone who got through the eighties, had a job, and had bought
    a house before the mid nineties is sitting pretty.
    And you object to capitalism?

    Unfettered? of course. My business politics are way left.

  13. And Carlow/Kilkenny for the past few years, ffs. An 80 mile commute,
    while exceptional, isn't all that big a deal on UK motorways, but is
    shite on the main roads here, though things are/have improving,
    depending on the route.
    I don't visit Dublin much, but the past few times I left Dublin at
    commuter hometime to get back to the South East I was in the same group
    of vehicles all the way down country, ~100miles.
