Re: Preseason Fixtures
I’m in the process of booking Dublin hotel for the AC game. Funny how the hotel rates I’m looking at are almost double the weekends before and after. Why’s that I wonder?
Has the kick off time been released yet? If it’s favourable I may stay in Belfast and travel down.

Re: Preseason Fixtures
Personally I'd stay outside the city, somewhere beyond the M50 corridor at least, I'm sure some of the Irish boys on here would know a few places you can get in by bus or train within 30 mins.Orange Box wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 2:00 pm I’m in the process of booking Dublin hotel for the AC game.

Re: Preseason Fixtures
Been a while since I’ve stayed in Dublin OB as it’s such a rip off but I’ve stuck it on our group chat to see what they come up with. ATM we’re planning to take the train and stay one night but it’ll depend on the kick off time if it would be feasible for you to get the train back to Belfast after the game. Will have a better look when I get home tomorrow & PM you if I get any info.
Anyone out there find any details on kick off/ when tickets go on sale would be appreciated as well.
Football is 90% mental, the other half is physical.

Re: Preseason Fixtures
Buses go Belfast - Dublin - Belfast 24/7 as they serve Dublin Airport as well as the city centre OB.
2 hours journey, about £15 each direction and you can book in advance.
Tip of the day - the Dublin Express service has a loo on board, not so sure about Translink.
