ONLY JOKING:):) good enough idea...personally with the above being a bit tounge in cheek ...for some it is off putting. unfortuantly we cant be trusted so id offer dublin as better but would love to see something like that happen in belfast and would give it my full support gl with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: come to belfast? Belfast is an ideal venue for a PL game. Anyone that I know who has been recently has had raring reviews about it. It really is an up and coming place for a weekend as the bars, nightlife and restuarants are always packed to capacity. I could always bring you all to watch Glentoran..... on second thoughts, you probably want to enjoy yourselves. There's a lot happening with PL over the coming months so I would leave it a few months. Perhaps someone could suggest a date, even if it has to be early next year? Plenty of time also gets people cheap flights and time to organise decent accomodation. I'll more than gladly help anyone sort things out. By this time, hopefully, the Cavendish should be open again. I've never been but from all reports I've heard it is one of the best Poker Clubs on these Isles. Even if its not open there are other choices and if we're really desperate we could even hire a bar and organise it ourselves. What's everyone think? PPS, if you think its difficult or expensive to get to, most airlines offer cheap flights and there are flights from every part of the country. and remember.... Guinness is good for you :beer :beer :beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie-p Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: come to belfast? well said ovalman:) loads of cheap hotels and flights would be no more than £40 return from mainland... heres a few links about smellfast http://www.gotobelfast.com/ http://www.belfastfestival.com/ http://www.mybelfast.co.uk/index.html http://www.belfast.co.uk/ http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmal76 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: come to belfast? before anyone gets worried about coming to belfast it is actully deemed to be one of the safest cities in europe.yes it has its bad areas but dosent every city,all of which can be easily avoided(although you can do a bus tour of them if you fancy it:ok)ovalman jon and me do know someone who is a regular at the cavendish so we might be able to get something sorted.failing that there are a few other places im sure would take in the pl rabble:lol.we are gonna leave it for a few months to give us time to get things sorted.this is just a wee thread to see if there was a general intrest.cheers.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
