Looks like we're playing a friendly at Cliftonville in Belfast on Monday 15th November,to mark the opening of their new ground facilities.Great name for their ground -"Solitude ".

 

Not sure how friendly the locals will be-I thought Cliftonville were a pro-republican club !

Anyone going.. I wouldn't mind it, depending on flight prices.. I'll have a think about it..

Easyjet..L/pool-Belfast -Monday morning,

Belfast-L/pool-Tuesday morning,

 

?56.return.

Cliftonville is a pro-republican club,but then so is Hibs. Im sure if your sensible and don't do or say anything stupid you will be welcommed. Though it's not something id be keen on it will give you a chane to see Ulster for them who have never been. Highly recommended. Shame it wasn't pre season July time,that would of been a treat.

Thats why the flights are so cheap. Looking forward to Wigan game, sod Northern Ireland.

A few of Atherton's finest will be making the trip

Fancy this one I will be there.

Top place Belfast, the frendliest banter in pubs you will get anywhere. I went a cracking trip to St Pats in the other half, but its cheaper going to Australia nowadays than Dublin.

never ever visited the island. fancy it, will have to see who i can recruit to come with tho?

Mate has just booked for us, ?64 from Liverpool with Sleazyjet, out Sunday dinner, home Tuesday mid afternoon

Belfast is ace, went watching England v Northern Ireland when we lost 1-0

 

Can't see me resisting this one

We're booked into Premier Inn in Belfast city centre ?51 a night, can't wait

Welcome Solitudinarian, I'm looking forward to visiting your gaff, I've never been to Belfast so it should be interesting, there is one fella off here who is taking us on a tour and showing us the high life, you are more than welcome to join us for a beer.

Behave.

Many thanks, though I dare say I'll be working on various bits and pieces in the lead-up to the game. Have you anywhere in particular lined up for a drink? I'm naturally going to suggest our Social Club - our fans always like mixing with opposition supporters, especially on occasions such as this. We played FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Cup a few seasons back and so good were relations between both sets of fans that a few Copenhagen lads are actually coming from Denmark to see us play Newry City tomorrow!

 

On a more general note, I'm always keen to hear what people in England know of Cliftonville. We've been live on Sky Sports a few times in recent years and, having worn my Reds' shirt on a brief spell in England earlier in the year, I was surprised by the amount of people who knew who we were.

 

What's the general consensus among Wanderers' fans... or is this literally the first time you've ever heard of us?

Can't say I follow Northern Irish football, but I have heard of Cliftonville when they got into the UEFA cup etc but thats about it. On a different note are we still affiliated Ballymena FC?

I am fancying this trip... miss the European tours af seasons past.

 

Can get flights for ?50 return from Newcastle

 

How much is the average price of ale over there Solitudinarian?

Get youself booked on a flight Jazza, the cost of beer is irrelevant as long as you enjoy yourself

Would love to do this trip. Imagine Carrickfergus Loyal will be inundated with requests!

Behave.

I was talking to a lad at work today, I obviously knew he was Irish but I never knew where from, I told him that we were playing Cliftonville and he said he grew up near the ground and followed them as a young boy, he goes 'home' to Belfast every fortnight to see his family, he told me about the cheap pub, Kelly's cellars ? summat like that, he said he went in on Saturday and virtually stayed in there the whole weekend.

Sorry double post

Yep, we've booked him, he said he showed you and Smiffs round last time.

I think it's virtually the same as in England.

Yes, I know the place. Never been in it, though, because it's a wee bit out of the road.

 

Anyway, I'll be back soon to bore you all with details over the significance of this match and will hopefully be able to provide some useful info regarding getting around Belfast be it via bus or taxi.
