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 !

There is a blanket ban

Biff and Ruth will be gutted; let's hope Werthers are still allowed

Gud 'un SG

Carrick, how would we go on with flags? or are we as well leaving them at home

 

 

 

Might be a good idea to leave your loyalist ones at home..

 

There is a blanket ban on football tops being worn in all bars in Belfast however i'm sure you'll be ok in their social club.

 

Ta mate, thanks for the info re football tops.

Unless your planning on going over the border that will still be the case!

Go on. Is Norn Iron not actually Ireland? Bastards, I went to Coleraine and visited Giant's Causeway and the Bushmills distillery a few years ago and could have sworn it was in Ireland!

I'm with Flybe. I got free flights but had to pay taxes etc. There may be no free flights left. I'm thinking of staying at the Travelodge.

Have you got a loyalist card?

No but I've got a Tesco loyalty one.

That's not strictly true, I think it's just something publicans say to stop Celtic and Rangers fans going mental at one another.

 

Obviously, though, there will be some pubs here and there who associate football shirts with riff-raff and would be a bit arsey about letting you wear them but, let's be honest, I can't see a Bolton top sparking much ire over here (that said, I know of someone who has divided loyalties between Cliftonville and Wigan...)

 

As has been said, however, our Social Club will be open on the day of the game and you'll be made more than welcome in there.

Oh aye, almost forgot...

 

I'm not sure how feasible this would be for those of you travelling over but Cliftonville are currently on the look-out for young Mascots to lead the players onto the pitch. If any of you are bringing kids with you then you might be interested in having a look here: www.cliftonvillefc.net/boltonmascots.

Reet, sorted with free accommodation in Portadown, and free travel. Really looking forward to this trip now

Just put it to the committee, and Th'East Midlands Whites are registering a definite interest in this one

That's a lot more than I'm paying.

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.

 

Didn't the great Gerry McElhinney play for Cliftonville?

 

OC is a double left footer as well, though I was surprised to see him play table tennis right handed against Chris Kamara.

Correction, I have looked him up. It was Distillery.

Arrived in Belfast met the advance party pud, p gerard etc been warned to get out of Cliftonville sharpish after the game, think we will wander down to the student area later.

Has anyone an idea of the Bolton team line up yet? And don't say the reserves!
