Has anyone else had the thought about this being really a home game for ND?

Of the 30K people heading over the pond, how many are really going to root for Navy?

I'm not trying to knock them or anything, but how many local Irish could possibly be fans of a US military academy? Not to mention my other question.

Just seems a little unfair to Navy. A waste of a "home game" if you will.

Completely happy about this by the way. I'd also like to see some sort of breakdown of fans of ND vs the away team for the Shamrock Series games.

Gotta love that Irish hospitality. I expect all if the ND fans going over to be abundantly respectful and to help explain the ever complicated rules of American football for any of those who don't know. Travel with class everyone. We are ND.

Seán, I hope that you get a throng of Irish fans to spend quality time drinking and talking. I wish I could be there. In the meantime:

Last time I was there, I remember getting a little irritated that there were only 2 liquor stores in the whole city. Is that still the case? Promoting the pubs, right?

cheap bus hire in Dublin

hey guys ,if you are making the trip over to our wonderful city why not charter a private bus for the trip???i am a fully licenced and approved bus operator here in Dublin and i have a 17 seater bus with driver for hire....it is much more economical than renting a fleet of cars and i know where all the best pubs and clubs are!!...i also have a permit to use all the bus lanes in the city so you will get where you want much quicker than a rental car.anyway email me if you are interested and i can organise accomadation for you too if you need it!! mckennacoaches@eircom.net cheers!!

The concert will include performances by Brian Kennedy, Damien Dempsey, Eimear Quinn and the High Kings as well as the Notre Dame folk choir and cheerleaders.
