Post by: Jay (Team Cannonball) on April 14, 2004, 09:16:41 pm: We watched the republic v spain match in 2002 in a bar opposite the carrefour (across the main road). The owner was a cracking chap who kept plenty of drinks on the house coming. Only one of the three of us was actually Irish but it didn't seem to matter. Scottish is apparently close enough. Not sure about that though.

Post by: Abs on April 14, 2004, 10:42:53 pm: We watched the same game at a bar near the carrefour, it had a tv at the front of the bar with one game on and another in a back room with the Ireland game on... Good crowd in there and very friendly

Post by: Nobby Diesel on April 20, 2004, 02:58:11 pm: Don't know about in and around Le Mans, but if you're on the way back up to the ports, stop in at Rouen.
We always spend the Sunday night there.
There is an Irish Bar, right in the middle of town. Plenty of out door seating in the square and several TV's to watch the game inside.

no need to choose, if enough TV-equipment is available. I will never forget an incredible scene a couple of years ago during world cup time (probably 1990), seeing a bunch of people on Houx Annexe, completely drunken, watching 2 TVs at the same time: a big widescreen TV showing a worldcup football game and another, smaller TV on top of that with the volumne off showing hardcore porn. The bunch in front of the TV sets was waiving and cheering all the time, but it was difficult to say at which program...:-)

Post by: Gilles on April 23, 2004, 04:48:44 pm: With a bunch of friends we're trying to find a private huge place and set up a giant screen to watch this match...

... we probbaly gonna ask a few euros to assist with some beverages included, but not too far of the track.

Anyone interested ? ???

Post by: smokie on April 28, 2004, 06:58:09 pm: I need to be at least as far as Rouen before the match starts. I will be heading off for Calais on Mon am.

Has anyone got any names or numbers of suitable hotels? Around the £30 would so (i.e. not cheapies). I'll also need space to park the car & caravan.

Or suggestions other than Rouen?

Smokie. We are staying at a 'Campanile' (bit like a THF Lodge) at Evreux which is not too far short of Rouen. Web site is www.envergure.fr. Not sure what vacancies might be like now. Best of luck.

This is the hotel in Bernay that you have stayed at I believe. Not sure about the town showing the football but I know the rooms all have TV's. Not as far as Rouen but a very good start none the less.

Rick.

I was going to wait a little nearer the time for that. TV is arranged 28 inch thingy and a set top box. Still trying to find a spare dish , to save you the hassle of finding it a home in the car( wonder what the postal cost would be ? )

How much cord do you have ??? I would need a good few metres, at least 5.

Then its Bring On the French.

Or if it doesnt work i will just tune in the French channels or ......

go and find Gilles !

It shouldn't be a problem (the arm comes off the dish).

I've got a reel of good quality satellite coax cable (40 odd meters) - how much will you need?

Will i need any other retaining bolts or can you supply for the dish ? ( Big Beer favours coming - Real Ales or Wife Beater )

Post by: Lancs Se7en on June 03, 2004, 09:07:17 am: Gilles, did you sort out the large screen near the track of has the idea been put in the bin.
Can we have a survey of where the match is being shown. I was going to head for the Lotus Se7en area but I reckon that the marquee will be full and with over 200 possibles its gonna be bloody hot
