Fans hatch plans A and C for finals

IF Irish fans thought it was pricey getting to Tallinn, they better pray to whatever God they believe in that Ireland get a favourable draw for Euro 2012 come December.

While 10 years of qualification headaches for the Irish team finally ended last night, the nightmare is just beginning for fans.

With jobs and money scarce, the finals will offer the nation a summer of sporting highs and lows. For those intending to travel, December 2 is D-Day.
