Poland is where lady luck has placed us

SUPPORTING Ireland at Euro 2012 won’t be cheap, but it will be cheaper than a trip to Ukraine would have been.

Drawing Poland rather than Ukraine took €1,000 off the cost of our trip to Euro 2012, and will likely have the effect of doubling the number of fans willing to travel to about 7,000, with another 5,000 or so coming to support the team from Berlin and other diaspora locations.

Poland was where we wanted to be and Poland is where lady luck has placed us, starting in Poznan on June 10, sauntering 240km up the road to the lively port city of Gdansk four days later, and back to Poznan on June 18.
