Was in Moscow the last time - don't really fancy going back. A few fans got ripped off by the local police (asking to see their passports and charging them to give them back) and heard there was a bit of trouble with the skinheads in red square. Flew with Aeroflot the last time and the Hotel Rossi was the main base for the Irish fans.
 
Bratislava's a bit of a kip but I'd go back again. Centre was good craic before the beer ran out. No problem getting tickets for that anyway - they only have about 4000 fans to fill a 20000 seater stadium. Vienna's the way to go to get there - only about 40 mins by bus from bratislava.
 
For Skopje, I took the train from Belgrade to Skopje and then went on to Thessaloniki. Fairly straightforward by train and no visas required. I'd recommend going the greek route instead of serbia though.
 
Andorra - I presume they'll play it at the mini camp nou in barcelona - that'll be a great trip. Probably be more Irish fans there than any of the other games.
 
Never been to armenia, know nothing about it.

Was the train from Greece easy enough or sorry to Greece.  Might do it that way myself.

How would you go about getting to thessaloniki if you were going that way to skopje. You can fly direct to skopje from london!

IRISH AND PROUD!
