im heading to rome this weekend for the ireland game with a group of mates and we were wondering if anyone could tell us if there is a beer tent with tv screen at the ground? obviously we'll be wantin to watch the france scotland match after if we win and i heard theres not a lot of pubs near the ground. also, do u think theres a chance of picking up a couple of tickets on the day at the ground?!

cheers for any help.

Just got ahold of my ticks & they're for Tribuna D'Onore (Settore F). I understand that they're for the sides, but could any one give me a clue as to where? I've searched the net for a layout of the ground, but no joy.

Thanks

No hope to find tickets the same days. Sold out...to the Irish
There will be a big screen in Piazza del Popolo, I think all the fans without a ticket will be there

There are a load of Irish pubs in Rome. Fiddlers Elbow, Marconi's, Druids Den, Trinity College etc - I'm sure they'll have the telly on. All near the centre - a short cab ride.

Touts? You'll always find some near the ground. You take your chances though.

having just got back from Italy after the Wales game I cant wait to go again, like said before find your bearings. I went to the stadium in the morning and found vendors setting up (barter for scarves T shirts etc early I got a deal on 2 for price of one, prices stick closer to the match) get your programme, find your ingresso/entrance, (20mins to walk around the stadium,) touts are all over but once again take your chances, The Italians set up a sort of small party in the park in the piazza dello stadio flaminio with a great atmosphere, I didnt feel ripped off but inside ground prices seem to rise (coke can size of beer 5 euros)
to get to the stadium metro line A to flaminio and tram 2 to the stadium cost 1 euro, tickets from newspaper stands, nearer the game national colours are everywhere in piazza flaminio, and I found the walk fun with fellow supporters, those flying in to fumancini might be advised to take the train to rome termini (11 euros) instead of a taxi (40 - 70 euros, outside city limits drivers charge their own thing, I found out to late)
The stadium is small but your on top of the game, I could see James Hooks bum fluff on his chin on the opposite touch, and the atmosphere is superb,
Meeting places are plenty, piazza de popolo was full and a short walk to the spanish steps, though watch the missus as this is shop till you drop country, food is all over rome but I got fed up with bread,tomatos,cheese and wafer thin ham, by accident I found a mongolian barbecue on the viala Regina Margherita, tram 19 from piazza flamini to piazza buenas aries, 14 euros all you can eat you choose the ingredients they cook in front of you, ltr of beer = 7 euros and wine coming out of your ears, highly recommend it if you like chinese type food with spice!! I dont need to say anything about the sights but I did download an angels & demons tour which takes most of the big ones in, look for the signs in piazza del popolo, all in all enjoy a unique rugby experience, any other info just leave a comment and I'll try and answer, enjoy the craic the Italian rugby public do.
