Rally Ireland

[Hereiam]

Well only five days to go till Ireland hosts one of its biggests events ever. I can't wait for this as i have been a wrc fan for a long time. Hope everything goes to plan with this event as it surly will show the world viewers what the Irsih people can do. Any of the you other board members going to any of the stages.

I dont really have much choice but to watch it as they are driving past the front door. Not really my kind of thing but I can appreciate the significance of it. The skies have been filled with helicopters all week who have been out scouting the stage. The stage coordinator called into the house tonight and according to him they are expecting crowds of 20k plus in the area on Saturday.

Booked the weekend of on holidays. Hope to catch a few stages.

yes, i will go to the friday stages, sure it should be a bit of crack!

Presuming there will be a lot of roads closed etc, anyone know exactly where. Have to travel from Cavan to Derry that day around three, assuming it will be a nightmare

Should be ok, Stages near Tempo and Ballinmanard so will be a few cars around Enniskillen.

Rallying in Ireland was great craic, but the Twin Cam Brigade have destroyed it for the genuine fans. Sadly they will be out in force next weekend and because of that so will the Gardai.

Indeed, mind you there's plenty of the f**kers around here, rally or no rally. Can hear them doing their thing on the lower main roads, and the tyre marks on the road tell their own story.

That said, it's great that such an event is within a short journey, and I'll probably take a look at one or two of the stages here.

What a brilliant event it will be! I've driven the Mullaghmore stages with Garteh McHale (without wetting myself!) and I met Marcus Gronholm at the Galway International. Such gentlemen - no problems getting autographs etc. Let's pray that everyone stays safe.

booked friday off myself, was looking over the stages this morning and reckon 2 stages wud be the max that u cud possibly get to in a day! the crowds will be massive.
I think Leob will win it and i can see Meeke slipping into a top 8 position!!

[Gnevin]

[stpauls]

heading to the saturday and sunday stages myself, i can't wait.
it has been a long time coming and it is a proud moment in the history of rallying on this island!!!

What a bloody sham that opening cermony turned out to be. Who ever organised that should be ashamed. I had more firework going off at Halloween. Can anyone care to explain what the hell the theme was. I hope the rest of the rally gets better than that poor show

Looks like Michael Stone has struck again..... reports that he is swinging of RTE's broadcast van.... the transmission has been lost.
