I am off to Dublin for a week, work not play, but I get in at 5am on Sunday, just in time to catch a few hours' kip after the jump over the pond before watching the Arse game. Now, I could watch it in my underpants in my hotel room, but that is all a bit sad, so where will there be some lively shenanigans (surely an Irish word?) over a few pints of the dark stuff to catch the Mighty Potters sink the dreaded Arse?

I've been to Dublin a few times pal and watched Stoke whilst over there. Quite a few pubs to go for, temple bar area has a few good pubs with sport on and good Irish music, there is a cracking pub just off O'Connel street by the river called the Alexandra Hotel with loads of sports shown, I had some good banter with the barman in there as it was the night Ireland qualified for the euros, it was packed and I had my potters top on and he said Walters was crap, hahaha how I laughed and he soon changed his tune after SJW's brace, a paddy guy asked to swap tops with me, great bunch and they love the Stoke foursome of Walters, Whelan, Wilson and Given. Heading back there in Februaty for the weekend we play Bournmouth, taking the wife for a mucky valentines weekend, oh and to watch the potters match too  |

I tried to get the wife over for this one, but she is back home in Barbados at present visiting her folks and didn't fancy swapping 30 degrees of sunshine for about 4 degrees of wind and rain!!!
Cheers for the tips - Alexandra (name of my first school in Normacot!) sounds a good bet, Stoke shirt proudly on display of course.

That's NassauDave - I am in Bermuda (second stint, first 1999-2003, then Hong Kong, Jersey, BVI, Anguilla, back here since 2012). Wife is from Barbados, so back visiting parents. I am going down in March to pick her up and bring her back. |

I am a Dublin Stoke and although we are a growing club (I used to be regarded as mad or sad)there is no pub in Dublin that I know of where Stokies meet.Probably the best sports bar in Dublin is The living room off O Connell Street which has more screens than customers. Glen Whelan is from Clondalkin in Dublin but you wouldn't go there without a bulletproof vest.

We must get a BIT of love from the Irish no?  Dublin's a great city, very friendly. Temple bar area is great, good music scene there |
