    Yeah definitely wrestling mania! Can't say enough nice things about that place (which is a change as Naill et al have had a rough time of it on boards for some reason)

    I'd head in soon enough if you can - I'd say they will run out of the most popular shirts fairly soon! Probably won't be restocked until before the show in the point!

    you can ask him for a specific shirt if you have that wonderful magical invention that is the book of face!

    Thanks very much :D. Hopefully check it out Friday so. I can't see me needing to reserve it.. If they even do Cody Rhodes shirts I reckon they will be in stock :D.

    I must have been in the Stephens Green shopping centre a hundred times over the last three years and never knew there was a wrestling shop in there!

    did I read somewhere A table was being reserved for the podcast boys (walter, the bostoncrab etc) assuming they turn up early enough. If so I think a great idea would be to put a lil notice somewhere that it's the boards PW table, then boardsies could have a place to meet each other and maybe even get a podcast cameo if they are there early. Also would be a place to have potentially a laptop set up with boards PW open to see the online reaction to the whole thing and even join in.

    Wohoo!!Just managed to get the Monday off work to make what is finally going to be the first ever PW boards.ie meetup.Sounds like it's going to be epic.

    Leggo,any idea when non-Dubliners will have the chance get hold of the reserved tickets?You're a legend for organising this by the way.

    Confirmed: Captain's opens at 12pm on Friday so anytime after then you can get tickets.

    Sure, I'll book off a table for boards. I'll make sure it's near a power point too, if possible, to accommodate a laptop. Not sure if you can access Captain's wifi though if you want so if someone wants to sort out mobile broadband, tethering or the likes.

    I'm thinking we need a Hashtag so people can live tweet from the event. I'll also throw it on the video of the classic Mania matches so everyone there knows. Thinking "#CaptainsMania", anyone any other suggestions?

    I'll give a couple days notice of how and when non-Dubs can apply for the boards allocation.

    Would a "cut a promo" contest be a good idea, or would it be likely to descend into chaos?

    Contestants could each have 30 secs to cut a promo, and the crowd could choose the winner (playa). Small prize from Wrestling Mania for the winner:P

    Haha had thought of this idea actually and even sounded a couple of people out about it, but had the same response as my gut instinct each time: drink + people slagging each other = bad idea. Even if it is all in good fun, it only takes one to take things too far. You couldn't even do this with a bunch of drunk, trained, professional wrestlers without trouble! :D Shame.

    Fair play for getting it all organised. Won't be attending this year as in work at 9 but I assume it's a now annual event so I'll swing round next year!

    (BTW anyone worried you'll all think the others are a-holes when ye meet up for first time?!)

    I honestly have never met any wrestling fans who are a-holes. I think there's some sort of united bond between us :D.

    But judging by how quickly this has spread around circles on Facebook and Twitter, it's possible that more than half the people there aren't regular posters on here anyway.

    Aye, there'll be a late bar all night so all good! Will prob close just before the show ends when the show is winding down so staff aren't stuck there til 6am clearing people out, it's a 'play it by ear' type deal but nobody will be left short for booze don't worry. :)

    Tix are €5, on-sale 12pm tomorrow. By the sound of things, there'll end up being a preview of the sesh with the boards heads going to be there for opening time. :D

    leggo, can you give a rough idea as to what day the boards ticket allocation will take place? Also is it possible to call captains and pay over the phone..
