    Does anyone have an email address for the woolshed? Couldn't find it on the website because I'm thinking if me and the 7 or so of my mates who watch it every year get emailing and people on here do the same it might give them something to think about.

    I sent an e-mail to them at info@woolshedbaa.com

    I e-mailed them Sunday afternoon at about 1pm, no reply yet though. But like I said earlier, the more people that flood their Inbox, the better our chances will be.

    30 seconds away mate! You got the Olympia, then Abrakababra, then Peadar Kearneys (with maybe a couple of other shops in-between).

    Well done to ye for getting this idea going.

    I won't lie, I have no idea if I would go or not - I wouldn't be able to say until I hear details of exactly what is planned. I know that is not helpful!

    Sure is. Just trying to get the best possible deal so we won't get ripped off.

    Thanks. I know what ya mean. I wasn't too keen on the idea of going to a house. We will definitely have something hammered out within the next week and a bit. Nobody is being forced to come or anything but I do think you'll be missing out if you don't IMO.

    And an important note guys. Brings as much people as you can. The higher the number, the less we all have to pay if we end up getting charged for rooms or whatever. If we're all drinking (the majority are) the safe bet is to get a few people to chip in for each room.

    We've started off well. We have one offer where if we get a good lot of people to stay the night in the hotel, not only will they screen the PPV, but they'll show it for free.

    Is WM on at 1am-5am, or midnight until 4am? Bear in mind the clocks go back on March 27.

    I have to be in work at 8am on the following Monday, so gonna have to pull an all-nighter for this!

    Well what people have to remember is that we only properly sent out emails in the last 24 hours so we should wait and see what other places like the Woolshed and Peader Kearneys say about it. If not we have a venue in Temple Bar.

    What do you reckon is the minimum amount of rooms we as a group would need to book for Dublin Citi Hotel to give a 100% yes answer?

    Don't think that will be a problem. I think these guys pay a fee to screen the PPV ( 200 euro apparentley or 21.50 if they do it illegally ;) )

    They didn't say specifically but hopefully if we get maybe 15 people staying the night in the hotel we should be sound. I'll find out for definite though.

    Here's the specific email
    Hi John,

    Many thanks for your email. We would be delighted to host the screening of this boxing match for you. We are the ideal venue here at Citi Bar for events such as this & we are a big sporting venue too. In regards to the night, depending on the amount of people you book into the hotel, I will screen the match free of charge for you. It will be necessary for you to book an overnight anyway.. how many guests do you think may attend? If you can let me know figures, I can put together a package for you & you will all have a great night! We have 27 bedroom here so there is ample room for lots of guests.

    I look forward to hearing from you & thanks again,

    Hi John,

    Thank you for considering us as a venue to watch Wrestlemania. The Superbowl was a great success and another night like that would be brilliant. We need to look into a few things first but it shouldn't be a problem.

    We will be in touch asap.

    Kind Regards

    Jackie

    If I am going I would probably bring the wife to dublin for the day on the sunday and stay over in a decent hotel, with that in mind dame street - Peader Kearney's sounds great.

    From the Riverside Hotel
    Hello John Concannon,

    I have passed your email onto the Bar manager. I'll let you know when he contacts me regarding whether the bar can host a group for watching the wrestling. The bar opens at 17:00 pm and closes at 03:00am and bands play there every night, however he might make an allowance for your group.

    We would be happy to offer you accomadation in our hotel.

    Our rates for the 4th of April are as follows:

    Single Room: Eur.40.00
    Double/Twin Room: Eur.60.00
    Triple Room: Eur.70.00

    If it is a large group we can offer you a special group rate.
