Not sure about that.

I bought for single tickets for three different matches...

Re: ARTICLE: Another Saturday afternoon lost with two games moved
The late fixture change will cost the Dublin Clarets a lot of money. They book their flights in advance, in order to get cheaper deals. Now they will lose that money. The closer they are to booking for a match day, the more the flights cost. Plus they then have overnight accommodation costs to add....

Annoyingly, and predictably, Rice and Grealish were the best players, and I thought Gordon was good as well. Only Ogbene tried for Ireland. Towards the end we had 3 ex-Clarets in our back 4. Brady is probably done at international level, probably has been for a while to be honest
