Never one to miss a marketing opportunity.
As we all know , Ireland will host England this weekend as the two sides come face-to-face for the first time in Dublin since the infamous match in ’95.
It’s very likely that you’ve heard the name ‘David Kelly’ being mentioned quite a lot over the last few days and Paddy Power haven’t missed an opportunity to get their name out there also ahead of the match.
The betting firm have created a “Designated England Supporter Betting Shop’ in their Lower Baggot Street location ( 5 minutes walk from the Aviva Stadium) and wrapped it in bubble-wrap.
We wonder why.
Take a look.

Their ‘welcome’ to the travelling English supporters didn’t stop there though as their Twitter account this morning also referenced that infamous night in ’95. Take a look.
We can’t wait for Ireland v England on Sunday. If you’re an English fan staying with us, please take your shoes off before you come in. OK?

And if you’re being completely outclassed by our football team (again), please don’t start smashing the place up! pic.twitter.com/lCYtdDEay6 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) June 5, 2015
