Sounds good to me Mark, we have already sold over 3,500 season tickets so it's gonna be an awesome season on the terrace.

Brian Condron · 04-08-2006, 16:07

May I just add one more stop to my proposed "les bleus" line...Twickenham

Yeah I heard they were sold out but I didnt know it was that many. How much did they cost this year?

Mark Hennessy · 04-08-2006, 16:11

It was €150 if you bought before the start of June, €200 after that, which for 15 games is damn good value I think

I believe that there are still terrace tickets available, it's only the seated ones that are sold out. Terrace is better craic anyway if you ask me.

Of there is bribing politicians going on, I want a Luas or Monorail linking the railway station with the hospital in Tullamore, or else move the whole track to the north of the town!

Just to combat the Rugby heads.

My solution isn't a line on a map. Its the upgrading of Drumcondra station so all trains can serve it on big match days at CROKER, where a real mans game is played. Add to that the construction of a station on the midland line.

Considering, the serious parking violations that go on around Croke Park, its about time the transport infrastructure around it was used to greater effect. Shuttle trains could operate to both stations from Heuston/Connolly, thereby controlling the numbers disembarking to manageable levels. Once metro north is in, a lot of Dubs are happy. In fact if the whole DRP thing is ever actually implemented, Special DARTs can be provided year after year to the Leinster Final and All Ireland Football final, as the Dubs are there to stay.

As for Donnybrook and Landsdowne, build big carparks, so supporters can park their Mercs and 4x4s. "My goawd. Don't you knoow guys? Its not loike, cool, to, loike, take public trawnsport to a game. You knoow loike?"

And before all you recently declared Rugby supporters start having a go at me, iron your jerseys, don't tuck them into your slacks/chinos/jeans, sort out the youngones at the Wesley "dishco" (preferably coral them in leopardstown racecourse and bring them in by bus) and most importantly, remember that my tongue is firmly in my cheek.

Great post Derek

Its a pity the Dart hasnt been extended to Drumcondra before the 6N rolls into town next year in Croker, it would make escaping to Kielys afterwards so much easier ( tongue also in cheek )

Derek Wheeler · 04-08-2006, 20:00

Ah Mark, when we let you lot into Croker, do the decent thing and check out the local hostileries first.

Perhaps myself and Thomas Stamp can do up a, "drinking near Croker guide, for the uniniatiated Rugby head".

I think it's ok too. It's got pool tables which while a bit pricey make it a highly enjoyable midweek spot.
