So has anyone actually been to Limerick? Do we even know the place exists? And, if not, just what have the Limerick fans on their forum been talking about the last couple of years...? :confused: :D

Haven't been to Limerick,Monaghan and Turners Cross for some strange reason.It just always seems to clash with something else for me.Very odd :confused:

Been to them all except Limerick plus i have also been to Avondales ground when they beat us in the cup many years ago and i've been to Tolka Rovers ground which is excellent for a small club.Hats off to them.Some other clubs could learn a thing or two from them.

Haven't been to Monaghan, Limerick, Cobh or Dundalk. Long time since I was in St Mels as well, hear it hasn't changed much since the 80's though :)

I'm saying nothing, I was in Abbeycartron a few weeks ago for an underage match (and the state of that was the reason I was in St Mels in the first place).

Circumstances have gone against me at 3 of the venues - can't recall a chance to go to Limerick since they moved ground.

Anyway, I've still been to many games in Bray - that lovely seaside resort, and to Dwog land (what a fookin kip).

What are the best non league grounds that you've been to, are there any that stand out. Are there any that are better than some of the grounds in the first and premier ??
pineapple stu
20/05/2004, 7:27 PM
Been to Stradbrook (TEK United), Iveagh Grounds and Capco Park (Bluebell). Not much more than a field with a fence/wall around them really. Iveagh Grounds features a rather decrepit-looking stand too, as I recall. Newbridge Town fits into that category to a large extent too.

slk cordially invites you all to Limerick because it's not really a bad place. Clearly that's why our attendances are so low. Crap away support. :)

One positive that Pike Rovers ground has over most grounds is that it has a bar :eek:

Hmmm...how well do you know south Dublin?

Can't quite remember where the rugby pitch is (was there once...night ended with me lying in the middle of the road to hail a taxi...)

If you're heading out from town along the 45 bus route (i.e. out through Ballsbridge and then Blackrock), head along the Dean's Grange Road and past the Stradbrook Road, but take the next main left; TEK is in on the right.

Was there twice years ago for friendlies against Peterborough (came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 only to lose 3-2) and Pat's. Nice bar though - seems to be in common with every non-league ground.

and last Athlone this week!


Bit of a story about Athlone! The evening before I was resigned to missing the game as I was working till nine the next day but good news came my way when I heard that I would be working the next day at ten to seven!

So I put in a quick course of action -the only way I could make it from Carrick On Shannon was to get a taxi fourty miles to scumlone which cost a cool sixty five euros!After a bit of negotiating over the phone ,Iwas able to do my course of the full grounds. Luckily my pay check was cumin through the next day! :D

Any prize for being the first! :confused:

Max it costs e15 to get in to watch us, how much do you pay in to watch Shels, Bohs , Pats??

The exact same thats what. So leave this price hike business out, its very old and totally out of date, your just a tight fecker. Admit it. :rolleyes:

Wrong. It's a tenner in to see us. I think Longford are the only other Premier team that don't charge €15.

Yup-1994. Came back from 2-0 down to beat Galway 3-2 while Cork lost having lead in the Brandywell.
