Was thinking of maybe doing the same. Roughly how many hours up Eanna? And what is the best way?

[A face]

And what is the best way?

I have always gone straight up ... Thurles -> Templemore -> Birr -> Athlone etc. Roads aren't the best but you definitely dont meet as much traffic that way.

[Colm]

I've got a car full of City fans going up aswell but will be going the Dublin road if only to avoid Eanna, the man is a hazard on the roads! :D

[Gary Allen]

Guerzy, I would appreciate it if you didnt hide behing the internet to cause trouble. I would also appreciate it if you left my girlfriend out of it.

[Colm]

at least I've a full licence ya laaaaaaaaaaaaanger ya.

That's merely a piece of paper. :eek:
I won't be breaking as many laws this week though as I will actually have a fully licensed driver in the car with me! :D

[Colm]

Can make any day but Tuesday's & Thursday's. Fcuk it anyway.

Don't worry xtreme, as long as you make the Shels game you will be forgiven!! :)

[SÓC]

That's merely a piece of paper
A piece of pink paper at that, isnt there something thing strange about that colour?

Were as the provisional licence is green in support of the Rebel Army. All real fans have provisional licences

Spot on SOC.
All members of the Rebel Army should carry provisional licences. That's the reason I still have mine, nothing to do with being too lazy to apply for my full licence or anything like that! ;)

sorry but liffey valley at half 5 is might be a bit late for a 7.30 kick off with all the motorway road works on the N4.

[Wicklowrebel]

Dont think we can get going much earlier, How long do you reckon to get there? Is it 7:30 or 7:45 kick off?

Just checked it there, (trying to avoid doing any work). It says 1hr 46 minutes on the AA website from dublin to Longford. Not sure if they mean City Center (they probably do, but that wouldn't take into account roadworks etc....

That'll be from the city centre but it doesn't take roadworks at the Kilcock turnoff and the bottlenecks at Enfield, Clonard and Kinnegad into account. And at that stage you're still a good hour from the ground. :(

I'm going to be a little late I'd say.

Would scooting across from Trim be easier???

[kilbrin]

I need a lift to the match from Dublin if anyone has room.
