Directions to O2 Park please

[el punter]

Neutral fan of the league here - yes we do exist! but have never been to 02 park and I fancy taking in the Shels game tomorrow, this summer football stuff is the biz, big change from 3 pairs of socks, and tracksuit bottoms over the jeans in Tolka Park in February....So can someone please give directions from Drogheda train station to the venue.

All together now..."Is this the way to 02 Pa-aark, will the floodlights work in the da-aaark, is this the way to 02 Pa-aark, to where the Drogs wait for me"

And as el punter, I must say Cork are overpriced this weekend, I reckon the odds compilers haven't sussed that Murphy has left Waterford....punish them lads, punish them.

what price and where???

The ground is at the other side of the town. Too hard to give directions so either (a) exit train station down the ramp and head right into Drogheda town. Follow signs or ask a friendly local (there are some if you search hard enough) for the Lourdes Hospital, the ground is opposite the hospital.

Or (b) follow the Shels fans ;)

Thanks for the directions Holidaysong.

Cork are 11/8 with sportingodds, link below.

As big as 6/4 with some Austrian bookies, but they're a bit dodgy (without attempting to be libellous)

First of all its UTD Park not O2 park. Anyway ill forgive that little indescretion anyway as holiday song said exit train station down the ramp and head right into Drogheda town. Follow the main road all the way till you cross the river go straight through the crossroads up the hill and take the second right (there should be a large Drogheda flag on Mother huge's pub thats the turn) that is windmill road and the ground is up the top of that on the left.

Prematch pints, go to mother hughes (good beer garden where a few of us probably will be weather permitting)

Looks like a typical night down Earl Street to me :eek: :D

You've got to admire the posture of the lad in the black shirt.....left arm out for balance, leaning back, knee bent, about to curl some poor fcukers head in to the back of the stand with a bit of backspin.

I'll try make me way to Mother Hughes for a few fruit juices and yoghurts before the game. Well Rochey, I'm delighted with the correction because I can not stand the idea of football stadia being 'sponsored' by corporate gluttons.....nearly as pathetic as asrehole chairmen naming stands and stadia after themselves....the Doug Ellis Stand, The Madejski Stadium...and that nutter Manuel Luiz l'Opera that runs Real Betis. Bottom line - I'm more than happy to call it Utd Park.
