That would be the best but it would take 5 hours on a Friday evening. The other way is....first roundabout into limerick (Greenhills) take right onto condell road, two miles to shannon bridge. Cross bridge and take right onto Dock Road. Traffic should be hell but hold your nerve. Drive one mile to Shell Station and turn Left (long avenue) go straight through two ornamental roundabouts till u come to Punches X. Take right at lights and into left lane, 100 mts turn left at lights. Go straight till you come to Roxboro roundabout/TESCO. Take left at roundabout and left into tesco and right immediately to rear of Shoping centre for safeish parking. Do not drive down to Hogan park, no parking there for ye and do not park in front of Tesco/Steering wheel pub or statoil. Walk is only about 500 mts then. But you gotta do all this before 6:30 just to be on the safe side for time.Quote:

thanks lads,but some of us dont have the privalige of a car.....quickest way walking anyone?
It's a good distance if your walking, get a taxi!;). Or maybe a bus? Anyone know the bus routes around Limerick?:confused:Quote:

Would be pretty pointless following crowds from Limerick city centre you'd most likely end up in Homebase or something ;)
If your on the buses get the 302 from LIT into the city centre, then get the 303 bus outside Sports 2000 and it will drop you across the road from the ground. Be warned, the 303 in the evenings can be a little iffy :)
where the nearest watering hole too lads???thanks....mitch
Mitch....you will be bringing cans anyway so whats the worry?.....charles
give me a little respect....:rolleyes: ill be bringing a glass for the cans
a pub beside hogan park would do nicely
ya....lemonade and tayto before the match to get the vocal cords warmed up...
The nearest pub is at the Roxboro Shopping centre, but I wouldn't go drinking around that area if I were you. Better have a few in the city centre.Quote:

As for arriving half cut, I myself have been known to have a few warmers before a cold evening in the Shed so ye should be OK :)

Opposite end to the Shed, although mite not be open so as a general rule as far away as possible from the ShedQuote:
