How far is your home ground?

On the way into Dalymount last night heading in St Peters entrance saw some guy walk out of his house and into the ground, he was living at least 50 feet from the entrance (assuming he wasnt robbing the house :p ).

I know one guy on Emmet Road who has the same ardous task in getting to Richmond (tbh he can see the games out his bedroom window)

I have to travel about 3 miles to Richmond, one bus 78a stops outside the ground so its handy enough as traffic always going the other so takes me about 10 minutes from bus stop to turnstiles.

How far do others have to travel to get to their home grounds?

Half an hour to get to Station Road for Kildare matches and 15-20 mins when I was in Cork to get to Turners Cross.

Good idea by the way.

About 15 mins. Funny thing is that when Drogs new ground is complete it will be 15 mins in the opposite direction. BTW - announcement in Drogheda tonight that contracts have now been signed for the purchase of the land for the new stadium. Progress at last.

A train to Liverpool Street, tube to Kings Cross St Pancras, train to Luton airport Parkway, shuttle bus to Luton Airport, Flight to Galway Airport, cab ride to Terryland. About 6 hours door to ground.

Looks like all flights for next Friday (v Dundalk) are booked out though and Thursday evening (returning Sat) looks like approx GBP 200 :( and I'd still have a further GBP 23 on the trains too

Was 5 minute walk. Now if I'm home it'd be at least 45 minutes on a bus (20 minutes if I'm getting a lift). Usually come from work (via pub) and its 10 minutes in a taxi at 7.30 now

when i lived in the city i used to walk for about 50 mins to get to Rathbane, but that was back in the smog filled dull sunday afternoon LOI days. Now i drive about ten miles takes about 5/35 mins depending on traffic and lack/large amount of traffic cops ;)

While I was in Cork I could have lobbed a stone down into the Cross from the house I was in.
15 minute (8 mile) drive to the RSC carpark, 3 minute walk to the ground if I don't bring the season ticket. I probably park outside your house tawdy!

100km. Living in Belfast, so every match is an away game. Almost as quick for me to get to a match in Dublin as one in Derry.
