Instead of going to London, what do you reckon the chances are of getting the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick for an afternoon kickoff? 50,000 capacity and still in our own country.
Its only Croke Park that the GAA opened up.
Well surely thats the thin end of the wedge?
So you reckon there would be 50,000 at a friendly on a Wednesday afternoon in Limerick?
id love if this match were in London.
OK didnt realise it was a Wednesday :rolleyes: but why could there not be 50,000 in Limerick on a Saturday afternoon in the future?
Because of what Neil said. And I'd imagine weekends around the end of May might already be busy for the GAA.
will save me on air fares and hotels!!!
A very small chance, I'd prefer to go to Africa:)Quote:

the vital word there is could, still just a rumour. I would prefer a proper away trip than a trip to London to be honest.
whatever about the gaa, what about thomond park
That only holds about 13000, at a squeeze.
Won't be completed until Nov. for visit of All Blacks :D (doubt if they would let the FAI steal their thunder).Quote:

I do hope you're right, as it's just a ten-minute walk from chez PP. :)Quote:

It's available for sacar.Quote:

I wish they would but there seems to be grim determination to double and triple up on infrastructure. Some of my fellow shannonsiders are also of the opinion that people won't attend LOI unless it's in a "City centre venue".Quote:

I've never understood why, as far as I know, playing football at Thomond Park has never even been discussed.
