Limerick 37 v Cork City - 3rd FAI Cup
Good draw for us. Better to be away as it would cost us money at home.
Still it'll be a very tough game for ye. Jackman Park isn't an easy place to go to.
We did ok against them the last time we played them so i reckon we should be alright. But its a cup game and they have knocked us out before so we cant take it for granted.
Great draw for us. Hopefully we should get a 1500+ gate and we'll have a chance, albeit a small one, of a giant killing act.
Will ye're supporters travel for the game? How many do ye expect?
Its hard to say really. I hope to travel up. Can't make a decision till nearer the time, but the thing that could stop supporters from travelling is the L.C and J.C etc. We should still have aroubd 200 up there anyway hopefully more.Quote:

I think will easily get 500 at this game depending on what time it is played - not a Friday evening. Easy access & relative novelty factor.
A 2.00 pm start on the Sunday would be great I think, but Cork play Tipp in the hurling championship same day, so that fcuks that....
Sautrday at 2??
Ideal !! :cool:;)Quote:

Other than that, its just nearby streets -head toward the town centre rather than the other directions- probably wont be many free spaces on a Saturday, plus you'll need to get parking discs (nearby shop will have them).Quote:

Cheers for that.Quote:

Following consultations with Limerick 37 FC, it has been agreed that the forthcoming FAI Ford Cup Third Round tie between the sides will be played on Friday the 6th of June with the game kicking off at 7.45 pm. Details on ticketing arrangements will be announced in the near future.
The train station is on Parnell Street which is rough as.Quote:

For a spacious effort I would say Charlie Chaplin on Cruises Street, or maybe Baker Place which is around the corner from the Train Station.
....or the Still House on Thomas Street.
Its on Friday, 7.45pm kick-off, so you will have a better chance of finding a parking space nearer the ground, also it will be free after 6pm (no disc required).Quote:

Obviously there are earlier trains as well, but 10.00 is the last one. Tickets are probably cheaper if not bought online.
Tough draw for us methinks, *removed text*.;)
Cork teams got nice draws all round.
Bus eireann irish rail and the blue and yellow city link buses leave pretty late from Limerick to cork check out their website. Ground is basic lads its not called De Jacks for nothing. Our more experienced players are injured or away so expect an under 21ish side to be against ye.
