16A ver regular (every 20mins at least) from Westmoreland Street and O'Connell St. at the pick-up stops. The 16 will bring close to Santry village.
33 and some 41 goes past the door as well.
Swiss Cottage in Santry village (Swords road) is a large Lounge and family-orientated pub.
Other Services:
Omni Park Shopping Centre.
Chartbusters have internet access.
(Is it possible to give a report here after the Sports events).
Thats great, cheers!! Havent been there in a few years!!
There's a social club in the ground which is open normal hours; don't think they do food though.
Cheaper pints?Quote:

Your gaurenteed not to be wating more than 15 minutes in my experience.
hope to see you there ;)
I always stick with 41 (plus 41a,b,c) or 33 there's a bus almost every 15minutes. buses all leave from abbey street like clockwork (every 10,15 minutes) as opposed to (in my experience) unreliable 16a (which goes through beaumont adding maybe 15 minutes)Quote:

There isn't a social club in the ground, its an athletics club and unless you are a member you won't get in, the swiss is grand and Omni shopping centre is only down the road if the grub isn't up to your standards! enjoy either way! good luck tonight
I got in no problem after our two games in Morton last year, there were a few Fingal heads there too as far as I remember. the bar isn't that big though so if there's a good few of going together, it might be a problem.Quote:

We never made any secret of being away fans (scarves and jerseys on); maybe it's a new policy for the nasty Premier Division clubs.

It wasnt "Exactly " what you said. it may have been what you ment alright but not " Exactly ".
Jaysus pedantors give it a rest (sic)
Have to say I really didn't like Morton. What struck me most was the amount of time wasted in the game waiting for the ball to come back to the pitch once it went out of play. They should have had spare ones on the sidelines ready to go.
I agree, but the fourth official has spare ones.
would it not be an idea that all clubs have to provide ball boys around the pitch
