    Cool Travel to Tallaght in style with dooleys express

    i'll be running buses to the final on the sunday morning. probably plan to leave around 8am. get straight to the ground, no hassle from getting parking spaces, getting from the train station to tallaght or anything like that. id be hoping id get a few hundred people for them. would be nice to have a fleet of buses travelling together.

    hoping that tickets are going to be on sale in the ground on some night and i'll be up there to take bookings for it, probably get more people that way. it'll be 20 or 30 euro a head, cheaper than the trains anyways.

    i'll confirm details during the week hopefully. would many be interested in using the bus?

    Luas from Connolly Station to Tallaght. You can't get out of Connolly without spotting the tram stop and you can't get off at Tallaght without spotting the ground 3 minutes walk away.

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Yeah, but that method of transport is safe and predictable.

    Well it better be done at the nearest church because no one wants a repeat of what happened on the way to Cork, god knows the nightmare scenario of the day would be the bus breaking down on the way to a final!. Sure dont stop there either, get Raff,Blinkhorn,Doyle,Morrison and f*ck it all the Rovers players boots blessed aswell .

Into the ground early enough and bring home the cup.

    If anyone is stuck for a bed in Dublin for the night, see Knappagh Red who booked out a whole floor in the Maldron last April.

    €30 for a bus to Dublin, you're some money grabbing...
