I mean transport-wise.

The ball is round and has many surprises.
But of course, as you know yourself, there is not much room for football grounds in the centre of a city.
IMO, transport wise, Rathbane is perfect. The problem is not getting there its being there.

I was at a cracking game in Rathbane around 1986ish. Johnny "Jabber" (What's his name?)was brilliant. Two Rep of Ireland internationals scored. Paul Mc Gee & Tommy Gaynor. Final score 1 -1 . It is easy to exaggerate attendances, but there must've been 5000 at the game. About 200 travelled from Galway.
I also remember Limerick City coming to Galway around the same time. They wore yellow and green (like Norwich). Limerick brought lots of fans to the game. Pat Grace arrived in a huge American f***ing car .
That's my 2 cents worth to the thread.

That's the fella. Why did ye call him "Jabber"?
He was a truly brilliant player. He stood out from the others.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
can't answer that in a public forum sorry. He was a great player.
Dunno Gar: I knew a John Walsh from County Limerick, (no relation to your brilliant JW) who also gloried in the nickname 'Jabber' and there was nothing risque about it.
It seems to be just a Limerick nickname in the same way the 'Cha' was in Cork and 'Spud' was in Dublin
Does anybody besides me remember him as a copious belcher during games? He was always belching.............or am I just plain wrong and setting myself up for an "Idiot post of the month" award?
