    How far is your home ground?

    On the way into Dalymount last night heading in St Peters entrance saw some guy walk out of his house and into the ground, he was living at least 50 feet from the entrance (assuming he wasnt robbing the house ).

    I know one guy on Emmet Road who has the same ardous task in getting to Richmond (tbh he can see the games out his bedroom window)

    I have to travel about 3 miles to Richmond, one bus 78a stops outside the ground so its handy enough as traffic always going the other so takes me about 10 minutes from bus stop to turnstiles.

    How far do others have to travel to get to their home grounds?

    Half an hour to get to Station Road for Kildare matches and 15-20 mins when I was in Cork to get to Turners Cross.

    Good idea by the way.

    5 minutes walk - I can see the floodlights from my upstairs back window. Not looking forward to the drive to Harristown.

    About 15 mins. Funny thing is that when Drogs new ground is complete it will be 15 mins in the opposite direction. BTW - announcement in Drogheda tonight that contracts have now been signed for the purchase of the land for the new stadium. Progress at last.

    2.5hr flight from Florida to Boston, then 6hrs to Dublin and then 1hr to Station Rd. So, about 3500 miles.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    A train to Liverpool Street, tube to Kings Cross St Pancras, train to Luton airport Parkway, shuttle bus to Luton Airport, Flight to Galway Airport, cab ride to Terryland. About 6 hours door to ground.

    Looks like all flights for next Friday (v Dundalk) are booked out though and Thursday evening (returning Sat) looks like approx GBP 200 and I'd still have a further GBP 23 on the trains too
