How far is your home ground?

**mypost** · 15/10/2006, 1:33 PM

Tram and train and walk (from base to Connolly to Drumcondra to Tolka), approx. 1h45mins.

Unfair question - the Shams fans must be totally confused as to what a "home ground" is.

(Just kidding lads - I liked Glenmalure, and joined the halftime onfield protest when we played you in the Cup semi all those years ago).

Ok if I come from home I have to cross the city in Friday evening traffic, to be fair reverse commuting the first half of the trip. I am 7 miles from the city centre and it's about 4.5 miles to Belfield from the Point ( if I use Eastlink).
About a 35-40 minute drive if the traffic is not too heavy and if Leinster are not playing in Donnybrook.

If I leave from work I am in the North Inner city workwise. Five minutes walk to the bus. I usually go to the Montrose for a snack so it's about 15-20 minutes walk from there to the ground.

Very slow walker CTID!

**Celdrog** · 15/10/2006, 4:38 PM

80 mile round trip

**Niall** · 15/10/2006, 5:22 PM

I travel from Newbridge to the RSC which is just short of 90 miles each way I think . Easy drive except for getting through Carlow on a Friday evening.

Used to be 25 miles each way when me and the brother drove to Kilcohen Park.

Well over an hour, but go from work (town) to 90% of games.

**Ash** · 16/10/2006, 8:39 AM

15 - 20 minute walk from where I'm currently living to Mels.
Just under 15 minute walk from my new house to the new stadium
(both of which I hope will be ready soon!)
