    Navan to Dublin on a Friday evening can take around an hour or so on the bus, though I'm working about 5 mins walk away from Dalymount now so I go straight to matches from there unless I have to collect my little cousin and bring him or something. I used to have to leave every match early to get the bus, the amount of goals I've missed over the last few years...

    A lovely 40 minute walk down to St Lukes, down Summer Hill, across the river and up Anglesea St, from there its only a short hop up Capwell and into the Evergreen for pre match mouth wash.
    Or 10 minutes in the car.

    I live a couple of miles from Belfield Park. I'm usually coming from somewhere on the campus though, so it's fairly handy for me overall.

    My lift (for which I am regularly most grateful, by the way) leaves from the South Eastern side of the city, and I would imagine that being on one of the main routes out of the city into Kildare ANY time on a Friday isn't too pleasant, anyway.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    When living in belfast for university takes about 1 hour to get to the ground. if at home in Loughgall 5 minute walk. I have it so lucky really feel for those who have to travel longer than an hour for a home match good on you.

    The N7/M7 is grand once you get past the Greenisle hotel. M50 to kilkenny city in 1hr 45. another maybe 40 mins to an hour to waterford. tell your lift he's WRONG so so WRONG

    Depends when you're leaving Dublin. Last time I was in Kilkenny, it took three hours to get down, and that was only because we gave up on the M50. Would have been longer if we's stuck with it.

    From the south east of Dublin, the best way to Waterford (especially on a Friday evening) is the coast road down the N11/M11, avoiding the M50 entirely. You get stuck at Gorey, but it's worth it to avoid the M50.

    From my house in Athlone about a 20 minute walk

    From my house in County Limerick, 30 minute drive to the Bus Station, 2 hours and 10 minutes of a bus journey to Athlone and then 10 minute walk down to the ground

    From my place of employment in Tullamore, 30 minute train journey and a 10 minute walk to the ground. So my usual Friday when I am working is finish work and go straight to the game.
