Weekend in Kilkenny

**GuisaSaigon** · 19/10/2006, 10:24 AM

Just wondering how many people would be interested in doing a weekend trip to kilkenny for our last game of the season.The way the league is going it might not be decided until then.The game is currently fixed for Saturday november 18 at 730.
Kilkenny is a busy city at the weekend so a central b&b would have to be booked well in advance. It would be nice to celebrate winning the league in style!

I'm looking at flying over from London for the weekend. However, what is the likelihood of the eircom League scheduling all games for the same time on the last night? Is this likely to mean a Sunday afternoon kickoff?

I'd be worried about that too. maybe someone could clarify this as nothing can be booked if we dont know the dates for sure.

**gufcfan** · 19/10/2006, 11:42 AM

Would be interested alright, when the date and time is for certain

**Patrick Dunne** · 19/10/2006, 11:42 AM

The games involving the top three clubs are all already scheduled for that
Saturday night anway. Last season the final games in the First Division season were scheduled for a Saturday night.

I haven't heard anything about a change in dates, it would be extremely unlikely and pointless.

I was thinking this too as ive tickets for Springsteen on the Sunday night.Anyone got a clue? Are Shlebourne and Rovers at home that weekend!!!!!!!!

**Patrick Dunne** · 19/10/2006, 11:53 AM

Rovers are away to Cobh (Saturday)
Dundalk are away to Harps (Saturday)

I'd say we'll all stay overnight unless UTD actually won the league down there.Then it would be a case of get back to Galway asap to celebrate i would have thought myself.

It would have to be booked in advance if we were going to stay down, If we could get an idea how many would be interested then we could check out b&b prices and bus for the weekend.
We went on a weekend trip down there years back and it was great craic.

**JW.** · 19/10/2006, 12:23 PM

I'd be well up for a weekend down there.

**GuisaSaigon** · 19/10/2006, 12:49 PM

would you be coming from dublin or galway JW ?
so far we have GUFCFAN and myself from galway exile from London, Anyone else up 4 it?There might be more interest after 2moro night.

**Conor H** · 19/10/2006, 12:51 PM

I'll definitely be going.So will Barry and Christos.Dohery who's away for the week had mentioned he was mad up for it before.i think once the fixtures we're announced most knew it would be an overnighter!

**JW.** · 19/10/2006, 12:54 PM

Almost certainly Dublin I'd say GUISASaigon.

**gufcfan** · 19/10/2006, 1:49 PM

There's one or 2 i'd bring with me aswell if there free that weekend

**GuisaSaigon** · 19/10/2006, 1:56 PM

I'll try to get a list of those who definitely intend to travel tomorrow and see where we stand. One night B&B will be at least �50. The bus will be pricey for the weekend, any ideas how much ConorH ?

**JC_GUFC** · 19/10/2006, 4:01 PM

I've booked the whole weekend off from work so will definitely be there.

Depending on whether it's a title decider or not I may even go to Galway from the trip down!!!

No sorry.I'll find out though.PD might have a rough estimate as we did the same for Cobh last year.

**Patrick Dunne** · 19/10/2006, 5:39 PM

There will be a bus/buses going down to Kilkenny anyway on the Saturday,
so anyone interested in staying over would just have to hire a bus to take the group back on Sunday. I will discuss possible prices with you tomorrow night.

I would love to stay down. However, its more than likely that we will be bringing a large crowd down from Galway, so will probably go back with them.
