Weekend in Kilkenny

**Patrick Dunne** · 19/10/2006, 5:49 PM

Ironically, if we in a mid-table position, staying over in Kilkenny would be the weekend of the year

Am told that the EL definitely won't be changing kick-off times and dates for the last series of games in the First Division.

However, if the title is to decided on any previous weekend, then the games involving the top three clubs will be played simultaneously.

It was started to see how many people would be interested in staying in kilkenny after the game.There is no point in deciding this on the week of the game and not being able to book a decent b&b.
The game starts at 7.30, finishes around 9.20.Lets say a bus leaves for galway at 10, it arrives in Galway at 2. While this scenario might suit some people, i'd prefer a night out in Kilkenny and a few end of season beers.

Yeah, I'd definitely prefer a weekend in Kilkenny, as you say if we're getting a bus back it will be too late to go out celebrating in Galway!

Count me in for the B & B.

i know what your saying conor but it'd be a bit of annoying rushing home and only getting back to galway at one o clock and all the pubs would be nearly closed.

If you want to go, give a deposit (E20) to Caroline Keady or Ronan Coleman
on Friday evening in Foxes or at Terryland. If you want further information, give
Ronan a call at (087) 6972823.

A group of approx 20 supporters are booked into accomodation in Vicar Street. This accomodation is full.

The following are other contacts in Kilkenny :

Rafter Dempseys (056) 7722970
Berkley House (056) 7764848
Troysgate (056) 7775999
Celtic House (056) 7762249

Alternatively, check out www.kilkennytourism.ie.

GUST will be running a supporters bus to the game, departing Eyre Square at 1.00pm. We are leaving at an earlier time to allow supporters book into their accomodation. Regardless of where you are staying, the bus will bring the group from Kilkenny
city centre to Buckley Park and back again afterwards.

Some supporters will be heading back to Galway. The remainder will be collected at 1.00pm on Sunday. We need as many supporters as possible in Buckley Park, so I would ask you all to try and make the journey.

Come on United !

PD.
