During Brian Kerr's reign, myself and my mates had the same pregame routine involving eating a chicken burger in the burger king on o'connell street, then taking the same route from there to lansdowne road (up Westmoreland Street, passed college green, turn left at the bottom of Grafton Street, down nassau street, onto lower grand canal street, upper grand canal street, and stop in Slattery's).
The first time I didn't follow the route, we lost to Italy.

Used to be 18 bus from Sundrive to Landsdowne in the 70's. No lifts accepted had to be the bus. Dalymount the same. Watching away games (no money and too young) in the 70's ment RTE and closed curtains. No knocks on door would be answered. "**** off we're not in" would be the shout out the window if anyone called before, during or after game. Now I always must wear my Rovers shirt.
