    Instead of going to London, what do you reckon the chances are of getting the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick for an afternoon kickoff? 50,000 capacity and still in our own country.

    So you reckon there would be 50,000 at a friendly on a Wednesday afternoon in Limerick?

    Because of what Neil said. And I'd imagine weekends around the end of May might already be busy for the GAA.

    A very small chance, I'd prefer to go to Africa

    the vital word there is could, still just a rumour. I would prefer a proper away trip than a trip to London to be honest.

    That only holds about 13000, at a squeeze.

    Won't be completed until Nov. for visit of All Blacks (doubt if they would let the FAI steal their thunder).

    It will only hold 26,000 anyway I think.

    I do hope you're right, as it's just a ten-minute walk from chez PP.

    Interesting.

    Is there any chance the new Thomand Park would ever be used for soccer, internationals or otherwise? Or am I just being daft?

    I wish they would but there seems to be grim determination to double and triple up on infrastructure. Some of my fellow shannonsiders are also of the opinion that people won't attend LOI unless it's in a "City centre venue".

    I on the other hand contend that, if there was a successful team there competing for things, Limerick could play out of Glin and still get a good crowd. I know there's a chicken and egg conundrum there but there you have it.

    I've never understood why, as far as I know, playing football at Thomond Park has never even been discussed.
    " I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
