    It's beside the Sports Centre, near the hockey pitches and to the side of the Biotechnology building. It's where the rugby team plays.

    It's the other side of the campus from Belfield Park.

    A bar just outside spitting distance would be preferable. Or, at least, some sort of spit-guard for your pint.

    It's a condition for the UEFA Licence. Don't worry, it'll be there.

    Belfield Park is here about 10 or 15 minutes' walk away.

    I can too but, to be honest, some students don't wash from September 'til Christmas so it's sometimes hard to tell who you're smelling.

    You say "some students", but basically, we're talking about you, right?

    Please excuse my UCD geography ignorance, but is there vehicular/pedestrian access to the Bowl from Greenfield Park?

    Yeah, there is. I think it's right at the Bowl too.

    Pedestrian only. I don't think there'll be parking allowed there either.

    Walking access is fine for me!

    If Rovers end up playing in Donnybrook it will be a Liverpool-Everton-esque stonesthrow apart derby.
