    Where do Donegal fans usually park when playing in Croker?

    A friend of mine usually parks in Clonliffe College, costs €10.

    I use Whitehall Chapel and usually walk to Croker from there.

    I intend using Clonliffe on Sunday week for the hurling final and today I found out a wee bit more about it. When you are leaving the car park they don't allow any cars out for a while to give pedestrians a chance to leave. The other thing is when you exit to the Drumcondra Road they don't allow you to turn right. You have to go left towards the city and then double back if you are heading north. Its only a small thing but it just makes it a bit more awkward.

    For the semi-final in 2012 I parked in Clonliffe College. It was really close to the ground, but took maybe an hour to get out of after the game.

    For the final, I parked in the grounds of Ierne Sports Club in Grace Park Road, next to Tolka Park (look it up in Google Maps). It's an extra 10 minutes walk to the ground, but getting away after the game is a lot quicker.

    I've never been allowed turn right coming out of Clonliffe College but in saying that, it was always bumper to bumper when I've been trying. If ur leaving a little early or a little later, I'd figure turning right should be ok. It's also usually been a long wait to get outta the place.

    The Regency Hotel is 20 mins walk but there's traffic lights so getting out is handy.

    St Vincent's school is also 20 mins walk but it's handy to get away from too.

    I think it was a tenner?

    Wasn't extortionate, anyway.

    Too late for Sunday, but might be relevant for the Final.

    I parked in the Mater car park. Special rate of EUR 6 for the day (9am - 9pm).

    Booked via www.eurocarparks.ie

    Bit of a queue getting out, but it was tolerable.

    I'm going to the hurling final on Saturday evening and I'm wondering does anybody know is there any advantage to coming in via the port tunnel and then turning right for Clonliffe Rd via East wall Rd.
