August 16th - Come to the biggest GAA Beers ever.

Flukey

I think there will be a lot of us in Croke Park on Saturday. From what I can see, most people have tickets. Now I know a lot of you will have your own friends to meet afterwards and set places to meet them, but do consider popping into us. You'll make lots of new friends. There'll be Boardsies and other friends there. It'll be mostly Dubs, but there will be a few Tyrone people too. PM Blackbelt, Nalced_irl, TirEoghain or myself and we'll give you mobile numbers. That isn't even necessary as you know where to find us: in Madigan's on O'Connell Street, beside the Gresham. It's always a busy pub, but the crowd turns over fairly quickly, so we usually get seats without having too long to wait. We usually stay for a while too. Check TirEoghain's thread with the photos to help identify us. As ever, all are welcome. So I hope we'll see a few new faces and that some of you will keep coming after that. It's over a year since we started meeting and we always have a great time. Post in here if you intend to come, so we can know who to expect.

The Rain and a massive hangover stoped me from popping in the last time..Ill try and swing round for a couple tomorrow. ! I have Tir's number.

kaimera

I *might* be able to swing by on Sat.

Play it by ear like.

Will pop in at some stage hopefully. Depends where we can get parking...or if we get the train from Maynooth.

Flukey

Good, that's at least two newbies. It would be better to go for a few before going for the train, as it will give time for the crowd to dissipate, rather than heading straight for it after the match.

GalwayDub2

Thats true..........and it will give time for the flood waters to go down! Took us from 6:30 until nearly 11:00 to get to Blanchardstown last saturday after the galway match..:rolleyes:

I have an exam on Monday morning so Saturday is perfect for me

Just to let you know that there's a Tipperary GAA gig in The Temple Bar Pub (owned by Tipp man) tomorrow night, I'll be heading there after Madigans and I'll be bringing as many as I can in tow.

If i can walk........

Flukey

...or swim.

Yavvy

ok im all set ... got my rubber dingy with me.. C'mon the dubs

Flukey

I hope it is a blue and navy one.

Mad Dog

I'll eventually get to one of these days but unfortunately I can't make it tonight.

I hope you all have a great time

On my way shortly and looks like a wet one today....

Flukey

A great night was had by all.

smashey

Especially TirEoghain I'd imagine.

Flukey

Yes, and other Tyrone friends amongst us. We'll be meeting them again in two weeks from now for the semi-final and will have another good evening. Dublin's season may be over, but we'll roll on. He's up to Tyrone today, Blackbelt is otherwise engaged, but I'll be in Croke Park. I'll be heading off soon. I'll be home a bit earlier than last night.

GalwayDub2

Hope you all had a good night. I didnt make it.......I drove up from Kilkenny with my sister, took us 5.......yes........5 bloody hours to get to Dublin with the floods. We left at 11:00 and just about made it at 3:55! Legged it to the car after the game to get ahead of the traffic and hit the floods again :mad:
