Or alternatively a good pizza place. Thanks

Cavehill Red

Near the what, now?

Sorry, near the Aviva stadium.

Never heard of it.

You must have had your head up your arse for the last year then.... what other possible reason could you have for not knowing what the OP is talking about. Unless you're trying to make a silly point...

Anyway OP, AFAIK there's no KFC anywhere near the stadium. Doubt you'll have any trouble finding a decent pizza though.

Aviva is some foreign insurance firm with an office on Hatch Street. No stadium or KFC near there, as far as I know.

here.from.day.1

The Aviva Stadium is a sporting stadium located in Dublin 4, with a capacity for 51,700 spectators (all seated). It was built in 2007 after an older stadium was demolished to make way for the new one on the same site.

FYI

HTH.

Oh, you mean Lansdowne Road?
No KFC near there either.

There's a nice pizza/pasta place on Sandymount Green or most kinds of fast food available on Baggot St.

Yes the Aviva Stadium is located in Lanesdown Road, Dublin 4.

Nearest KFC would either be in town (Jervis\Parnell St.) or maybe Rathmines.

Which is a good mile and a half away from Lansdowne Road.

No, i'm pretty sure the OP meant the Aviva Stadium.

Landsdowne Road is where it is located alright, but if he wanted to know whether or not there was a KFC near this particular road, he'd have asked.

But he didn't, he asked was it near the stadium.

if you haven't heard of the stadium, there is plenty of information about it on the internet.

Good luck getting yourself educated

Cavehill's point seems somewhat lost. He doesn't want to address our national sports stadium, which we have paid for after a foreign health insurance company, which is fair enough.

Not really. Isn't it 2010?

I know what his point is, but it's a silly one!

Cavehill Red

Yes, it's 2010 and some of us aren't sheep who'll sell out our sporting heritage because the crooks in the FAI tell us to.
Try calling Lansdowne Road the effing aviva on some of the soccer discussion boards in this country and see the reaction you get from actual football fans.

That's not from the pizza joint to the stadium, but from the extremity of one road to the extremity of the other. Try again.

Football? You mean that foreign game?

Tell me, your name of "Red". is this a reference to affiliation of love for a particular sporting team?

TJJP

No KFC in the area or anywhere near.

Best option would be Miller's Pizza Kitchen, 50 Upper Baggot Street, no more than 10 minutes walk to Lansdowne.

No, it's not foreign at all. It's widely played here in Ireland, and many of its finest proponents, not to mention rulemakers, have been Irish.

That, and socialism. It's also my favourite colour, since you ask.

I know, but he is being an absolute tit about it.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.Should be in Dublin at 6 on Friday before the match, so might chance the one in Parnel street if I have time. Orherwise that Millers Pizza place mentioned will do the job.

OP, there's a four star pizza on Shelbourne road but that's take away. The chop house serve food but not sure what it's like.

Junior's on Bath Avenue is does good pizza.

Aviva is widely used here in Ireland, and many of it's finest offices, and not to mention subsidiraies, have been in Ireland

That, and socialism. It's also my favourite colour, since you ask.

So which team is it that you support?

And then look at the second, which at least has the benefit of being objectively written, rather than corporate whore BS.

So what? Just because the FAI says so doesn't mean you need to bow on bended knee to corporate BS.
Lansdowne Road is part of Irish sporting heritage, a heritage that some insurance company with no historical involvement in the sport or claim over its past can only purchase ownership of when the public allow them to.
I don't intend to allow them to.

Cliftonville and St Pats, primarily. Though I have an interest in most European leagues due to dropping in on various teams at different times.

The guy asked about kfc or a pizza. Piss off acting a smart tit nobody is interested in listening to you.

Aviva gave irish sport €40 million for the right to call it that... Seriously get over it

So, let me get this straight.......... you support a foreign sport. And you support different European leagues in this foreign sport. And the only team from the Republic of Ireland you DO support has the name of a Japanese car manufacturer emblazoned on it's shirt.................

But you have a problem with Aviva?

Clownery my friend!

shotcaller

Surely the question should be why does the OP want to go to a KFC in the first place! :P </joke>

All the stuff about the name of the stadium is incredibly boring. Landsdown road is the name of the road the stadium is on. Aviva have paid (a lot of money) to the IRFU and the FAI to have their name associated with it. In a few years, Guinness might give money to have their name on it. Though they're an English company now, and prob won't be allowed as it's alcohol.

Cavehill Red, just stop being a tool.

No, I follow a global sport.

Yes, they do, but you know something? I never refer to the team by the name of a Japanese car, and I don't think any other fan does either.
BTW, are you suggesting I support more than one team in the League of Ireland? I think it's common that most people would follow one team in any given league, no?

No, I'm sure they're a fine insurance firm. But they didn't buy me off.

Is Lansdowne Road a global stadium or an Irish one?

That doesn't mean we have to call it that though. The Europa League Final is on in a stadium off Lansdowne Road next year, but it's not in the Aviva Stadium.

Shouldn't KFC be IFC, seeing as it's fried here? :pac:

You don't have to call anything anything.

But getting your knickers in a twist over good business is ridiculous!

Patricide

Seriously, its the Aviva stadium to a lot of people, you knew what he meant and being pigheaded about the whole thing didnt help anyone.

I bet youd feel annoyed if the time your talking about landsdown road and someone says "o im sorry, I dont know what place, I only know the aviva stadium".

Quite simply put, its all well and good when you want to use the old name for tradition and heritage sake, just dont be a dick to other people because they want to use to official name(and yes i know by Uefa its Dublin stadium).

Not required.

He was trolling, it's as simple an open and shut case as I've seen.

In light of that, and as a warning to others who may think about doing similar in future, I think a one month ban is required here.

The reason for that is because there the user in question trolled a few posters, and dragged the thread completely off topic in doing so.

We don't put up with that crap around here.
