    Away supporters that behave themselves are always welcome and depending on the club even in the Lilywhite lounge in Oriel. Kennedys should be fine but like anywhere else if a large group turn up chanting or looking like they have been on the cans they are likely to be refused entry. Other than that there shouldnt be a problem and us Dundalk fans enjoy the chat and debate with fellow LoI fans pre and post match! A 2 year old would know which club's supporters are received with most trepidation.

    A Corkman owns the Glen Gat B&B close to the center of town and ideal for Oriel Park. Good place to stay.

    If staying over as the crowds disperse I'm sure you would be welcomed in to the Club Lounge - be warned though that it will be jammers if we win the title and getting a pint could be as tough as a league win! Kennedys is the spot before the game. Before the Youths final last year I think was talking to a few Cork people, the bar got one of the local papers for them with a write up on the final, all the players were profiled and as these Cork folk were family of one of the players it was much appreciated by them. We all had a great chat about LoI and all Irish football stuff. We al met up again after the game. Glen Gat is a lovely place to stay. If you are in town early enough and want some food as soakage :p The Jockeys would be a reasonably priced option with portions that most would struggle with. I wouldnt leave it too late to head to Kennedys purely due to numbers as doors could be closed especially if the league is still on - massive crowd would be expected and many would be hoping for a pre match pint in Kennedys. After and later in the evening the afore mentioned BruBakers, Phoenix, Bartender, all on Park Street and Market bar at the Square would be the better options for a group visiting the town. (Jimmys Bar for some additional Dundalk FC experience too). Ridleys Nightclub is on Park Street too but maybe best not to be wearing colours or any sports type gear; Or back to BruBakers as a late disco bar. Hope you enjoy the trip anyhow but without a league title to celebrate!!!!:D

    Cheers for the info!,kennedys sounds like the spot before the game for sure,wont be wearing colours after the game in around the town,I usually only wear jerseys going to games and thats it.Seems to be a good bit of interest regardless if we've something to play for or not, so there should be a decent away support.

    Brubakers does be empty on a Friday. Might be different if we win the league but most Dundalk fans will be in Oriel, when we won the 1st Division Oriel was packed, even people in the Shed drinking :D untill 7 in morning.

    Could well have but since it got done up, its not attracting the nicest of people through the door (alot of scumbags in it, that cant get in anywhere else)

    My tip would be for them to goto Bartender or Eden (The Garden)

    Didn't know that about BruBakers.
    Always trad/folk music in the Wee House, Anne St., too on Friday nights. Good place to go before venturing down town.

    Brubakers is. €5 cover charge after 11.

    Eden has the same owners as Ridleys so they usually close the bar and start kicking people out a lot earlier than Bru's in the hopes people will go to Ridleys.

    If it was Shamrock Rovers fans not getting in i could understand but why would the pubs not serve the Cork lads?

    agree with 10greenbottles. Cork fans welcome everywhere.

    750 more tickets for Dundalk fans to be made available.

    Cork fans will be welcome in the town.

    It's only "fans" marching through the town chanting "we hate Dundalk" who tend to be looked upon unfavourably.

    Fans should bear in mind that pubs close to Oriel Park will be very busy and may have to restrict numbers

    Why on earth wouldn't any of the pubs mentioned not let Cork fans in for a drink? Very much doubt that to be the case.

    Lads a few of us bought tickets online weeks back, looks like we wont be in the away end,was thinking of standing in front of the main stand or behind the goal?, theres about another 150 ccfc fans in the same position.We were hoping to get into the away end but the temp stand behind the goal seems to have put an end to that idea.

    I'd imagine the club will have to move you to the away section as there's no way they'll want that amount of Cork fans in the home end.

    Not saying anything would happen but you never know, and prevention is always better than cure.
