Everyone knows where to park. If your listening to Local knowledge you will end up paying a fortune and having to taxi it from the Q park.

It took a family member of mine an eternity to get through the traffic yesterday, he parked in fairview himself (up from limerick).

But hey, what's the point in listening to locals, sure what would we know........

Funny enough I live on the avenue...... And it was fine itself, until leaving it.

I'm not arguing this with you. I think I know my area well enough after all these years.... Yawn

Hmm I live near enough to Croker and have a driveway I don't use. Wonder how much I could make renting it out on matchdays...

Jesus, give it a rest you two. Unless both of you were standing there looking at the exact same parking spot, at the exact same time, on the exact same day, you can hardly know precisley what the other is talking about.

Just on the thing that has people paying for 2 or 3 tickets which last for 2 or 3 hours each. There's a park by txt option that I use all the time for work.

The number is 53311 and the message you send is

Park (zone parked in) (amount of time you want to park for) (car reg) m

I'm not sure what the zone is around croke park but the signs which show parking times are colour coded.

For instance if I want to park in a yellow zone for one hour I txt

Park yellow 60 151Dxxxxx m

The beauty of that is if you get held up you just fire off another txt.

Hope it helps someone and sorry for the longwinded post.

I heard there is an app for this. Somebody used it last sunday. If i can find out the name of it I will post it.
We parked behind quins. Put 3 tickets on the dash and we were fine. I didnt count on extra time tho!

Parking seems to have tightened up a lot since this topic started

Obviously with the Leinster Final tomorrow night, there are no late trains heading towards Kilkenny or Kerry after the Leinster Final which may potentially go to Extra Time and Penalties

Consequently anyone travelling will need to drive and park, or park and ride.

Once upon a time I used to park for night time games on one of the side streets at the back of Quinns, but these are now all 2 hour pay parking up to midnight 7 days a week.

The commuter train from Maynooth now takes 40 minutes to and from Drumcondra, whereas previously it used to take only 28 minutes.

The Luas to the Red Cow is probably the best option now for a Saturday night game that is not sold out

Much better option would be to hop on the luas green line rather than the ‘tallaght-fornia’ version. You can safely park your 4 x 4 Beemer or Merc at say carrickmines ‘park & ride’ with little or no chance of it having it ‘hot wired’, alloys/radio robbed or ‘keyed’ by a chav with a baseball cap/hoodie

I actually used the Red Cow - Park and Ride for the Leinster Hurling Final.

I recall being on a Luas to the Red Cow back around 2008 and it took 50 minutes from Abbey Street to the Red Cow.

Recently for the Leinster Hurling Final, I had walked from Croke Park to Busáras and was on the M7 within 50 minutes. Equivalent travel time from Abbey Street to the Red Cow was probably 35 mins or less.

I have often used the Maynooth to Drumcondra line which is most convenient but the travel time is now around 40 mins, whereas back around 2007 it was 29 mins or so. New stations along the line have probably contributed to that.

The 4x4 problem is not a factor. Not within my budget!!!!

Go early and plenty parking down side streets near croke park. Easy Peasy but you have to go early.
