- Personal abuse

- Rumours about players'/managers'/anyone's personal lives.

- Trolling.

- Accusations of trolling. Report a post if you suspect it to be trolling.

Bit of nerves kicking in after listening to that. All this talk of "there's always a big game in Cork" is having an effect.

Have a feeling that Cork will be up for this, lots of comments flying around the Cork sites about the "insult" of not playing in the Parc this weekend...

This game was never going to be played in the new Pairc ui Chaoimh because it has to be in a neutral venue.The insult is more to do with the first inter-county game in the new Pairc being played at the same time as the footballers game (well roughly the same time).
But being insulted is nothing new for Cork footballers

There's an easy to miss Eddie Rockets as well off the Coonagh Roundabout (big roundabout opposite the Tesco I mentioned) - next to the Travelodge. I've eaten there a couple of times and it's been fine.

If you're down really early and have time to kill, you could take the tunnel and take one of the other exits and come in via the Dublin Road or something, would give you more options in Castletroy, Annacotty etc (eg Finnegans) but probably not worth it if you're tight for time

Mayo should win if they play to their potential, but they must start the game competitively this time! Dunno what's been going on with the warm-ups etc. but they've started the game 15 minutes after the opposition far too often this season.

There is a shopping center called the Jetway or something like that, it's more or less across the road for the stand side of the ground, about 5 mins walk.

Jetland?

Good shouts but both likely to be jammers I would say

Depends on the times I suppose but worth a try anyway. There's a BBs or something inside the Jetland I think as well, probably has the usual packaged sandwiches and things if it's still there.

Just seen it shared on Facebook. Durty Nellys in Bunratty are doing a €15 deal, main course and transport to/from the game (5 min walk).

I'm sure it'll be fun getting back but it's an option.

Some good options there, thanks Cartman78 and keane2097.

Ardhu bar is a five minute walk and does passable grub. There's also Ivan's cafe a couple of minutes in the other direction.

Looking to find somewhere to get lunch within walking distance of the grounds if possible.

Did the town parking, lunch and walk out when we played Kerry in that infamous semi-final, but to be honest, its a very long way out to walk, especially on the elder folks with us.

Doesn't have to be too fancy, just a filling lunch, and minimising the walk to the ground.
Was thinking of the Radisson and then driving in after eating, but might hit trouble with parking closer to throw-in.
Ideally looking to find a place within 15 mins walk of the ground.

You'd be doing well to find somewhere decent within that range tbh (unless I'm forgetting somewhere obvious) - there's loads of Centras, Mace etc. but sounds like you're looking for somewhere to sit down.

The Radisson is an option alright but you could hit serious traffic (unless you fancy going in the back roads via Moylish, Moyross etc. - if the LIT car park was open that could deffo work well).

There's also the Greenhills Hotel on the Ennis Road - you might even be able to leave the car there I'd say but could be a nightmare to get out of.

Loads of parking and free, used it the day of "that game" and it was dead handy.

That's the Jetland.....word of caution though...they've copped on to match-goers parking there before (not that there's that many big games in the Gaelic Grounds :rolleyes:) so there might be marshals out blocking non-shoppers.

If you fancy a slightly longer walk (and possible quicker getaway) I'd consider the Tesco carpark at Coonagh....it was meant to be a massive retail park but only a Tesco there so squillions of spaces...probably a 15-20 min walk but will save you time sitting in traffic on the way out.

LIT Car Park is a good shout too if open - also has the advantage of a quick getaway on the back roads (Cratloe, Moylish, Sixmilebridge).

For those feeling a bit more adventurous - you could pop through the tunnel and spin up the Dock Rd and park in a multi-storey for a couple of hours. Would be €3.80 in tolls and around €1.80 an hour for parking....but would deffo get you on the motorway than going the other way.

Anything further south than the Dock Road is likely to be full of schnakey Cork fans :pac:

Anyway, feel free to ask any other Limerick related questions

Limerick IT car park could be open. I'd be parking that side of the city anyway.

Don't worry, there is a backup cunning plan should the original cunning plan be circumvented. But the original cunning plan included aspects of mis-information, so who knows really

All joking aside this is a serious worry.Jason Doherty isn't starting and Kevin McLoughlin is no longer a viable option.

Of the six starting forwards the last day I'd imagine the burden would fall on Conor Loftus.

It really does not bare thinking about,disastrous scenario.
