I agree they should have said sweet fcuk all, but no one has said we dont want to travel. personally i want it in cork and i know plenty of cork people who think from a hurling perspective thurles would suit them better. Now if ye could just let people know what the actual fcuking capacity of yer ground for the final is sometime this month preferably we might be able to sort out a venue. Since we beat tipp ye knew this was a possibility yer great administrators should have had this safety thing sorted weeks ago.

I would prefer the match to be in Cork not Thurles and all the Cork people I have talked to want it there too - and I am living in Limerick so Thurles would actually be easier for me to get to. However as it is the last game before refurbishment it will be a great send off. That is not the point though - the stadium as per CCB is 40,500 not 34,000 as Limerick CB have been putting out there (not even sure how they came up with that). From the reports I have been getting from those in the know it WILL be in Cork.

They come up with this lame excuse because let's face it they don't want to get a hiding in PUC especially after last year's game. Cork are out for their blood and they know it. Hello Limerick welcome to PUC there is no escaping what lies ahead.

I'd imagine remedies were suggested and if the Cork county board have implemented them then fair play to them and it will enhance everyones experience in the stadium. I remember sitting in the uncovered stand and nearly having my knees cut off me by the seat in front of me. If I get a ticket I'll be in the terrace that's for sure!!! Love going to Cork for games - always seems to be sunny - but there are question marks over the capacity so surely ye can acknowledge that. Oliver Mann has been quoted as follows: “I presume what is exercising their mind (Munster Council) is that Pairc Ui Chaoimh can only hold, and I am not wholly sure on this figure, 34,000. There were 43,000 in Limerick last year. If the game was in Pairc Ui Chaoimh there are a lot of people who wouldn’t be able to go to the match. That is a matter for the Munster Council,” outlined Limerick GAA chairman Oliver Mann. “At the end of the day we have a home and away agreement with Cork. Cork honoured that last year and so the Munster final is due to be played in Cork this year. That still has to be sanctioned by the Munster Council. If the game is fixed for Pairc Ui Chaoimh we would have no problem with that, but if the game is in Pairc Ui Chaoimh there will be Cork and Limerick people without tickets,” stressed the chairman.

ShamoBuc wrote: » Yes it helped them, but Cork are to blame for a haphazard performance. Saturday night, balmy conditions about 4000, quiet lead up to the game was an ideal set up for an ambush but they dragged themselves to a win in the last 5 mins. Tip should have been further ahead, they will be devastated not to have won - that in itself tells its own story. Might be the kick in the are that Cork need.
