It was the one opposite Gills but was also told that Dorest Street only do "cash sales" on match days.
Didn't realize that taking time off work was now some sort of loyalty test along with spending hundreds of Euros supporting the various teams and the club championships :-)
You only have to go into Dorset St 1-2 times a year. Once, to pick up your Spring Series Master ticket that you get for free, with your Parnell Pass. It is one ticket, that gets you into all our home games. You don't need to go back in again before each game. The one master ticket is good for all of them. Then if we make it as far as the AI final, you have to go in again to pick up your ticket for that. That is it. Two trips a year, it's hardly a trek to the Gobi desert.
During the Leinster and AI champo, you can go back into Dorest St and buy a ticket off them, if you want to. But I don't really see any point in doing that. You can get perfectly decent tickets in Supervalu, or on Tickets.ie
I'm not going to ask you why you were paying for tickets, that you could have got for free, as I don't want you to kick your cat and stomp huffily from the room.

I embrace my inner eegit, so I freely admit to being taken in at first. Then again, I subscribe to the JFK theory of asking not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country. Therefore I don't ask why on earth would towns and cities all across Ireland, erect plaques to the Brogans? I ask why towns and cities all across Ireland, don't erect plaques to the Brogans?
Roscommon team: D O'Malley; S McDermott, N Collins, D Murray; C Daly, S Purcell, R Stack; N Daly, C Shine; F Cregg, N Kilroy, C Murtagh; C Connolly, S Kibride, C Cregg.
Any word on the venue yet. So far, Paddy Power is offering:
Hyde Park 11/2
Croker 10/1
Tuam 8/2
Carrick 7/4
The Bernabeu 6/1
Wembley 12/1
Stadium of Light 20/1
Yankee Stadium 15/1
Tullamore 5/2
I have a cheeky tenner on Tullamore. :rolleyes:0 -

Its raining solid down here for the last 4 hours so I'd say bring the canoe for Cluxton to get from the goalline to the 45 0 -
A few of our lads are booked in o/night in Roscommon :rolleyes: .. sometimes it doesn't pay to forward plan
Think it's 16 years ago was the last time I was in Hyde Pk and I'd virtually guarantee that nothings changed since 2000 - there's still a few grounds that are a throwback in time but virtually all of them have invested in a sand based/drained pitches. Even in a more basic form of a hape of sand and a machine that cores out the soil (like a golf course) should have been introduced by now. I think there was some problem regards ownership or (feudal ties) in Roscommon which prevented large scale investment of the ground - doesn't excuse the pitch tho. The bigger picture also being that the pitch itself doesn't complement the kicking and running style of the current Roscommon team either.
I've booked into the Greville Arms Mullingar - got a great price by mentioning I was a Dublin fan going to the Roscommon game in Cusack Park 0 -

I've seen better club stadiums. Portaloos for the stand and no right place to get a coffee. :rolleyes: Yet you pay premium to get in.0 -

Are as many people staying over for this one, as the Rossie's claim? (And therefore a reason why it shouldn't be moved.) I mean, it's only an hour or so on the motorway to Athlone. Then 20 minutes (on a very good road) until you reach The Primrose Paradise. And it's not like you are facing a 3 hr plus drive back home, on icy, dark roads, in the dead of winter. It never even occured to me to stay over, on either night.
A Saturday night in Mullingar ???.....shudders....
The whole of rossiland is booked out by the travelling fans (or so the rossies are trying make believe)
If you sneezed beside that pitch it would flood again 0 -

Yeah wouldn't occur to me to stay over either tbh .. Killarney is really my only sleepover there's a group out of Swords that run the jolly boys beanos all over the country .. probably all married to a nagging wife/husband with at least 5 kids under the age of 2
Had some crackin nights in Mullingar .. mostly in Canton Caseys .. I wouldn't be one for walking around the place .. thats true
EDit .. should've added that the lads I was talking to couldn't care less at dropping the €40 for the hotel in Roscommon to see a decent game on a decent pitch elsewhere0 -

Minor gone to Carrick-On-Shannon and U21 gone to Sligo. So I'd say ye might end up there yet. There is no way they can leave it until Sunday to make the call. Tomorrow is no better so it will be even worse than last Sunday.
Agreed, should be a good game if the pitch is right. Is it on TnaGee?0 -

Any chance you could lep into one of your own canoes and measure that for us, time wise? Take as long as you want like....;)
Sold the canoe last year, bought a cruiser. If it keeps raining this heavy I can bring the cruiser up the N5 to Roscommon and check it out
Id say the Rossies will be on here in a bit giving you an update.0 -

Gosh, imagine if all those wealthy Rossie sponsors put their money towards something else instead.....oh I don't know....let's say for arguments sake....a proper pitch.
Yeah, that'll do, a pitch. Then in return for that, they get free advertising on & around the pitch, that is being played on by people, who are supported by other people who are watching the game being played on the pitch, both at the ground where the pitch is and, on the tellybox at home.
What an amaaaaaazing concept. That just might catch on. I'm a genius !!!! :eek:Sold the canoe last year, bought a cruiser. If it keeps raining this heavy I can bring the cruiser up the N5 to Roscommon and check it out

They will in their holes. They are all singing from the same hymn sheet. The Hyde was fine. The Hyde is fine. The Hyde will always be fine, until the end of eternity. :rolleyes:
Any chance you & your cruiser could lep onto the Royal Canal and lep down here and give us all a lift? We can put the petrol & toll fees towards the beer & Pringles fund. I'm dammed if the Rossies are getting a brass farthing of my money, when they are so uncaring of player safety & welfare.0 -

How did you know about the Pringles, u stalking me on Facebook again:D:D
Ah you'll make the Hyde in 2 hours from home I'd say. Roads a pretty decent. Can't see any point in staying down.
That bus has spent more time parked up than the "Welcome Home Sam" truck has in Mayo at this stage. Must be the only county with their own bus. Its like a banana on wheels.
The Hyde will be sound lads.0 -

you're clueless
The bus is a great advertisement for the GAA in the county.
no work could have been done on the pitch as no funds could be drawn down due to the ownership issues on the whole ground0 -

Yeah I knew there was something holding the investment back .. The Bull McCabes family must have a stake
