Rugby fans-where is Croker?

[Derek Wheeler]

Just a quick note to say that Croke Park is the big Grey and Bluish monstrocity off Clonliffe road. Your best bet is to follow the Ireland/Dubs fans who managed to get tickets. However thats probably the last you'll see of them, because they will most likely drink on the northside afterwards, long after you have taken the return trip to a southside hostilery on the hired minibus. But fair play, you're taking steps to reduce your carbon footprint around Croker by not driving the top of the range (as delboy would put it) merc or beamer, while locked out of your brains or lowering yourself to the level of public transport (Dublin Bus style) to the game. Safe driving is very important.

Overall, enjoy and dream of the day that Landsdowne Road is just like Croker. Because thats all that you may do. I believe the Irish Times is setting up a dedicated "Landsdowne in the courts" department.

I'd love to laugh, buts its not very funny due to the chance of truth. (according to Jeremy in Havelock Square)
