where have I said that we shouldnt be looking to expand the game?
I was merely responding to a post that said RL wouldnt be played at Donnybrook (which it has), and offering the view that it is a dump (which it is) and isnt ideal to get to (which it isnt IN MY EXPERIENCE. We pretty much stumbled on the stadium after travelling past it on a random bus from the city.
12,000 people travelling on a few buses from Dublin isnt an ideal situation.
finally - knowing which bus to gets only helps if you have that information in advance and know where to get the bus from.
Sorry....maybe I was OTT.
As a pub crawl, it's not an ideal route, but (and I am going back to 82) there are 2 bars near by Keileys and madigans, busses every 5 minutes on 2 routes as above and it is about 4 or 5 euros in a cab from St Stephens Green
It has been refurbed and although as I am biased I played there as a schoolboy and then as a bective player, i fully appreciate it could do with a lick of paint, but then again...have you been to wakey/castleford/salford or K-road recently
Not saying it would have to be here, but if planned correctly and with the right potential investors invited, this could be a great showcase event for SL in ireland.
