ormond you can travel on national roads/motorway all the way from ennis to thurles and therefore anywhere before ennis to thurles. you can go via train from ennis to limerick and then thurles quite easily.

janesboro can you - well the usual way from limerick city to thurles is via nenagh borroleigh and drom - please advise what national road goes from nenagh to thurles, if going from east calre youd use that route too buses can be arranged booked if you dont want to go on the trains. Janesboro its very easy to go via train from ennis to limerick to thurles. there is regular trains(not at moment as line has works going on ...)

ormond: and for cork fans. thurles is just off the m8 motorway to cork and thurles is on the main cork dublin train line so thurles is perfectly between cork and clare
janesboro: what bus routes directly do from ennis and cork to thurles ?
janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:1355 - 20/06/2017 13:51:58why focus so much on buses? thurles is on the main train line. thurles easily accessible.

please advise of which corporate events have taken place before a musnter final
please advise have either this years football or hurling finals got corporate events
janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:1355 - 20/06/2017 13:53:48 go to plenty of hotels or contact clubs and they will have events before games....

Probably heresy to say this as a Limerick man but my favourite venue for a hurling match is Thurles. The experience might be better in Croker with fancy burgers in nice wrapping for a ball of cash but Thurles just has something special about it.

I've been to a lot of games in our own ground in Limerick and the ones that live long in the memory are of course the day Ciaran Carey got that greatest score of all time and the 2013 Munster Final, but when we have won in Thurles there is usually a massive sense of achievement, like that 1994 Munster Final for example. Plus there was our Intermediates winning the All-Ireland there against Kilkenny in 1998 and the 3 in a row side from the U21 run 2000-2002 won all three All-Ireland's there as well as the 2002 Munster U21 final.

Lastly the Feile's there in 1992-94 were massive craic too.

question for you ormond
which is close to whitegate/east care - limerick or thurles ,
which is closer to ennis - limerick or thurles
which is closer to mallow or charleville - limerick or thurles
you can google map the answers if stuck
the game should be in limerick end of
of course ormond will be giving me the thumbs down now!!!!
janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:1355 - 20/06/2017 14:19:01Janesboro. you are trying to make it out that thurles is in bloody outer mongolia. and can you ever grow up whinging about red thumbs!!!
the game shouldnt be in limerick "end of". i know its your home county but christ open your eyes some what. Why is limerick rarely chosen over thurles for big games. people simply prefer thurles for lots of reasons.

anesboro times have week and truly moved on. You said to me above that all you get in any ground is taytos and chocolate. That is so far off the mark it's untrue.

i didnt say that mike check my post

Any modern ground now has hot food and a bar. Compare the set up at the back of either stand in Thurles to what is available in the Gaelic grounds.

hot food and a bar ah come on mike its a match your going to if you want hot food and a bar to to a pub or a restaurant!!
how do you cope at club games!!

eat before the game people and bring a snack/sandwich/drink with you
you have a shop a lidls a supermacs which are closer to the mackey stand than the open stand side is, if you that hungry get a takeaway and bring it in, youve got a pub accross the road better than any under the stand bar.

are you telling me at half time on thursday when we take on tipp in 21s that the first thing on your mind will be a dinner and a pint, coz at that stage my mind will be on the game and id bet yours as well!!! no more than yourself ill be too tense to be eating and drinking

by the way i love thurles as a venue- just love the place despite all the beatings we have taken there - but this game should be in limerick

ormond please advise what national road goes from nenagh to thurles,

and if there are so many corporate events in hotels - there are a multitude of such hotels in limerick capable of holding same

Janesboro. you are trying to make it out that thurles is in bloody outer mongolia. and can you ever grow up whinging about red thumbs!!!

i am not i am merely making the point that limerick is more accessible to clare people and even some cork people than thurles is
-maybe you can show me some facts that suggests thurles is closer to clare than limerick -

Likewise if we lose we would have a long way to travel to Cork..

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:1363 - 20/06/2017 14:57:43it is a match people are going to and people want to be comfortable at a game and you are very arrogant to say if you want hot food at a game go to a pub. People want the best of standards in facilities and saying if you want hot good or a bar go to a pub/restuarant is very arrogant. So should Thomond Park get rid of its bars and food stalls then? Should Croke Park do the same?
It is far from as simple as saying just bring food with you. people quite often dont want to travel carrying a large bag with food for 2/3/4 or more people. what if you are in a large group?
Can you name any major stadium that willingly decided to remove all facilities as fans were just bringing their own food? You live in a very naive world if you think that people will all just bring food with them.
Dont be naive. Saying peoples minds are just on the game and they wont be able to eat. That affects very few people in the overall percentage of attendees at a game.

them each brings their own food

why else are they going to the match if their aint going to be focused on the game

i give up so i do --next thing youll be telling me €10 is great value for junior hurling - same price it will cost be for the tipp game on thursday night where the €10 for that game is excellent value

if you actually bothered to go to a championship game you will see lots of people do a helluv lot
go to any of the car parks aroudn thurles on championship day - people in every car do be eating sandwiches and having picnics in the car , its part of championship tradition

Boro you are like a dog with a bone. Just let it go. Limerick is a run down dilapidated stadium. That's why it doesn't get any big games bar it's one owed to us. It's as simple as that.
