Lovely stadium really good venue but absolute nightmare getting there. Must have been nearly a 10 mile tail back outside Cork. Ridiculous carry on with no traffic management in place.Fu*king traffic lights on the roundabout holding thousands up. Think there was 28 thousad there but it'll put a lot of people off travelling again with that crack waiting for you.

lovely stadium but its in the wrong place. if you were picking a venue most unsuitable for a 45k stadium in cork the site its on would be ideal.what ever beauty came up with it the first time should have been got rid of promptly..i suspect hes still in place overseeing parc de franc!!

No, no proper roads into Cork from either county, Dublin is the best option as it has decent roads, mostly motorways, rail, buses and a fairly decent city transport system with the Luas and the Dart and Dublin Bus

i didnt get to the game as i was working,but i was talking to 2 people last night,one went up to the M8 at abbeyleix,the other went ross youghal midleton.
i heard the traffic was not bad,the parking was a nightmare and the walk to the ground was even worse.
but i heard the stadium is great,but the location is brutal
