Hi Lads,

Please recheck your fixture lists for confirmation.

That's very clear cut isn't it.

Google tells me Iveagh Grounds are Crumlin somewhere...

Iveagh Grounds, Crumlin:

Proceed to the Grand Canal heading towards Dolphins Barn, turn onto Crumlin Road. Proceed for .5 mile (Approx) along Crumlin Road through Crumlin Cross Roads. You will see Crumlin Garda Station and a shopping centre on your right. Proceed past the Garda Station and the Shopping Centre, the Guinness Iveagh Grounds are 400 metres past the Shopping Centre and sign posted on your right. When entering the grounds just tell the security that you are playing in the Astro Soccer League. You will be told your dressing room on the night by the security guard. Please obey the rules of the grounds.

It's where St James' Gate used to play in the LoI First Division. Probably still play there. Lovely pitches too

They do still play there. I was up there the other week, smashing pitches.

eh lads, have they got new astro turf pitches in Iveagh grounds now? cos the one that used to be there is the worst pitch I've ever played on - rock hard and full of sand. Would be glad to hear if the astro pitches are improved (given that its on my doorstep n all).

? There's loads of buses that go to Crumlin. and the goldenbridge luas stop is a 15 minute walk from the Iveagh grounds.

LeixlipRed

Two bus minimum from Leixlip or train and luas. That qualifies as a bitch

:eek:

Walk? What's this walk?

Lads, who's giving lifts from town? Half nine kick off ffs, everyone with a car, in town, half eight. Some cars may have to make two trips.

Or we all bale into Sav's van

theres a bus stop right outside the grounds, cant remember which buses go there but im sure that somebody will know it, tis about 20 mins from pearse street. i have played there a few times this year and the pitches are ok.

I assume we'll be playing under the lights? I love playing under floodlights. Brings back memories of playing Home Farm in Whitehall at schoolboy. those were the days

I played there a while ago, a few months - so if they have not changed it since then it is still the one you are thinking of,

i hated playing on it, it is rock hard as you say and covered with sand, and when the ball is bouncing to you - it's impossible to judge - best trying to play it along the ground.

Same one with the wire hanging accross the pitch , the one you would think the ball would never hit but hits on every kick out.
