Eircom League ground guide....

kensutz

Just wondering if people are interested in compiling an Eircom League ground guide which will include directions, parking etc. Maybe the mods would then make it a sticky so people could use it to get to away grounds and know in advance where to park, drink and enjoy the games.

Might get more interest here in an EPL list

But seriously, yeah good idea.

therecklessone

If anyone is going to take this on, I suggest you check http://www.footballgroundguide.com/ for some ideas.

That's an excellent site btw.

I was hoping of doing something similar to it. Would be handy for people to get a quick guide and directions.

I'm sure with the amount of LoI fans on here we could compile one.

Alan Smith

I'll do one for UCD.

Perfect one there on Tolka.

monkey9

Just wondering where the entrance is for UCD. I know where the ground is, (number 10 bus up to UCD itself right?) But how do you get into the stadium?

chopperbyrne

Most of the clubs websites have directions to the grounds on them.

gucci

Longford Town FC directions are pretty well done on their website

If you want to suggest where to eat before hand, if you want fast food then there can only be the one and only Luigis (Maint St.) or for a nice pizza deli burger (Ballymahon ST.) is the place to go.

For something a bit nicer theres the Black Olive or Aubergine restaurant, both in the town on Ballymahon Street.
