Few minutes is all. Couldn't be closer really, other side of shopping center.

Anyone recommend places to park for the Kilkenny gig? Coming in from the Waterford side. Thanks

Would he make the journey up for a pint only to have to head back down again tomorrow,

I guess its possible.

Well it's one of the best, but Billy Byrnes is good,. If you have time try Cleers or Ryans on Friary St. Tynans at Johns bridge. Man, your in Kilkenny, so many good pubs.

So according to my facebook sources:

He was in burdocks earlier today
And then working off his fish and chips in the gym above in Tescos on Baggot St later

Yeah thanks the above are all decent options, just trying to steer clear of the pubs that offer Budweiser/Diageo/Heineken/Coors pee only.

Pitch is covered. Park and rides wont be of course but i dont think the heavy thundery showers have got into the ground too much after a very dry 2 months. No wellys needed unless its your choice of fashion

Meangadh

It's Bruce Day! Again! Woohoo!

So excited!

Enjoy everyone!

It is currently sunny in Kilkenny. That means nothing though. The weather can change in minutes. I think it's meant to be kind of showery later on but nothing too bad I hope.

Parking area shouldn't be muddy unless the ground is completely crap. Don't bother with them. You'd need them for a total of 20 seconds if anything.

stop animal cruelty

anyone queing for the pit for 2maro? where bouts do I go to get a number? on the way up now

RonyPonyBah

Thanks for the update. So it seems that you were ok at 1pm. I am thinking in terms of tomorrow which will prob be a little more difficult.
