    Nearest senior club would be Dundalk F.C., I'm about a 45 minute drive to Oriel Park through Carrick. Second nearest is Monaghan, which isn't too much longer than the trip to Dundalk.

    20 minutes by train / walking to Celtic Park. Drive on match days? forget it. Drive non match days - about 10-15 minutes.

    Distance: about 5 miles


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,070 ✭✭✭✭event


    10 minutes drive from Drogheda
    15 minutes drive from Dundalk

    don't really support either


  • Registered Users Posts: 264 ✭✭Leejo


    Driving - 20 to Tolka, 25 to Dalymount.

    Genuinely surprised at the lack of non LOI fans in here...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭UpTheSlashers


    1 Hour and 5 minutes driving from here to Turners Cross, but a 5 minute walk to my local junior clubs field. Not the hardest decision in the world.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,154 ✭✭✭ImpossibleDuck


    About 45 mins to the Brandywell and probably close to an hour to Finn Park.

    Pfft, barstooler. There's absolutely no excuse for not supporting your local club on a regular basis.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Live closer to Dalymount than Tolka, but was closer to Tolka when I sarted supporting Shels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,611 ✭✭✭carlop


    5 mins to the Bernabeu, 14 mins to the Calderon. I only frequent the latter, and it takes about 30 mins by Metro.

    Rayo Vallecano's stadium would be about 20 mins drive, I guess Getafe would be about the same but I've never been.

    Back home Bray is 15 mins away and Belfield 22 mins away.

    About 60km or 50mins to the RSC but I prefer to take the extra thirty minutes making the 115km journey to Tallaght.

    15 - 20 mins to the X


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    In terms of driving, if you weren't dealing with traffic and lights, growing up it would be 5 minutes to Tolka. Living in town at the moment so it's about five minutes the home of football, Richmond Park!

    Also, where the hell is the Red Bull Arena? Seen it mentioned a few times. Is that the US or Austria?

    I'd imagine so.

    They were the army team during the Communist era so it's believed that their success, like that of Dynamo Berlin in East Germany, was down to being backed by power. Since the 90's, they've been going downhill.

    FWIW, the Dukla Prague that plays in the First Division now isn't the original Dukla Prague. The original Dukla merged with a smaller side from outside Prague in the late 90's and the name was dropped.

    The Dukla Prague that now plays in the First Division were called Dukla Dejvice but changed their name to Dukla in the early 2000's. They joined the league in the Second Division when they bought the place of a team that had gone bankrupt.
