glad it had sold out for liams family. on another note it is funny how people will pay 40-50 euro to see a load of 40 something retired players, play a friendly game but it would never cross their minds to go watch a competitive league of ireland game for 15-20 euro. they would rather get a plane to manchester or liverpool to watch "their" team play.

Most of those playing in the match are more entertaining in their 40's than most LOI players.

how many loi games have you been to? and where have you seen roy keane play lately?

Cienciano

Great that this is sold out. People need to concentrate on the game and forget any politics or points scoring, none of it matters, especially at this stage. Hopefully it's a high scoring fun exhibition match and good weather.

I go to about 3 or 4 a year. If I didn't work weekends I'd have a season ticket I just think the standard is poor and the game day experience is poor. Not the leagues or the clubs fault but it's just the way things are in my opinion.

major bill

Each to their own, people have different interests and the line up is impressive and for a great cause so a no brainer why this event is sold out. For Nostalgic purposes it would be great to see some of those faces on a pitch again.

strange that you would insult loi yet go to loi games.
and when have you seen roy keane, saha, scholes etc play last to know they will be more entertaining that a loi game?

It was a flippant remark not meant to be taken seriously. I don't think being honest in my opinion of the standard of LOI is insulting. It is what it is I'll still go and enjoy myself but I'm not going to kid myself about the standard either. As I said before it's not the players/clubs/leagues fault that it has massive competition for sports in this country and having a massive bohemoth next door which it has no chance if ever competing with. Is it worth argiung over I have my opinion you have yours.

takes place next tuesday, looking forward to going down

Are they actually going to mark out the pitch in PUC with Soccer markings or just use the GAA sized pitch (which is a hell of a lot longer and wider)

I’ll take a wild guess and go for the pitch to be marked out for the sporting event that’s taking place.

Why do you bother going then?

Because nothing beats live football. Even if the match day experience isn't great or the standard isn't great (and can attest to both being a Limerick fan) you still wanna support your local team and local lads that might be at the club.


Is this game sold out or can tickets still be got?

GavRedKing

If anyone is thinking of driving down, we just got this from work, we're located close to the stadium.

From 11am onwards a one way system will be operational so exiting on to the Monaghan Road will be a left turn only.

Coming from the city you will be directed down Centre park Road, Link Road and out Monaghan’s Road

The match finishes at 4.45pm and there will be a hold of all traffic to allow pedestrians priority after the match - the roads won’t open again until 5.45pm which will mean considerable vehicular congestion after that point when cars can move again.

There will be a few extra spaces available behind the lodge on the Blackrock Road from lunch time onwards.

Have a spare 50 EUR stand ticket if anyone is looking for one feel free to pm me.

Just a quick note if you're driving to Cork.....

If you're coming from the Jack Lynch tunnel then try to avoid the Skehard Road, it may be better to head towards the City

Skehard Rd has had major roadworks for a couple of months and they've started resurfacing it which is making matters worse. I came along it at 2.30pm this afternoon and what normally takes me ten minutes took my 35 minutes - given the traffic likely tomorrow, that could be even worse.

Just a thought as I don't want any of you to miss the match

Dark Savior

Hi all,

Due to work commitments, I can no longer attend the Liam Miller game. I have three terrace tickets that can go to anyone for free. I'd just like to see them go to someone who may have missed out. I've this posted in the Soccer tickets forum too.

First to PM me can have them.

Thanks.

Saw an ad saying Virgin Sport. So MUTV it is for me.

Virgin announced that it's FTA on Virgin 3 or whatever they call TV 3 now. Don't rely on the TV guide.

Massive tailbacks in castlemartyr

Imagine might not see the start of the game, any chance they will delay kick off

I know it's only a tribute/charity/friendly, but that was never ever a penalty.

I can't see this United team beating Liverpool or Man City this season.

Based on this Kilmarnock should be in the Premier League too.

You can bet your arsé there was never going to be anyone but a Corkman score the first. We’re like Chinatown.

Hope Martin is keeping an eye on Keane. Great finish.

Its always been Robbie's dream to score in Páirc Uí Chaoimh

Nice that a Corkmam scored the first ever soccer goal at PUC.

Would really love if the Ireland national team could play in the ground once a year or so, especially games that the Aviva wouldn't sell out for.

45,000 fans in Cork is better than 45,000 fans in Dublin as that's where basically all games are played anyway. There's enough soccer fans in Cork and surrounding counties to ensure big turnouts.

The pitch is absolutely massive.
