Andy North Croy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Dublin being the rip-off that it is, we're staying in Cork and getting train to/from Dublin on matchday....great flight deals available with Aer Lingus from Glasgow and Edinburgh....train return Cork/Dublin is 50 Euros and takes aboot 2Hrs 45Mins. Oh, and the Cork TA have promised to look after us well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenforever Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If you have a big group loads of alternative what age group and I can reccommend plenty of towns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishandproud Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Staying in Cork, really? Bizarre if you ask me! City of the game is important for away games, mates stayed in Edinburgh last week and they regretted it big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy North Croy Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Travel up on morning of match so get a few beers on train and in Dublin....also have a few hours in Dublin after game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Long train journey back after a sesh. That's like Glasgow - Aberdeen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantyboy1983 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I had a trip to Cork last year with a mate, we stayed for 5 nights, got to say we had a great time. Not as big as Dublin as you would expect but plenty of bars/clubs/restaurants in the city centre and we had a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City of the game is important for away games, mates stayed in Edinburgh last week and they regretted it big time. Don't know about that I stayed in Szczecin for the Euros and thought it was the best idea ever. I'd recommend any Scots to stay in Galway or Cork and travel to Dublin for matchday. You get a more authentic Irish experience in either city. One issue is the trains don't run that late in Ireland but the bus would take 3 hours and they run through the night.

Dave78 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Galway.Galway. Galway Aye, great city. Full of 'young ones' (burdz!) at university, and great tourist industry so loads of great pubs/clubs. Party city. 10/10, will visit again. Edit: Last time i was in Galway (few months ago) we found a pub that sold pints of Tennents for 2.50 euros. Aye, two-fifty, in Ireland. Cheaper than Scotland ffs! What's not to like Cue......who's running a bus to Cork thread ? Sounds like a job for Helen? Edited November 26, 2014 by Dave78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnCearrbhach Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Dublin in the summer time is the dogs bollocks but maybe I am biased being a dub and all that! I've spent summers in all three and wold take Cork for the added appeal of proper beaches and watersports along with it being a nicer city to spend a day walking around. Festivals in every Irish city every smmer so they're all good craic. Live in Dublin so not talking through my hole although I too am biased. TA be welcome anywhere regardless.

City of the game is important for away games, mates stayed in Edinburgh last week and they regretted it big time. Not at all - I stayed in Hamburg for the game in Dortmund - I like the quiet life. I've been to Dublin numerous times, so I'm considering Cork as I've never been there. teecee- is organizing an outing to the races at Clonmel (departing from Cork), which makes it an even more attractive proposition.

kevincronin2000 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 and has the added "attraction" of Cork City v Bray on the Friday night! Cork City have the largest home attendances in the league and have now signed ex celtic and HIBS midfielder Liam Miller, even though bray wouldn't be the biggest attractions, Cork has one of the best match day atmosphere in the league.

Likewise. Went to Bruges day of the game in Brussels. Like doing other things whilst away. Racing at Chepstow, Oya Festival in Oslo etc. Actually based in Donegal for this game.
