Iāve rebranded but yes, I plan to go. Wonder will it be like 2002? when the fixed KK v chipp for Croke Park and only a small crowd went and loads of giving out about the venue? It was a thriller with Henry kicking the winning point
I was one of the few at it - one of the great games.

PUC is a brilliant stadium but itās an absolute prick of a ground to get to and to get away from.
NP is very well placed with plenty of places to eat and drink around it and you tend to be able to get away from
It handy enough on a match day.

I was hoping to take the train to Thurles.
The station in Cork is a nice bit from the park unfortunately.
About half hour walk
Too far for some lads clearly
Agree about PUC. But thatās not really the issue here. Itās a national final that will be lucky to attract 10k to it (probably 9.5k from Limerick)
They could have tossed for it or played it Easter Monday in Thurles. Either of those two options would have brought 20 k and a way better atmosphere

Easter Monday would clash with the Liam Lynch memorial. You couldnāt be doing that.

A national final for a competition that is always treated shabbily by TV hosts and pundits alike.
The GAA need to have a long hard look at themselves too and their handling of this competition.
It is a bit a of a basket case now.
Agree completely and deciding to drag kilkenny in particular to Cork for it just shows more contempt. May as well have sent us all up to Clones
Fuck them, they donāt travel anyway.

Or tell her have it on the table at 8AM
I told her lamb sandwiches will be ideal

The Tipp lads wouldnāt be having such notions!
A lamb sandwich with a good shake of salt is lovely.

Well said Mike itās a disgrace
Dash of salt on it with some home made brown bread. Iād much prefer lamb cold than as a roast

A vastly underrated condiment.
