Talks of Pairc Uí Rínn being shelved due to no parking in the immediate area after the bus connects project is completed. They’re get a pretty penny for the land tbf.

Pity. It’s a lovely little ground. Ideal for the league

Would that not mean you’d park somewhere else and take the bus there?

Nothing to do with the crippling costs of servicing the PUC debt I’m sure

How crippling are they?

There’s a real earthiness to Pairc Ui Rinn I find.

I agree with you. It’s within walking distance for me.

Great stadium, and is rocking when there’s a nice crowd there with a good game of ball on.

Indeed

That and the whole history as the Flowerlodge, it would be terrible to lose. They should have it as a municiple stadium, bring Cork City and Cork Con in on it too.

You were going grand until you dragged Cons into it

Aren’t they next door anyhow?

They are. They sold off some of their land already and are surrounded by a nice housing development.

Well they couldn’t call it Musgrave Park. Although that’s now Virgin Media Park.

Smart play. Stadium names are irrelevant. A change of name for Croke Park would be a good move as well.

Graeme Mulcahy finished Carkness for all intents and purposes but this is the definitive final nail in the coffin.

They need the cash. Best of luck to them.

They could surely have gone for SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh though instead of SuperValu Park.
