We have the numbers, Munster Council have stated 32k, with the possibility to rise to 35k.

Please accept you are wrong.

No more right or wrong than anyone else here. None of us have a clue really how that’s going to go.

The big clue is that the current capacity allowed is a little over 32,000, which has been widely reported, with remedial works that will rise to a maximum of a little over 37,000, as has been widely reported even in the examiner. This is what is being reported, directly by everyone.

For an absolute fact between 11,000 and 6,000 people that attended the Munster final 12 months ago will miss out… Limerick had between 22-26k at last years Munster final alone.
Why would the Munster Council screw over the biggest draw (us) in Munster Hurling?

So you readjusted your figures. Well done, that is a more accurate reflection of the possibilities.
6-8k is not enough to be crying over. Limerick knew the story with the Pairc for the last few years. What they tried to pull is sneaky. They just did it weakly and didn’t match the negotional (political clout/balls) of the Cork lads and lost.
Believe me they hve fucked themselves for a long time with this move. A fucking stupid move that may haunt them down the road. It’s only the Munster Final, it’s not what it was.

A few facts…

  1. The operational capacity of PUC is 32,168 as per the Slattery Report

  2. Proposed remedial works, which involve removing obstacles in the tunnel, have the potential to increase the capacity to 37k.

  3. There weren’t 4 Corkmen at the meeting on Tuesday night. There were two.

  4. The Munster CCC is made up of Frost (Clare) O’Sullivan (Cork) Walsh (Waterford) Ryan (Tipperary) and Moroney (Clare) who doesn’t have a vote as he’s a paid officer. It is completed by 1 representative from each of the 6 counties so the attendance the other night was Clare (3) Waterford (2) Cork (2) Tipperary (2) and 1 each from Kerry and Limerick.

Cork at this point won’t bother with the remedial works as there’s no point spending money on a stadium that’s being demolished shortly. They’ve got the match now and don’t give a fuck beyond that.

32,168 tickets will be issued for the game.

they are the exact same figures I have quoted all along you numpty.

Let me rephrase that for you, what the munster council pulled is hypocritical and sneaky. what the cork county board did was bare faced lie about the capacity.

Oliver Mann said last week he was told by Cork that the capacity would be 40K. Typical lying Cork cunts.

We clearly can’t be relying on Mr. Mann to tell the truth now can we.

Anyway, game on, down the Pairc. It will be great, if you are worth your salt at all you’ll be there.

I think it has swung somewhat to Limerick if Ellis is out. It’s down the middle I think they hurt Cork last year. Although Walsh etc have made a difference Ellis was definitely during up the middle.

Cork should win, but Limerick will be fired up and have a good record against us.

Munster Council: PUC capacity is 32k, might increase to 35k.

:smiley:

Tell @Turenne that, according to him Ellis is only of a standard to play junior hurling.

And Frank Murphy is a bastion of honesty himself, isn’t he.
You are getting the excuses in early there, kid!.

No excuses, Limerick should win this match as Munster Champions and I fully expect them to do so. The Cork lads won’t have met the kind of intensity that Richie, Wayne Mac, Tom Condon and JimBob Ryan will bring to the game since this time 12 months ago.

Dodgy Keeper nailed it in a post above. Fair play to him.

I hope ye all get a ticket lads.

If someone posts something after I have pulled them on lies and they produce the truth then I have done my job.

Cheers, I’m here all week. Gone next week.

Like the way I posted the facts about capacity after your bullshit about capacity?

Anyway, from a neutral perspective, Cork should probably be favourites for the All Ireland at this point. From a Limerick perspective, I think we will win. By 5.

except you pulled someone on the truth, and they reiterated the truth again & again, until it went in your thick skull, eventually.

40 minutes until I drive up the hell hole you call home on the N20 and go watch the minors…

I always leave a guttural roar out of me when I go beyond the sign in Charleville - " you are now entering Limerick".

Yes but i think this Cork team will give Limerick a much tougher test than a mentally brittle Tipp team.People slate our defence but i think there’s greater solidity there now with people like Damien Cahalane and Mark Ellis there.Stephen McDonnell, Shane O’Neill, Conor O’Sullivan, William Egan, Eoin Cadogan Christopher Joyce and Lorchan McLoughlin.I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the personnel in the Cork backs.I think the problem is the way they are set up tactically but we saw a massive improvement against Clare the last day on that front.Provided Aidan Walsh isn’t flahed out with the football i fancy himself and Danny Kearney to get the better of the two Limerick lad’s.If Limerick can hold our forwards then a lot of the hard work will be done because we have serious firepower up front.Alan Cadogan, Hoggie, Conor Lehane them fellas will hurt any team if they get good supply.Billy Cooper and Pa Cronin are great workhorses.On form Pa Cronin is a serious hurler not to mention the warrior from Gortroe Seamie Harnedy!Jamie Coughlan Stephen Moylan and Paudie O’Sullivan are good forwards to bring on.We all know that this Cork team can hurl when given room.So they better be ready for Limericks physicality.If a Limerick man hit’s you then you hit him back twice as hard.If were ready for the physical stuff then the hurling will look after itself because for sheer hurling craft you can’t beat a Cork team.If this Cork team plays to it’s best they won’t be easily beaten.I think Cork will win by a couple if they keep Downes and Dowling in check.Bring on the green men!

Oh right Mark Ellis is out.

Is he out for the final??

Since 2005 Limerick have been involved in 1 fixture that exceeds the capacity of PUC.
