I think now the European elections are over and our MEPs are elected for the area, with the politicians we have, there must be a campaign to connect the last two cities in the country that are not connected by motorway,ā Mr Fitzgerald said.
Cork is not connected to Waterford by motorway. Galway is not connected to Limerick. Waterford is not connected to Galway. Cork is not connected to Galway. Waterford is not connected to Limerick.
Why stop at a motorway. Why not build a high speed rail link so that the brave and the faithful could get sozzled in Thomond park and stagger back on the train with their foam fingers.[/QUOTE]
The Limerick-Waterford road is shocking - even worse than the Limerick-Cork one.
Limerick-Galway is now fairly decent in fairness (dual carriageway for a fair chunk of it) and work has commenced on another part which means it will be even better again when completed in a couple of years.
Calling for a motorway due to reduced attendances at rugby football fixtures is ridiculous though. Fuck the economic benefits argument, build it to suit Humphrey, Matilda and their cunt kids who want to go to one or two games a year. Yeah.
[QUOTE=āFagan ODowd, post: 959595, member: 706ā]Actually the situation 10-15 years ago was the outlier. Low attendances in provincial matches was the norm until the Celtic Tiger. The notion of having to get a ticket in advance for a Munster final that didnāt involve Cork and Tipp would have been strange. I would have walked up to the 76 and 77 Munster hurling finals and got into the Kinane stand no problem. I paid cash into the terrace for the 79 All Ireland Hurling final and the 82 and 83 football finals. When Offaly beat Kilkenny in the Leinster Final in 1980 there were 8000 people in Croke Park. Waterford played Cork in the Munster Final in Limerick in 1983 in front of 17,000 people and played Tipp in Cork in a Munster Final in 1989 in front of 19,000 people. And finally here is a graph of attendances at Leinster Hurling Finals from 1957 to 1970 - a supposed golden age, from the McNamee report of 1970.

There was over 30,000 at that 1989 Munster Final Fagan. Over 40,000 at the 76 & 77 finals. 40,000+ attendances for the Munster Hurling Final are the norm in fairness.

Waterford is not a city.
Limerick to Galway will be connected by motorway within a few years .

Waterford is as much a city as Limerick.
I donāt get this bitterness towards Munster Rugby at all. It is one of these things that became fashionable to do a few years back, when they starting getting a bit of success. As long as there are good Limerick men involved in it, they will get my support, and when a day comes there is no Limerick men involved Iāll bear them no ill will. I think this could be a classic case of Limerick begrudgery, like the 'Well when they were going well, and Na Piarsaigh now. Even Fairview Rangers got it when they were winning FAIās.
What āgoodā Limerick men are involved??
The Limerick based posters here want rugby to return to the clubs, who at least have history and identity.

Whatās so good about Paul OāConnell??
The provincial franchise system, financed by the IRFU, has destroyed the club gameā¦ I couldnāt give two fucks about rugby really and hope all players and supporters of it catch the aids, i just empathize with the clubs more.

Same as inter-county hurling harming the hurling and football clubs really so is it?
After a promising start he has exposed himself as a bandwagon event junkieā¦heāll be gone by weeks end.
come on then, what grievance have ye with Paulie?
Unashamedly so, pal, you have me right.
Iāll support Young Munsters
Iāll support Limerick FC
Iāll support any Limerick club that does well
Iāll support Munster
Iāll support Limerick, hurling and football at all grades if I can get to the games.
And Iāll pass no apologies for it either.
Whoās Paulie?
Hopefully so. What a fucking cunt.

who is this WUM?
Paul OāConnell, the King soup taker. Captained the British Lions.
Also kicked some Leinster lad in the head, knocked him unconscious, put him in hospital and his first reaction a few days later was āthank God I didnāt get cited.ā
Heās a horrible cunt. Thatās before you even mention those Pinergy ads.
