SCR has it all mate.
Explain that one. Was there a club match on the side field which would mean the big gate was open? Or was it actually a Munster game? Surely they didnât pay in at the gate 
As Limerick goes, I think itâs as good as it gets.

No excuse for bad language in public, whatever the situation.
Studies have shown that people who curse often have a wider vocabulary and are able to express themselves more fluently. This verbal fluency is positively associated with intelligence.
Swearing at games in particular is part of the occasion.

Tbf, been a fair while since weve had much reason to curse much on the regular.

Cork club ticket allocations.
Breakdown:
Premier Senior/Senior A hurling clubs - 10 stand + 50 terrace.
Premier Intermediate/Intermediate A/Premier Junior hurling clubs - 8 stand + 40 terrace.
Junior A hurling clubs - 6 stand + 30 terrace. Junior B/C hurling clubs - 2 stand + 16 terrace.
Football affiliations will only receive terrace tickets â 40 each for those playing senior, 30 for intermediate and premier junior, 16 for junior A and eight for junior B and junior C.
Example, Ballinhassig PIHC 48 + JAFC 16 = 64 tickets

Jesus, thatâs rough!
My father in law is a Wexford man and he had all the kids at a Wexford v Kilkenny Leinster Final in the mid 90s. My now sister in law was a gentle red headed 10 year old at the time. Her Dad spent the match calling John Power a red cunt (with considerable justification according to himself). She only needs occasional therapy sessions these days thank God.

Thereâs 5000 clubs in Cork shur
Iâve done a bit of searching and canât find anything to support my memory. Weâll have to ask @iron_mike.
I was driving across âKingsâ Island sometime between 1985 and 1991 to the best of my knowledge. Offaly were playing a fairly big match in the GG and there was also a big match on in TP. The traffic was so bad that a lot of the Offaly crowd abandoned their cars around Clare street and set off on foot.
I suppose as it got nearer to throw-in the traffic eased, as it does, and I started making progress again around King Johnâs Castle. I felt sorry for an Offaly family (the sweat was pouring out of then scampering up the hill outside St. Munchinâs Church. I stopped to pick them up (even back then they were a bit hesitant about getting in) and we headed on.
Because of the crowds going into TP I turned left at Hassetts Cross. I was asked to let them off as they thought the match was on in there. I explained that was a rugby ground and their fears were calmed when a guard stopped us turning into Mayorstone. I explained I was a local who lived on Avondale drive (I wasnât, thatâs where the wife was from) dropping these poor Offaly souls to the GG. He let us through and I got them down to the back of the GG, no problem. About ten minutes late.
I was working with a Laois lad at the time who retold great stories of all the BIFFO Offaly fans that paid to get into TP. Asking, where were the nets? Why was the crossbar so high? Why was there padding on the goal posts? Then looking for their money back when the rugby teams ran out.
He really hated Offaly people.
Whatâs the story there @myboyblue?

Heel of the hurl full force between the shoulder blades twice. Morrissey rubs the back ruefully after scoring the goal and gets on with it.

Didnât Offaly play Cork in a league final in Limerick? 80âs sometime
No.
Offaly have never played a league final in Limerick. They met Cork in the 1981 final but that was in Thurles.
I think I was at that
It pissed rain the same day
