Patrons attend games there, mate. It is clearly accessible.
Specious reasoning.
Factually correct. Toddle along now.
It must be everyone except you that’s wrong so.
A proper Kev display.
Game over, pal. Kev don’t live here anymore I’m afraid.
Couldnt be based on his description
Ia it easier to walk in a proper city
PUC is a disaster for anyone that lives outside the South Side of the City - anyone who claims it’s accessible has clearly never been.
The dogs on the streets knew down here that the building process was a disaster and the place was open way too early.
In saying all that, it’s a great place for a match - but I’m not sure another GAA stadium was needed in Munster.
@Bandage - there’s a few threads being hi-jacked with the same stale shite. Have a word.
@carryharry doing a Theresa May on it here. Having the shit beaten out of him time and again and still coming back for more.

There seems to be little information as to WHY the costs spiralled.
Contracts were signed, prices agreed etc. Every development of this nature will include penalty clauses for late delivery, snagging and so on.
Did the price of materials, “consultants”, toilets, lighting, grass and concrete really go up by that much?
Add on’s I’d suspect.
No need to go all wonky over this.
The real problem with these developments is that there are a load of amateurs in charge. The first time any of these lads would have been involved in a process like this. ‘Shure we want a stand and seats in it’ is as much as they would have know at the start.
The management of developments like this should be taken out of the county boards and managed centrally.

Lads going on about accessibility as if what the GAA needs is some soulless 20k capacity barn beside some roundabout on the edge of the city with a gigantic carpark and Supermacs beside it. Fuck that.
The walk out to/back from PUC is part of the championship experience.

exactly, its a tradition, one of the great stadia of Ireland, lads from non traditional counties like Limerick and Waterford could never understand it

You’d miss the small boats bringing punters accross the river Lee . They don’t allow it anymore . Health and Safery gone mad .
With the hazards flashing.
there was great battles down there with Tipperary in the 1990’s, great times, a great hurling city, this Limerick crowd who think hurling was invented in 2018 will never get it

True, but the long walk from town admiring the snotgreen polluted river Lee was always one of the little traditions of going to Cork for a match. That and getting the shit beaten out of us.

You’d have sobered up by the time you got there.
