Rossies v Kerry round 2, will Croke Park be playable?

[Shrewdness]

Has the venue for this been confirmed yet.. These days, we're liable to turn up anywhere.. Less than 4 weeks, and we'll be in New York.

[Rossfan]

Limerick some are saying.
Hope they're joking

[AZOffaly]

Why Rossfan? Limerick would be handy enough no? Or Ennis maybe? But would Ennis hold the crowd?

[Rossfan]

No M4 or M6 or trains from Ros to effin Limerick.

[AZOffaly]

You're going to Effin, ye're going to Limerick city.

What about Ennis?

[Hound]

For a team with 4 home games, it was a pretty mad stat that Roscommon played their 7 league matches in 7 different venues in 6 different counties!

[Syferus]

Limerick would be f**king daft. But Kerry and their Dublin lite supporters are afraid of travelling and for some unknown reason even Croker Park bends the knee to the lads who think it's a good idea to elect two Healy-Raes to national parliament.

[Shrewdness]

And still we managed to reach the semi finals as top scorers in Division 1 with many of our players out injured..

Ye elected Ming and he didn't even stay! Maybe the Dail was waterlogged too.

Nothing wrong with Ennis, plenty big enough and would be ideal for the 2 teams involved in my book

[AZOffaly]

Ennis was grand yesterday anyway. They announced a crowd of 9,000+ but kids were free so not sure if they were counted among that number.

Why would Limerick be daft? It's roughly half way between Roscommon town and Killarney. There is no motorway from Killarney to Limerick either (apart from a short stretch from Adare). In fact, Ros fans would have more motorway to travel on to limerick than the kerry folk!

As a rossie living in Kildare, I'd MUCH rather it being in Croke park.

But being realistic, I don't see why we could argue against it being in Limerick.

It's not too long ago we were telling the mayos to stop complaining about having to play Kerry in limerick, so it'd be very hypocritical if we started complaining now about a LEAGUE semi final being in Limerick.

I STILL HOPE ITS IN CROKE PARK!!

This team deserves to play at HQ. It would be a bit of an insult to about face the established situation with league semis in its last year.

This has got nothing to do with anything! Get to the league final and we'll DESERVE to play in Croke park.

I wouldn't agree that it'd be an insult. Disappointing - yes. Insulting - no! Whilst the semis have been in croker the last few years, there is nothing to say that all league semis have to be in croke park. In fact, the last Div 1 semi final we played in was in Sligo (against Mayo).

Confirmed for Croke park now anyway. 2pm. Dub V Donegal at 4.
