Cul Green

[Bud Wiser]

Anyone visiting the website or look at the amount of advertising for Cul Green where they urge us all to travel to Croke Park by bus or train and leave the car at home?

Last Sunday I decided to do that, normally I park in the Bishops Haggard there off the lower fields at Clonliffe.

Anyway, I decided to get a taxi from Ballyboden to Terenure (that'll be 9 Euro Please) that cost me 10€.
The idea here was to hop on the 16, 16a bus and get off at the Big Tree and walk down.

From ten minutes to twelve, and there is no exaggeration here, myself and another growing crowd stood in Terenure until twent minutes to one.  I was like a fcuuking demon and eventually I got a taxi at a quarter to one because I would miss the minor match.

Before Croke Park start advising people to get busses they need to liase with Dublin Bus.  All-Ireland Hurling Final Day is as important as St Patricks day or any other big event.  Bus Eireann are a disgrace. It cost me €36 to get to Croke Park and €70 for a ticket.   Cul Green me hole.

Next Sunday people who can not get busses will drive and if they come within a mile of Drumcondra the clampers are driving out to meet them to clamp their cars.

About time Croke Park and Bus Eireann started working together or else give the money they are wasting with Cul Green staff, websites and advertising to a worthwhile charity.

(Just as well I walked anyway ' cause I went into Tom Mayes and got pissed with a fella that owns a pub in Keady)

God Bud you really are one angry man

Angry is a bit strong, pissed off with Dublin Bus, sure, but the scene in Terenure last Sunday was a disgrace.

Green my hole is right !

You'd need to see a doctor about that, sound like an infection.

Dublin Bus know perfectly well about the All-Ireland, buses fill up and pass people along the way for all of the big games, but as usual they don't do anything about it.

Something similar happened to me Bud for the Dublin game this year. Was trying to get the 16/16A from Terenure but not only was every one of them full to the rafters with Jackeens when they whizzed by without stopping but so was every other bus passing the bus stop. You'd think Dublin Bus would have the f**king cop on to put on extra buses on big match days in Croke Park.  Like yourself I resorted to a taxi in the end, only wish I had the option of a fellow Westmeather who legged it back to the house and got the wife to drop him over  he took some of the women as well, a gentleman if ever there was one. You'd have been better off getting the bus in from Ballyboden and walking up...
