All-Irl Final 06 :: Accommodation

[nk05]

Ive never been to croke park(what a sin 4 a kerryman),but I'm hoping to go this year & i was just wondering those anyone know any good hotels, b & b's, that would be close to Croke Park & close to d city centre(bars kerry 1s especially,etc) as I'm not 2 familiar to Dublin city.
Ye'r help would be grateful,thanks

There's a couple of Jury's inns - one down by the customs house and one in christchurch. Good enough value as you pay by the room.

I'd say pay a bit extra and stay in town as Dublin on a sat night is not an easy place to get a cab.

Cheers

i suppose you had no problem securing a ticket either,dont forget your book and knitting,it helps relieve the boredom from watching all the cynical knackers on view.

[nk05]

Im sure il av no problem with d ticket,jus never got d chance 2 go croke park,definatly want to go this year,jus sort out a place 2 lay my head 4 d weeknd

[kerrygold]

enjoy the weekend,dont take the ticket for granted if your not used to the scene,secure it first before you commit to booking accommodation.

cheers.

[nk05]

2 b honest ive gud reasons 2 get tickets kerrynorth & reasons not-college& work issues& others which i dont want 2 say

Im not ere 2 talk bout tickets, im jus asking about accomodation,let not get away from the topic please,all i want is bit of help!?!?

[JOAN]

the Jurys are your best bet. Try the herbert park in ballsbridge I have stayed there twice and its 5min walk from a Jurys

[Owenabue]

www.ireland.ie/ is a handy website for finding accomodation.

[kerryman]

I've always foung www.bugeurope.com/reviews/Ireland/Co_Dublin/Dublin/ to be a very useful site if yer looking for a hostel rather than a hotel. The reviews tend to be fairly accurate.

[kerrygold]

i've a cousin from south kerry who never books or pays for his accommodation on match weekend in dublin,he never sleeps rough and usually gets his breakfast severed in bed with a big smile.

[scout]

Jurys is booked out with weeks ! i booked my hotel before the semi final cos i knew it would'nt be easy to find somewhere ,all the main hotels in the city are booked out ,this is good website www.goireland.com/

[austinstacksabu]

There's a plethora of good B&B's in the Ballbridge area near Jurys if that's where Kerry are at this year on the Sunday night - win, lose or draw.

Thats the style of it!! It was far from Jury's we were raised!

I have booked myself an executive sofa in a friends house in Howth!

NK05, Give me one of your tickets and you can stay at my gaff. i'll even cook you a fine breakfast. I just have to ask permission from "she who must be obeyed"

[seamus]

The Kerry bash is in the Berkley Court this year to cope with the numbers.
New ground for most Kerry fans! I fancy a few will get lost in Leeson St.
How Bad!

[Walter Mitty]

I am sure that while the players will be in the Berkley, the fans will be in Jurys as usual....nearly sure about that...

as for accomodation....lucky for me that I accidentally arranged to have a course in Dublin the Monday and Tuesday after the all ireland with accomodation in the Camden paid for just a stones throw from all the action!

[austinstacksabu]

The Berkley? Their function room is smaller than Jurys!!!!! Is it sit down this year Seamus or is it the same as in Jurys, disco and big screen with the team upstairs in another private room for a small dinner?

[Alan]

Stayed in the Berkley for the hurling final - have to say the buzz there on the Sat night was unreal.The staff there were excellent even with the huge crowds there.

Went to the banquet on the Sunday night (no great atmosphere after Cork lost obviously) - was sitting at table number 56 with approx 20 people at each table. Nice money made as it was €100 per skull!

[peig]

I think I have a room in good old O'Shea's Merchant down the Quays. Mind you, after a tour of the town on the Saturday night before the semi, we headed back there for the last few drinks. There were hardly any Kerry supporters there whatever the craic was. So, where were the rest of you that night?

[nk05]

Finally got a place 2 stay,a friend's couch,t'wil do grand.all i need is a ticket

Meant to write the Burlington not the Berkley - brain fart!

[austinstacksabu]

[Jo90]

Tut tut lads. All the admin's hard work gone to waste. As always, details of the post-match function are given on the Kerry GAA Website...
