Not a bad setting for a football ground
It's one of our partner grounds - St. Colman's Park, home of Cobh Ramblers. They've just agreed a 99 year lease on the ground.

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
I've been to Cobh on a day trip from Cork when we were there in 2013 for the friendly. Would be good to go back and play both.

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
It's a lovely town - certainly well worth a visit if you are in that area. As RC2 says it was Titanic's last stop (then called Queenstown) before it's fateful journey over the Atlantic - the Cobh heritage centre there is well worth a visit if you are interested in the Titanic or emigration generally.

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
I've family in Cobh so been there many times.
Been in the club bar on the Ramblers, but sadly not on a match day.
For anyone who hasn't been its well worth a day out.
A night out around the pubs is even better

As a boy I remember seeing many of the great ocean liners there including Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Normandie the lovely French liner.
My brother was at a seminary there!!

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
We had lunch right next to the Titanic tour but we opted for the Heritage Centre & then out to Spike Island.

Some of our 80's and 90's defenders would have had the ball in the bay there after a clearance! (or a downfield pass!!!)

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
I met up with Tribesmen at a Rams v Galway match, the day after our last Cork City friendly. Can’t wait to get back on. New rules coming in over here and they are allowing up to 500 attendances.
Great photo btw.

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
They are wonderful. We completed the Waterford one, as training for the Camino, and they are extending it Youghal to Midleton. Saw a piece on Tracks and Trails last week and they are intending to join up all the South Coast, from Wexford.

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
Minne , done a few of the greenways now , Mrs Tribes is getting used to her bike and can cycle around 40Kms in one go which is really good for her , sort of head off on Friday after work go camping and cycle the next day then back home on Sunday .

Re: Not a bad setting for a football ground
We are camping in Castlebar in August so we’ll have a look at the Achill one. Dates are flexible as eldest is coming over and currently would have to isolate for 5 days.Tribesmen wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 12:07 pmMinne , done a few of the greenways now , Mrs Tribes is getting used to her bike and can cycle around 40Kms in one go which is really good for her , sort of head off on Friday after work go camping and cycle the next day then back home on Sunday .

This one reminded me of Rod Stewart getting in bother over watering his back garden pitch during a drought. Knock on the door from the old bill.
