<DIV =article>The family area is based in the YellowTom stand, which is a seated and covered area within the Ravenhill Grounds, and is located at the Memorial Arch side of the pitch. Tickets are priced at £14 for adults and £7 for children, for every Ulster Rugby home game this season. Ulster Rugby’s Scrummy Mummy Cynthia (better known as prop Justin Fitzpatrick)commented: “It’s great that Ulster Rugby now have a designated family area. It not only provides a sheltered and secure area, with great views of the live action, but the family friendly prices mean we can head down to Ravenhill as a family to cheer Ulster on more times this season.”Also on hand to launch the Family Friendly prices was Daddy Dawson, better known as Kieron Dawson, wee Nigella, more usually seen listed on team sheets as Nigel Brady and big bro Ian Humphreys.


Its an pity we cant have something like this, if you want your child beside you you must pay full price or get tickets in the south terrace, while I know ulster rugby may be in trouble they are doing the right thing for familiesin these hard times. </DIV>

I not sure if I want to expose my kids to something like that. When you look at this picture (http://www.irishrugby.ie/22_15167.php)you would really wonder whats going onsmileys/wink.gif

[jmccoy]

Its a great idea, I hope Billinghurst is looking at that.

Oh man, that picture gave me a real "Homer, my sisters are here!" shudder. smileys/shock.gif
Good idea though.

Is that Dumptruck, 3rd from the right ? smileys/shock.gif

[holywoodmike]

are coming to Limerick on 3rd January.


Any tips bout where to grab a bite to eat and have some pints b4 the game without us going round in circles &amp; walking miles! Arrive in Supporters bus probably by 4pm hopefully getting dropped off at Travelodge (Coonagh Roundabout) and weather permitting plan to stagger to Thomond having drink, food &amp; drink in that order.


All suggestions welcome. Have only ever passed thru Limerick so have no knowlege of the place but walkinglooks like Ennis Rd, Northern ring Rd and then Cratloe Rd or is this a dull route with no pubs? Fancy Italian or Mexican food.


Thanks


ps awesome game by u lot v the All Blacks. Is it for sale on DVD anywhere? Still cant get over the fact that it was roughly the same team u had sent 2 Ravenhill recently.

[McCloud]

Not that many pubs / eateries near the Coonagh roundabout. Davin Arms is now a Lidl next place with food and drink would be the Woodfield Hse hotel.

[donniedarko]

Was there not a pub meant to be opening where the Clarion Suites were or has it been delayed?


I thought there was a lemongrass there but maybe it's gone aswell..

[Corker]

Now that the Davin Arms is gone, between the Travelodge and TP you are really confined to the Greenhills Hotel on theEnnisRoad (within sight of the Travelodge), or further in the Ennis Road you have the Woodfield or the Clarion Suites Hotel, neither of which is directly on the stagger line, but near enough - 10 mins to the ground.

[Corker]

You would really be better to head for the city centre and stagger out towards the grounds ! Plenty of Italian and a couple of mexican eateries in city centre too

Great idea and the picture is a laugh and good on the lads for getin behind it, if it was our boys we would think its the best thing since sliced bread.

[holywoodmike]

Thanks for the info folks.


Think we'll quickly check in @ Travelodge, dump the bags and jump on the first bus (305?) into town. Any suggestions where we get off? Names and addresses of Italian and Mexican restaurants wud save us having 2 do r own research!

[Corker]

HWM, take the bus into the city centre terminus (William St.). Couple of places you can try for grub;
<UL>
<LI>La Piccola Italia in O'Connell St. Good friendly service, excellent grub. Very close to The Bank and The White House pubs on O'C St.</LI>
<LI>Milano on Steamboat Quay. No reservations unless 10 or more in the group. Close to Clohessy's Pub.</LI>
<LI>The Texas Steakout in O'Connell St. Tex-Mex and steaks</LI>
<LI>There is a new Mexican opposite the George Hotel in O'Connell St but I can't remember the name of it, sorry. Haven't been in myself but have heard its not bad.</LI>
<LI>Dolan's Bar &amp; Restaurant, Dock Rd. The spiritual home in Limerick of Munsterfans.com</LI>[/list]

[Bosco]

The Bella Italia on Thomas St is good value and tasty

[/list]

That's gone since, was more of a chipper anyhow.

Is there still a Mexican down by the Locke? It'll be a shock to the Ulstermen that us Mexicans have so few Mexican restaurants.

Best restaurant I've been to recently was the Hamptons, on Henry street, great food and not too pricey.

[Bosco]

have heard good things bout the Hamptons alrite
