ArrGee suggested meeting in Clancy's, which sounds good. What time though?

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

There maybe one or to people from BG Facebook page. I add it to the events rather than main page so we don't get hundreds of people turning up

. I think the doors open at 7 pm. What about 5 or 5.30 pm?

ArrGee · Back To Boomtown

Meet at Clancy's before and after the gig. I won't get to Cork until 5pm, and if I'm running late will probably go straight to venue. Will get a ticket on the night, as I doubt it will be delivered. Feel free to let everyone on Facebook/Twitter know.

Stick it on the main page! Let's get people in there. Meet from 4pm onwards.

It will probably be 5 - 5.30 for me. Did you friend me and have I responded, Ronthecabbie? Just accepted a couple of Rats, but also had a couple of mystery requests, which I ignored. Do send again, if I mistook you for a 'mystery'

They'll all be wearing Boomtown Rats shirts and maybe carrying inflatable bananas. I'll probably be fully cut when I get there if Dublin is anything to go by.

And looks like it will be dry if overcast in Cork next week. I won't worry about a jacket.

Hi everyone

I'm staying with relatives down the road in a place called Carrigaline..will head to Clancys & see you all there...ben trawling the Internet & papers re reviews on the

Rats' IOW gig & looked at the gig on you tube...tell you what, the Rats still have it, without a doubt!

looking forward to Cork..see you all at Clancy's

4 sleeps to go till The Rats Strut there stuff,weather's gonna be great for Drinking,I can taste the Beer already...

I've wrangled up a guy in Cork who says he might be along to Clancys. He has all the Rats albums and seems to know his stuff. He saw the Rats at the Neptune Stadium in Cork back in 1985, and says the Rats were the first band he was really into.

Nope, gonna get my ticket when I get there. I'm on the 3.30pm out of Stansted and the 8am back on Saturday morning. 6am is too early for me

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

I have my tickets, but I did buy them within a few hours of being on sale.

You're a cheap date! Nice of him to offer.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Ha ha and Howard only ordered a half pint. He told us to put them on his bill, so he didn't hear what we were ordering. Probably was rather surprised to receive his bill and only be charged for half a pint

I'm the opposite, I buy them a few hours before they stop selling them. Made an exception for the October dates, but I'm wholly unreliable smile (

Should Ryanair announce a lengthy delay on Friday afternoon, I'll just head home. I reckon I can arrive at Cork airport at 7.30pm and be OK, so I have two and a half hours to play with. I only had about an hour spare for Dublin in December.

How far is Clancy's from the Marquee - someone on the forum says 30 mins walk. I thought it was about 5 mins???

suss · In the Long Grass

Over a mile, so 30 mins prob about right.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Is there not anywhere nearer, that's too far???

suss · In the Long Grass

Almost certainly, but you're going to have to get out of town to get there whichever way it goes? Maybe a cab from Clancy's? Might even be more options to share costs too? Maybe Ron has some contacts?? biggrin

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Yes, was thinking, taxi shares, if there's lots of us. Unless there's a bus that can drop us somewhere near ish, maybe?

Tent is in industrial estate, doesn't look like there is much nearby according to street view. The pubs in the vicinity are locals, so you not may find them as welcoming as city centre bars. Taxi or number 2 bus go there, but apparently traffic can be bad, so walking may be best. It's only 30 minutes away.
