    Posted: 26 May 2015 at 5:47pm
I need to be at the Hueston St direction directly after the Scotland. I need to be there before half 7 to catch a lift to the wesht of Ireland. I have to attend a bleedin birthday that I can't get out of. Does anyone know what the quickest route back there to avoid traffic would be? I know the area well being from Dublin but I'm hoping a YBIG brother knows where traffic usually isn't bad after a game. 

Muchos gracias brothers.

Lovely stuff duffyp. Your input is greatly appreciated. You're a gent and a scholar. YBIG would be a lesser place without your posting.

You can get out of it. You can man up for a start and say you have prior arrangements.

Seriously, be selfish for a change, go the match and enjoy it.

Even if you do leave at 7:30 and arrive down their at whatever time, there is no doubt they would have forget about you in the meantime, they'd be half cut themselves.

Unless it's your wife or girl friend.

What's selfish about going to an Ireland match . I think it's selfish to have a birthday on the day of a big match and expect you to break your ass getting there .
I had an an invite to a wedding down the country the day italy played us here in the 2-2 draw in Croke park .
I enjoyed the match and even the groom said he was disgusted he had it on that day as he's an ireland fan .
It is what it is

Leave early and have a taxi prebooked. The very earliest the match will be over is 6.50pm but realistically, it will be 7ish. Heuston is a good 15-20mins taxi, and that's not including the time it takes to get from the front of Heuston to the train, which is a bit of a walk. All the above hasn't factored in the the hold up there'll be getting out of the stadium and then driving out of the vicinity. You've not a hope of making it if you stay til full time.

Yeah you'll have to leave before full time and bolt to catch a taxi before the crowd gets out. Well do-able if leave at 88 mins or thereabouts but in my book only an ultimate twat leaves a match with time remaining.

However there is an 20.10 train to Galway if that's any good to you?
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...

Why don't you contact one of the supporters club to see if you can get a lift on one of their coaches? Depends on what part of the West your heading for?

Game scheduled to end at 6.50.....
Exit stadium (depends on seat) - 5-10 mns (6:58)
Walk to Ballsbridge Hotel taxi rank (with empty pavements)  - 8mns (7: 06)
Taxi to Heuston (with zero traffic) - 20mns (7:26)
Taxi dropoff to train - 5mns (7:31)

Add in traffic, extra if your seat is far from the exit etc, you'd want to be leaving by 78th minute I reckon. That would give you about 14mns to spare, still very tight.

Would you not get one of those bikes on the bike scheme and cycle up along the quays. Theres a bike station at Heuston you can leave the bike at. It would only take 20 minutes from Lansdowne road
