    The home of Leinster Rugby. Well, except when they play in the RDS or Lansdowne. The fact that…read moreLeinster occasionally use different stadiums is part of the reason Donnybrook is so surprisingly small. The other, and main, reason is that they don't actually own much land on the far side and therefore can't build a second stand. Damned Tennis Court! Still, one stand and two terraces ain't half bad given the relative obscurity from which club rugby has emerged in the last ten years or so.

    Donnybrook Stadium has recently been dragged into the high-octane modern world of professional club…read morerugby with a brand spanking new stand. The exterior of this futuristic concrete structure is draped with ginormous action portraits of Leinster idols like Leo Cullen or Brian 'BOD' O'Driscoll. Irish rugby has been so ludicrously successful in recent times that burgeoning crowds were causing the old venue to almost burst at the seams when a popular fixture came to town. As they cannot get hold of the adjacent properties, Stand #2 is nowhere on the horizon, and seeing as the really, really big dates like Leinster vs. Munster are held in Croke Park, and shortly, at the new Lansdowne Road, there may actually be no need for one The much harangued and ridiculed Senior and Junior School's Rugby Cup matches are held in Donnybrook each year too. These events are like clinical research into the herd-mentality and see hundreds of uniformed young males descend into an uproarious fervour of animalistic school pride. Definitely worth a look-see, as I don't think you'll find school spirit as powerful as this anywhere else this side of the Atlantic.

    The new stadium looks amazing as though a space ship has landed in the middle of Dublin. I am…read morelooking forward to seeing what they have done inside. However why they did not build the stadium with a roof that can close in bad weather I have no idea. The stadium works very well in Cardiff with a roof that can close in bad weather - I understand within minutes? It will be interesting to see how they manage footfall when they open. Good for the Dart and local places to eat and drink.

    Landsdowne Stadium is under construction at the moment. The Irish Soccer Team and The Irish Rugby…read moreTeam have always played there at some stage before I was even born. Many games were won and lost there. The atmosphere at any of these matches was fantastic, the Irish fans that graced those stands are second to none, ok I'm Irish , I know I'm biased!!. The new stadium at the moment is looking Great, .. I have been keeping my eyes on it,,I believe that they are way ahead of schedule, ,, I can't wait till Landsdowne Stadium opens its turnsiles up to the public again. With the way the young Irish Football Team are playing at the moment, I believe they be the first (and not the last)to bring back some Tropheys. GO IRELAND, Go all the way!!!

    If you already know where Irishtown stadium is then congratulations, you have passed the first test…read moreand shall be duly inducted into the brotherhood - it is a relatively painless exercise involving little more than 3 elastic bands and a paperclip. If you are one of the many who don't know where it is, can see it on a map but can't find out how to get there then fear not, the instruction is easy; with Sandymount at your back, go past the Irishtown police station and take the first turn to your right after the dodgy looking off-licence - careful, it is a sharp/hairpin turn. At the fork in the road take the left spur - the one that squeezes past the permanently parked cars that make it almost impossible. After that you take the 1st left, straight into the stadium car park. See? That was easy! The stadium itself is a well equipped and well run affair with a decent gym and outdoor pitches and running track. I am told that because it is a DCC / local authority run venture membership of the gym is only about €250 per year, which is incredibly good. We were there as hosts of a 5 year olds birthday party - you can rent out one of the gym/studio areas for such events where you would prefer that 30 five year olds not trash your home (in my case I don't think you'd notice a difference, but in case it could get any worse we opted for the hall). The cost for two hours was 52Euro, that included access to a fairly grotty but functioning kitchen... certainly enough for the task at hand. What little hair I have left has now turned an attractive/manly shade of gray - I feel it important to note that this has nothing to do with the facilities in Irishtown Stadium and wholly related to herding a bunch of 5 year olds for 2 hours, it was my own personal Nam (you weren't there man, you don't understand).... Quentins shaking hand reaches for another cigarette from the corner of the darkened, padded room.
