That’s a brilliant turn out for Liam and at 3pm on a week day.
They also came up with another way of raising money for the family after the game sold out. Tickets for “non-attendance” tickets. €5 + €2 p&p get you a commemorative e-ticket, a match day brochure, and the chance to win a signed jersey by both teams on the day.3 -
Since it was reopened definitely. Not sure about the old stadium.iainment said:

That makes sense. The other venues are all much smaller. Potentially football at Flower Lodge could have been higher in the 50s and 60s.NornIrishAddick said:

Couldn’t reply earlier as I kept filling up.
He really isn’t going to get the send off he deserves. Even one of his sisters isn’t going to be able to be there.❤️

It's the side effects on society that are so difficult to take.
When you lose someone as important in your life, you need the wake to help cope with bereavement and celebrate the life that was lived.
I was never much of a one for the front parlour, but the kitchen or other back rooms have been essential when coming to terms with the loss of a loved one (and on many occasions learning about them).
It's difficult to explain to those who have never experienced it, but I've always felt that a good funeral (where the tragedy is lessened by the fullness of the life lived), properly waked, is a wonderful thing to experience, and I'd be deeply hurt at missing out in similar circumstances.
Apologies if anyone thinks I'm being callous.
With all my love @KBslittlesis.7 -
@NornIrishAddick you have banged that nail very squarely on its head.
Unless you are from or have experienced the Irish way, it’s difficult to understand.
Having grown up with both ways of dealing with death, I’ve always preferred the way it’s dealt with in Ireland. And having lost a few through this COVID period, where the old Irish way has had to be changed, it’s made it even harder to come to terms with.
I am truly thankful for your love 🙏🏻❤️5 -

Before then I’d been to only a few funerals, during my first few months there I went to 3 funerals, attended several removals and a few months minds. And many more after.
To see the town stop for every funeral, with curtains closing as the cortège made it’s way was very affecting to me.It’s a better way.5 -

Meath played at Wembley the year after he'd played so well in the All Ireland and my Dad dragged me on to the hallowed pitch to meet him at the end of the game so he could organise a family gathering at the neighboring bowling alley.
I knew him then as a warm, generous giant of a man who I wished I could see more of.
Over the years I got to realise just how much of a sporting legend he was in Meath.

RIP Terry, my grandad was from Meath and no doubt would’ve know the name! Will raise a pint to your cousin tonight @KBslittlesis @KillersBeard 💚3

Sad day yesterday watching the dubs hammer cavan in third gear at most. More likely a closer game today to decide who gets to lose to them in two weeks time0
