Spin 103.8 probably! Purely for the zoo crew every night. FM 104 isn't bad either.

Actually Duffy Pairc Ui Rinn was the ground where Cork City in their previous guises used to play, maybe that's what he meant?

Corkcelt is probably the man for this, But i reckon he was referring to flower lodge,(Cork Hibs) now pairc Ui Rinn, Cork City play at turners cross and while there is no direct link i would imagine they are more descendant of Cork Celtic. Did cork hibs go the Cork albert/albert Rovers route?

Usually only listen to it in the car -

so I get the last 5 mins of Ivan yeats(newstalk) in the morning and the last 5 mins of Matt Cooper(today FM) in the evening.
If driving late in the evening I listen to Off the ball (newstalk).
Saturday mornings listen to the "very last word"
Sunday mornings - Sunday business show and then the sunday supplement with Sam Smyth

has to be i105 - 107. its available in the north east, midlands and south east (i think)

Really good try it and youl see. They seem to always do the pollitically incorrect thing, have contraversial yet really funny presenters. Mixed in with quality music.
Only founder ovefr a year ago, but has big things ahead.

Try it and you'l thank me

Don't forget lad's.It was illegal to play soccer in Gaelic ground's back in them day's so that would rule out Pairc Ui Rinn

You could be right about the Mardyke Duffy.

But Pairc Ui Rinn only became a GAA ground in the late eighties when the Cork CB bought it. Before that it was called Flower Lodge and played on by Cork Hibs then Cork City.

right, flower lodge was owned by the AOH and leased to cork hibs soccer club. When all that went wrong the place was sold to the GAA and renamed pairc ui rinn.

It wasn't illegal to play soccer in a GAA ground, it was only against GAA rules

Did City Play in the lodge,, I doubt if giles played in the Mardyke, unless before he went to united, but that would have been schoolboy
