Ice skating in Dublin

Smithfield one is much bigger. Its under assembly at the moment, raised about 4 feet in the air on a platform.

Will the Smithfield one be real ice? I haven’t been down to the IFSC one, but apparently it’s some sort of artificial, plastic surface. The guy running it was on the radio this morning defending the event against angry customers who said that hardly any of the stuff advertised actually existed. So you may want to save your tenners for Smithfield.

Smithfield is real ice, you can see all the cooling gear down there now. Smithfield will be cool imo…. the christmas tree market, the lit torches, the view from the chimney looking down on the rink…

quiet everyone!
I think Paul is getting lost in a Bing Crosby “white Christmas” moment
🙂

Where exactly is the IFSC one? I’ve just been down there and can’t find it anywhere.

Excise walk – the gap between the Clarion Hotel and the branch of Milano pizzaria. Went past it myself the other day, looks naff, like some knid of dogems track

sod off LOB 😀 I’m having a real white christmas, you’ll just have to watch and rewatch that DVD of snow falling on your tv and imagine its a window 😉
