It also has astro grass on the steps. This adds an extra sizzle to the sausages in the pan

Are rooms (that aren’t bars) with 50 inch tv’s common in Dublin GAA?

Julio_Geordio · July 4, 2018, 1:56pm

You’d think with all the money they have they’d be on to DVD’s at least.

Wow, flat screen! That’s opulence for you!

Let me guess, I bet it’s widescreen as well! Plasma widescreen, no less!

I hear that outside Dublin, most GAA clubs are only able to rent a small Pye or Grundig from the local RTV rentals shop.

A scandal.

Ah fuck it, is it not even a smart tv?

Copper_pipe · July 4, 2018, 2:01pm

Not even a LG

Wait - Dublin’s home games are down for Croke Park? As in Croke Park is listed as their home venue for the Super 8s?

Gas cunt

‘we essentially rent it out because we want to facilitate all the young boys and girls that want to go and see their heroes and their role models play in Croke Park. That’s massively important to let as many people - we’re very fortunate that we’ve a big fan-base’

Where do you start. Hiding behind children now. And their hurlers have the worst travelling support in the country.

Dublin rent out Croke Park?

But all the Dubs here maintain it’s an away venue for them.

Very strange.

croppy_boy · July 4, 2018, 2:29pm

‘Won’t somebody think about the children!’

It’s great that they facilitate the children enough to allow them stand beside the brigade doing coke on the Hill.

Sidney · July 4, 2018, 2:38pm

Ciaran Kilkenny is 100% correct there.

maroonandwhite · July 4, 2018, 2:42pm

Connolly is a role model

Appendage · July 4, 2018, 5:09pm

This Croke Park thing is gas.

It’s clearly a home venue for Dublin. Arguing that it’s not is akin to saying Freshford is a neutral venue for Kilkenny’s Walsh Cup matches.

On the other hand, if the Dubs bring in 60k to Croke Park and that game is moved to say Clones with a 30k capacity then the GAA loses out on c1m euro which has an impact when clubs and counties are looking for grants.

It’s a bit like cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.

was there any bit of a rumpus back when Tipp had home advantage for an all Ireland hurling quarter final v de Dubs back around 2014?

count_of_monte_crist · July 5, 2018, 8:09am

how much does it cost to open croke park?

i seem to remember this being the reason that the ladies couldn’t play all irelands there for quite some time…

croppy_boy · July 5, 2018, 8:13am

Funnily enough, for some reason, the Dubs didn’t seem to think it was a good idea to point out how convenient it is to have a home advantage at that stage of a competition.

Gman · July 5, 2018, 8:27am

yes.

and even more so last year when they had to play them there too

iron_mike · July 5, 2018, 8:38am

Was Thurles not the “designated stadium” for quarter finals for a few years there until Cork got the the gig last year?
