Replying To Thejampot:  "Was in croke park last Saturday for the longford game. Was shocked at the state of the place. Disappointed to see it getting so run down"
It could do with sprucing up alright.

They are taking their time replacing the old seats in the upper decks also.

Replying To Square_B:  "Oh you definitely do."
Thats what they said about the GAA, Conradh na Gaeilge, Griffith, Connolly and IRB in 1914.

A tiny minority who refused to "cop on" bought us some breathing space. Last chance saloon!

Replying To Saynothing:  "Wrong on all accounts. The GAA had near 30% more Gaelic fans through the gates in 2025. Over 650,000 fans compared to just over 500,000 in 2024. And that is not counting replays which they done away with to shorten the championships. GAA can stand on its own two feet without foreign sports. Sure concerts can create revenue but not in the Summer months when it should be GAA season."
Tell me you have no clue what you're talking about without telling me you have a clue what you're talking about.

Replying To Claretandblue:  "To hold one match a year"
How would it only hold one match a year the like of Kilkenny hosts lots of games. Its not a bad idea. In fact, it is more sensible than rebuilding Pairc Ui Chaoimh to the white elephant it is.
