Quote from: toby47 on March 27, 2024, 09:09:42 AMHow many do we expect to be in Croke Part on Sunday?

According to Crokepark.ie they are expecting 40k and 10k for Saturday.

Optimistic on both counts from Crokepark.ie in my opinion.
They are never far wrong with their expected crowds.

Emmm.. Chances are the upper decks will remain closed
And won't be opened. Will many of the Donegal/Armagh supporters stay on for the 2nd game? Won't be many Dubs in for the first game.



I was talking to a few lads last night and they said going home after the Division two final really don't see the point of doing that, but each of their own.

Quote from: seafoid on Today at 02:24:12 PMPearse Doherty was on Claire Byrne now and he spoke a lot of sense. The Government sould take account of what is happening now and decide on fuel tax increases based on that. The idea that SF are out of touch is pure gaslighting.

The other thing is that FG do not own the flag and neither do they own Irishness.

Fuel in the south going up on Monday - not an April Fool either!

Petrol up by 4c and diesel going up by 3c a litre.

Some petrol stations on the southern side may close up.

Quote from: lurganblue on March 12, 2024, 01:48:36 PMThere are no shortages of jobs going at the minute.  At least it curtails the "them foreigners coming over here and taking all our jobs" rhetoric/excuse.

where are all these jobs at?

Ireland is predicted to have a surplus of €67 million by 2027. The money it costs to keep asylum seekers is a drop in the ocean.
They are not to blame for the lack of housing.

Quote from: whitey on Today at 01:46:52 PMImmigration is the number one issue because it costs hundreds of millions of Euro to house, feed, clothe and transport these people (some of whom are complete fraudsters)

We have a price to pay for being part of the EU. Taking our fair share of emigrants is part of it. We have a choice, leave the EU. Lets see how that goes for the Brits who you do seem to have more in common with than anyone else.
The vast majority of immigrants are working, paying for their accomodation, buying their own food and clothes, paying VAT, PAYE, PRSI, USC etc

Quote from: Armagh18 on Today at 10:45:28 AMGlobal warming my hole, cold wet and miserable March.

The spuds will be poor this year again.

We've just stumped out quite a load of £££ to redrain our pitch and the lad doing it struggled to get on it due to the rain, he's most of the main drains in, just needs to come back and finish the sand slitting over the top dressing once it's knitted a bit better.

Never been so persistently wet this winter that I can remember...









Farmers have to "watch, hope and pray" for a "sweet spot" of dry weather in the coming weeks or many will have to debate whether to plant at all this year.

As continuous rainfall adds to already saturated ground, many big and small potato farmers are warning that the Irish favourite variety of Rooster may be in scarce supply by June.


"We are still waiting to get planting. We should have some potatoes already planted for supply to Tayto," said Meath farmer Ivan Curran from his holding in Stamullen.

Mr Curran yields 11,000 tonnes of potatoes in a good year but last year was the worst year for rain he has seen in his 40 years in agriculture.
Great, now the crisps will be going up in price.

Soon won't have change from a tenner for a pint snd bag of crisps ffs

Quote from: Snapchap on Today at 12:48:18 PMIf you're the sort of person for whom immigration is more imporant than healthcare, taxation, education, housing, the cost of living, then you're too f**king stupid to see how you're being manipulated.

Immigration affects health, education and housing.

If you cant afford to full your oil tank, or if you cant access a GP, and your first thought is to blame immigrants, then, again, you're either stupid, or racist and stupid.
Calling being stupid isn't gonna win too many votes. There are an awful lot of stupid people around though lol

Quote from: Eire90 on March 26, 2024, 04:32:56 AMa very late throw in time for final

Also looking at Ticketmaster it seems they are only opening the Lower Hogan. I was at the Tailteann Cup final last year where they did the same and the level of overcrowding was extremely uncomfortable, almost worse than an AI final. Ridiculous that in a stadium that size they can't open up at least the Davin as well to give people a bit of room to sit in.

Could ye not just move anyway?
