Did he need to bring soccer into it? Did he pick a good example considering that game sells out weeks in advance? Or is everyone over thinking it, if you cant bring the kids to the Dubs, you might bring them elsewhere with all the risks that brings.

Dublin GAA player/supporter/manager/administrator is disconnect shock!!!! ???
I've no problem with Dublin playing home games in Parnell Park.
Although, as I said prior to the "Newbridge or Nowhere" game, having a 50/50 ticket allocation is utterly ridiculous for games that are expected to sell out (unless they are designated neutral games of course).
Otherwise home should get 80%, away 20%. If home can't sell the 80%, then balance is offered to away team. Any left after that goes on general release.
Brogan's tweet was funny in that it shows how sensitive the LOI mob are!
When you've had it so good for so long and don't even realise it....

It certainly has. I've no particular ill-feeling towards the LOI (have gone to watch the Rovers the odd time) but there is a sizeable element of their support who utterly despise the GAA and love to remind you of that at every opportunity, and there's plenty of them to be found in the Showgrounds every other Saturday. Brogan might have been tone deaf as regards the concerns of the rest of us but he certainly snared that mob with that tweet.
Hard to know between them and some of the hardline athletics types who is more embittered towards the GAA though.

As I see it it's a shite motion. Am I correct in saying that they only want Dublin to not be allowed nominate Croke park as their home venue? Let's call it what it is, Croke park is Dublins home venue and they should play their home game there. What should be happening is scrapping the "Croke park round" and changing it to "neutral venue". If Galway were drawn to play Kerry they shouldn't be dragged up to Croke park, a game like that should be in limerick. Kerry Dublin as a neutral round should be in thurles not Dublin. Croke park may well suit best for alot of the games but venues should be true neutral ones that is fairest on supporters travelling to games

A small minority in my experience. Jerry Kiernan is not a representative sample. Maybe it's a Kerry thing - JJ Hanrahan has thrown out anti-GAA comments in the past too.

Kiernan is obviously one, but I also had a colleague of Kiernan's closer to home in mind in that regard, has a column in one of the local papers which is purportedly about athletics but regularly throws in cheap shots at the GAA whenever he can.

Sad really. Athletics is badly underfunded in this country. And the majority of our top athletics have to live off a shoestring budget if they want to go full-time. But it isn't the GAAs fault.

The motion is calling the GAA's bluff. It is ingeniously worded. Dublin had their butter on both sides last year. And the GAA hid behind Croke Park being a neutral venue malarkey!

I am not patronising anybody. I have been involved in athletics since I was a kid. The view that it is the GAAs fault that the sport(s) are not funded adequately is small minded. If the GAA disappeared tomorrow the Government would not magically start funding athletics.

A handy way for the Government to spin their underinvestment in athletics. Athletics Ireland should be looking for a portion of the Dept of Health budget. Properly invested it would save money in the long term.

Lucky for them the national GAA stadium is in the county
They've had to fund very little capital investment in Dublin

Sport Ireland total funding to the GPA for 3 years, 2017 - 2019 is <Eur7m. This average annual funding of Eur 2.3m did not come out of the Olympic fund.

Soccer isn't a threat to the GAA at adult level in terms of attendances

I agree with the Donegal motion actually. The Croke Park round of quarterfinals should exist for the provincial winners to play in. I think counties have earned their fair shot of playing in CP then.

I think the motion is to have Dublin only play one game in Dublin instead of two in the group stage. I also think counties that reach the last eight want to be "rewarded" with at least one game in Croke Park.
Should be a motion in place to move the All Ireland semi final back by one week. Playing them the week after the quarter final group stage is not right.
Dublin should have their own 20000-30000 capacity ground to cater for their games. I think most Dublin gaels would prefer this. I hope the Donegal motion succeeds.

I really doubt it. Where are we looking at? Rathcoole? Crokers location is half the crowd.
And there is no money for stadia until Franks bag o shyte is cleaned up.
The football Counties would be expected to vote for Donegal's motion.
The Top table plus Dublin will be against it.
That leaves Hurling Counties and Overseas delegates.
I presume it will need 60% as it's amending a rule?

The Spawell, you already own the site. Dublin I think needs at least a 30k stadium, maybe 40k, it would be sold out for the home league and early leinster games as it would be an event to be at due to the atmosphere instead of a smaller crowd feeling lost in Croker.

But lets suppose it did. If 14 000 went to a city center location surrounded by bars, how many do you reckon will take the 90m trip on a bus to suburbia? You are on la la land if you think 26,000 more
I actually hope this motion gets passed and Dublin play one of the counties who vote for it such as Donegal/Tyrone/kerry etc get drawn to play Dublin and the game gets moved to Parnell Park and they get 2-300 tickets and get smashed at the same time and when they come looking for funding next season they get told - sorry the attendance/income dropped last year so there is no money available for you.

You see that there is the BULLY BOY tactics that money has brought to the GAA. A Dublin supporter who has got so used to having to do little or nothing in the way of travelling to go see Dublin come Championship. All home games and on tap! And when there is a threat to this, they just throw their toys out of the pram. Nice!

If this motion is passed. Dublin will have one home game,one away game and one game played in a neutral venue in the super 8s and the latter will not be played in Croke park or Dublin.

Yes, it just a way of having a more level playing field for the Super 8's, with Dublin have one game at home (Like all the rest)! Donegal had to word the motion carefully as the GAA throw back to us year after year that Croke Park is a neutral venue when it comes to Dublin.

The Spawell, you already own the site. Dublin I think needs at least a 30k stadium, maybe 40k, it would be sold out for the home league and early leinster games as it would be an event to be at due to the atmosphere instead of a smaller crowd feeling lost in Croker.
DCB say not for a stadium and planning would never happen.
But lets suppose it did. If 14 000 went to a city center location surrounded by bars, how many do you reckon will take the 90m trip on a bus to suburbia? You are on la la land if you think 26,000 more
90m? Minutes?
I could be in Banbridge in 90 minutes if leaving from the Drumcondra road....
exaggerate much?
Plus it's difficult for the Dubs but every other county can do it no bother.
Even on a Saturday its 45 mins on a bus to Templeogue.

Dublin should have their own 20000-30000 capacity ground to cater for their games. I think most Dublin gaels would prefer this. I hope the Donegal motion succeeds.
I really doubt it. Where are we looking at? Rathcoole? Crokers location is half the crowd.
And there is no money for stadia until Franks bag o shyte is cleaned up.

Maybe some of the others might be coming from outside Dublin? Of course they never occurred to you.
If you are seriously suggesting Dublin would get bigger crowds in the Spawell than Croker you need testing.
There are arguments for a Dublin venue, but that is not one of them.

No, that's not what I was suggesting. I must have picked you up wrong. They'll get more people into a ground in the Spawell than Parnell Park. And there's no shortage of money in Dublin to build it.

How many games do Dublin get, in both codes, crowds between 15k and 30k?
Is it worth a 50m stadium build?
That said, there are plenty of neighbouring counties who could make use of the hall.

I actually hope this motion gets passed and Dublin play one of the counties who vote for it such as Donegal/Tyrone/kerry etc get drawn to play Dublin and the game gets moved to Parnell Park and they get 2-300 tickets and get smashed at the same time and when they come looking for funding next season they get told - sorry the attendance/income dropped last year so there is no money available for you.
Why should Kerry, who have provided themselves with a stadium well suited to the super 8s lose money because Dublin have not done so? Dublin could move to Navan or Kilkenny and accommodate a bigger crowd.
