Whatever the reason, be thankful it's now being looked at. That said, would have been nice if it was looked at after the muliple requests from GAA players, rather than the single request from FAI and IRFU.
Wales soccer manager John Toshack was given a tour of Croke Park yesterday and was blown away with how good it is. He said, "Now the modern Croke Park appears to be able to retain that magic within the surroundings of one of the best arenas in Europe, if not the world."
He also added “The view for the supporters is superb and I’m sure our fans will take up their full allocation of 7,500 tickets. But as a manager it is the pitch and dressing room areas that concerned me most. On both counts, I was delighted with what I saw.”
