[JBM on the 21]

events@crokepark.ie - I would think that they would want you to complain - it helps them to improve their services

Some of stewards are arseholes - I remember last year at match I was in early and there might have been 3000 people in the stadium at the time - there were friends I knew and I wanted to go and speak to them - So I went over to thier section and I was stopped by one of these stewards 9 a fair age of a man - he said let me see your tickets - I said I wasn't sitting here but just wanted to go and talk to some friends - he tld me that under no circumstances could I go to another section of the ground and sit down or speak to anyone - I explained that I only wanted to speak to some friends - he insisted that I couldn't and that If I gave any more "hassle" I'd be put out of the ground !!!!! Can you believe that ?

Jobsworth or what ? There must be a few of them about then -
by the way,do all these boys get paid for stewarding these matches ?

there was another little observation I made on Sunday which for me anyway was very emotional.  Before the Cats v Wexford game down at Hill 16 James McGarry was playing a game of hurling between himself and his son.  Then James went away and the young lad was pucking the ball well out to the centre of the field to Henry who was rifling it back at him.  Makes all our worries little ones and I hope things like this and the support they are getting from the GAA will help them both to get over their recent tragedy. I got the ould lump in the throat watching them anyway.

If that be the case they break their own rules because two lads who looked all important were sitting in the front row of the Premium in front of me and the Chef, dressed in what chef's dress in, came out and stood there, aye, standing, talking to them and as we used to say, blocking our light, or, they were in my light for a few minutes while they exchanged "is everthing ok" type sayings.

...The Garda he brought back to evict me from my seat was my brother!!
Clasic moment and the steward went off with his tail between his legs

Nice one RLL

Let us know how you get on. As they would say in the States, the man needs to retake the orientation!! (Even though its probably too late for that)
Seriously, I think it is very important for any of ye to complain - a similar thing happened to me a few years ago at Croker - soured the whole experience for me and I didn't do anything about it. afterwards. Regretted it.
He tries that on in front of a few important clients of the GAA and it will hurt them.

Is this thread for us poor Derry lads who are so bad we dont know how to get to Croker?

Hardy, I think I know which buck you are on about. He looked like an east end gangster to such an extent that my pal elbowed me in the ribs to cop a look at the state of him. He also told us to slow down when we were walking a bit too briskly back to our seats for his liking. If I wasn't totally preoccupied with the game there may have been harsh words.

In all seriousness, there's nothing worse than brisk walkers, especially with pint glasses of water lying all over the joint in the premium.

Maybe they should have someone in the Pubs around Croke Park to get ye out of them and to make sure your shower turn up for a match early for once

That much education she had to study in Kilkenny if she got that much class what she doing with you

She studied in UCD but her work experience was in Kilkenny coz there aren't too many farms up in the auld concrete jungle that is Dublin..
