Title: Purpose of former commentary box at Croke Park
Post by: JBM on the 21 on February 06, 2014, 11:26:26 PM
Does anyone know what is the current function of the former commentary box over the Nally Stand in Croke Park? I noticed last summer that they had moved to the upper tier of the Canal End/Hogan Stand corner. They should remove it if it is serving no function and redo the terrace down there - always felt that it takes away from the stadium - it just looks like they got bored with the final piece of the redevelopment. I know that it is backing onto the train track but it could look better.

The whole hill looks a mess and the most scandalous bit is it cost 25 million  I mean WTF how could you spend that amount of money on some steps unless it was the same crew that have been hired to redevelop Pairc Ui Chaoimh for 67 million when I say redevelop they will build one stand paint the rest and burn the other 50 million for a laugh - only possible explanation. Just for some perspective the new Ravenhill will cost 14 million sterling for 3 roofed stands go figure that one out. The GAA are either being had or they are up to some shenanigans, take your pick.
