The Great Croke Park debate rages on...

[culchy1]

that debate was about a year ago!

its over and done with.
croke park will see foreign sports as some would call them at 3pm on sunday, end of story!

[Mayo4Sam]

Fairly biased options on the poll there

[laughinpaddy]

Don't think people are polling honestly.  when I polled 50% said they voted no if that was the case Croke Park would not be opening its doors to Rugby and soccer.

[realredhandfan]

we'll change the vote then put the other options up.  if we keep it to a vote then it will not overcome the borad.  FAAI topic this and IRFUR that....

[thegael]

The only thing that helps me get over this is that it is temporary.

Opening up of croke park to competing sports is a temporary little arrangement!

[RedKnight]

Surely the option "so our national rugby and soccer teams would not have to play home games in foreign countries" should be included in your pool!!!

[realredhandfan]

Thats a good option but thats recognising the partitioned stance of floppy and co on Irish soccor so no the soccor gatherup in Merrion square are not my national soccor team.  Rugby yes.

[Aghdavoyle]

its not our national soccer team

[forkinknife]

Listen. SOme of the fcuming =====

[forkinknife]

Sorry there the computer went a bit mad.

What im trying to say is LISTEN! This is Dublin's ground first and foremost. You f**king redneck culties should be asking us for permission to play on it. I have no problem leting O'Driscoll on it. I have no problem letting Damien Duff on it. I do have a problem leting that big-eared ginger from Kerry on it. ASK US! Not ask the GAA. ASK DUBLIN|!

GAA = Croke Park
Dublin = Parnell Park

[RedKnight]

Forkinknife, as has been discussed before, Croke Park is the headquarters of the GAA, it is not "Dublin's ground first and foremost" Dublins ground is Parnell Park. How many league games have Dublin Played in croke park since 2001? Kerry, Tyrone, Armagh have all had as many games on the hollow turf of croke as dublin in championship during this period.

As for letting O'Driscoll, Duff etc etc onto Croke i have no problem with this becuse it was voted for by the members of the GAA (not just Dublin). This may not be the case come the next vote, but for the meantime as a member of the GAA i support the decision taken by congress.

Not only have they had more games, but they've played better than Dublin too.

Exactly.
