You have some neck talking about silly stuffy. In a tight game (not saying it will be ) playing on your home pitch could make the difference. Why assume KK V Wat. was ' always" going to be in Thurles? Why not Wexford park? Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 04/07/2017 15:56:30 2010506 Link 0 |

It's not a valid comparison Taste of "our own" medicine Ulsterman.. you already know this The Leinster council decides where Dublin play - Croke Park is in Leinster and holds the most spectators It's all about revenue for the Leinster council and Dublin is just one member of that council We cant continually vote ourselves into Croke Park - that's down to the rest. They have tried to play more Dublin games outside of CP in the last couple of season's and have lost revenue doing so. So this "No sympathy" thing... it's a fairly ignorant stance The Dublin footballers don't decide where they play and this has absolutely no relation to our Hurlers current situation. It's fairly telling the way some want to link the two completely different scenarios together Some posters absolute bitterness is quite plain to see jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 04/07/2017 16:18:48 2010531 Link 3 |

We are always told for reasons of maximising revenues and capacity Croke Park is deemed a neutral venue even when Dublin are playing. Croke Park is unavailable this weekend so now Semple Stadium is being used for reasons of maximising revenues and capacity and is deemed a neutral venue for the weekend even though Tipperary are playing. Why is Tipperary playing Tipperary a problem if Dublin playing in Dublin isn't a problem?? kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 04/07/2017 16:20:56 2010533 Link 0 |

What is the population of Dublin and what is the population of wexford?? The underage hurling in Dublin is massive and then again you see very few juveniles at the matches..are you trying to tell me the dublin hurlers have better support than the wexford footballer on %population??? Not even up for debate!

Oooh! Hit a raw nerve have I? No I presume I've never met you but I do know you by your words. To call the legitimate objections of Dublin hurling people "pathetic" is frankly, pathetic. If you have a problem with the advantages Dublin footballers are given (and clearly you do from your later posts) take it out on the footballers because that is a completely separate issue.

That's not like for like. You are being obtuse. Wembley is a neutral venue for Chelsea v Manchester City for instance even though Chelsea is in London. It's the national stadium for England as is Croke Park for Ireland. Dublins home pitch is Parnell Park not Croke Park. Thurles is Tipperarys pitch. It's not a national stadium. It's no higher or lower than Fitzgerald stadium, The Gaelic Grounds or P.u.C. That there's a push always to make it a favourite venue for matches is odd. Clare agreeing to at there instead of Limerick will come back to bite them. They 'll be outnumbered 3 to 1 at least for the final. In limerick it would have been 3 to 2 bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 04/07/2017 16:56:25 2010557 Link 2 |
Ah look, I'm not coming down to your level for the sake of this debate It's a shame you feel the need to do this on most threads keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 04/07/2017 17:02:48 2010560 Link 2 |
Pretty simple really. It's the same county board for both Dublin hurlers and footballers doing the complaining.

You didn't hit any nerve at all but I I won't have you dismissing my point of view just because I'm not from a hurling county. Dublin county board are operating a double standard here as far as I can see. But hey Ho, that's just little old me's opinion!

If we wouldn't allow Westmeath home advantage we'd hardly let Dublin take us to a neutral venue lol!! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 04/07/2017 17:30:54 2010581 Link 1 |

We are always told for reasons of maximising revenues and capacity Croke Park is deemed a neutral venue even when Dublin are playing. First I've heard of that rationale. Croke Park is considered a neutral venue as Parnell Park is Dublin's home venue. Whether its effectively a home venue for Dublin footballers is a debate that's i) been covered loads of times and ii) is completely off topic for this thread. Croke Park is unavailable this weekend so now Semple Stadium is being used for reasons of maximising revenues and capacity and is deemed a neutral venue for the weekend even though Tipperary are playing. Semple has been deemed a neutral venue? First I've heard of that. Why is Tipperary playing in Tipperary a problem if Dublin playing in Dublin isn't a problem? Because the original idea was that the venue for the game should be neutral and now its not. Just because you say Semple Stadium is a neutral venue in this instance, this doesn't mean its the case. Dublin (footballers) playing in Dublin certainly does seem to be a problem based on the number of managers, pundits and keyboard warriors who regularly comment on this. Just as an aside, I happen to think Thurles is the most logical venue for this weekend's double header. I just can't make head nor tail of your argument.

You missed my point. Croke Park is unavailable this weekend so Semple Stadium is deemed the next biggest available and suitable venue. The fact it's in Tipperary is irrelevant now because the national stadium is unavailable. If people don't like it then petition the GAA to not hold concerts in Croke Park during the championship season. Otherwise it is what it is and everyone get on with it.
