Nope. Croke Park suits Dublin's needs, the needs of both sets of fans and the commercial benefits to the GAA. I realise you're very much talking with tongue in cheek here, though.

I want the dubs out of crokepark... I want them getting the same money as the rest of us...

The "rest of us"? Are you seriously comparing Kerry's finances to Leitrim's, Wicklow's etc.? Dublin may be getting a larger slice of the pie but Kerry are hardly dining on scraps that fall from the table.

With regard to the Leinster championship Dublin have had a number of chances to vote to move out of Croker over the last few years so clearly the Dublin County Board are happy with the current arrangement...

Dublin have one vote on the Leinster council. The last vote on the subject was defeated 10-2. If Dublin were part of the 10 (it was an anonymous vote) and changed their mind, the motion would still be defeated 9-3. How have Dublin "had a number of chances to vote to move out of Croker" on this basis?"
I was talking about central funding not the money counties make off their own backs."
Well, you certainly didn't make that clear.

Dublins neutral game is played in Dublin its as simple as that. In a stadium where they play 95% of their games whether drawn away from home or not. The dubs can post all the facts and figures they want but thats the bottom line.

81% of teams with home advantage playing teams from the same division have come out as winners from 2008 to 2012 and im sure those figures would not have changed much in recent years.

Whoever is in their group in the super 8s over the coming years have a big disadvantage unless the rules are changed to a fairer competition for every team involved.

Replying To razor425:  "Forced?? Dublin County Board and GAA HQ in 2009/2010 agreed to a mutually beneficial agreeement where Dublin would play their league games in Croke Park - no one had a gun to their head. With regard to the Leinster championship Dublin have had a number of chances to vote to move out of Croker over the last few years so clearly the Dublin County Board are happy with the current arrangement.

This has worked out pretty well for both sides so far - more money for HQ and more success for the Dubs which is obviously in some small way caused by playing "at home" in Croker all the time."
Firstly Dublin beat teams by 20+ points in the LSFC. Suggesting that moving these games out of Croker to try and even things up would be a moot point. Secondly would the Rossies vote to play their Connacht championship games in a 2000 seater stadium where perhaps 4-5000 of their fans would be left without tickets? I'm asking because requesting Dublin to play Meath in Navan or Kildare in Newbridge would be asking them to leave masses of fans without tickets. Likely not an option anyway with so many Dublin ST holders guaranteed tickets to these games.

The gist of the whole conversation since the Newbridge fiasco comes simply down to one question.

Why is it such and issue for fans not to get tickets to matches? If they can't go then, tough. The terms and conditions on season tickets cover this eventuality anyway.

This is the problem of the gaa these days, they are more concerned about what the fans want that they put all that and earning more money above the ineterests of the players who play the game.

If Dublin or anyone are drawn fair and square to play away in Newbridge or navan or wherever and every Dublin fan who can't get a ticket can't go then so be it!

Players first, fans second imho.
