Replying To ponger:  "Well how many times do we fill it every year... So why not fill it when its available and get a Kings ransom.

But to your other question. I still say this split season is fundamentally wrong and I've said it from Day 1"

Replying To eoinog:  "200 for 2 tickets for the Pinnacle of the Gaelic football season was great value.
Yesterday evening you gave over half that to see basically 2 junior teams playing. Neither side was at full strength and there was nothing at stake"
Here is another way of looking at it.

Professional Football pays its players , Bruno Fernandez gets £300,000 per week alone, yet they charged less than €100 for a ticket to Croke park

GAA NOT professional , David Clifford get paid €0.00 per week, yet Croke Park charge €100 a ticket for the all Ireland

One was a friendly, the other was the pinnacle of our game. Try getting the best champions league final ticket for €100.

Fundamentally wrong is a bit strong, a lot of us might prefer the September finals, but Fundamentally wrong?
