Replying To ThePowerhouse: "Is that a criticism of rugby, Croke Park or Leitrim Gaa." Croke Park I can eventually see it being sold to Dublin City Council for use as a municipal stadium boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 19/01/2025 14:50:33 2586357 Link
Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Croke Park I can eventually see it being sold to Dublin City Council for use as a municipal stadium" In the meantime, will Leitrim GAA have the opportunity to play there as they have in the past? ThePowerhouse (Leitrim) - Posts: 152 - 19/01/2025 15:55:54 2586374 Link

Replying To ThePowerhouse: "In the meantime, will Leitrim GAA have the opportunity to play there as they have in the past?" If it came between a clash with a Leinster rugby game and a low tier GAA comp Leitrim might be involved in who do you think Croke Park would prefer? boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 19/01/2025 16:46:55 2586378 Link
Replying To Square_B: "Better to have it lie idle for the pigeons I guess...." Better to have it promote our national sports than a rival one boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 19/01/2025 16:47:22 2586379 Link
Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Better to have it promote our national sports than a rival one" Why are you so afraid of other sports? You'd sware the GAA was providing their facilities for free. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1095 - 19/01/2025 17:01:05 2586381 Link
Replying To Square_B: "Why are you so afraid of other sports? You'd sware the GAA was providing their facilities for free." Afraid of other sports? What are you on about? I'm not a fan of rugby and I don't think the GAA should be promoting a rival sport by allowing it access to some of its grounds. boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 19/01/2025 17:12:40 2586386 Link
Any true GAA fan couldn't care less about Croke Park. It's for the once-a-year brigade points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 285 - 19/01/2025 17:21:04 2586390 Link

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Afraid of other sports? What are you on about? I'm not a fan of rugby and I don't think the GAA should be promoting a rival sport by allowing it access to some of its grounds." Leinster have the demand to sell out Croke Park, the demand is there. The GAA rents out Croke Park to facilitate demand, win win for all. So as I've said, why are you so afraid of other sports? It's only a business arrangement, the GAA won't fold because the stadium is rented out. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1095 - 19/01/2025 17:40:25 2586393 Link
Replying To points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet: "Any true GAA fan couldn't care less about Croke Park. It's for the once-a-year brigade" Some people are fairly insecure about it... thank God we don't pay much heed to them as we'd be still sloshing round in muck if we did.

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Better to have it promote our national sports than a rival one" Rugby or Gaelic football… no real difference.. they both continuously pass the ball backwards ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3289 - 19/01/2025 17:51:38 2586395 Link

Sure why not sell the ground to Leinster rugby then and rent it off them? boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 19/01/2025 17:53:03 2586397 Link
Replying To Square_B: "Some people are fairly insecure about it... thank God we don't pay much heed to them as we'd be still sloshing round in muck if we did."

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Some people are fairly insecure about not everyone agreeing with them" Says the person getting your knickers in a twist about a business arrangement with Leinster Rugby. Grow up. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1095 - 19/01/2025 18:37:25 2586406 Link
Replying To Kew: "Leinster want to play the last 16 game in croke park. GAA need to tell them to get lost it's a gaa stadium and the rugby crowd are acting like croke park is their stadium now." Hopefully it will extend to three games, if all goes well for Leinster. Pity Ireland do not have this option, contracted to Aviva for another 5/6 years. Do you really think the GAA will act like fool's and turn down good money? seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2209 - 19/01/2025 18:42:27 2586409 Link
Replying To CTGAA10: "If it's available let the Gaa take the money..one question I have is why are the moving from Aviva,thought it was only for a quarter or semi they had to do it." Teams never had to move for quarters and they got rid of rule about moving for semis a while back. Aviva isn't available for some reason I believe KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3701 - 19/01/2025 19:32:11 2586417 Link

Do you really think the GAA will act like fool's and turn down good money?" They have penalties which is turning down replay money. The problem is leinster is not a gaa province anymore so croke park has been taken over by rugby fans. Meath don't have hurling or football so most probably sit at home watching rugby as they don't have any teams to follow outside some ladies games Kew (Galway) - Posts: 118 - 19/01/2025 21:34:42 2586448 Link
