Replying To Bon:  "Could be worse, could be subjected to Irelands call drivel."
They might as well play the Irelands call rubbish. I'd sooner see that being interrupted than the national anthem.

Replying To Bon:  "Jealousy I'd imagine. Like these types who whinge when the Government give the GAA money."
We got way less than soccer did this year

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Not talking about fans so much - we all have our clowns - but there is huge and long standing hatred between Dublin FAI and ourselves. No idea if that is case elsewhere.

They deliberately refused to use Hill 16 on tickets when we foolishly let them in. "Northern Terrace"!!

Some may mock me, but you don't sneer at our history and expect us to be overjoyed with your occasional success!"
There are about 10% of idiots on either side that feel a massive antipathy from the soccer side to the GAA and vice versa in Dublin.

There are clearly in the minority on either side though.

In fact there is a huge crossover in support for the 4 Dublin LoI sides and the Dubs. The vast majority of attendees at Dalymount, Richmond, Tolka Pk and Tallaght Stadium are regular attendees to support the Dubs in Croker from my experience.

A lot of GAA clubs work well enough with their soccer counterparts locally. There are some cases where they don't of course, but seeing as soccer and GAA are so linked in Dublin both need to work with one another, particularly in more disadvantaged areas.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "I hope i am not being presumptious but i guess he might be referring to fact rugby supporters allowed bring alcohol to seats?

Personally i think that is terrible idea. If you can't last a short time without a drink, stay in pub.

Still, it tells its own tale does it not of how both fans are regarded!"
No need for alcohol to be sold at all in Croke Park. It survived long enough without any bars. I wonder too if and how much it affected trade for pubs in the vicinity of Croke Park?

Replying To Saynothing:  "Not that I'd personally want it, but other sports fans could, and had the option to take drinks back to enjoy in their seats, it's as if they are more civilised than us mere mortals."
Rugby fans have always been allowed bring beer back to their seats so you probably should take that up with the GAA. Has nothing to do with renting out Croke Park to other sports.
