Prefer the aviva for the football. The football pitch so far in from the stand looked cat at croke park. i hated going to Ireland matches there
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Year before last, after a Dubs game I saw some knacker cycled up beside some guy on his phone and swiped it right out of his hand.

Croker after a game you'd have to go back into town for pints. A few more options around Lansdowne.

Pros: close to the pitch ,signing section

Right so, bit of a sh*thole alright but in over 20 years of going to Croker, I've never had a bit of hassle.
