Let me tell ya this now. If I read as much as one more anti GAA comment out of Murph he'll end up in the boot of a Renault Megane or find himself tied to a tree in Sixmilebridge |

As I said small minded and bitter and twisted to add too.
Murph gives his money to an org that were every bit as bad as the GAA. In addition some of the finest entertainment can be had in Croke Park on a summer's day with an All Ireland hurling semi final or final. A number of the Dublin V Mayo Dublin V Kerry games of a few years have been top class entertainment.. For pure entertainment value there was a period of 5 or 6 years and the contrast between the entertainment in Croker in September compared to what trap and o Neill were serving us up was remarkable. It's not a football stadium that's for sure as it's designed for 30 people playing at.the one time. Dont forget it also hosts concerts, so murph is ruling them out also. Small minded it certainly is.

Tbf not small minded at all. There’s 3 arguments here: 1. Giving money to “that” association (not a rovers supporters, but what Thomas Davis did would turn anyone off the gaa 2. Being bitter about paying through the nose to play there (that’s me too) 3. It’s a s*** stadium for football. I won’t be back there either

Always good to know can relax next time in Croker. There is no ground in the world that I would refuse to attend outright. Small minded Murph.

Well, it does look like a bedpan for a reason. Can't have skyscrapers to protect our sh*te skyline. Can't have nice stadiums because the old farts who live in proximity to them think they own the sunlight. Can't have concerts because the old farts who live in proximity to them can't handle a bit of noise between 8 and 10 any more than 5 times a year. Nothing more Irish than old people needing something to moan about or make them feel important.

You must be tiny. I've a ST there and can see the touchline no problem. I think it's a great view of the game also.

In the West Upper the other night, about 3-4 rows from front. When you sit back in seat, can't see the near touchline. Some sh*te stadium.

Yep defo. Easy to blame acoustics and even the teams performance but it's the crowd that create atmospheres and thankfully there is some improvement on this front

Horses for courses. The new Lansdown took a little while to settle into, but it really feels like home now. And I've always thought the atmosphere there has been good when we played in games where there was something on the line and we were pressing. The last 10 minutes against Switzerland and Denmark in the last campaign, the place was rocking for example.
A full Croker for a big GAA match is hard to beat though. I'm not sure I've been to any sporting event that had a better atmosphere than the 2011 All Ireland Final. Even at 50% capacity, if Mayo win today you'll definitely feel it through the tv

I used to think the same but the Bohs games with 6-8k at each game disproved that. The action on the pitch is definitely the major factor in sustaining a decent atmosphere.
