Why do Bohs fans always make the Wicklow joke? It's f**king moronic. It was never funny

I won't go as far as the first division but in the premier we have a
very mixed bag with some huge gaps between the best and the worst
stadiums. Licensing really needs to be enforced on the culprits down at the bottom, some of them are in appalling state
Top of the class Tallaght, Turners Cross Good Eamonn Deacy, Showgrounds Okay but need improvements Flancare, Markets Field (putting it in this category as can only go from what I've seen on the box since the upgrade), Richmond Very poor need extensive work Brandywell, Dalymount, United Park Terrible simply not good enough Carlisle Grounds, Oriel |

Capacity, 4 sides, location (as in~ not in the f**king mountains with a gale blowing through most games) 4/5 pubs within 3 minute walk, bar on site open to all, served by 7/8 bus routes and the Dart is 4 min walk away As someone else said your fascination with the GAA is embarrassing |

Pearse Park in Longford has no fire cert and they have to knock the main stand.

The Regional Sports Centre is a better ground than both Walsh Park and Fraher Field in Waterford which are 2 of the poorest county grounds around. I'm not saying that in a point scoring way as support both teams but it's a fact. Two modern covered stands at RSC versus 1 old stand at both GAA grounds with uncovered gravel or grass banks for the rest of the ground.
Some LOI grounds could do with improvement but funds are the issue. Waterford City council run the RSC and could get grants as also used for athletics. |

Showgrounds obviously. The park is falling apart. But the question is overall. To pick one of the worst GAA grounds in the country is stupid. Anyway the GAA infrastructure is miles ahead of the combined grassroots/LOI/international team infrastructure. |

I have no idea why you have dragged the GAA into a discussion about LOI stadia. But what you have done is pick the best LOI grounds and pitted them against the worst GAA grounds. If you want to do a comparison pick the top 5 GAA grounds and pit them against the best 5 LOI grounds. I reckon GAA grounds come out on top. Now take the likes of Stradbrook and St. Coleman's park and pit them against marcevicz park. I reckon the GAA still comes out on top. As most people have already told you here you're argument is like comparing apples with oranges. We may as well compare our grounds to EPL stadia. Its along the same line of pointlessness. We need to improve our stadia and so do other codes. The fact remains the GAA will take in 16million from the hurling semis (possibly could be football semis). Our league can only dream of that kind of revenue. Their stadia works for them by and large ours don't. If you need me to hammer home the point even more Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada in the home to Leitrim GAA in Carrick on Shannon. It has one stand with a capacity of 3000. If you offered it to our sides 10-15 of them would take it. |
