I played in a host of county grounds and LOI grounds and I can safely say the GAA county stadiums are way ahead of LOI grounds for the most part.

The dressing rooms in Dayler Athlone Towns "were" a disgrace.
Inchicore dressing rooms were as basic as you come, pretty poor when i played there.
Who was talking about dressing rooms?

Rovers, Cork, Sligo, Waterford and Galway are up to standard. The rest are far behind.

Jinx Avenue side in sligo is not up to standard. The view is obscured by poles and fences and the seats are broken.

Hmmm I suppose you're right. I suppose it's the best stadium in the league that is owned by a club.

A number of them. The GAA recently had to reduce capacity in almost all of them as there were massive health and safety concerns. Most county grounds are aged kips - even relatively modern onces like Parnell Park are nothing special.
How many of the listed would you consider even ok?
 
Like f**k you have.
 
Some of the grounds are not great but the vast majority are better than any of the LOI grounds I have been to.

Rubbish. Places like Navan, Sligo and Drogheda are absolute holes, far worse than any LoI ground. Pairc Ui Caoimh is another stalinist armpit.
 
Or put another way, what county ground has the facilities and spectator comfort of Tallaght or Turners Cross? Casement, the Gaelic Grounds and possibly Semple stadium. The rest are way off the standard of better LoI venues.

Have you seen the state of Casement Park lately
 
 
Tullamore and Pearse Stadium are at a better standard than most LOI grounds.

Jesus you Gahliban are touchy.

The simple and uncontroversial point was relative to other sports in Ireland, LoI grounds are in the main quite good. It takes some class of zealot to get all offended on behalf of the Gah over that statement.

I agree completely Tallaght County Council Stadium would be of far more use as a windmill farm.

I didn't get offended, I just pulled you up on your spoofing.

This is nonsense. We only have one ground with 4 sides to it. Most grounds are lucky to have one toilet (that isn't a porta potty).
We do have some nice grounds but compared to other sports we are a long way off.
Have we better grounds than GAA? Absolutely not
Rugby? Thomand, RDS, Ravenhill and the Sportsground. Bar the Sportsground the other stadia would be top grounds in this league.

We have some nice grounds no doubt about that. The top 3 are fairly obvious but 2 of those can be classed as works in progress.
Then we have nice grounds like Deacy, RSC and Inchicore.

I do have a lot of hope for the future. Finn Harps are building a new stadium.
Money is in place for a brand new Brandywell and Dalymount is going to get fixed up too.
Have a look at the SPL grounds and its far from a top league.
St Mirrens stadium is beautiful:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scottish_Premier_League_stadiums

I would love to think the infrastructure here could get to that level but St.Mirren spent £8million (about E10 M) and I don't see where any of our sides would get that kind of money from and a lot of them would certainly need to improve facilities to that level for it to have an effect on attendances.

Let's try this another way. Which is the better stadium? Markevic Park or the Showgrounds?

Is Tallaght Stadium better than Croke Park?

Its not, you got me there.
 
I would say that Parnell Park is in better shape than any LOI ground in Dublin.

I know what he is like, this is just keeping me entertained while I am waiting to finish work and go to Dalymount.
