Dublin hurling never have an athmosphere to start with..and its good nuff for them!! as Dublin people never come out to support in the first place so they will always get shot down in decisions like this...look at wexford a population of 70000 and 50000 wexford people traveled to croke park last sunday! I have no sympathy for Dublin people they deserve what they get!

"Always"? Think you're 100% wrong there. Or did you miss the fact we played Carlow away this year?

Why? It's not needed with the Leinster council continually voting to keep Dublin in Croke Park for greater revenue generating capabilities Why don't you evenly invest in Hurling? Dublin invest 50% of all revenue on both codes across the board jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 04/07/2017 14:20:46 2010441 Link 1 |
Poor mouth whinger None of yiz were talking about financial advantages after you beat Dublin in the NFL Di v 1 final?? Strange that jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 04/07/2017 14:21:50 2010442 Link 1 |
I don't think that's fair re country lads and Dublin. A third of the population live in Dublin and a large percentage of that population is from the country or first generation Dubs. Those are the people who have done the hard graft supporting and promoting hurling in Dublin. This thing about country v Dublin in hurling does not stand. Those of us who attend hurling games know that there's a huge difference between a Dublin hurling supporter and some of the fair day Dublin football supporters.

Do you know me? How do you know what I like? Just because I'm from one of the weaker hurling counties I'm not supposed to have a point of view? Get over yourself for God's sake, it's a public forum.

There's no room to build the ground to a higher capacity. There's a good course behind two parts and a school behind the stand with houses at the back wall of the donnycarney terrace. Not possible to increase capacity in any significant way. croke park lies idle in the league and is a win win for all the gaa Dublin and other counties having out footballers play league games there hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/07/2017 14:37:11 2010454 Link 0 |
No not really, Thurles is the designated second ground for hurling(even it is the best playing surface) and that is where U/21 finals are played. No more than if a side got to an AI semi or final versus Dublin you would have to go to Croker. Rules should not be abandoned just because on occasion they can favour a certain county.

How many people supported the wexford footballers? Your making very silly comments. No county has big support for both games equally. Plus wouldn't that class wexford hurling supporters as bandwagoners as i guarantee you would be first on here if dublin filled croker for hurling game to say look at all the hurling bandwagoners in Dublin

Rubbish talk. so dublin hurling only exists because id country people get out of it. I support both football and hurling I go to both football and hurling matches all the time. So who are you to suggest anything of me. Also it's kind of funny wexford and Galway could pluck a huge interest when the going is good and get plaudits for the bandwagon support last Sunday but you turn around and suggest the most largest hard-core fan base of any sport in Ireland the dublin footballers are all fair weather supporters, what a ridiculous statement to make. We didn't even make an all ireland final between 96-2010 yet still had massive support. Like I said I go to both as much as possible but I prefer football to hurling and your the country hurling type that if u said that face to face in conversation would immediately form a different opinion of me because I'm not a hurling only person, it always annoys me these snobbery hurling only types hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/07/2017 15:28:37 2010490 Link 1 |
Galway/ Longford had to travel to Croke Park in 2015 for a double header against the Dubs. WunderBar (Galway) - Posts: 290 - 04/07/2017 15:33:43 2010494 Link 0 |
I understand where the Dublin chairman is coming from. If they were promised a neutral location beforehand, having to play Tipp in Thurles is unfair. And just fixing hurling games in Thurles as a default, is a bit lazy. Marlon_JD (Tipperary) - Posts: 1823 - 04/07/2017 15:37:33 2010495 Link 2 |
Dublin getting a taste of their own medicine now. Now they know how the rest of us feel. Karma and all that. No sympathy. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9706 - 04/07/2017 15:40:47 2010497 Link 2 |
