And it's relevant to the original post because he's pointing out how much it's going to cost him for them to go to the game when in reality it shouldn't cost him anything. If a 19 year old can't afford to pay €20 for a match ticket it's his problem as an adult, not his parent's.

His point was that the hill won't be open doing away with the terrace and cheaper ticket option, be that him paying for it or his son's paying his point still remains the same.

It's a figure of speech as you well know but you always have to get your mature 'hahaha' in to every comment so we'll let you have it. My 18 year old 'kid' has a full time summer job to help pay his way for college, never mind GAA tickets. He's still my 'kid'.

The Hill not been open for a game actually creates a terrible atmosphere for both the supporter in Croke Park and for those looking at the game on the TV. They would be better off closing part of the lower deck on Hogan Stand at least that way it would look a lot better on TV than seeing a team scoring into an empty terrace. I would also guess its difficult on players as the goal post tend to blend into the grey background of the hill. I always prefer a terrace ticket if possible because if there is a loud mouthed lug (from either your own or opposing county/ club) it's handy enough to move away. The GAA dont seem to understand that most supporters go to enjoy a game, for a cheap as possible, there is no need to open the bars on the Hill for a game, which would also reduce the number of cleaners need, personally I am not a fan of supporters spilling drink down my back when I am at a game. anto_meath (Meath) - Posts: 108 - 20/07/2017 16:23:47 2020092 Link 0 |

you cant bring drink up onto the hill anyway i agree went to thomond park and the amount of drink being spilt up on top of you while watching the game on the terrace was awful hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 20/07/2017 19:46:14 2020211 Link 0 |
I get your point about empty terraces Anto but it's not always the fault of the authorities. Different end of the scale I know but I was home for a week recently and took in the Wexford v Monaghan qualifier. You could wander in and out of any part of the stadium but it was just a handful of supporters who chose to stand behind either goal.

Your comment makes no sense whatsoever!! You're saying to close the Lower Hogan and force people into the Hill so that it looks good on TV, What!!! And when was the last time you were in Croke Park? Because drink hasn't been allowed into the stands for years so I don't how it's being spilled down your back! Sindar (Roscommon) - Posts: 348 - 21/07/2017 17:53:38 2020662 Link 0 |
