Why should they though? To spend a fortune, disrupt part of a season of fixtures, cause rail disruption, lose possible concert revenue during construction and lose the traditional end for Dublin supporters which creates a great atmosphere at matches. The Hill is also great for non-Dublin supporters for games, much better craic than being in the stands. There'd only be football finals, the odd hurling and maybe some Dublin matches that would sell out the extra capacity. They would never make that money back unless they sold naming rights.

Wtf are you on about , here you go again twisting things , the whole of hoganstand has seen you say "you won't go to Croker again" and Now unbelievably your trying to twist it again. You never seen it I've seen it loads of times I also seen women being carried out after fainting loads of times back in the '90 I'm also in the paper the day the Union Jack was burned I'm wearing the number 8 jersey that made the front of the star the Monday after.

Terraces are the way forward worldwide. Stadiums all over Europe are turning back the clock and refitting rail terracing everywhere. So to say that Croker needs to be all seats is ridiculous. Get the atmosphere back...get people up off their giant derrieres bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 12/08/2017 19:01:48 2032624 Link 2 |

Having seats doesn't mean people have to sit. Just look at many big soccer games and there's thousands who're in seats but stand for entire games. And having people standing won't get atmosphere better

Ok your really starting to scare me here; I said knock the hill down and build the stadium around You then said; the day they do that I'll stop going to Croke Park. Now somehow your now saying I'm twisting things when the whole of hoganstand can see what you've said. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 13/08/2017 20:32:05 2032898 Link 0 |

Railway tracks aren't the real problem The residents pose the big problem Also was told by the guide on the Croke Park tour that it would only add 5000 seats So really not financially prudent The GAA have all ready bought some of the houses right behind the Hill at least that's what I was told True or false I don't know

Only time the Hill is overcrowded is when Dublin are playing. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3718 - 20/08/2017 15:38:34 2035558 Link 0 |

I reserve the right to demand and am entitled to Hill tickets , however I don't want them until I do want them , just about sums up the attitude of many to standing on the Hill

This was my point last year when Mayo played tipp and the hill was more or less empty , I said give out equal amount of tickets but at least give the Dubs more Hill tickets seen as we fill it every game. People didn't agree with my point I still stand over it.

So the opposition should not be given the same chance to buy 40 euro All Ireland final tickets? Get over it. It ain't Dublin's Hill.

Of course you should be allowed some hill tickets but Dublin should get more and then yous get more stand tickets. We've fill it every game ffs , in you're last 3 games you've had max 2 thousand people on it. You obviously don't like going to the Hill and the few that do can still go with the Hill tickets you get. I'm saying give out equal amount of tickets but give more Hill tickets to the supporters who fill it all year long. Obviously this means nothing if we don't get to the final.

Stand tickets are €45 for quarter and semi and then €80 for final..the hill for the final is €40/45..there is a big difference in price for the final and thats why many ppl want hill tickets come the final..never mind the stupid facebook posts about taking over the hill from the dubs, its about been able to afford the day.. tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 600 - 22/08/2017 11:22:04 2036323 Link 0 |

The Hill is vital to the atmosphere in Croker. You have to give it to the Dubs fans. They really light the place up when they play. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1825 - 22/08/2017 13:41:04 2036387 Link 0 |

Tickets for all other sections of the ground are divided & allocated on a reasonably equitable basis, except the Hill when Dublin are playing. It's absolutely unacceptable in today's age that not only are Dublin playing most of their C'ship games there but one entire end of the ground is allocated to their supporters. This has a huge effect on the opposition as it is very intimidating. The Hill should be allocated equitably to all counties & Mayo fans who have travelled for nine games at huge cost are been treated like sh%te by the Gaa. They should be entitled to an equitable share of Hill tickets to accommodate their fans to give them a cheaper option ticket. But we all know that the Gaa is now run on an inequitable basis & Dublin benefit most, most games in Croke Park, total dominance of Hill 16, highest rate of direct funding, highest number of coaching officers on the ground, greatest number of games televised, Cumann an mBunscoil finals played in Croke Park, it's very frustrating for the other counties who scrape by & have to go to massive expense to go to Croke Park. Can't see things changing under the present leadership of the Gaa. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 22/08/2017 14:44:15 2036415 Link 0 |

Nonsense whinging. The Hill is not allocated specifically to Dublin fans for Dublin games. For any Dublin game, opposition supporters have the exact same access to the Hill as Dublin fans. Nothing more annoying on here than posters pontificating and complaining about things that are so clearly untrue. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13703 - 22/08/2017 16:21:28 2036456 Link 0 |

Not true, check it out, Dublin get a greater allocation of Hill tickets than other counties.
