I'd love it to be moved but it won't be it's already been voted in last year by Congress last year.

Ah sure to hell with it all, best thing that ever happened the GAA. Dub's should go ahead and build their own stadium and keep as much of their earning power as they can. Better still Dublin should object to playing it anywhere else from were the GAA stipulated it must be played as is our right. A walk over either way, whether they turn up or not, but sure who cares. Will never happen to hurlers best stick to proper code.

I don't mind playing the Dubs in Croker, it will be great experience and if we are intending to win Sam again at some stage we'll have to do it there so the more times we play there the better.
Most Donegal fans I know are delighted with the way Declan has us playing after the negative rubbish RG was fixated on,
I think the best we can hope is to finish second and have a crack at the AI semi, Dublin will likely win all 3 super 8 games, great to be there and pit our wits against the best in the business, should be a great night in the capital.

Everyone knew that the provincial champions meet each other in croke park for the first super 8 game I can't see the problem its not as if its a new development and was moved from another venue to croke park to give the dubs an advantage .
The only teams that should be looking to play Dublin in a neutral venue are the winners of Roscommon armagh which will be dublins 2nd croke park game

This game is not the problem. It's the croke park game and like it or not it's considered a neutral venue. The problem is dublins home game should be in parnell park.

So do Donegal want their game against us on the 14th moved or our home game against Roscommon/Armagh moved? Shouldn't it be the Rossies or Armagh who put in an objection? Can we play in Parnell Park against Roscommon/Armagh and still play Donegal in Croker? Win win, right? Right?

It was bound to happen that a county protest. The likelihood is that nothing will come of it other than stating some rule or other from the minutes of a meeting from a room in Croke park named after an early 20th century trade unionist.

But out of principle, it is definitely worth drawing attention to.

Bottom line is that capacity will be used as a reason to have Dublin play 2 games in Croke park. There is no doubt that Sky and other suitors will want this to remain so - business is business.

I disagree that it is a factor in Dublin's dominance in recent years as they would yield the same success away from home. But they are not going to kick up much of a stink either...as they might not be let. see the above paragraph for the reason.

Personally I hope it goes on in Croke Park but I fully back the Donegal stance as I am sure most Dublin supporters do too. For too long Dublin have had an unfair advantage (in many facets) and will still get to play any AI semi final and final in Croke Park anyways. Hopefully the game will be played in Croke Park but looking forward games at a neutral venue should be just that, same for everyone. These so called delegates that vote things in are obviously clueless as to what they are voting in no doubt blinded by whatever amount of money they are promised to pay off mismanaged county board debts. The changing of U-21 to U-20 plus the introduction of the U-17 instead of minor has been an absolute farce. Players due to be U-21 this year just forgotten, clueless scheduling and of course players being ineligible then eligible if knocked out just a few examples. It is about time that people copped and started making a stance to some of the nonsense.

It is nothing to do with Donegal as the provincial winners were all due to meet in CP.

Have lost a lot of respect for Donegal for this grandstanding.

Its Roscommon or Armagh who will be impacted. So we bring the winners of this game to 'neller and we will crucify them.
