Inner city Dublin is a predominately soccer area, be it north or south (although the support for the Dubs in the north inner city is absolutely huge, the playing numbers are anything but). I'm from the South Inner City and apart from myself and a few of my mates, most people are ''soccer heads'' as we call them. I was born into a staunch GAA family with country grandparents, so I suppose that's where my love for Gaelic Games stems from. But for the majority of people in Inner City Dublin, soccer is king!!

Something they definitely should look to exploit, but aren't doing enough imo. Although GAA is thriving in Dublin at the moment, as we all know, not enough is being done in working class areas. Id argue GAA participation is falling dramatically in these areas. Actually, its not up for argument, it definitely is dropping, period. GAA is seriously under threat in working class areas, and the powers that be seem happy to concede these heavily populated areas to soccer.

The GAA in Dublin in terms of player participation is overwhelmingly middle class now. ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 29/01/2020 12:31:26 2263471 Link 1 |
