County grounds being underused

I went to the double header last year when Offaly were playing Kildare, and Dublin were playing Westmeath, and there was very few Dubs at that, until their game was starting.

tullamore only holds 17 thousand capacity
the absence of terace makes it look hald done and the capacity is counting people standing on flat grass which is bad form.
the steps on the terrace in portlaoise along with the galeic grounds in limerick are way too small
similarly in newbridge the same problem exists on the terrace opposite the stand.
longford unused goal has been like that since dublin played down there in 2006.
navan could easily have the terrace all as one similiar to killarney which would allow keep 30 thousand capacity

My goodness you are picky this evening, Dublin County Board should employ you to look after Parnell Park with your obvious nuance and enthusiasm she would be up to standard in no time!!! I've stood in Portlaoise and Newbridge for many years now and I must say small terrace steps would not have been a problem in my view, maybe you just have big feet :-)

Ritchie q
When I say small steps I ment the gap between the one your standing in to the one in front in front of you hence the problem if you get anybody taller then you then you will struggle to see the match properly you mad thing
