This thread is a bit of an eye-opener. Bizarre attitude and entitlement from some.

Sorry Hill, but cant agree with you on this one.
Much as I want to!
The Hill isnt "ours"
And we have no more a right to it than anyone else, especially with the price difference
Sorry buddy, but on this one, I have to say I think the whole idea of a boycott etc smacks of entitlement and BS which has no basis in reality

Replying To ROS1: "There is no option to stand if you go to McHale park people have no choice. I would far sooner be standing under the roof in the Hyde terrace side then sitting out in the rain in McHale park. There was alot of Donegal, mayo and tryone fans who would have gladly took hill tickets for the quarter finals. The hill was not full for Dublin Leinster games. The wages are lower in the west with some of the most economically disadvantaged area in ireland" There's no option because they didn't bother building one haha why is that do you think????
I'm sure a lot of farmers earn far more than me, plenty of unemployment in dublin.

Replying To Ccgall4: "Well I live in Dublin. I spend a huge amount of money on rent. I have attended all of the games thus far and do you hear me complaining?????????
Get a grip." I'm not complaining about the price of tickets either pal I think you will find thats the excuse been linked from others on here as to why they go to the hill or NALLY on all ireland final day

Replying To Mobot: "So are you referring to supporters like me who attend every Donegal game where possible as a tourist or bandwagonor? Same for Mayo, kerry fans etc?? For each of the last 6 Ulster final I have been behind the goals (town end) in Clones to watch the game and we have played Monaghan in 3 of those finals and you don't have Monaghan supporters going around claiming ownership of that terrace behind the goals. I have been to plenty of league games in croke park over the years involving Dublin (I live in Dublin) and funny enough the hill can be quite bare in the months of Ferbruary, March and April so speaking of bandwagoners........" I wouldn't call a packed middle of the hill bare my friend.
that's fine fair play to you but why do you and the others choose not to go to the hill then for all ireland quarter finals, semi finals or league semi finals or league finals or qualifiers when te are playing in croker??

Replying To uibhfhaili1986: "Because the GAA want to make more money by not allowing fans the cheaper ticket option.
If fans had the option to go to the hill they would.
You see terraces with thousand in them in grounds all over the country despite there being seats available" Haha yeah come off it man sure the terrace in thurles does be empty apart from cork hurlers, then why are all these hardened regular terrace goers never complaining about the hill being closed when Dublin aren't playing?

Replying To yew_tree: "hill16no1man has completely lost the plot by bringing Gareth brooks and mortgages into the scenario. Give it a rest lad. If tickets were handed out by population/number of fans Mayo would get about 10,000 tickets and the dubs would have the run of Croke Park." Clearly a valid point as tickets for a concert are more expensive than a stabd ticket for all ireland final day but yet don t let facts get in way of a good whinge

just feel strongly about being shafted.
all these brilliant club men around the country seem quite happy that mayo clubs get same amount of tickets as membership almost but Dublin clubs get a fraction. its kind of wrong wheb you have more supporters at the first round of the league than the all ireland final

Replying To MesAmis: "That's probably it in a nutshell.
Also a decent amount of Mayo people living in Dublin involved in Dublin clubs competing for tickets in those clubs.
There are a lot of Dubs living in the surrounding counties, particularly Meath and Kildare, but there are less likely to be involved in local clubs seeing as their home club is probably only about 20 minutes away. Dublin's own traditions of family versus locality also add to this as people tend to play/join their family club rather than the club that is closest to them geographically." completely agree mesamis...that is a huge reason for it...they dont integrate into the club scene in those areas compared to the mayos

Replying To hill16no1man: "The larger allocation they should get as i already stated not all the tickets, mayo have no interest in standing at home games as they built an all seater stadium there was no demand for a terrace. They therefore forego the cheaper ticket option in McHale park every game. They had an all ireland semi final against tipp where they also choose to forego the cheaper option of the terrace ticket with an attendance of over 50 thousand the hill only had a few hundred out of that." if they want to go to the hill let them at it....at the end of the day i count myself lucky to even get an all ireland ticket..no one county is entitled to one area of croke park..its the national gaa stadium

Replying To hill16no1man: "referencing mchale park is very relevent.
for one its not that long revamped
then take the fact most people talk about terrace being cheaper option
the mayo supporters obviously arent stupid so they know they are not being offered the cheaper option for all games in mchale park by not having a terrace. if they had a problem with cheaper option or wanted to stand at games surely there would have been a demand for it in mchale park. show me where i said croke park belongs to dublin or why you think anybody is implying that even ?
the fact about the hill is no other counties want to use it until a final, you can dress it up what ever way you like but it doesnt tend to be open for games not involving dublin up until the all ireland semi finals because they dont look for tickets." its not relevant though is it really?..how many proper big matches are played in mchale park outside of the few league games and connacht championship?

Replying To hill16no1man: "so you basically feel if you couldnt be bothered using a terrace option all year you should still have every bit as much right to use it as a tourist or bandwagoner come an all ireland final day as somebody who has choose specifically to use the terrace option for the year.
for me the gaa needs to reward supporters not use them and frustrate them." but you seem only interested in the gaa rewarding dublin supporters..thats all you seem to care about..the gaa is for all..not just one county

Replying To hill16no1man: "thats only because you get wet in uncovered stand that applies in most grounds.
it still means theres no demand for a standing ticket what ever way you dress it up.
not very few games the hill does be full for all dublins championship games
the only part of the terrace not full does be the nally.
the cost of travel and food applies for quarter finals and semi finals too so dont feed me that
afterall they dont have to pay as much to live in mayo as a house costs in dublin so if you want to go down that road
think of how much they are saving on living in mayo compared to dublin the disparency in the cost of buying or renting in both counties can easily be used in that case, a few bob in petrol or thousands of euro in savings from mortgage or renting do the maths." yes but they actually play away games..the level of ignorance is crazy here..stop acting so entitled

Replying To hill16no1man: "Haha all these people had no problem paying more than 80euro for a Garth Brooks ticket in croker, food transport hotels were not even an after thought they were following over themselves to get a stabd ticket then" so all the fans from the country are garth brooks fans and theres no garth brooks fans in dublin is it?..you are making a show of yourself here and making other dublin fans look bad

Replying To hill16no1man: "I have no problem from people from other counties who go to the hill on a regular basis, in fact there's an offaly man who goes hail rain or snow to all games and that guy lost out last Sunday probably the first match in croke park he has missed all year that he wasn't on the hill, it's the Johnny come latelys and bunches of teenagers who seem to be able to get tickets ahead of people who go all year, or the women on clonliffe road who need to ask people how to get to croke park that walk In for a day out because the gaa hands almost as many tickets to counties like mayo on all ireland final day as there is members In there clubs. While most Dublin clubs get paltry amounts of tickets per club membership" Do you think everyone from Dublin was a genuine true blue. Every county will have a bandwagon element when the are doing well and unfortunately these are the type of people through connections will get tickets ahead of genuine supporters.

Replying To hill16no1man: "Again where did I say croke park is dublins home pitch, very find of making accusations without backing it up.

Replying To hill16no1man: "One simple question then why is it they only open it for Dublin footballers matches apart from all ireland finals and semi finals" I believe the were open for both sets of quarter final. But you ask a good question paraphs another example of the favouritism shown to the dubs the fact there are very few games before quarter final staged in croker not involving dublin
