Reading a post somewhere here after the Dublin v Kildare game about players slipping on the relaid grass after the Coldplay concert at the hill end of HQ I couldn't believe it was as bad till I witnessed it myself yesterday in both games all be it after the U2 concert,will this improve much for next weekend ? I'm sure the experts will not agree with a humble supporter like me commenting on this... stoneygrey (Monaghan) - Posts: 211 - 30/07/2017 09:21:30 2025707 Link 0 |
I think the pitch is in shocking condition. I haven't seen it this bad in a long time, granted there's been 2 concerts on it within a month. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 31/07/2017 09:25:27 2026420 Link 0 |
It was obvious to all yesterday that the pitch was not 100%. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 31/07/2017 10:10:08 2026466 Link 0 |
Croke Park pitch is like an ice rink when it rains...I don't know if concerts have anything to do with it but surly work can be done? Ogs. Wen like that for years now. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 31/07/2017 11:19:25 2026526 Link 0 |
It wasn't just the slipping either, there's a very bad bounce on the pitch. I saw players bounce the ball and it seemed to take far too much of a forward bounce which was unnatural. Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 31/07/2017 11:23:02 2026530 Link 0 |
