Exiting Hogan Stand and trying to get to Clonliffe Road

(Oldest Posts First)

Tomsmith here

I was in the Hogan Stand on Sunday and as I left on the Davin Stand end I was faced with a group of stewards who corralled me on Jones Rd over towards the North Circular RD outside of Croke Park.
I wanted to go to the Clonliffe Rd area and I had to travel in teeming rain over to the NCR and up to Drumconra Rd--- a wild long distance.
I don't see the logic of this new operation.
Anyone else discommoded

Happened myself aswell on the day of the hurling final. I went back in to go around by the tunnel but there was gards and stewards preventing me from goin down that way. I went back out and said I'd bite the bullet went to go left and did so, after walking 10 or 20 metres I just turned around and made my way to the croke park hotel against the crowd, but wasn't too difficult in the side of the footpath across.

This isn't a new operation and its a common sense approach from croke park stadium management/the gardai and all other relevant authorities. It is done to stop crowd congestion in places and its very simple logic. google it and you will see the reasoning behind why this is done
